Activitypub micropayments idea:
what if instead of some digital token like Taler or Monero, I send a digital “cheque” instead, which is a signed payment intent, signed with the other actor’s e.g. Liberapay pubkey.

At the end of the month, the other person can take all these micropayment cheques and prove to liberapay that other people owe them money, and everything is settled in one transaction.

@StrawDog @donni And the troubles were cemented when the capitalists failed to add a practical way for visitors to pay a website operator an amount between 0.10 and 1.00 USD for access to an Internet resource. (Each credit card transaction has a fee close to 0.30 USD on top of the 3% of the total.) This gap in financial services led directly to normalizing abusive ad practices to avoid the loss of reach that comes with requiring a monthly subscription.
