Currently:

• Assuming you already are a consumer so you have:
  • a Coil account
  • a Coil browser extension
• For being a creator you need to:
  • add you payment pointer to your content
  • open an Uphold (or GateHub?) account to cash out

More precisely, when you click 'become a creator' in a consumer-only Coil account, it says:

• pick avatar and username
• "You'll need a wallet to receive your payments" (Uphold /GateHub)
• You will then get a payment pointer at for instance Uphold, see https://help.coil.com/docs/monetize/wallets/uphold/ for screenshots.
• You would add this uphold-hosted payment pointer in your profile doc
• Now you can add acl:PayingAgent rules in your ACL docs, and
• if you host html content on your pod then you would additionally add meta tags into the headers of those (we could even automate this so NSS inserts those on the fly)

If you don't have a payment pointer configured, then other Solid OS users will just donate to you using https://github.com/ledgerloops/snap-solid. So then:

• NSS should provide two Pay headers, one for interledger-stream and one for ledgerloops-snap. For the second one you would need a http URL to POST snap messages to (starting with protocol version negotiation and p2p channel bootstrap) and maybe also add a shared secret at this point.
• MoneyPane should ACK incoming proposals when it sees them
