Yessss! Just added my payment pointer, time to get those fractional pennies!

Now I'm much more excited to get my latest post out! Thanks DEV team!

It would be interesting in the next few weeks to see some rough analytics for avg. $/view that a popular post gets. Then in the longer term, actually plotting that across months to see if there is a measure increase or trend.

Hey Ben, a small doubt about web monetization. Where does this money come from? If you could point to a doc which explains how the whole thing works.

The money comes from other users/readers who use web monetization. As far as I know, Coil is the only payment service available right now, and costs $5/month.

DEV is actually hosting a hackathon right now centered around web monetization and the announcement post explains it all pretty well. Here's a link to it.

Hi Ben!

Hey wouldn't this be even more Neato if we could see the source that sent to the ledger network? Coil isn't the only stream of assets into my Uphold, but when it is, I would especially like to know which of my own properties that a Coil subscriber was visiting, so as to improve the focus of content creation on those platforms.

Suggestions?
