I tried using SSE and found it didn't work for my use case, it was broken on mobile. When users switched from the browser to an app and back, the SSE connection was broken and they…

Soz for the late reply. I think you kind of answered your own question. It's not can't, it's won't as you are willing to add tipping but not a paywall to your content :D So for con…

I think another problem with micropayments is competing with free is hard. Say you have the best lightning paywall with an amazing UX where it's super easy and automatic to pay a c…

True although I'm not talking about Ethereum smart contracts, I'm talking about Bitcoin ones which are very limited and not Turing complete. The lightning smart contract is like 20…

I think the bank failing risk is eliminated, if it fails the forwarded payment is unlocked so bankA gets their money back.

I realise that this might seem a bit niche but we can use this to create a payment network(like visa). This system is better as the nodes in the network don't need to trust each ot…

USD doesn't have smart contract abilities so yes you are correct about trusting a third party to exchange crypto to USD. You could use a stablecoin but that requires you to trust t…

Explanation: bankA -> bankB -> bankC. bankC creates a secret number, hashes it and sends it to bankA. bankA sends money to bankB locked to hash. bankB can't get money until they ha…

Correspondent banking. So say a bank in the States needs to send money to one in Spain. They may not have a relationship, so they go through an intermediary bank. You can use a sma…

In regards to point 1 about keybindings, I've used evdev to get something similar to Mac(my alt is CMD). https://github.com/csumtin/cua
