Does DEV receive a percentage of these micro-transactions? Or are these micro-transactions sent in their entirety to the creator of the post / article?

Nope, 100% direct to creator. Coil, or other providers might have to charge a credit card transaction depending on how you fund your account (not micropayments, but the initial funding), but DEV has no part in this except helping folks publish their pointer.

We will put our own pointer on other parts of the site where no user pointer exists, and to the extent we make money in this system it will be that way.

Awesome! One last question: Will Dev implement "premium" functionality for users using the website with Coil or with any other provider?
