Oh wow. Okay, thst's just great!
When I opened Deltachat some time a ago, an email address was require.

However I just tested this by installing DeltaChat on a LinuxPC and opened an account just by entering a nickname.

You're absolutely right, nothing is required at all. Thank you for pointing this out to me, I'll fix my post right away!
Thanks again.
