Eberhard WolffIn the nineties, micropayments for each visit to some websites were discussed. Now websites sell subscriptions which I never buy. But I would pay some money to read an article. Seems like money is left on the table. So what happened to micropayments?
moonglum@ewolff I‘m afraid the idea has been adopted and therefore killed by shitcoins of various sorts… 😬
@moonglum Do you mean Crypto? That doesn’t solve this problem, right? Or are you referring to something else?
@ewolff I'm referring to crypto currencies, yes. Solutions and problems are two mostly decoupled concepts 😇 Examples include the original implementation done by the Homophobe Browser (some call it "Brave") which was based on Bitcoin. But "micropayments" in general were flooded with crypto currency "solutions". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropayment
