Funny indeed. But, aside from the stupid spam promo that no one will
use in their right mind, how do you actually RECEIVE $1 on the Net? I
mean, short of someone actually writing you a personal check for a
buck? Any transaction system I know will leave you with just about 50
cents or less making such tiny transactions a nuisance.

I have an applications for these small transactions but cannot find a
system that can handle them without decimating the payout.

Does anyone have any idea?

Sadly no. Or maybe I am happy about it. I've heard "micropayments" for
years, but it's not here AFIAK. Happy, because it might mean that a lot
of sites will ask for 0.10 USD or so to read a page. With 10,000
visitors a site can make 1,000 USD/day that way. But it would also mean
that one day on the Internet will cost one 20-30 USD or so (well, in my
case).

I would be glad to pay 20-30 $ per day if i would make 1,000 $ a day
that way. :)

Heck i would even pay 500 $.

Yes, you and I would love that. But how about the other people who don't
have a website with 10,000 visitors/day to start with. But I am afraid
stuff like this is going to happen as soon as micropayments happen. The
net, like the real world, will be split in two: people who can, and people
wo can't afford good information.
