BitMonet: BitPay’s Newest Merchant

Today, BitPay Inc. announced a new partnership with BitMonet. BitMonet’s partnership with BitPay will permit customers to monetize content with bitcoin micropayments.

As a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, Bitcoin paves the way for micropayments over the Internet. International payments are also more feasible. BitMonet provides publishers with a monetization tool for digital content. BitMonet was started in 2013 by Ankur Nandwani and Valerie Chao and is free and easy to install, allowing publishers to sell individual content a-la-carte, or through time-metered access. Through BitMonet, publishers can bring in greater returns than traditional advertising. For example, even at a price point of 1 cent per […]
