Too Long; Didn't Read

Further, we’ve also added a fascinating feature: the ability for the system to watch you as you watch the video. Because we need to ensure you’re watching these videos to collect your cash we’ve created a component that watches your face (and assesses your emotions) as you watch the video.

The system pays out in BTC and accepts BTC to post videos. This is because there is no sane way to accept micropayments in USD or any other fiat currency.

HypeHop is an experiment. I understand there are ways to game this system and we’re working on securing it further. We also understand crypto folks don’t like surveillance. That’s fine, we encourage them to avoid this service. The world is rapidly changing and our privacy is being stolen from us on a daily basis. At least, in this case, we pay your for it.

So please give it a try. I’d love to hear what you think so email [email protected] if you have any comments or questions.
