The brave browser in particular has built in micropayments feature.

- swift532 8y agoThey're trustless and borderless, and if something like Lightning Network works out, would be a great tool for microtransactions like the ones mentioned here. It'd be much easier to get a bunch of sites to use a decentralized currency than have someone's payment service on a "MySQL server", not to mention that cryptocurrencies have a natural equilibrium for payment fees, while such a service would only be looking to squeeze out as much fees as possible from this theoretical new way of paying for content.
