Using crypto in practice: borderless (micro)payments for translation services

Cool real usecase of crypto:

The Nano Foundation teamed up with FynCom to bring automated microtransactions to the language localisation industry. Practically, this means that translators can translate articles about Nano (starting with the beginner's guide) and be paid per word they translate. Other people serve as approvers, and are also paid per word.

So far it's French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Nowegian, Indonesian and Nigerian Pidgin, though I think more languages might already have been added.

Translators are paid out per word, could translate just a few words and already get paid. Because it's Nano, transactions have $0 fees and are instant. To read more about it or start translating yourself, there's more info here.

Thought this was really cool to see – with all the speculation and scams in the industry this is a pretty clear example of where crypto can add value. Right now it's used for translating articles about Nano, but it's quite easy to imagine using this to translate any article, or game, or anything really, and get paid out in crypto instantly.
