Cointent - Micro payments to display content

[donal]

Cointent.co.uk is a demonstration of the potential of bitcoin as programmable money. Content can only be submitted once a $1 has been paid.

First venture into coding for bitcoin so go easy! Constructive feedback welcomed

First i like your logo on the site, and i have a few questions:
your website looks like from template right? cointent on the site which linked to page is space for ads? This is like you're rent your web space for ads and people who want rent must pay $1? For how long?

There are currently 5 spaces for content.. if you click on the "Cointent" button for each space, this opens a form to submit content to that space. Any submitted content, replaces the content that is currently there

I like the website donal, is simple and easy to use. As the project seems very interesting, i 'll keep closely to see how it evolves. Thanks for sharing with us donal.

I think you should add more space, and add about & FAQ page.
I like the template design, it's so simple but the font is not good for me.

Is this a script by itself or a plugin or something for a CMS?

I think this is a script custom coded by the OP.

Oh alright, I understand

Just to make sure I get this right, Cointent lets you posted (unsollicited) ads/posts in exchange for money?

As in, it's not a way to monetize content as a content creator (in the form of using the script as a paywall of sorts)?

It only posts the content if you send an equivalent of $1 to Cointent

In the sites current form, this is correct.

But the thing is that I am able to do it the other direction. It's really the trigger that is the innovation, so basically pay a micro fee to allow another action to happen. In this case it is to submit content, but I could easily change it to allow content to be displayed, or to upvote content, or in a social media style website, allow a connection between two people.


Thanks to others for the feedback

Wait, let me get this straight....
You are asking for your website visitors to pay you $1 for something you want to advertise (for someone else of which you probably got paid for already)?

If that is the case:
Here's an advice: Use your OWN original material and charge for that.
Tutorials or whatever man.
But charging me for something I can get for free?
Seriously?

EDIT: I like the name btw, it's really cool

No, I'm saying that is another possible implementation! Currently its asking for $1 to submit content and have a space on the front page.

Another implementation may work the other way, if you pay $1 it will display information that is stored on the database, like a paywall. The innovation is the micro fee triggering a consequence.

Confused as to what this is.

I agree it's the concept that matters, not just the ways of implementing it

Looks very interesting, will be keeping an eye on the progress.

bitcoin is just the perfect tool for web paywalls - micro transactions. good to see this kind of projects being developed.

what I really want to see is a 3rd party service to handle bitcoin payments and technical mumbo jumbo. A user with no clue should be able to integrate this into their website. (think about wordpress, drupal, smf plugins)

[syamster]

Is this just like advertising, you pay some and I will show your banner on my site.... or the content, written by you or who pay the money ?

[avatar_kiyoshi]

We pay $1 for 1 month or lifetime(I want if this true ) ?
Add FAQ content I think.

Something among an ads billboard - am I right?
