Title: I WANT to see this service: Bitcoin letter service
Post by: tosaki on July 06, 2012, 08:13:53 AM
Hi,

I would like to see a awesome Bitcoin letter service where you can upload a document and the service prints it out. After the service has received the Bitcoins it forwards it to a real life address (worldwide). Fees can be charged e.g. by number of pages and color/black white.

Of course it must have a API to automate that process.

I am interested in it because I would use it for sending address verification letters to Bitmit users. I can imagine that many other (Bitcoin) services might be interested in that as well!


Go go go :)

There was someone here that wanted to start such a thing using the PostalMethods API, but I don't know if it ever got past the idea stage.

It could be a useful service if it could send post cards too, for those who forgot to send a postcard while on holiday to their grampaws or whoever :)
