Hello,

RemoteFS is a geo-distributed online storage solution meant for private, reliable remote storage of permanent and semi-permanent data. All data is replicated to at least three different datacenters and can survive the death of any two of them. We're ready to accept some beta users.

https://remotefs.com/

Data will be charged at ~0.5 mBTC USD (or 0.10 USD) per GB/month for 3x replication in datacenters in the US, Canada and Europe. You only pay for what you use, rounded up to the next gigabyte. Unused credits roll over to the next month.

But since we're in beta we won't charge people who join now and for three months after the release and your account will get a free 5GB forever.

Your storage space can be accessed with any SFTP client (such as WinSCP, Filezilla, sftp, etc.). More protocols coming later.

We are offering cheap custom vanity addresses.

Bitcoin addresses are addresses that start with a readable part, e.g. Satoshi Dice has addresses such as 1dice1Qf4Br5EYjj9rnHWqgMVYnQWehYG. These addresses are generated using brute-force generation of addresses.

We can offer the following prices for custom vanity addresses:

1-4 characters (hard) = 0.01 BTC
5 characters (hard) = 0.05 BTC
7 characters (hard) = 0.17 BTC
8 characters (hard) = 10 BTC

The numbers above include the leading 1 (e.g. "1dice" is 5 characters). If the first character after the initial 1 is a number or uppercase letters A through P, you have an "easy" address and can deduct one character from the table above. All other characters are "hard".. A few other exceptions apply but we'll let you know if that is the case.

In order to generate your address, you have to provide a "step 1 public key" as generated by the vanity wallet feature of https://www.bitaddress.org/ or the keygen feature of vanitygen. You should back up and keep your step 1 private key safe. Once we're done mining your address we'll send you our pool key, which can be combined with your private key to create a wallet. This procedure ensures that we won't be able to control your wallet.

For 8 character vanity names, we may be able to reduce your costs if you provide a few alternative versions of your desired address: e.g. with slight differences in capitalization.

Please contact us here, in a PM or at support@bittarget.com if you have any doubts or if you would like to try the service. Addresses up to 7 characters should take one or two days to generate. Please verify our availability for 8-character names.

Do notice that this is an experimental service at this point.

I own several properties and pet projects and setting up e-mail is something that has always annoyed me. So I built a little infrastructure to deal with this and I am thinking of releasing it into the world.

It is meant to be particularly useful for people who own several websites and those websites have a varying number of human and service accounts across several domains.

What I would be willing to provide:

- Email hosting with very few arbitrary limits (create as many domains / mailboxes / e-mail forwards / domain maps as you want)
- All of the appropriate "modern" security requirements for emails taken care of: strict (user-configurable though) SPF records, DomainKeys, enforced TLS for clients (to avoid plaintext password leaks), opportunistic STARTTLS  between servers with ECDHE, etc.
- Both POP3 and IMAP.
- A simple REST-ful API and browser-based UI to handle provisioning domains/forwards/mailboxes
- Optional DNS server. Plenty of stuff that makes e-mail safer these days is in DNS so it would make sense to let us handle that for you.
- Encrypted backups.
- Hosting in Europe in two different countries with failover.
- You get to use as much or as little of the system as you want. Only need forwards? Great. Wanna edit your SPF records and add your own server? Awesome. Want to add quotas to some accounts? Feel free to. No quotas for yourself? That's awesome as well. Want us to relay for you? Sure thing. Dedicated IP address for you and bring your own certificate? Can do (at a little extra cost for the IP address).

It would cost about $7 equivalent in Bitcoin for every 20GB of stored data and, of course, it can't be used for spam.

So I ask:

- Would people be interested in paying for this?
- Are there any missing features?

Most of the work is already done on my side but offering this for third parties involves some overhead, so I would appreciate if the community could chime in.

Hello, we are glad to announce BitTarget, our HTTP-to-SMS gateway.

https://bittarget.com/

The deal is simple. We have a ridiculously easy-to-use REST API, and you can use it to send SMS almost anywhere in the world.

It's a great way to:

- add two-factor authentication or a security fallback to your web app
- build that BTC price-watching service
- verify users without a credit card
- receive Nagios alerts
- reach your customers

Here are some examples of how to use our API - no external libraries necessary:
