I think the answer to a lot of this is integrations...

We already allow individual users to add a payment pointer to their profile for integration with Coil, etc. (shout out to the web monetization community built on Forem) and I think there's more we can do down this direction as well.

Coil looks very interesting, I will be testing it out! Sounds similar to how Brave works but I really like that an individual only needs to install the Coil browser extension and create a wallet in order to start paying out monetized websites. I wish the entire web was wired this way.

Thank you @ben and @ildi .

There's more to coming from Coil to unlock many new use cases and earning potentials on the web and to remove the dependency on Coil's extension.

  • We introduced Rafiki which will make it easy for any Dev to build a Wallet, an extension like the Coil extension, or a feature like tipping with Interledger
  • As part of our community program, we will start sharing updates and dev-focused monetization and interledger content on dev.to/Coil

Happy to chat!
