Make it $.01 and you might actually have a good idea on your hands. Big enough to matter given the thousands of users, small enough for the average user not to care.

The hard part is running a secure and private payment system on top of this.

It would need to be on a credit system. $0.01 is going to get eaten up in processing. It would be extra funny to buy 100 fucks for a dollar though.

I’d drop $5 just to get ready for game day threads. Fuck the Habs

Bitcoin lightning network has entered the chat

Feels like sarcasm, but I can't tell.

Nope. I'm no expert, but lightning network fees get down to something like $0.0003 and transactions are instant, it would be great for this sort of thing.
