Topic: bittit - Sell your pictures for Bitcoins (Read 14621 times)

Does anyone here has the positove experience with this site, that he has acctualy sold something? Or maybe some similar site that could be recommended?

I haven't yet, doesn't look like my pictures has gotten processed yet, seems like the owner does it manually and in waves, I sent mine in on January 29th and still hasn't shown up on the website.
Oh well, I guess it will show up when he gets to it

This is looking good!
Did you sell any of pictures yet?

Is this site still alive and people still use it? I uploaded some pictures I took back a few years ago when I was at the beach

How about adding a interactive chat option, where the people can motivate each other to make more donations. Some encouragement is needed for some people to get quicker results. There will always be the hero account guy, who will splash a lot of dough to get some attention. ^smile^

You might also consider some sort of off-chain service provider with instant transaction confirmation for the people who simply cannot wait. You cannot in this day and age expect people to wait for 6 confirmations before they get satisfaction and value for their money.

The people using these services will be the premium users and they will be in the express queue. You could use these service to validate the contributors, because most of these services have their own validation requirements. 

Happy new year! LMAO
Any updates on this thread and site?
I've been having the darndest time uploading and sending verification image for the models approval.

I tried to upload a picture in there but the "picture"-text turned red and it didn't give any information about it. The picture was right sized and I own it. Did it go to verification or did it get rejected?

If I put a picture there how probably will I get paid. And how many users are there approximately.

The site is active although I usually process/approve pictures and files in big batches because I don't always have the time. :-) I'll respond to your PM in a moment.

Guys i must have i just came across this sight and i upload 3 photos to test it.
I have a lot of photos HQ some of them 4000 pixels or more.
They are all my work, I was going to ask how much do you think i should price them, i put o.1 btc for those 3 but idk.
If there is someone on this topic left please answer or i shall consider starting a new topic.

Cheers.

Oh ok, thanks for that info.  I didn't want to pay 9btc to be fooled, so just wondering what measures were in place.  I assumed that someone could review them as well, but thought I'd ask on that one specifically since it looked so much like the Bigfoot pic of years past.

Specifically for that photo, it says in the description (Not on the public domain) because it's a game photo and not one that is actually sold. The game was here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guess-the-picture-and-win-btc-round-3-51897 There are a few photos like this one on bittit and they are all marked as not on the public domain.

If you see the photo available on Google image search (bittit provides direct links to google image search and tineye search for that reason) then probably the image is not on the public domain. I check the high resolution versions myself before approving them but there is always the chance that a picture will on the internet later than its upload. If you find a higher resolution elsewhere then either the uploader uploaded the high res elsewhere (which I doubt since he/she was selling it in the first place) or the uploader doesn't own that photo and he/she just uploaded it to bittit before it got shared elsewhere on the internet.

Other than that you can trust the red border pictures more because their uploader has been verified, meaning I've mailed them a code using certified mail and the verified that they got that code. So I at least know a street address that they can be found there. It's not foolproof but again many stock photo sites just ask for a ID card scan which can be easily photoshopped.

This photo appears to be that famous Bigfoot photo...

Here's the pic small, but hi-res: https://bittit.info/showImage.php?address=19W1f8zKpAzfi8GRqa66TK3d6ZPiv4e87j

Here's the photo I found off Google:  http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e6M7O2p9bEg/TMEadZo9m7I/AAAAAAAAAEA/ubukoQwMc6s/s1600/sasquatch.jpg
 
They're asking 9btc for hi-res... is there any sort of reviewing to determine if these are legitimate photos or not?  (as in not owned by someone else)

Damn the frontpage contain alot of pussies, er.. I mean kitties

Bittit now supports and forces https. All links to bittit should continue to work though and I believe they will be automatically translated to https links.

Just a straight forward auto approve code will do nicely as it'll let creatives like myself get the best from your site and selling my wares on there.

Film2240 what kind of verification are you talking about exactly? I was talking about free full verification but if you need just an autoapprove code we can arrange that too.

I'd like to get back to you on the free (basic) verify status for the SFW section only due to what was discussed on another thread.

