Hey, this is relevant to what I'm working on - I'm building an alternative to subscriptions for online publications. Instead of subscribing to entire publications / blogs, publishers would register their site on this network and configure thresholds and pricing. Add a bit of code to the publication and a paywall will show up, allowing configuration per article and allowing readers to pay for individual articles. The prices would be minimal, amounting to less than a dollar in most cases. i.e. reading articles using micro-transactions.

I know it's been tried before, as has been mentioned in this thread, but I thought I'd attack it with a few different angles - web based, no chrome extension, and thresholds to help verify the article is worth it.

Check it out here - https://paperwall.io

Especially considering the nature of this thread, I'd love feedback and what you'd like to see out of a solution like this.
