    For the February issue of Wired, I wrote about "402 Payment Required" error code that's built into the web. "What 402 error, I've never encountered it" you say? Yep, that's exactly the problem I wrote about. https://www.wired.com/story/shouldnt-we-all-have-seamless-micropayments-by-now/ …pic.twitter.com/silYp9Jvug

        When people talk about how technology marches on, the point they conveniently ignore is that there is a significant amount of shaping power over *how* it marches on along the way. We do that for all technologies, and that’s the conversation to keep having about this young one.

        Interesting. I saw a video of the people behind the Xanadu project talking so much about how payments will work on their system (including remixes etc) that I realized that that kind of overthinking is why the web succeeded while Xanadu is still academic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72M5kcnAL-4 …

        we were promised micropayments on the scale of pennies; it's been implemented (to the extent it exists) on the scale of dollars!

        Content aggregator Steemit has incorporated a blockchain based micropayment site that has some neat features.

        Lightning Network is a digitally native peer to peer payment system that's fast, cheap, and doesn't sacrifice any personal information like credit card networks. It's pretty cool, and there are a lot of developers building products on top of it. https://dev.lightning.community/lapps/

        What "smart regulation" do you have in mind here? A few tech products I like here: - Lightning Joule (https://github.com/wbobeirne/joule-extension …) - Pro Tip (http://protip.is/ ) - Interledger (https://medium.com/interledger-blog/simplifying-web-monetization-871aee326170 …)

        It would be so nice to easly pay a small fee for reading an story online. There are a number of sites I follow and would like to support at some level but do not want to subscribe. Looking forward to seeing "402 Payment Required"
