Very cool. Hopefully, they'll be more successful than Flattr.


I hope to see something that is is more successful than Flattr.

At 25 cents plus 5% per transaction, Gumroad isn't really addressing micropayments at all.


Totally different model, as a side note Flattr (died/failed/didn't succeed) due to absolutely terrible product marketing and doing ludicrous things like an invite-only beta. They had a huge chance and screwed it up, from what Sahil has done so far I don't think he'll make the same mistakes, he doesn't seem so short sighted.
