Sell your digital content for Bitcoin today!

This site provides an easy way to sell digital content for Bitcoin. There's no need to register, just upload your file and set the price you would like to charge along with your Bitcoin address.

You can try it out and support me by downloading a custom ringtone I created to alert you saying " Bitcoin Mining Related Message" Useful to set as an alert on your smartphone so you can distinguish between Bitcoin related email messages.

Interesting. Best of luck with your project.

Good luck with your business!

I agree, this is the sort of service I might look into using for Black Hat Magick publications as an alternative that takes Bitcoin. :)

wow, this is pretty nice, and only 1% fee.

This is not my site :) just came across it browsing..

I think it does have alot of potential though.

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 ;D

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

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.

Well my first item listed - The alerttone seems to be selling and I have received my coins successfull.

Again good job.

I put my band's latest album up there:

can we get 30 second demos or something?

Here's a free song: http://theexperiments.com/music/what_kind_of_animal/10_its_friday_night_and_i_wanna_get_laid.mp3

It's Friday Night And I Wanna Get Laid

lol +1 to your song!

Very nice!

site is down - why's that?

...? still kaputt.
was so interested in this, and about to use it heavily.

really bumbed this is still down.  I really wanted to use it.  Does anyone know who started it?

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? :)

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 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 :)

derfderf
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 :)

I don't think I would be sleeping well, if I might suspect that the service helps spread CP...