You can now sort pictures by BTC left to be paid (cheapest first). This sorting can be turned on and off from the topbar. Thanks to jesset for the suggestion.

Oh if anyone wants free verification just tell me. The guys that won the contest still haven't answered so...

I decided to do a little contest on bittit. Whoever uploads the nicest photo (or any picture) in the next 2 days* will win a free full verification (which normally costs 5 euros).

Rules:
1. All bittit rules and ToS apply: notably the photo must be unpublished and you must own the copyright.
2. NSFW photos are not allowed in the contest (although they are allowed on bittit)
3. When I say the nicest photo, I mean the nicest in my opinion (although I'll probably ask a few friends first). Nice doesn't mean that it must frame something beautiful. A photo of a beggar could be nice although it displays something sad, etc...
4. To get fully verified I will send you two upload codes by registered mail. That means I have to know your real name and address. If you are not fine with that then don't take part in the contest (but you are free to upload you pictures of course).
5. Don't forget to put you email in the corresponding field while uploading or I won't be able to contact you. If you don't want to put an email then just put something like "reddit: username" or "bitcointalk: username" and I'll contact you there.
6. You can upload as many as you want.

That's all. Start uploading!

*lets say it ends at Sunday 17 Feb 12:00GMT.

PS: blockexplorer is down so bittit might have problems too showing some pictures or uploading files.

I think the amount of available ad space outweighs the demand. There are probably a lot of other, psychological factors that should be taken into account, as well. I'm still baffled as to why the ad I have on BitBrew in the sidebar, unobtrusively near the bottom of the page, gets higher and more frequent bids than the banner ad I have in the header of The Bitcoin List, which also gets at least 2 - 3 times as many page views in a day.

So... I don't know if his is the place to ask but it's kinda about bittit so I'll ask.

It looks like the ad place in bittit is really underpaid. I rarely get more than one ad bid so I practically don't get paid for the ad in it. I would prefer not to set up a minimum fee and instead rely on people to decide the price for the ad. But why isn't that happening?

I got the same problem with the ad on my blog. Before some time I had an ad that paid really well but now the price I get is 1BTC/55000 views.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Are there other places or ways on here for selling multiple stock photos that I've taken? What is typically the going rate for a stock photo in BTC? As I have a few photos that I wish to sell soon. Thanks.

Good luck!

I will think about how something like that can implemented without interfering with the main purpose of the site which is to sell pictures on the public domain. BTW the first uses I thought about bittit was /r/gonewild pictures and webcomics. :-D

It makes a lot of sense for webcomics. And I even provide hotlinks to the images so it's trivial for someone to use them in his blog or comic site. And then place the bitcoin address below.

.

This could include paying someone people already know they want to see more. For example make exclusive contracts with porn stars with a lot of fans, and then make this the only way these select exclusive pics could ever be seen.
[/quote]
I don't really want to force good quality or trusted only pictures TBH. I'd prefer to keep the market open for everyone. But the idea of bringing content from famous people themselves is very good. There is already a way to get validated so perhaps I could offer more promotion to validated users by putting up a list of their albums in the front page. I will that ASAP and then try to find someone to list their photos.
Do you mean that the buy out option would be a higher price than the normal price, or lower? Or whatever the seller wants?

I like the buyout idea and my only objection is that it goes beyond the aims of bittit which is to provide a market that needs no copyright laws to work. Putting a buyout option needs laws in order to have a meaning. But that's not a serious objection so I will consider adding something like that.

Another problem with buyout is that some people might have chipped in already and now they will not be able to get any more of the picture. It might scare some people off chipping in because they might anytime loose the chance to actually get the picture on the public domain. So why would they chip in to get a low res version of the picture and then someone else prohibits them from getting anything better than that? I can see many annoying scenarios with that and I'll have to think of a way to counter them first. Else I'd be just making yet another photo selling site. 

Nice idea, poor execution is my view on this.

You could also sell copyright licenses for the pictures this way.

