| Sounds like the above 2 ideas should be combined.
Lightning payments are more or less free, and an index or tracker that looks at your bash history could make it possible to spread 5$ per month over all projects that you use. |

| Sounds like we need an open source index fund where you can make one payment that goes into a pool of money which is invested into the top 1000 open source projects. |

| It almost seems like someone ought to be able to build some kind of digital currency with low transaction fees and no centralized payment processor that could power microtransactions. I wonder why nobody has done that yet. |
