Use some type of cryptocurrency for payments, or maybe a unified interface to different cryptocurrencies.

Or maybe you can come up with something similar to a cryptocurrency that integrates with your data structure and has core things like digital signatures for secure transactions and public distributed ledger(s). It seems like there could be a way to adapt some underlying features of ScrapScript for this stuff. Maybe as part of the "lab" thing.

Just don't call it a cryptocurrency. Lol.

Why inject money into everything? I don't remember the cheap web being focused on micro transactions and ponzi schemes. That's the opposite of what the author (and many others) want.

Exactly. Throw "cryptocurrency" into anything you want to spoil and witness the dynamics of greed ruin the fruits of your labour.
