No, I'm looking at it now. It looks like a nice way to reward
*presences* on the internet. I'm guessing it's like ko-fi.com in some
ways.

What Jaron Lanier was talking about was a micropayment system where you
could compensate content on the web, in payments of fraction of cents to
sub-dollar amounts on a one-time basis to content creators in an
unstructured way - imagine seeing a relevant post on Linkedin and having
the like button transfer 10 cents to the author. readers forward and
share the content. Scale takes care of the rest.
