[Cryptography] Is it time for a revolution to replace TLS?

[Bear]

Purely aside from technical issues about micropayments, it was always 
my impression that micropayments as a method of doing business failed, 
not because of any implementation or security barriers but rather 
because people loathe them.

Purely aside from the decision that it *is* worth 20¢ to listen 
to an Aerosmith album, it is stressful to people to have to *make* 
the decision.  Money decisions are stressful regardless of the 
amount under consideration.  When the amount under consideration 
is too small to justify the stress, people justifiably resent 
being forced to make a money decision.

When you embrace a model that subjects people to stress every 
twenty seconds, they will never relax and enjoy the experience.  
And they're going to go off and do something they enjoy.  
Somewhere else.
