Thanks for that Golden Ticket! I need to learn how to use those next :)
Only idea I could think of is including a BTC or ETH with the story. More complicated for you to determine times of payouts, calculate the payment, convert to the other cryptocurrency, etc...
Actually.. I would chip in on a bounty to pay a programmer to write a smart contract for this purpose. Basically a smart contract that would tie to a specific article posted with an ETH address tied to the article. It could handle the payouts automatically and adjust payouts based on customized parameters.
At least I assume its possible based on my baseline understanding ... :)
just wait. a marketplace is coming to Steemit. I personally don't have any interest now in dealing with ETH. This system I think will be more intelligently designed. Hey but I like the idea of getting help with this thing. The possibilities of reading unfiltered stuff is sooooo exciting. It's like getting inside someone else's brain (something I've always wanted).