If someone uploads a copyrighted picture then DMCA will probably give me an early warning and not a direct lawsuit. I can't check about Facebook pictures probably but I think the combination of Google and Tineye rules out most of the private subscription pix as they are usually riped and spread all over the internet. BTW I forgot the most important one: I require validation from someone that uploads nudes or porn. It's not 100% foolproof but it's the best I can do. (more info about validation can be found in the help pages of bittit or you may ask and I'll give the details here).

I'm mostly using Chrome and Firefox and they both seem to have no problems. Every now and then I try the site with IE9 and last time I checked I saw some minor problems, like bitcoin addresses running one or two characters our of the picture boxes. Usually fixing things for every version of IE takes more time than making the site in the first place so I put my efforts into being standards compliant, then making the site usable in IE and then I spend the rest of my time making something new for the site instead of polishing it for every version of IE. It just takes to much time to be worth it. Nevertheless if you tell me which OS and browser you used when you saw those problems I might be able to fix them. Also which pictures exhibit them should help too. :-)
I like simple designs too but I think the site is already way below the average visual complexity of all websites. The background is very simple and it's practically the only picture in the site, the shadows don't look like clutter to most people (actually I really fancy them) but I agree that the horizontal lines may go. I probably put them there to line up the left with the right column and to make it easier to see what is opposite of what. I'll remove them tomorrow and see how it is. Now is by "simplicity" you mean "craig-list-simplicity" then I don't think I like it. Unless you only meant I should remove the white boxes around the links.
Why not? Also what resolution is your screen? I'm thinking about grouping some of the legal stuff of the topbar into one but I don't know if the laws in the USA require those links to be individually visible.
I will try remove what I can from the layout. :-)

How do you do it with pix? I mean people could stream their pron subscription to your site and as long as you don't have such a subscription you would have no way of telling if this is all private pix or owned by someone as long as someone doesn't file a DMCA against you.
Besides it doesn't have to be pron. It could also be private pictures from facebook.
In your best interest you should either go underground yourself or require your users to register and remove all unregistered content.

I haven't read this entire thread so please excuse me if it's already been said but...

This site has some layout issues for me. I get photos popping out of their boxes, disclaimer text that seems to run over other copies of itself as well as Links popping under the next item's box.

I'm a big fan of simple, uncluttered design and I think you would do well to actually remove any unnecessary visual elements: the cloudy wallpaper, the shadows, the boxes, and the horizontal lines in the info for each post, hell while we're at it, just list the Links/tags as simple clickable words ala craigslist.

I also can't read the top right stuff in the menu bar.

I think your site is founded on an awesome idea and that anything that makes it easier for folks to sell their digital wares for Bitcoin is a huge plus. Reduce the clutter and you'll find people will feel comfortable spending more time, more BTC, and you'll probably get better content listed there as well.

I just made a few changes, the most important of which is that ALL kinds of files can be sold now.

It goes like this:

1. You upload, for example, your unpublished book. You set the starting size at 100 bytes. And the price to 20BTC.
2. The first 100 bytes of your book are now on the public domain for free.
3. People pay to read more. Bytes are linearly "revealed" while payments approach 20BTC.
4. Your book is fully published when you have gotten 20BTC.

The same system will probably work with mp3 files, most video files, tar files and any other file that makes sense to have the first X% of its data.

It's still BETA but you may give it a try. It's the second tab in the upload page. Max upload size is 60MB and as always you have to put original content (although this time it will be harder for me to check whether it's original or not).

Enjoy!

PS: I've written something about the reasons why I made bittit on my blog: http://www.inshame.com/2011/12/on-intellectual-property-also.html (I believe it's fine to give the link here)

PS2: I'll go to sleep now so whatever you upload will be approved in about 8 hours... ;-)

I could work although some users could could grief that system by reporting photos as stolen and delay payments.
But in any case I don't wan't to down that path. Currently payments go directly to the uploader. I don't want to change that as it would require me getting a much better VPS and also I just like the system as it is, without me getting between the transacting parties.

