I talked about this in a daily beemail and got some interesting feedback. Excerpts:

1. Wanted: a way to be charged $5 for every incomplete item in Todoist at the end of the day. (Maybe they just want [TaskRatchet](https://taskratchet.com)?)
2. Someone who’s intrigued about this as a way for their kids to use Beeminder, since $5 is too much to have at stake for a kid.
3. “Yes – but I would also want to be able to schedule a bigger sting if I constantly went over a certain number of data points. Else I’d be afraid I wouldn’t be discouraged enough – ‘oh, it’s just 25 cents’ – each time. So like maybe a 2nd goal that derails if goal 1 hits a certain count within a certain time period.” (😍 [meta-beeminding](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/beemind-batchiness-not-urgency/12219) is always the answer)
4. “Yes, my use cases mostly depend on at least starting at sub-dollar charges”
