6 years ago So, we have made some small but important steps forward recently on this, with the wonderful "Leave a Tip" contributed by @iSasFTW
But there's a long way to go towards creating a system where anyone can set their own price for viewers to watch the content they are streaming.
This isn't only about premium content, it's about enabling content creators to get a fair share of value from viewers.
So... let's take some more steps in this direction:
A very popular request is a simple streaming DApp, where you can charge for the content by the second/minute. A viewer would issue micropayments via a payment channel, that would be closed upon completion of viewing the stream.
Inspiration from this comes from projects like Streamium. More recently, bigger projects like StreamToken and Spankchain are trying to create an ecosystem around this, but a small proof of concept DApp would be very powerful here.
