What is Micropay?

Micropay offers a pay-as-you-go solution for using OpenAI's Dalle-2, enabling users to purchase generation credits one at a time rather than prepaying for bulk credits. This system leverages the Lightning Network for transactions, requiring users to have Cash App, Strike, or any lightning-enabled wallet to pay the invoices. However, please note that the Dalle-2 Image Generator has been deprecated. Users are encouraged to follow the creators on Twitter for updates and explore free non-Dalle image generation options available on the platform.
