“Charging one-off fees for news stories is a hassle: users don’t want to create an account and enter their credit card details for a single news story. It’s easier just to move on. Bitmonet leverages Bitcoin’s strength as a digital substitute for cash. In a demonstration on Bitmonet’s website, clicking on a story brings up a pop-up window offering a news story for US$0.10, a one-hour pass for $0.15 or a day-long pass for $0.20. The one-hour pass costs 0.0012 of a Bitcoin. Clicking the ‘Pay with Bitcoin’ button launches Bitcoin wallet software on a person’s computer. The transaction is painless: users don’t have to enter their financial details or create an account with the publisher.”
