Just finished the minimum viable prototype for a identity and permissions brokering network: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLU1TJmMSjo&feature=plcp I'll be initially offering services such as single sign on and aggregated micropayments... think being able to charge as low as $0.25 / month / user for your service, without requiring users to sign up for a long period (which can hurt signup rates) or being hit with a $…

Neat. What types of scenarios do you see where site owners would be looking to charge people very low prices for software like $0.25/month?

Edit Room is the fastest way to build production-ready responsive web design prototypes. http://www.edit-room.com Solo founder, bootstrapping in my spare time. Rails and lots and lots of Javascript. Ask me anything!

Really cool, you should re-post as "show HN" (recommend later in the day) and make an effort to get exposure on the front page.

We are a daily deal platform. We host Groupon clones: http://www.zuupy.com .

Since most of the people who are going to be your customers will likely not be in the business long (let's be realistic), why not charge a large up front fee for them to purchase the software as opposed to letting them pay a monthly subscription? The daily deal business is extremely difficult (I work at livingsocial) and most of those clones won't last more than a couple months.
