seeing this packaged into a embeddable library really makes me want to do something like flattr but just using bitcoins (and not taking a cut. this would be just for fun) bitcoins are essentially free to transfer in any amount, so you could easily share 100% of what users are willing to contribute. Also, this would allow the service to instantly transfer a percentage of whatever a user has set aside, or even queue transfers up until coins are available. I really want to look into this now.

I would like to subscribe to the verbose version of your newsletter :) That sounds very interesting.

> seeing this packaged into a embeddable library really makes me want to do something like flattr but just using bitcoins (and not taking a cut. this would be just for fun) Please, please do. I love the flattr idea, but it would need a lot more donors to have a significant effect. And it turns out most donors aren't ready to use a service that takes 10% of their donations. The same idea for free or almost, which could be implemented with bitcoins to avoid transaction fees, could be a huge success. And I'd donate to its creator :)

You mean something just like: http://www.YouTipIt.org http://www.YouTipIt.org ? (add a tip badge on your site and accept bitcoins) Here's a site with a YouTipIt badge: http://www.BitcoinMiner.com http://www.BitcoinMiner.com YouTipIt's fee is 0.01 BTC per tip, subtracted from the tip amount. ----- There's also a Hacker News / Reddit / Digg type of site, where you pay bitcoins to post, vote, and reply. But then you earn from anyone who subsequently votes or replies to your contributions. It's live now: http://www.witcoin.com http://www.witcoin.com

  Witcoin is fascinating; thanks for the link. But it seems like it could make trolls very rich.
