Economic Advantage of a micropay download site:
1. No Turing test that reject you even if you're a human. 2. No waiting 15 seconds to download. 3. No FRICKING ANNOYING ADS. 4. No bittorrent seeds fail.
Suggestions:
1. Keep it simple and fast to download site. Should be 3 seconds, MINIMUM. The longest process should be the DOWNLOADING OF CONTENT. 2. No ads please. No content to distract us from the act of downloading. 3. Make it easy to find new content to download while without contradicting #1 and #2. Advertise good uploaders on your front page. 4. Keep ANONYMOUS uploading, no account. An uploader should be able to try the service without registering, visiting his email account, etc.

we end up with inferior and less knowledge than if people had the freedom to determine for themselves when and how their resources should be deployed.
We end up with different knowledge and technologies, probably. Maybe there would be some kind of electro-mechanical internet precursor.

Bitcoin ... is a currency like any others But ... Bitcoin is a currency totally different from all the others! Establish rapport with the audience, help them understand it.

Accepting every transaction is the selfish thing. Every batch from the oven yields an unlimited amount of bread. And there is a thousand people who offer to pay very little. Will the baker decline to take the money, throw away the bread and let the competitors make the sales instead?
But don't you need to accept a price?

Bitcoin is a currency for the internet. With Bitcoin, you can make payments anywhere in the world conveniently and for little or no cost.
The Bitcoin system is not operated by any government. It is not controlled by bankers. It is not the product of any corporation. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer internet currency. Every transaction within the Bitcoin system is checked and processed collectively by the computers that form the Bitcoin network.
Everyone can use Bitcoin. There's no charge to join, and no need to register. Just install the Bitcoin software and start it up. You can earn Bitcoins by selling products and services to the Bitcoin community, or you can buy bitcoins from exchanges.
To send bitcoins to someone else, click on "Send coins". Choose the recipient from your address book, or paste in their Bitcoin receiving address. To receive bitcoins, tell the sender your Bitcoin receiving address so that they can send you some coins. You don't need to have your Bitcoin software running when someone sends you coins.
The total number of bitcoins is fixed, but they are subdividable and can support any level of trade. Bitcoins are originally earned by those whose computers are processing Bitcoin transactions, and it's also possible to earn small transaction fees from certain kinds of Bitcoin transactions. This provides an ongoing incentive for people to allow their computers to process Bitcoin transactions.
The Bitcoin system is underpinned by mathematics and secured by public key cryptography. Because Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer system, only valid transactions that are acceptable to the network will be processed. Someone attempting to defraud the system would need to control more computer power than all of the honest network nodes combined, so there is strength in numbers.
To get started, visit bitcoin.org and download the software or join the forum. Bitcoin is an exciting and potentially game-changing currency.
Nice start. But I think I got a better introduction. ---> What is bitcoin? <--- Bitcoin is money. It is a currency like any others that is used to buy goods and services via the internet. CUE VISUAL CUES: Bitcoins IS LIKE the... USD. Yen. Yuan. Pound. Euro.

I already proposed relatively easy access to bitcoins with direct Visa or Mastercard purchase using Liqpay or Moneybookers which is better then PayPal in terms of non-reversibility. But unfortunately people criticised both payment systems without suggesting better alternative I saw your proposal and didn't consider it "relatively easy". Easier, perhaps, for some; but certainly not for me. A stamp and evelope works fine, just takes much longer than most are willing to wait. Until the USPS decides to "oops, I lost it."

Also, suggest a bitcoin donation frame to your favorite blogger/online content provider/church/whatever. It takes next to no effort or risk to start taking donations, and if their supporters are donating that way, they won't stop and others will notice the system eventually. 12% of the population is the 'mindshare' breaking point. Once 12% of your target audience knows, in general, what Bitcoin is; you have hit the mainstream.
12%? Where you get that number?

In a future with a successful Bitcoin, most generation would likely be performed at a net loss by persons or institutions with the most interest in Bitcoins security.
No! Thats a tragedy of the commons situation. It just doesn't work. If Bitcoin will have to rely on that it's doomed. Hmm, I can't think my way out of this problem.

I didn't know project wonderful. Seems interesting. But does advertizing really worth it ? I mean : advertizing is now being everywhere all the time. Do you really believe that some ads on some website will have an impact that worth the money spent for that ?
I don't know. We have to spend to find out. Ads on projectwonderful are surprisingly cheap, so we probably gain a lot. Moreover, there's more to advertising than just clicking. For one thing, there's brand recognition.
