This is partially something i read here on the forum, can't find the thread, but it got me thinking.

An in-QT listing of items being sold for BTC, or any other alt-coin. Rather than storing all the listings on the chain, they are stored on host nodes. Basically if i am selling something i just make a small tx, 0.00001 BTC and place the item details in the tx comment. The client would then parse the comments (ie, we'd need a standard format) in the chain and present them like a "classifieds" adverts. Clicking on an item would take you to a (secure) browser in the app that retrieves the information from the host machine (the sellers computer) for proper viewing of the item(s) for sale. Basically, we use the tx hash as a pointer to the items being sold.

Not sure if i phrased this right. But would such a system be feasible (maybe with a custom QT ? ) and would it actually be something worthwhile for the community?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Adding a feature like that would actually be relatively easy for Namecoin and Florincoin since they already have the capability of storing extra information as part of a transaction. For other coins, the addition would require a change too drastic for what little it offers. It's not a useful feature, after all. Without a central authority regulating the "advertisements," it will pretty much be a digital warehouse for spam and scams. Anyone who actually needs such a feature will find it better to just advertise aggressively through legitimate channels.
