I take that back, this is exactly what I was thinking of. You rock!
is it? you are not locking anything with bitcoin, from what i can tell by looking at that site you are locking a file in their centralized database and then sell a link to that centralized database where they receive bitcoin payments to release the file then take their cut and deduct all the transaction fees and then give you what is left! that is practically the most centralized way you can ever do things and you might as well also get paid in fiat  Yeah, after looking at it a bit more that's exactly what it looks like they're doing. The site is pretty much just file arbitrage, so I take it back that it's exactly what I meant. But how do you pay for a digital item and be guaranteed that someone else won't just copy pasta this item for free? Because if the item is somehow locked and can only be opened by someone with bitcoin, then you can actually transfer digital goods for bitcoin, or whatever, and they will hold that value without the risk of someone just copying it for free. I feel like there are probably alt projects that are trying to do this, but I haven't seen anything like that yet. |

as far as possibility goes, any transaction output can contain any garbage data inside which could be a file. although bitcoin nodes are going to reject such nonstandard transactions because of the reason i mentioned above.
theoretically speaking and off the top of my head, one could encrypt a file (as raw bytes) with their public key then publish it on bitcoin blockchain. then two parties could come up with a multisignature design with that public key and the "buyer's" public key. then the buyer sends coins to that multisig address, as soon as the first party spends from that address he has to reveal the public key in which case the buyer can decrypt the file. but so will anybody else since the blockchain is public. So what you're saying is you can only buy something with bitcoin once? |

I'm sure this question won't sound that articulate because I don't know all the uses of bitcoin or blockchain applications, but is there a way to lock a file, or image, or website with bitcoin? Theoretically, the only way to access the thing is to "unlock it" with bitcoin, hence pay the owner of the digital object. I'm sure there are 1000 projects that have some similar shtick, but can this just be done with bitcoin? I feel like if it was possible and easy to do that could be a game changer. Curious about people's thoughts.
The only thing I can think of is: https://satoshidisk.com/Yeah, that looks pretty close to what I was thinking. Have you ever used it? I take that back, this is exactly what I was thinking of. You rock! The pages doesn't seem to accept emails to send the download to though: https://satoshidisk.com/pay/C9WBoK |

Casascius physical bitcoins is normally not dated,
i haven't really checked Casascius coins but apparently there are different versions, some contain bitcoin (mini private keys that hold bitcoin). so they ARE dated, in fact their dates are the strongest and the most decentralized dating mechanism that you can hope for. how? it is linked to coins (a transaction output) on the bitcoin blockchain. the transaction that is included in a block that has a timestamp  Aside from Casascius coins, are there any ways to identify a bitcoin as collectible? Let's say block height or something. I assume eventually some bitcoin may be worth more than others, particularly older bitcoin. Does anyone know of a way you can see what height the bitcoin you own was mined? Does it basically just involve tracing the transaction history? Do people think that eventually there will be collectors that try to accumulate older bitcoin over later bitcoin? |

I read that the ichimoku system was designed around a 6 day trading week, since at the time that's how trading worked in Japan. If that's true, I wonder if doubling the values is actually that useful, or if the default values might still be valuable. I know people have had success trading this strategy, but what are people's experience both using the default values and doubling the values? With the default values it looks like you should be starting a short right about now, and with the crypto values it still seems ambiguous to enter a trade. Curious about peoples experiences. |

I'm a full time writer with over 6 years experience copy editing, writing, and pitching new ideas. I've been in crypto for over 3 years and have learned much about the space in that time. I am interested and would be happy to write for you. Do you have a site where I could see the kind of content you create?
P.s I would have sent you a PM, but since I'm new I've already exceeded my limit for now. If you reach out to me we can discuss this further.

Bitcoin is money for machines, we're just part of the bootstrapping process |
