this might actually be a decent idea for an instagram competitor. Sounds dystopian, but I'm sure a good marketing department could make it seem normal.


If I had deep pockets I'd actually work on this idea. One issue I find is the processing cost of such nanopayments. Cryptocoins didn't live up to the promise of enabling this use case :(


Just bill monthly. Your power company doesn’t process a charge of $.08 every time you use a KWh of electricity...


Have people deposit a few dollars to open an account, then let them reload it when they’ve used up their posts?

Edit: actually the sibling comment’s suggestion (bill monthly) is probably better
