Title: Web based bitcoin business ideas.
Post by: massivebitman on February 23, 2013, 01:20:51 PM
I'm a programmer and I want to build useful stuff for people, who could pay for it in bitcoin.
I'm mostly working alone, so I'm looking for  some simple ideas that I can take and run with one day.

I put one a SMS based price alerts website (http://www.bitcointextmessage.com) together, and I've been watching it intently since I launched it a few hours ago
(Seriously could at least one person click on the link  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'().

Well I thought this was a great idea, but if nobody's interested in this, what is it that people want??

Let me know cause I'm keen to build it  :)

Hey, your SMS alert site looks good.

Here are some ideas, not sure how much work they would involve nor am I willing to pay to have them built at this point, but do with them what you want:

YouTube bitcoin tipjar, perhaps with additional functionality like this: http://www.embedplus.com/

vBulletin add-on that allows users to tip posters for good posts, and allows posters to hide content until user pays to reveal.  Could be based on this:http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?productid=40&do=product

Similarly, a way for http://status.net/ site owners can allow users to tip or charge for content

Build a site like http://blahtherapy.com/ were listeners can charge for their service, or talkers can tip them if they choose

Thanks for checking out my site  bimmerhead!

Good ideas. I like the idea of something like blah therapy.. I always think the Internet isn't interactive enough.. I often want to be able to interact with people immediately

There's already a site for tips... http://flattr.com

I contacted them already about BTC and they are, like most others, considering it.

I love the idea of a YouTube tipjar. I play music and it would be awesome if we could have a way for fans to drop us tips/tour help via the web using BTC.

Let me know if you ever need someone to beta-test this functionality with a high amount of traffic. We have a good number of fans that are very online/tech-savy

Cheers!

@massivebitman, are you able to build this idea?

How much BTC would you want to make it happen?
