Comment on Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring

But beyond that many dislike crypto for gas cost and same for AI so strapping them together is way less palatable.

It’s just used as a means of payment for very small amounts, even less than a single cent if you calculate in dollars.
Sure you can; I certainly can’t, lacking the equipment, and the investment would be much higher than any return on it.
Nano, as I said, has no fees, and there’s no miners, it’s quite ecologically friendly. It does have other challenges (for example only being pseudonymous and fully traceable, plus fighting spam is an ongoing battle, no standard way of association a payment with an invoice). But I always liked its premise and it does make sense for such cases for me.

So if I made a confident AI and hosted it on a website you could visit, you buy my tokens $5 for 5 tokens, responses priced at .01 tokens. Essentially its very cheap.
Would you be as likely to use this service?

I mean if it’s competitive, why not?
The thing is it’s unlikely you’d find a payment provider making this viable. For example, PayPal charges 49 US cents as a minimum fee, or 39 Eurocents. Even just credit card companies charge 5 cents fixed, so cheap payment processors will charge you about 10 cents per transaction plus variable rates and possibly a monthly fee.

True but these companies are gate keeper that also work with fiet to crypto so its just moving the issue. If I want to convert my British pounds I will be charged even if I sent it physically. How do you buy nano coin?
