Greetings all
I'm looking to build a small community with a very basic function. To this end, I've registered the domain
http://darksend.it. I intend to share the domain with everyone, so read on.
The function is to be a shorturl of sorts for darkcoin addresses. Registration costs .1 drk, and if darkcoin ever reaches USD $10, $100, the price will change to .01, and .001. The target is a dime.
example:
http://darksend.it/dime http://darksend.it/newuserI intend to give the domain "back" to the community in the following ways:
1. (this one's just self promotion) The web server is hand written and as I think of more things for the community, I will use my time to build them.
2. Once there are over 1000 users, I will throw the dns over to afraid.org, which has a long history giving free dynamic domain hosting services. This means you'll be able to point you.darksend.it to your webserver, or your computer, etc.
3. Anyone who contributed over 10 (this may lower) drk during their registration will be given an account on an IRC bouncer running on the root domain itself. So you can irc as
you@darksend.it. This isn't automated yet but I'll likely work on it soon.
#3 can backfire so it's not a guarantee, just a best effort type scenario. Allowing people to irc with your domain is asking for a ddos and coming back for more. But if it works out, this would be awesome.
If you have any ideas for what the site can become, feel free to hit me up (drkdime) in the official darkcoin irc channel on freenode, but keep in mind I prefer text to the over marketization the internet has become.
I'm looking to build minimalist but useful services, not be another fanboy cheerleader site.
