Title: BitCoin MicroPayment ToolBar (Idea)
Post by: dsp on August 07, 2011, 03:47:42 PM
Each time you view a web page the url is sent to a central server. If your donation wallet has funds then the wallet will automatically deduct the number of user defined micro coins.

The tool bar would also allow you to see if your wallet has an available balance and allow you cancel a donation for crappy spam sites. The Tool bar would also idealy show the address to fund the tool bar. The domain owners coins would be stored as a bounty balance for sites that don't use bitcoin yet. No need for the website to signup can as they just put a file in the root of their website called BTC.txt. This file would contain the address that the tool bar spider will send coins too. The spider would check for this file once a day or when someone requests payment for xyzdomain.com.

A search engine could also be built off of this data allowing pages to be ranked by donations received, and then integrated into the search tool bar.

The service would charge a small fee to make some money and prevent websites from cycling too much money to their own sites.

Does this idea require people to trust a third party with their bitcoin, like people trusted mybitcoin.com?

I guess so but the idea would be trivial amounts. Maybe only fun you wallet with up too 1-5 BTC. And make it transparent.

People actually use Toolbars?   I thought only companies that want to track users and their activities like Toolbars.

Chrome only uses buttons.
