I’m actually working on a blockchain solution that can handle payments automatically in a verifiable manner, so not too worried about the management piece. At this point, I am exploring various options for payment structures.

I completely understand wanting to keep your name on the article. That’s actually the use case I envision. So let’s say there is a publication that paid you $25 in exchange for your article and 50% of the proceeds. You wouldn’t be the person who officially posted the article on Medium (let’s say that would be a publication account), but your bio would be linked at the bottom.

Would love to get your thoughts on this idea.
