I was surprised to learn Bitcoin is not really for micro payments. The fee right now is .0005 which is 6 cents.
That would be ~ 50 cents if the price got to $1000

Are there any ideas how to 1) add another layer to bitcoin , to allow for micropayments (perhaps a 2nd network)
or 2) an altoghter different coin, that is only used for penny-sized transactions?
