As a user of TiddlyWiki and a newcomer of the TW-group I found this interesting discussion of micro payment development. As an alternative to blockchain, why not have a look at holochain <https://medium.com/holochain/scaling-cryptocurrencies-holo-chain-3c1745a59cc5>. As I understand it holochain will provide the features you are looking for.
