The Brave browser is an interesting first stab at this. Another project named Permission.io is also trying to reward users for their time and attention also (disclaimer, I work on it).
But ultimately what I find most fascinating about this article is blockchains being applied to all interactions- accessing web pages, doing this on web pages, everything. I'm thinking we'll all have wallets that constantly process micropayments everywhere we go, money going out, and coming back in, continuously.
Can't say I like it, but maybe it's more fair?
- chriselles 5y agoThank you for that! Conceptually, I really like the idea of being able to monetise one’s own attention beyond just one’s own time employed. Ultimately, jt would be super cool to gain a better understanding of one’s own time value beyond just employed work but also leisure and how it might help us to better conceptualise the limited time we have. Perhaps a less intuitive/instinctive and more quantifiable approach to how we might optimise our time. Even if the world doesn’t turn into a micropayment dystopia, I would think there’s great scope to utilise strictly voluntary smart contract personal incentives. Perhaps Jenny Craig turns into a smart contract blockchain platform that unlocks food pellets when the customers performs X. I’m mostly joking. My first thought is how it might be of value with my kids when it comes to school performance, fitness goals, as well as leisure/fun. We already do it, but maybe we could do it better.
