So… What are you doing?
Are you going to be taking a coinhive-esque approach and make users donate cpu power to download an image?
Are you going to use an image format or embed code that pays out tokens from visitors of 3rd party sites when the image is viewed?
Are you going to reward creators by giving them some sort of coin when their image is downloaded?
Are you going to prioritize traffic on your api and have large consumers of data pay with a token?
Is this only for the services that are hitting you api hard, or will this impact the once in a while downloader as well?
Something else? All of the above?
Or am I totally missing the point here. This is super vague and seems like a blockchain-as-a-buzzword article. I can see how you could use it, but just tell us how.
