Thanks for your comment Robert.

I saw your contribution and it's pretty cool! Well done!

What I had in mind would be something like:

  1. User visits monetized site
  2. Monetized site has registered its site in a OAuth2Wallet provider
  3. User is asked to sign in (much like Github, Google, FB etc...)
  4. Code is receiver to exchange for access token
  5. Access token contains payment pointer
  6. Monetized site requests content using access token
  7. Monetized backend sets up stream using payment pointer
  8. Monetized backend calls stream.receiveTotal(amount) every x seconds
