Huh, I missed that. Yep, they were using Bitcoin back before it was fully a circlejerk, looks like, which is reasonable. Now I just know it as a Chrome spinoff that pretends to be private, haha.

It looks like Chrome's trying to do something similar, although there's a high chance Google will attempt a walled garden version.

"Web Monetization" is the keyword. It could be great for things like Lemmy, too, where hosting costs might eventually become a major obstacle.
