Are we going to see all search engines adopting this model? Will this be the future of search engine revenue? May end up more pro-consumer than ads and tracking.

This may be the least stupid use of the block chain I've ever heard of. Mind you Visa could have implemented this when everyone first asked back in 1999, but hey here we are. Rather than micro payments instead we let ads do their best to ruin western civilization.
