how about some kind of mechanism that encrypts the whole shebang on the fly?

also - yes porn or illegal stuff, what do you think BitCoin is for? server needs to be hosted in some backwater country w/o copyright laws^^

Theoretically, it is possible, but I don't think it will help from the legal point of view.

I am not a lawyer, I don't know if saying "we have no idea what our customers are selling, so we can't be held responsible", would save the server from any troubles.

Indeed, the server must be in some backwater country...

Not so sure, though, that I'd like to be involved in this Smiley

Also, obviously, no illegal content or porn, otherwise the hosting company will just shutdown the server.

I see. So you need something closer to depositfiles.com than to itunes.

On one hand - it's easier to implement, on the other hand, your customer will have to wait for an hour before transaction is confirmed.

Also, obviously, no illegal content or porn, otherwise the hosting company will just shutdown the server.

Anyone else would be interested in this kind of service?

I'd like to be reasonably sure that there will be people using it before I start investing into it Smiley

nope.
It'd be awesome if someone could start this service again with, say, 1G limit per upload.

1 Gb?! What do you plan to sell, movies? Smiley

So can somebody combine a feature list for this? I am looking for a project to do.

Do you need a site that just shows you a Bitcoin address, waits an hour for confirmation and then allows to download a file, or more like iTunes, where the customer puts some coins into his account and then is able to purchase smaller files (like songs) instantly?

if you're interested and are proficient with wordpress, I might have something for you. PM me!

as far as this here goes:

from a providers' side:
- upload something to the service
- specify a price
- get paid every X BTC in my wallet minus a fee
- the thing should be deleted once noone has d/l'd it for X months (might affect the fee, maybe?)


from buyers side:
- goto link
- send BTC to adress displayed
- some randomly generated PW which is good for 24h
-- alternatively: IP is recognized, download is enabled for that IP for 24h
- download

i think a serial option would be good too. just import a list of all possible serials, or a formula that is used to make the serials. then downloadcoin dispenses 1 key per buy.

The site has been up for just over a day and so far the users have made a combined total of 1.1097 BTC. Most of that appears to be people just checking it out, several Linux distributions have been uploaded to the server now Grin

You should implement a directory service option. So users can browse content that can be purchased.
