2020 & 2022 Grant for the Web Recipient. 2021 Grant for the Web Judge. I have personally seen the benefits of web monetization, and always excited to educate others on the technology! *Big Love & Hugs
I literally just DMβed Stefan Thomas on Twitter, wondering if it was possible to put a tipping feature in our web browsers extension drop down menu and/or tip in micropayments. By allowing users to have a bit more control over how those micropayments are distributed, Coil is empowering us all with having a bit more hands on say in how we want the payments shared with the content that weβre engaging with. Like - not everything in the vending machine is the same price, and some individuals may want to pay/stream/tip more for some content over others. How can we make sure they have this option? Either way - you and I are both seeing the value through empowering users to have more control with their spending in this ecosystem, without additional, clunky add ons or signups!
I think the thing with Coil is that they need to control the size of payments for their system to work/scale. Their product would be a lot more complex if you could subscribe at different levels, or tip.
I think that means it's another product (possibly from Coil, but could also see someone like Uphold, Mozilla, XRPL... doing it) to deliver on tips and/or user controlled payment rate. The flipside of that is that it results in a more complex user experience - you could do something today that hooked into an XRP wallet, but now I need users to create that etc. What's (very) nice about Coil is that it's not really about cryptocurrency from the user POV - I pay USD & get to pay the people I read/watch/listen to - neat!
Also, maybe (maybe...) larger payments are a ~solved problem. I can send you money via PayPal, I can support you via Patreon etc. Maybe that's a different thing?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
