Well you're kind of paying me for the opportunity to participate. I don't think my asking price for that is unreasonable. To put it into context, if 1000 people purchased a private key from me, I'd pull in a grand total of $0.34.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Why would the consumer want a private key? Private key for what?
To decrypt the message. To gain access to the content. Have you heard of subscriptions? This is a proof of concept for implementing something like on a public blockchain like Hive.
I see that.
I respect it.
I just think the readers could just say pay me to read it. It goes both ways. If it works it works. All the power to you. I just don't like to pay currency for knowledge that should be free, imo.
For an example, what if I wanted to restrict the front ends that have access to my content. My content is public. So front ends could make money from displaying my publicly available content. I might want to prevent that. Encryption might be an avenue to do that.
Then all you need is to automate the process onto your own webby.
"Pay here or vote enough to gain access to content."
Something that agorise could set up, is setting up for blurt. Or in the process of. Probably beginning stages.
It's interesting for those that want to monetize their own content.
It's also interesting for other applications. Like closed communities.