I'm leaning towards the 3rd solution. Sending PINs over registered mail. It's not the fastest way but I think it's pretty secure and professional photographers or graphic designers wouldn't have a problem with it, if they want to increase their trustworthiness.

Idea, try improve it:
They ( users ) have to upload X photo ( you chose the X number ), and all of them must be valid.
Users ( everyone ) must be able to report pictures.

If all of them are valid, then they will be able to withdraw bitcoins and their account will become verified.
They wont be able to withdraw anything before this.

Also I really need some feedback on something. I am thinking of adding validated acocunts so that people will know who to sue if the pictures aren't original. I am thinking of ways that one could validate his/her account. Validated accounts will be able to upload pictures that are marked as such (red border and a note probably).

 Currently I am thinking of these ways to validate:

1. One time minimal payment (like 0.5$) via Paypal. I don't like this because it involves paypal which can go **** *******.
2. The user could send me a registered mail to prove his identity but I just got informed that you can send registered mail without showing any ID so it provides zero authentication.
3. I could send a PIN with registered mail to someone (or even not registered?). That would prove that this is his/her address and name. To cover the costs I could ask for a few bitcents in advance.
4. I could send a PIN with SMS. This would only work in the retarded countries where you need ID to buy even a prepaid phone (like here in Greece). Again I could ask for a few bitcents in advance.
5. GPG signatures. It could work if we had a serious web of trust.

Any ideas? I'd really love to do this and be competitive to other stock photo marketplaces.

I was looking at istockphoto's terms. If I am not mistaken the only thing you have to do is this:

This can be cheated with some simple photoshopping I suppose but I don't know if someone would be able to receive money with a fake address. The bad thing is that with Bitcoins I can't do the same. One can receive money and photoshop his ID.

bittit is now in onionland too: http://etedojmrkv7ycxn4.onion
You obviously need to access this via Tor. (https://www.torproject.org/)

Visitors pay to increase the resolution for everyone.

So if you upload a photo and set the price to 5BTC, it will be shown at the maximum resolution when the total amount of BTC paid to the picture's address reaches 5BTC.

For example you upload a picture that is 2000x1000 pixels. You set the price to 5BTC and the initial resolution to 100 (which is the default).
Initially the picture's resolution will be 200x100 (0BTC paid)
For 2.5BTC paid the resolution will be 1100x550 (that is the smallest size will be halfway between 100 and 1000 just like 2.5BTC is halfway to 1BTC).
For 5BTC the resolution will reach 2000x1000.

Additionally the quality of the served JPG file will increase. In the end the quality setting will be 100% which is almost lossless.

I don't quite get it. Will the solution of the picture increase forever and everyone visiting the site or is it just for my web-session on your page?

RSS is available now and it's connected to our twitter account too.

We now have a twitter account where we will post new photos that we find interesting: bittit_btc
If it becomes overwhelming I will automate it.

Yeah blockexplorer. My own client would definitely be more efficient but my VPS can't handle it... :-/ I have about 175MB left to spare and that isn't enough for bitcoin unfortunately... Deslok had a nice idea that could bring the time down to 3 minutes +1 block time if it works. I could check every 3 minutes the block count and only scan for new payments when it changes. But AFAIK the block count updates faster than the addressreceived API stuff. So checking the addresses right after tha block count changed could yeild no results in some cases. Another idea is to examine every single block and add up the received bitcoins to known addresses. That would scale perfectly even if the site get's really big, its completelly non-abusive for blockexplorer but needs a good coding to make sure I don't miss any payments... In fact the handling for blockchain merges could be a bit tricky... Quite tricky actually... We'll see. First thing will be to let the uploader choose how many blocks he wants to wait for.

No need to read this if you are not interested in our quarrel:
I don't get offended but I found your comments ignorant and accusing. You said that I sale pictures on behalf of others while I don't. You suggested I should make the ToS less protective for me and at the same time open holes for doublespending. That would make me open to getting sued in case someone doublespends, is that your opinion? Your first message ("BTW you can test your setup. How about that? Stitch your own big picture and set your limits accordingly instead of letting people find out their picture ends up public domain without getting any BTC.") sounded pretty sarcastic to me, like I was your employee and I had to test everything so that you are happy with it. You can suggest whatever you want, but don't be sarcastic to me if you expect me to stay calm. And I am not a pro. I made a site that I liked and I really don't care if I don't make money from it although I think it's worth it.

