A probable new idea for content online distribution

[runningpig]

I have followed with interest the crypto-currencies since 2011, most of the time, from the outside. Now I got some idea to share, and it may be able to do some good to the community.

The basic concept is:
   - Alpha is the file holder and wants to sell those files at a reasonable price anonymously;
   - Bravo wants to have the files;
   - Alpha can encrypt the files with the client, set a price for deciphering. Meanwhile, he pays a transaction fee based on the size of the files (optional);
   - Alpha shares the encrypted package with P2P, net driver, etc.;
   - Bravo downloads the pkg, and then he can decipher it with the client after paying the price set by Alpha. Most of the money will be automatically wired to Alpha’s wallet, small amount as the transaction fee.
   - Charlie, Delta, Echo are miners that keep the blockchain consistent;
   - Client should avoid encrypting the encrypted files;
   - One common application is content online distribution consists of music, films and software.

I have no idea if someone has already created this kind of thing. If no and you want to take this idea to make a new “Coin”, I am not gonna stop you. I have no idea how to program software and not intend to ICO. Anyway, a donation of this coin in near future is welcomed.

You can hire developers there are a dimze a dozen it's just that 99% of them are not good so you have to find 1% that are good and they can develop this coin for you!

Now I would like to add some more details for this coin.
a.
Alpha would be able to set a time after which the files can be deciphered.
He can set for the files in the package individually.

He can also call back the package after paying a reasonable price.

b.
The client provides a built-in P2P file-sharing function.
Alpha pays to encrypt his files. The files are packaged. cut into many small pieces and sent to miners anonymously and redundantly.
Miners get paid for storing files.

Bravo pays Alpha and miners to get the pieces, and finally the deciphered files.

The price of this coin depends on the price of the hard driver.
Storage costs way less energy than CPU/GPU computing, so it is much greener.
Now, these mining tycoons need to build data centers to manipulate the market.

Why bother? BitBay already has a marketplace where you can sell not only digital content, but anything. And it is fully decentralized and secure. The above idea has no solution to prevent scams like sending a doc where it only says "hello world"

if its the case, then there is many of people will only send a doc that says "hello world" like you said and i think its not good for the coin itself because many of other people will be gets scam and it will make some chaos in the blockchain. there will be thousand of transaction for sending the content digital. but all in all, i don't know and i am not sure about this, maybe its a good idea and maybe its not. its depend on what the purpose from the dev and what he wants to do with his plan.

I know scam is always a part of this game, especially when everything is anonymous. I will consider it seriously. Thanks for reminding.

One common concern would be what if BitBay went down due to regulation.
