So, my grandfather passed away some time ago. Recently, I found his collection of old game-filled floppy disks and CDs. For most of these, the company that made them is now defunct, the original copyright owner can't be found, or the copyright is otherwise hard to place and track down. Therefore, I'm making a bunch of them available to you for a fee! Here's how it works. You contact me with the name of the game you want, and I give you an address. Then, you send the requested amount to me, and I give you the random (banging on the keyboard-generated) password. You can then download the game, I'll change the password, and wait for another satisfied customer. Games available: Jones in the Fast Lane: A unique and awesome combination of Life and Monopoly. http://ul.to/1j2jcgupDoom: You know what DOOM is. http://ul.to/2otyhgmgMarble Drop: A puzzle game that requires you to think two steps ahead and get marbles through increasingly complicated contraptions. http://ul.to/eq8ybrh2Incredible Machine 3: The best installment in the Incredible Machine franchise, featuring all the crazy parts you could ask for to build absurdly awesome Rube Goldberg machines to solve puzzles and make your own. http://ul.to/ouqfzyylSanitarium: A critically acclaimed adventure game I can't say I've ever really played. http://ul.to/tap5fwpsMini vMac: A classic Macintosh emulator, complete with its own set of games. http://ul.to/9kx9z1s6Incredible Toon Machine: Like the Incredible Machine, but with cartoon antics thrown in. http://ul.to/sii54bbgLife and Death 2: The Brain: A brain surgery simulator. Notorious for being extremely exact and being fun to kill your patients in. http://ul.to/gck1kntdAir Bucks: You are an airline. Set any number of things from destinations to what kind of food you serve. http://ul.to/pd0oh8m2Lemmings: The classic hard-to-explain wildly fun puzzle game. Often remade, but never ideally imitated. http://ul.to/242ymbruSimLife: Control an ecosystem! Make your own plants, animals, play with the landscape, inflict natural distasters, watch evolution and everything. http://ul.to/juvwul3oSimAnt: Control an ant colony. Defeat the rival ant colonies and eventually take over the yard and the house! http://ul.to/zzjaxun5All games are 0.1 BTC for now. If there are any games you'd like to see here, let me know and I'll go sorting through the boxes of games my grandpa left behind. EDIT: The Commander Keen games are still under copyright, have been removed from this post, and can be found here: http://www.3drealms.com/games.html |

Applied for a freebie. This certainly seems interesting, and I want to see where it goes.

I'm gonna say this:
You have aroused my interest. Would you be taking my 3D model file, or a mere description of what I want printed?

Also, I've looked at CoinDL, but it doesn't suit my needs.
Due to fees, or the terms (e.g., content restrictions)? Yeah. I'm leaning towards selling so-called 'abandonware', software where the copyright has either run out, the owning company has gone defuncy, or the original owner is hard to verify. I don't think the CoinDL people would go for that. |

But those have all these fancy Internet words I don't understand! or do it the hacky way, make a zip file put a random password on it, then upload it to dropbox or something to host files then when people want the file password, they pay you, make sure you get them to sign a message with there address so you know someone aint trying to pull one of those "I downloaded but lost it can I get the password again" type scams. I must say, this is sounding pretty good. If nothing else, I'll have to do this. as another idea just to make it more secure, send the zip to one person then after that person confirms they downloaded it, remove it then change the password, so they can't share, but you have to make sure the zip password is very random and long Thanks. Sent you a bitcent for your troubles. And this wonderful picture of Bill Nye eating a sandwich.  |

I'd script this for BTC. Let me know  I'd ask about this, but I almost certainly can't afford it. Thanks anyways! |

I would like to know how you somehow manage to bend the laws of probability.

So, I'm looking for a website that lets me upload a file, then charge people to download it. Basically, I want to know if there's a website like www.bitcoinservice.co.uk, except that site doesn't work for me. Are there other, similar services out there that work? Also, I've looked at CoinDL, but it doesn't suit my needs. |

I don't know about you all, but it's kinda fun to see mister OP here fail.

GetBitcoin ( https://www.get-bitcoin.com/ ) has a number of services for a flat 3 percent fee, including cutting you a check and mailing it to you. |

You can always send without a fee, sometimes it'll take forever. Sometimes, though, I'll be using the wallet at Blockchain.info and it won't even ask me to include a fee. I believe the bitcoin protocol codes for something like 50 KB of free transactions per block or something.

So, I recently received a $10 Barnes and Noble gift card that I'm looking for 2 1 BTC for. I can send whoever buys it the card number and PIN so that it can be used online, either to help pay for books to add books to a Nook. I can provide pictures if necessary to prove that I have the card, and will also physically mail the card to you if you want to pay for shipping.
I have lowered the price, so come at me, bros!

Here's a suggestion for you: Let me set a list of tags that I can help with on my profile. Say I set "bitcoin", "coding", and "lasagna" as tags on my profile. Then, whenever someone asks a question with any or all of those tags, you send me an email asking if I can answer it.

I must say, the name alone got me looking at this. I would certainly consider investing in PIMP, if only so I can see it when I check my GLBSE account.

This certainly seems to be a promising venture. Here's hoping it takes off!
