Only Pay while stream?

[SamuelEVicente]

I hope this is the correct place to post this question. At Musicoin we offer users to stream music and pay the content creator immediately with smart contracts. We are looking into web monetization, we are wondering whether it’s possible to only make the user pay while streaming?

Hi @SamuelEVicente .

That is possible by dynamically inserting/removing the creators Payment Pointer only when the user is actually streaming the music. There is actually an example of this https://gfdgvrj.dlvr.cloud/. Though that example pays the platform when music is not being streamed. But that could easily be changed to no payments at all.

It's fine, but you'll get more eyeballs beyond code monkeys @ this repo, where the spec is developed: https://github.com/interledger/webmonetization.org

@matdehaast Awesome, thank you for the reference.