As for the spam problem. I scan pictures with tineye and google. That helps me to rule out lots of pictures. If you manage to find unindexed pictures that don't have a website logo and upload them then the DMCA will protect me AFAIK. I host pictures that users upload so if one infringes their copyrights they can report it using the procedure described by DMCA laws and not sue me. And specifically for the nsfw section most pictures would require validation before getting approved (as described in the help section). If I have problems with Tor, I will block it.

I don't like when people react offended when they asked for opinion and there is the slightest chance the "offence" might not have been meant to be one. Actually a pro would not even react offended when he actually was. But to be honest, your service made me think a lot and I don't mind sharing my thoughts no matter what you think of it:
I guess you would need to require the poster of content to register as there is so much content you can find for resale that you will have a hard time blocking all this with tools like tineye. How would you prevent me from paying 9$ membership at some random porn site and upload all the HD content to your site for 10cBTC each? I can automate it and upload through tor. You get top content and people would visit your page but you will never get away once the random porn site sues you over sharing hundreds of their pictures.
Same with the non-porn section. You can find thousands of pictures in members only sections that can be uploaded automatically and you don't care about the source? Courageous I would say.

no need to shout at me
bitcoinexplorer? Do you mean blockexplorer? Normally it should be way more efficient to use a bitcoin client directly for that.

I DO NOT receive payments on behalf of anyone. The payments go directly to the seller. I just monitor the bitcoin network to see when the payment happens. And the delays are mostly because of the bitcoin network and I can do nothing to make it faster so get over it and read the help and ToS or don't use it. And no, I won't accept by default transactions before they are included in a valid block because no matter what my ToS says I don't want someone to loose let's say 20BTC in a double spend attack. The ToS is there to protect my ass and not to allow me to mess up with my users. I might make it a parameter though for the seller to choose the protection level he wants but still there will be a 0-10 minutes delay before I check the address on bitcoinexplorer.

I will add "and wait 30 minutes" to the instructions on the front page.

Stating that something is unacceptable is not necessarily aggressive. I evaluated your service and told you my result. I assume it will not be within the users expectations no matter what you write in any corner of your page. The main thing I see when I get to http://bittit.info/ is "To increase the resolution of this image send any amount of Bitcoins to its address."
Now you are selling content on behalf of (anonymous) users. These users will be after the money when they see the content got displayed in full resolution on your page. Some might even consider suing you over the missing payment in case they did not receive the money by the time the picture reached 100% but ToS5 even covers this. But change your perspective to the customer's side. These guys know bitcoin. When they pay a beer with bitcoin and their counterpart sees the transaction, they consider it done. They will not accept to wait for confirmations for a payment of 1BTC. You should definitely take this non-existant risk and show the content as soon as the transaction is visible on the network. At least for payments <10$. Anything beyond one confirmation is total overkill for payments <1000$. Especially when it is about buying things into the public domain, you will not deal with people running a big scale double spend attack, don't you think so? Where would they get their benefit out of that?

If it didn't work it wouldn't show a picture at all. But even if it just couldn't resize it and instead displayed it at full size, I would notice that during the approval phase... I will do some testing when I can though. I've got lots of things to test and add to it and no time to do them. Plus the other guy that wrote some of the code has got even less free time (it's the exam period).


It says in the help that it will take up to 30 minutes. If it took longer than that then there is probably a bug.
If it took less than 30 minutes then how do you define "acceptable"? I could wait for 6 blocks (since that is what is generally considered safe) which is more than an hour, and you think 30 min are unacceptable for you to wait to get a picture?

The cron job that checks bitcoinexplorer runs every ten minutes. Anything faster than that sounds a little abusing to me and I don't have the option to run my own bitcoin explorer.

Also why are you aggressive? It's a free to use service if you haven't noticed so if it makes you that angry just don't use it or politely ask me to fix it and be patient.

