Is this still valid ^{[the highlighted part]}?
- It appears we have various options under "Available quantity" ^{[unless I'm missing something]}...

I'm impressed...
- Bookmarked :)

Interesting service :)
Unfortunately I don't have any digital files to sell, so I created a test-file.

Some things I've noticed:
1. After clicking "Go to payment page", the browser "Back" button doesn't work.
2. If I update the Available quantity to 0, I can still click "Go to payment page" if I had the public link open in a Tab already. That probably means that if there's only 1 item left, and 2 people open the buy-page at the same time, the item gets sold twice. Is that correct?
3. I can't find the public marketplace.

Depending on the transaction fee you use, this'll be terrible for micropayments. Any chance you'll support Lightning Network in the future? Or is this service meant for more expensive digital files?

Another thought:
This can probably easily be abused by either scammers, or criminals selling for instance illegal photographs. Apart from escrow, maybe you can add a service that verifies the file to be as advertised?

Looks interesting. I am going to take a look at and bookmark it.

Excellent UI and UX including responsive layout.

Impressed with design. And happy to know about great service to offer a better solution for P2P businesses.

Boxtoshi is a real gift for freelancers and independent entrepreneurs. They can offer their digital products online for selling with cryptocurrencies.

But along with this positive side, there are also considerable issues too. which are already mentioned, by LoyceV.

Micropayments are one issue as fees are overcome can make a disturbance.

And about security for content, which will be digital. You can create substances with users verification for trust and reputation. This will help to bring more user engagement and more traffic.

Thank you very much for your comment.

The 3 points you mention will be fix very soon.
The marketplace is still not "public" as I am waiting to have a lots of interesting products first. :)

I will in the future add a "blue check or something" to confirm the product was verified and is as advertised. (very good idea)

What would be a "good" minimum amount to avoid blockchain spam ? I will read about Lightning Network and see if I can use it. :)

Again, thank you for taking the time to give a review. I really appreciate it.

If this is still correct (https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/210354003-What-is-the-minimum-amount-I-can-send-), the minimum amount to send it 546 satoshi (0.00000546 BTC / $0.04). If that's your 2% fee, that puts the minimum payment amount at 27,300 satoshi (0.00027300 BTC / $1.98). Unless you don't charge a fee for lower transactions, or set a minimum fee.
If you receive such a small transactions in fee by yourself, you'll have to consolidate them at low transaction fee (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.0), otherwise you risk paying more in transaction fee than it's worth.

To compare services, you can check out Paywall.Link (https://paywall.link/). They accept micropayments through Bitcoin Lightning Network. Their Recent list (https://paywall.link/home/recent) shows what you're up against: most of it looks like spam.
