Slowly (very) working =) Main functional work already. Need to come with some design for it tho. Can't provide any estimate right now - sudden freelance project and day time job keep me very busy.

Idea slightly shifted from just rapidshare-like website. It became more pay-for-downloads project. Not sure if this is what people will want but it definatelly can be used =)

Anyway, stop teasing. ) I will publish announcement once I will be ready to accept beta  users.

Try it =)

Following idea:
1) Someone upload file he want to share.
2) Someone opens download page and download file.

Optionally Uploader can pay .02 BTC and will be provided a field to enter his own BTC address. Everytime someone pays for download, Uploader will get 50% of payment.

For Downloader - for every file he wants to download - he need to pay 0.02 BTC (only once per file per session).

Now:

- It's really basic. There is no accounts. This means it takes long time to get confirmation of payment. User accounts with balances will be introduced later.
- It's more suitable to selling files, not sharing like other free/captcha share file sites.
- I am hosting files on Amazon S3. Price 0.02 is definitely just for beta period and later will depend on file size or something else.

Comments/critiques are welcome.

Cool! Just trying it out with my BTC Technical Analaysis chart from Nov 18:

Don't download it too often because I don't want you to spend too much money on this one. Just to try it out. I may use it for further Analysis in the future to share files.

Great idea hippch!

A sketch for an idea.

How does payment back to me work, exactly? Refresh?

[bitcoinex]

Hippch, need to write what would happen if the user payed too little or too big amount.

[kiba]

* kiba hopes to get people to download his stuff and get commission for bitcoin.

[kiba]

The bitcoin art scene market is ON!

[hippich]

To get commission there is two requirements:
1) You have to pay fee after uploading file (after this you will get field to enter your bitcoin address)
2) Convince someone to pay and download it =)

Every time someone pays for file if there is BTC address associated with this file, half of user payment will go this address.

if someone sent less then file price (right now - .02 BTC), nothing will happen. If someone sent more - it will work the same way someone sent correct amount - uploader will get half of sent money.

Very slow downloading: I downloading 13.6 MB video. Estimated time approximately 30 minutes for it will be downloaded.

But I think this is may be killer app of bitcoin!

Any kind of pornography would do the same for bitcoin what its did for the Internet. Seriously, I seen a similar file-sharing service and I know what I'm talking

[kiba]

How can a service like this compete with free?

That's weird. Download happens directly from Amazon S3. Should be pretty fast. I will look into doing CDN if this will take off as an option.

I have no idea =) I just done that. Idea was to replace captcha with bitcoins. So to evade bots we make it costly to download. Also to encourage uploaders - they get commission.

Now I understand that it will not work for the same goal as sendyouit.com, but probably someone here will find it useful =)