[EDIT] It can handle pictures up to 5000 x 5000. (at least)

Tried out your service and the delay is unacceptable. Not only do I not get full resolution pictures instantly after paying, I don't even get it after the transaction shows up in blockexplorer.

BTW you can test your setup. How about that? Stitch your own big picture and set your limits accordingly instead of letting people find out their picture ends up public domain without getting any BTC.

I was thinking about high quality scans of paintings. Maybe they could get decent prices.

Wow that is HUGE! I will increase the max upload size. Try again in 30 minutes form now. BTW the castle photo is amazing...

[EDIT] I changed my php.ini. I hope I changed the correct one cause I had like 4 of them... one for cgi one for cli etc... If it still errors drop me a pm or an email (email is on the site). BTW I don't know if the resizer can handle that big pictures. We'll see...

http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/3/31/128829619717840668.jpg

I just uploaded a pretty awesome panoramic photo of the Neuschwanstein Castle that I took in Germany.  I also have an amazingly high quality panoramic photo of South Lake Tahoe taken from the Heavenly Lookout, but it is 30MB and it keeps erroring out in the upload.  Any suggestions?

Well you ain't reading it the first time so you are taken back to the SFW section. I think it will be obvious that you don't see the NSFW because of the choices you made in the last 3 seconds so you'll get it right the second time when you will have to read what the dialog says.

I might put a whole page asking the user for confirmation but I ain't doing that now. :-) (also the confirmation box is much faster)

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. The only time I ever see them is some popup after I try to x out of it, so I wont click it. I'm not sure whats to understand. Maybe my aversion to websites generating dialogue boxes doesn't make technical sense?

New stuff:
1. Configurable initial resolution
2. Made a logo, sort of.
3. "Premium" codes for automatic approval are available.

I don't understand. What dialog box? I thought you meant the javascript confirmation box for the NSFW section.

The only time you really see them used are click-jacking attempts.

And here is a subreddit for bug reports, suggestions etc... bittit.reddit.com

Why would someone email her to tell her she isn't their type?  I just close it and move on if I don't like it.  Not like telling her that will do any good either. 

Just added direct links to photos, hotlinks, link to uploader pages.

To create an uploader page just use the same uploader ID (which should not be forgotten or shared with other people) during the upload process. This will put a link under each of you photos that will take visitors to see all your photos (all photos that use the same uploader ID that is...). You can use this to create albums or whatever.

Why not?

I'm guess many people won't click inside the dialogue box

Actually it's a play with the words like reddit. Seriously. That was the idea. And then I realized the pun but decided to leave it that way... :-)

Rant:
BTW I am LOST reading every stupid USA law about record keeping... Talk about a legal mess... So maybe I'll just move the server to another country. Any ideas? I can't ask for records from every single uploader. Initially the site was free for all with minimal moderation to remove anything obviously illegal. But it seems people well still seeing illegal things in it... So I started asking for a tedious verification from those that want to upload nudes or porn. And then I learnt about that record keeping law. I spent a day deciding whether I am a secondary producer or not. If I don't moderate the photos and leave EVERY photo into the site automatically I am definitely not a secondary producer according to the law since I merely do processing and hosting. But I want to keep this validation process which I am not sure if it makes me a secondary producer or not. I suppose not. But then I started wondering if I can host nudes/porn in a noncommercial way. Can I? And the most important question: which country is the most porn-server friendly? I'll keep my verification but I don't want to get into the mess of wondering whether I should keep records or not.

Oh and bittit.info isn't meant to be porn site per se. It was made to help people sell their pictures and I see no reason to exclude nudes or porn. :-P

I'm amazed i see this reaction. And  no one emails her but they bitch in public instead, on a forum she dosen't read herself seems ... like a waste of effort just to compain when it won't do any good

Do not want.

Emerald there's lots of answers to that but one of the biggest one is just specifics, you can tell a webcam model what to do when you want her to do it and interact with her as you see fit. Outside of that, for the most part i agree if you're not getting what you want it's any other porn.

