<p>The QBundle Burstcoin Wallet (v2.0.4, installed to Windows 10) requires a fee of 1 BURST to set the Name, Description, and Passphrase for the wallet. </p>

Are you referring to the online wallet or, the packaged windows launcher version?

The QBundle Burstcoin Wallet (v2.0.4, installed to Windows 10) requires a fee of 1 BURST to set the Name, Description, and Passphrase for the wallet.

Admittedly, the fee is very low (worth about 2.5 cents at the moment), but why is a fee required? Who receives it?
