Monetization

There is a proposal to make Web Monetization a web standard. In the meantime this is a method for making it a possible reality.
The web monetization standard is a proposal to help generate income for content creators through micro transactions. Users load up an account with funds, and then as they browse the web they get prompted to give a small amount to content creators who have opted into the process.
The whole thing is private. Content creators do not know who has tipped them
- Sign up for an account on Coil (more platforms will be available in the future).
- Enable Web Monetization in the Toolbelt settings.
- 'Start Creating' on Coil, and sign up for a payment service (I used XRPTipBot) and then grab your 'payment pointer' value. Enter the pointer in the module settings.
- Install the Coil browser plugin (for Chrome and Firefox). If this becomes a standard it will get built into your browser.
- Profit!
You should also consider signing up to pay other creators. You subscribe for a small amount and then the funds get distributed amongst the sites you visit.
Toolbelt is built by Ben from Pro Theme Design.
