Micropayments on the web without users having to create an account. For example paying a few cents for reading a news article, without an account on the news site and without the high fees for a payment processor. (Via Lightning Network)

Example news site: https://yalls.org Example browser extension for great UX: https://github.com/wbobeirne/joule-extension

Or even nanopayments for single API calls, between the browser and a server or between servers.

Example pay-per-call web service / API: https://lightning.ws (disclaimer: my project, based on another project by me: https://github.com/philippgille/ln-paywall)
