From my experience, it seems that any service that offers cryptocurrency payments seems to always set them up as a one time purchase that you manually must renew periodically. Is there any standard that exists, or is in the works that supports recurring payments to a service directly from a wallet?
Yeah well, that’s not that hard, if you’ve got a computer that’s running 24/7 and has access to a node, a CLI wallet that can sign transactions for you. I’m sure there’s some bots like this out there on github or something if you search for them. The real trouble there is, most vendors have very specific requirements to know who made the payment, like including an invoice number in tx_extra, or a side channel message with a tx number in it, stuff like that, a one size fits all not might not work.
