What is the motivation behind this feature request? Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Coupling individual payments with retrievals.

Describe the solution you'd like

A boost client making a retrieval request can embed a payment voucher directly into the request body - tightly coupling the individual payment with the retrieval.

MVP: Boost server should

This improves the "accounting" for the boost server over current state (essentially: serve requests if the requester has ever paid anything).

Later:

  • boost server should have a fee schedule of some sort, and be able to selective honour requests only if they cover the set fee

edit: missed the "open a blank issue" option. Haha.
