[Temperature Check] Remove name registration fee

Currently, registering a name costs 10 RAD. Though in itself, the amount is high in $ terms, another issue is that we require all users to buy RAD before registering a name. This means they have to go on Uniswap and exchange some ETH or USDC for RAD, before being able to register a name.

I plan to vote in favor of this proposal as I think it will remove an unnecessary barrier to growing Radicle adoption by making it easier (&free!) to register a an on-chain identity.

You can delegate to my address (0x14E94aaCa7eBad882516eb969a7B67787a860B64) on Sybil until 12:00PM CET Thursday, March 24th if you are looking for an active community delegate to delegate to!

I will also be voting in favour of the removal. This is a clear hurdle in the user onboarding journey.
