Thank you for sharing this info - need to read it carefully and see how to act next. I believe at this point I am not a threat to these groups and when I become one, I will find a way around it.

nice! keep up with this video. visual description of bitcoin technology is very important!

It was public domain! =)) Seriously, I think here main morpheus's concern is mp3s (and probably videos/software on a smaller scale). I too heard a lot of stories about copyright groups going after music files shared on file networks, but after looking through all file sharing services they just offer you contact them and they remove these files if it infringing someone's copyrights. I think, this covered by safe harbor for online service providers provision in DMCA.

Honestly, I thought about all of this, but really do not know how to deal with that. I planned to add "Flag this"-kind link to report pirated files, so I can remove them. Do you have any links to cases with this *AA group and filesharing services?

Please add http://ubitio.us/ to Trade page =) This is paid file sharing site. Like rapidshare, but instead of entering captcha you need to pay small (for now at least) fee.

haha =))

http://ubitio.us/ !!! check out new graphics! =)

1) different pictures - this will mess UI for sure. I'd like to keep it simple as field and button. But! It's good idea to release API at some point (once accounts with balances will be implemented), and people will be able to build their galleries on top of this. (probably, create photostock site on top of it?)

In mean time - just upload several versions and that's it.

2) This probably could be done with adding "destination" to url. Will think how to do this the best way.

Great! I will start working on implementing bitcoin descriptions and links in the download page to faucet!

Thank you for reporting back. I was not able to caught it 'cos i was testing with my own wallet )) so it seemed ok))

There is "description" field available after uploading and paying for a file. So someone can post here url to thumbnail, or demo or something. Hm... I need to put html filter here, or this site will xss-ed really quickly )

to track that someone got their coins from Faucet? I don't think so. I can track how much people clicked on Faucet link tho. It should be easily done with Google Analytics.

BTW, not sure if it's good idea, but I can mention bticoin faucet on "Download" page, so someone from outside can download files atleast once (with current price it will allow to download two times). Should I do that or we should not exploit Faucet?

So. Anyone wants to sell something? =) Feel free to upload and give address to all your fellow bitcoin holders =) Once expanded, we can upload interesting stuff there and give away links to general community and they will have to know about bitcoins in order to download this stuff )

may be someone can create some cool widgets for bitcoin and also sell them? To make this work I need to find a way to define "right" price:
1) Price should cover expenses on S3 hosting, so it should be related to size of uploaded file.
2) Price should be flexible, so uploader have some range he can use to manage price of his files.

What do you think?

probably will implement on some point. but i think it's not that valuable yet since site itself is not https:// (and i do not have IP address to put second ssl yet)

fixed. and downloaded again to test it. seems to store correct address in queue. let me know if you receive 1 cent in an hour.

oh.. i think i missed variables.. and it looks like it sent it to himself. sorry. will send you your 6 bit cents manualy and fix this mess!

there is 6 downloads. 5 of them already confirmed and sent to 12UfGSQ9S93bp8tXPrdDLYvG4tK4ta4o5q. 6th is still waiting to get 6 confirmations.

it's "them" - http://status.linode.com/2010/11/fremont-connectivity.html

nice =))
