#3Hi all. About 2.5 years ago I created Highscore Money. I was looking at pay-to-play games and wondered what would happen if you'd take it to the extreme. The result was just a leaderboard you'd pay your way into. Whatever you pay, that's your score.
Today, I'm launching a new social experiment. A chatroom where you pay for every message you send. Normally chatrooms can get messy quick, because there's no cost to sending a message. Expensive Chat changes this dynamic.

#4I feel like if a long message I typed doesn't even get wrapped - I'm not getting what I paid for and hence am entitled to a refund.
Plus some damages for my lost time

What makes this a social experiment rather than a simple cash grab? Are you donating all the money to a charity?

That screams blockchain, doesn't it? ;-)

It's an experiment on how much cash you can grab :)

#9Is there a micropayment service he could have used, to avoid micropayments showing up on a bank statement? Do any such services event exist?
Is this PCI compliant, since CC numbers are typed on his page?

What makes this different than any other business idea that legally convinces customers to part with their money?