Fun.  At first I thought bittit was going to be a misleading name.  Looks like that is intentional though.

I still don't get how pay-for-porn sites exist when there is so much free/ad-based stuff out there, but that's another discussion.

No, a mystery device that you would have to pipe your traffic through powered by bitcoin magic. Dont worry about how the black box works. Those are details to be solved after doing the more important things like getting a company name and logo and soliciting for donations from the forums.

haha what will they sell? solid black glasses or a sheet you put over your monitor any time you open a browser

I sure hope logansrych or atlas don't find this thread. It would inspire them to set this up as a business. "BitFrigid - Depornifying your Internet since 2011"

Mr hawk as we all know the internet is for porn, those wishing to keep it off the internet can expect to pay for this privilege

[mafia]"Now, Mr. Lanula, you surely wouldn't want these pictures to be uploaded to the Internet, would you? Yes, i gathered as much. See, for a slight ... charitable donation ... we would be willing to make these pictures... disappear.[/mafia]

Oddly she does fine elsewhere, however since she's not quite to your taste i'd gladly take a donation to not put any other photos of her up there for a while

LOL

  Genius!   

Now this is a business opportunity. Tritonio could implement a "pay to DEcrease resolution" button and have the users have a tug-of-war over the pictures.

LOL them NSFW are quite not safe for your stomach. That is one nasty



LOL might wanna get a better model if you are going to get some hits. Just a suggestion.

Wait, isn't that the same camgirl we've seen before?

Oh, right, it's your camgirl. Carry on then.

I use MSE too and I haven't got any alarm from my site. Perhaps it was form adf.ly who knows. There are no other ad networks used on the page. I didn't know there were serious js exploits.



MaxSan I had some serious problems with my web hosting company today and on top of that my internet connection broke for many hours leaving the site with a crappy piece of code that made all pictures invisble... :-) I hope I fixed everything now. Maybe you tryied to use the site while it was slower than a turtle or maybe you tried to upload the picture while I did some change in the code. Using chrome there is an upload progress i nthe status text but I don't know yet how to make an upload progress bar. Maybe I'll check that out sometime but I got lots of things waiting to be implemented. :-D After all, when the server is working properly even with my crappy connection I need less than a minute to upload a 5MP picture.

  We can't verify the false positive or not without knowing the file name in his cache and having someone else confirm they got the same one with mathcing md5 and stating wether or not it is clean. It is quite possible for an ad to be infected and with ad rotation and the ad server hopefully checking files, the same infected ad may not be seen again.

  BitcoinPorn, did you grab the file and take a look at it manually?  That aside, this is why we run no-script and no-ad when browsing the web.......

In other news someone is taking requests

BCP i'm thinking that's a false positive AVAST isn't reporting anything from it neither is AVG

Microsoft Security Essentials caught it right away, was just checking out your other sites in your signature.


Was found in \Documents and Settings\xxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\   I am guessing it was something through adfly, but I didn't check what other networks were on the page before just closing out.

Love the site great concept i cant seem to upload an image tho. I think it just chucks me off half way through. maybe you can add a uplaod bar so we can see progress as im not sure whats going on exactly.

Thanks

Well I thought that the javascript popup when you first enter was enough to warn you about that. :-)


Oh and I did some major changes to the site. NSFW is seperated now and only original content can be uploaded.

And I don't see anything in my blog. I scanned it with virustotal and it comes up clean. How did you get that warning BitcoinPorn?

PS: Also to upload NSFW pictures you have to verify yourself with a procedure similar to /r/gonewild. Sorry for the fuss...

I have no idea, there is no threads advertising his blog in his signature, so I won't make a thread or anything about it, just at least want to let him know and I guess anyone reading this particular thread.  I'm sure it is just through one of the many ad networks running off the blog.

Should we publicly announce this? How serious is this malicious ware?

Also, you seem to have a virus through your blog site in your signature.

Exploit:JS/Blacole.A

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBaum's_World#Copyright_infringement

Having the ability to have an end user be able to flag content is a way to cover your ass somewhat I believe, I do not know the specifics.     I think there is some cool ideas that could come from how the site is set up, but I just worry about stolen image abuse, it seems really easy.

