I bounced when they asked for my phone number. I think they should be working to implement Monero instead but this is still a good alternative to PayPal or Stripe.

I’m really supportive of this kind of protocol. I’ve long advocated for some system that allowed for micro-payments to support websites, both optional and paywall. We’ve seen what the expectation of having “free” services has gotten us, I’d much prefer to chip in to sites that provide me enjoyment or are informative.

I would easily pay as you go for high quality news if it were truly a “micro” transaction. Like a few penniea or less per article.

Looks like it’s based on the Web Monetization W3C proposal.
Look neat, though I’m always a little hesitant when the thing involves crypto. while Interledger is the main driver of the peer-to-peer payments so far, there is nothing stopping a government or banking service from creating an OpenPayment compatible service, so long run there might be a lot of flexibility and less being tied to a specific cyrpto.

There is no crypto.

Ah. I think I jumped to assumptions about interledger based on the wallet terminology.

I really like this. This is how monetisation should work.

I was about to leave a snide “Eww, crypto” comment here, but this “Interledger Protocol” seems like the most good-faith approach to digital currency I’ve seen yet? I’m not knowledgeable enough to fully understand it, but I hope it will actually turn out to be a good thing.
