Isn't it time the white paper was copyrighted and 'cleansed'? Make it pay per view too. I think it's becoming an annoyance for higher minds than us.

Along with satoshi saying bitcoin is not suitable for micropayments perhaps Tongue

Bitcoin isn't currently practical for very small micropayments.  Not for things like pay per search or per page view without an aggregating mechanism, not things needing to pay less than 0.01.  The dust spam limit is a first try at intentionally trying to prevent overly small micropayments like that.

Bitcoin is practical for smaller transactions than are practical with existing payment methods.  Small enough to include what you might call the top of the micropayment range.  But it doesn't claim to be practical for arbitrarily small micropayments.
