A micro-payment system so readers could contribute real money to an author as the ultimate sign of approval.

Witcoin.com is especially relevant since it is a micro-payment oriented news aggregator site using Bitcoin. I've used it. It's not too great (low traffic, lowbrow content), but it demonstrates that the concept isn't too terrible.

Like Flattr, or did you have something else in mind?

I've never used Flattr but from a brief reading of their webpage it seems what I had in mind.

Upvoted, this would also encourage people to contribute (lower the threshold of actually beginning to write a post).
