that's why i said it rules out micropayments
At current bitcoin prices, the minimum value of bitcoin that can be transferred THROUGH THE BITCOIN CLIENT without attracting penalty transfer is 0.01BTC x 16.89US$ = 0.169US$. I don't know what is the price of a printed newspaper in your parts of the world, but if I had to transfer 0.169US$ of bitcoins to a publishing provider and only the values of articles I read, get subtracted from the 0.169US$ worth of bitcoins in balance, I would be pleased. Let's say I read two articles in today's edition, each subtracting 0.001btc (or maybe even less for some items) from my 0.01btc credit balance - I would still have 0.008btc left with the publishing provider without any transfer penalties incurred. Tomorrow or in future I can use the remaining balance at this publishing provider without incurring any transfer penalties.
Also the same goes with any micro service/goods provider with an account on mybitcoin.com for example. No transfer penalties for micro transfers between accounts of all mybitcoin.com users.
edit, let me ask, are you saying that transaction fees are not required if oyu want to cash out of BTC right after receiving a payment, and you wish to do this 100s of times a day?
I think you do.
That's right, if you transfer more than 0.01btc there is no compulsory fee through the bitcoin client, and if you sell/buy bitcoins through free market places like bitomat there are no commissions involved in selling/buying bitcoins. If you keep your credit in your bitomat account there is also no fee, only a traditional bank transfer fee when you withdraw script/promissory note fiat currency, not when you transfer bitcoin digital goods (digital goods commodity used as currency) in / out.
