If Farcaster is amping the wallet, I'd love to see someone build a little blogging app where you can charge people a small amount ot read your posts. I'd do 11¢ each. I like the number 11. let's do this.

Micro-payments for blogs have been a dream of the web for a long time. This has gotta be doable. LFG.

Yeah man! I do my posts on here on there, too, but as far as I can tell it doesn't have an a la carte system.

Just subscriptions. I could be missing something!

You can buy posts, now there are writer coins

I've seen you can "buy posts" but I don't think that really means by access, right? Like there's not really a gate. Like... show two paragraphs and then say "pay to see the rest."

and a writer coin thing is just too confusing. I don't get it. It's not legible. No normal person is going to bother to figure it out to get access.

it needs to be straightforward: "Open this post with a payment in stables"

That's the micro-payment approach writers on the web have been waiting for

the writer coins thing is weird. I'll try it out one day, but it's not straightforward and I don't have any optimism for it working out really
