Topic: [ANN] SatoshiBox.com - platform for selling files for bitcoins - page 4. (Read 14127 times)

I'd be interested in seeing an optional login system for uploaders.  You can upload anonymously (as you currently can) or you can upload with an account.  The account itself should have minimal info requirement for signup for privacy sake: just a username and a password, no email address.  Should the site become compromised somehow, there will be minimal information on-hand about a user.  The most they'll get are 1) username, 2) files uploaded, 3) payment address.  No email, no personally identifiable information.

When you upload with an account, you should have the option to have your username displayed and optionally, the BTC address where coins will be sent.  That way, reputable individuals can gain trust.  I'd be much more likely to buy something from Satoshibox if 1) I know who the seller is and 2) I can verify which address the coins will be sent to.
For example, (completely hypothetically) if I see a file called "NineInchNails_Discogrophy.zip", I wouldn't download it unless it's free.  I have no way to get a refund in the case that's it's just a zip file full of cat pictures.  It's just simply too risky to spend coins on.  If I see the same file, uploaded by Trent Reznor and the BTC addresses matches the BTC address on his website, I'd be much more likely to 1) trust the file and more importantly 2) have some means of verifying who the uploader is and that they uploaded it themselves.  Worst case scenario, the zip file is full of cat pictures and Trent Reznor got some bitcoins, not some random scammer.

Lastly, having an uploader account would allow for better customer support between the sellers and the buyers.  Sellers should/could be able to see a log of transaction IDs of when their uploads were purchased.  If somebody wants a refund or disputes a download, the seller can verify that they actually brought the product without revealing who the buyer was.


Just my $0.02

Nice project.

Here's an omission:


Also for later, you might consider showing some stats on each file, or a rating from people who have paid for it.

This might help people stop downloading questionable items such as "Primecoin GPU Miner".

One more thing. You say:


Yet you use a .com domain name, which can easily be taken away. I hope you're ready with an alternative like .sx

We can not do refunds because bitcoins are send directly to uploader. It's up to you if you trust web/forum/person who spread the link

What if you want a refund? I'm interested in these 2

Primercoin Miner

Hmmm, what part exactly do you want? Its php+mongodb application working with bitcoind through api

Will any of the source code be posted?  A bit of transparency when coins are changing hands is always a good thing.

Hmm, so how do you like the service? I am eager to add new features if it will find users

no im not download that...

Lol, nice try.

WOW! some isseling GPUminer for a Primecoin XPM ! Cool! http://satoshibox.com/52149ca84c347bfd31000000
