- fiddlerwoaroof 9y agoThe browser could throttle the cc mining based on your battery level/power state. In theory, your device could even mine while charging and then distribute the mined tokens later.
- Zelizz 9y agoOr you could distribute tokens mined from a computer that's plugged in somewhere, or even purchased with normal currency. But I'm not sure I'd want to navigate a web where I'm constantly making purchase decisions with every hyperlink.
- akoncius 9y agoso why bother with additional steps (and cryptocurrency) instead of just pay with real money from the beginning? you are suggesting to introduce just additional unnecessary steps.
- fiddlerwoaroof 9y agoSome kind of micropayment system would be ok with me, but the nice thing about a system that doesn’t use real money is that it doesn’t factor into my budget in the same way.
- chii 9y agohow could it not use real money (i.e, it has no monetary value), and yet be an acceptable form of payment?
- akoncius 9y agoso I could not get access to content if my battery is low and I cannot mine cc ? or would I get access with "credit" so I would need to return "load" later?
- fiddlerwoaroof 9y agoI’m not sure, I’m just sketching out a solution to content monetization that might solve problems with current monetization schemes.
- akoncius 9y agoI understand, I just wanted to show that there are lots of implications and it’s not that easy to solve.
