@raine I like this approach as well.

@raine I like this approach as well. I think it can be both, actually. I would definitely pay $1 or $2 to read a story, if it was relatively painless.

Sadly the costs associated with collecting payments online makes "micropayments" prohibitively expensive.

For example, Stripe† charges [0] 2.9% + 30¢ in the US which means that you earn 67¢ out of a $1 payment.

Flattr [1] comes to mind, but it shut down in 2023. Supertab [2] is another one I can think of that's also still active.

@boramalper @raine Right. But would buying a certain number of credits all at once be doable?