I wish you luck, I honestly do, but I just hope more steps are taken to make sure people who create visual content on the internet will not have to worry about profits being taken from them.

Good idea. You can do it if I add the ability to have a different comment for fully paid pictures: Stitch the three together, upload them and then put a link to the zipfile in the comment. Not the best way though and it also misses the point of raising the resolution of individual pictures. I would prefer to upload a zipfile and then have the site to show as many forms as the pictures to set a price/address/comment for each one of them. What'd you think?

We accept hairy tits. :-P


Fixed. WTF was I thinking.


I am trying as hard as I can to avoid illegal photos. Although I am not sure if checking them myself puts me in a better legal position than having them autoaccepted and just allowing users to flag them. Bad thing is that there are no accounts (and I'd like to keep it that way) so I can't really ban users, so someone could troll the site while now he can only troll me.

That can be done and I can implement a tag system too. Might take a few days though cause I lack the time right now.
Nobody pays to view the picture. Users pay to increase the resolution of the picture but the picture is available to all. There is no point doing this on a per user basis since a user could grab the high res and give it to everyone.
Again the price is not paid per user. Whenever someone pays a portion of the final price, the picture grows towards its max res and it's available to eveyone. The closest thing I can think of is to report pictures with bad tags so that they are fixed/removed.


What happened to ebaums? If you are worried about image regulation I can do it myself along with a friend for now and I preffer to keep it instead of allowing flagging of content. Unless someone has better (legal) advice. BTW I don't know if that is what you mean but we don't take any cut from the picture sales. The bitcoins get sent directly to the sellers wallet and we just monitor the transactions to raise the resolution as appropriate.


So should I put it in the wiki somewhere?

You got it all wrong.  The people who pay for porn are not at all the same people who know where to get it for free.   Two completely separate audiences.



Anyways, just seen this link in /r/Bitcion, still having the same thought, how would this not go the way of eBaumsworld?   Except the users are taking a cut along with eBaum.  Which is funny as I know Bitcoin sort of brings that 'no rules' feel to the internet much like eBaum tried to claim as his defense in the first place.  I just fear the first person ballsy enough to try and put something created by a SomethingAwful Goon on the site to see how that goes down.

Anyways, I still like the Bittit concept and think as long as it is on top of image regulation, it could be awesome.

One way to solve the hairy tit problem might be to:

- in addition to age verification, ask for sexual orientation

- users who view new photos get to rate them and newly posted/unrated pics are cheap to view

- higher rated pics by users of the same sexual orientation cost a bit more for later users to view

So, in the hairy tits scenario, gay/bi/bear lovers would rate higher than I would as a straight male. Other straight males would see the low res hairy tits as cheap to view. Gay/bi/bear lovers would see the low rez hairy tits as a bit more expensive to view.

Sheesh...bitcoin...is there any problem it cant solve?

then we'll all just flag the ones that someone else is selling though! really just kidding flagging should only mark it for moderation and an email alert nothing more

Or just upload them and let users flag inappropriate pictures.

Your photo has been uploaded successfully and it will be approved in the next few days.


^ that is way too long these days hours should be more like it at worst

"Hotest" is misspelled.

  HAHA, the low rez version would not show the hair so the buyer might have his/her 'mood' interupted when they receive it. ;p

Is it a problem if the tits are super hairy?

I like it, but i want to be able to include photo sets(25-50 pics in a zip with 2-3 in low res as a display)

I just made this site with a friend. You can upload an original picture and set a price for it. Then the picture will be shown at the front page of the site in a low resolution and users will have to pay to increase the resolution. It seemed like a nice sale model to me so here it is: bittit.info.

BTW I hesitate to add this to the wiki because I don't know which section it falls under. I realize that the best users for a site like this would be the people over /r/gonewild and I intend to allow such usage (that's why I ask for age confirmation to first-time visitors). If someone could tell me which is the proper place for it I'd be happy. :-)
