Pardon for not being entirely enthusiastic; I just don't like the idea that
the seller app "owns" the payment GUI regardless if it is $10 000 or just a dime.

If there's a pay-to-view-URL (sounds like a typical XXX-site thing
[No, I'm not supposed to know that :-)]), shouldn't it have a price tag?

Then of course I have my usual questions like: how do you authenticate to
your BTC (wallet?).
