Post by: Nostoman on June 10, 2020, 04:43:12 PM
Hacker Noon’s 4 million monthly readers are about to get a taste of crypto-powered micro-tipping firsthand.

The tech publication has closed a $1 million strategic investment from micropayments firm Coil, a blockchain-agnostic product built on the Interledger protocol and headed by former Ripple CTO Stefan Thomas.

The terms include a three-year partnership between the Colorado and San Francisco-based firms, including the use of Coil’s Web Monetization technology.

“Avoiding something like a paywall with a microtransaction is extremely valuable,” Hacker Noon founder and CEO David Smooke in a phone interview with CoinDesk.
