Web monetization looks so promising. The big hang up for it to work is users have to have an account somewhere shared or penny transactions and payment streaming are too expensive. The cost of bank transfers kills it otherwise. Does this require a GateHub account to send and receive? The benefit of Coil was that there was no central account issuer. It works directly with the XRP ledger. The catch with that one is payments in anything other that XRP must be tokens on the ledger.

I like the idea but so far I keep seeing lack of adoption, in the case of Coil, or a shared institution requirement. If either of those get fixed web monetization will take off like wild fire.
