crickets will be chirping on this ANN as banks sponsors and Hollywood corporations get increasingly sweaty clammy around this inevitable innovation.

Will post contents here so i can easily link to it.

We'll over the last few months I've been working on a project called FrozenBit. It's a trustless multi signature crypto-currency security platform > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fund-raiser-frozenbit-multi-currency-multisignature-open-source-wallet-673533
Now the frozenbit is nearing completion I thought I'd share my second Idea with the community.
We'll I wanted to run by the community, which has greatly supported my last project, another project idea I had.
FrozenBytes [because once's it's uploaded it'll never go away]
The goal is to create something like openbazaar but based on the mechanics of the pirate bay.
ACQUISITION OF PLATFORM:
The platform will be downloaded and run like a qt wallet. Users will download the "blockchain" all the files currently uploaded. The wallet qt will not vary from other qt's except no currency will be used (CONTINUE READING BELOW TO SEE WHY). WILL ATTEMPT TO INTEGRATE PRIVACY TOOLS.
Alternatively other methods can be examined if file pool reaches extremely high levels.
FEATURES OF THE PLATFORM:
The platform will easily include upload and download. It'll also contain a search, and INSTEAD OF LINKS WHEN A FILE IS UPLOADED IT GENERATES WHAT IS EQUAL TO A TX HASH. This hash is what will be the "link" to the exact file. We could also integrate store front features and have a currency integrated. That way people can easily sell music and such for money. Effectively creating a way for people to profit off of their music/movies/ whatever via crypto currency. (BASICALLY HAVE A LOCK PAGE AND SAY "SEND XXX CURRENCY TO ADDRESS", WHICH EFFECTIVELY WILL BE USERNAME)
JUST REALIZED THERE COULD ALSO BE METHODS TO MAKE IT HARDER TO PIRATE PAID FOR STUFF. We could entirely encode stuff with the tx. If a file has that tx byte or whatever still in it we could have stops in place to prevent it from being re-uploaded. A better system of creators protection (Blah blah blah fuck copyright... Don't care... These are ideas roll with it.)
Also to prevent people from downloading what is effectively 100% porn we could include previews for songs/images?
NOTE SAME STEPS CAN BE TAKEN WITH NON-PAID FILES
WALK ME THROUGH IT:
You'll start out by downloading the client, which I want to be available via mobile (an app would be preferred), windows, linux and mac
Next you'll allow the blockchain to sync
Once this is done you'll see your username (ADDRESS) and password (PRIVATE KEY) you'll use this to login. P.S. I just effectively made it theoretically impossible to hack accounts.
Next you'll want to upload something, so you'll see a tab saying upload. You'll click that it'll ask for info (keep in mind this is a bitcoin qt type client) about the file and you upload [only things like name, artist etc.]
It'll then ask you about making it paid, which you'll say yes because you worked hard on this song.
Then the file will upload and it'll generate a "Tx" which will be the link allowing you to share this file.
Since it's paid it'll have the send xxx to download lock over it.
NOW I'M A PERSON WHO WANT'S THIS FILE:
I'm buying from my favorite artist who's name is calvin and goes by the the address of 1satoshiscousinssitersunclesroommate . I heard he released a new song, and I want it.
I see his tx on his website is
wowsuchcurrenymuchfilesharewow
I enter this into my client to find "To download file sent xxx frozenbyte coins to 1satosh............" (which remember is his username)
I then can download this song, I paid the artist and am starting an ecosystem all within it's self.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! I ALSO NEED YOUR HELP! EVERYTHING HERE IS BASICALLY THEORETICAL AT THIS POINT, HOWEVER, I WILL BE UPDATING WHITE BLUEPRINTS AND DESIGNS ABOUT HOW IT WILL WORK/DESIGN.
LIKE THIS IDEA OR FROZENBIT?
