No, the micropayments will be on-chain! Precisely the reason that this system uses zencoin instead of bitcoin or othercoin is because it will require a chain specifically oriented toward facilitating continual micro-payments for accounted resource.
Hi HunterMinerCrafter!
Your connection to this coin makes me have more confidence on it, however I see lots of aspects that are not yet clear and still undefined. I still wouldn't put my money on it.
See this:
8. The micropayments algorithm assures a frictionless (no fee, off-chain) transfer of coins every few seconds or even less.
Another concern is how would the reputation system work.
Best regards!
