What do you think? If I made a Bitcoin payment integration for this, would anyone be interested in running it? It might be the first fully automated service available to buy with Bitcoins. The advantage it could offer over the free services is general file upload hosting of large files without making downloading users go to the upload site and jump through hoops. It would give a normal link directly to the file.
I’m looking to upgrade both my proxy hosting machine and service provider. ( lots of Chinese users will want to access google .com soon for their gmail accounts ! etc. ) I will be expanding the payment methods to accept Bitcoins. 😁
The new provider also has 2x split static IP capabilities. I’d imagine I might have enough bandwidth to launch the service, I’m not sure about maintaining it though, if the service was to become very popular. My bandwidth is unlimited though and it is a ‘business’ account.
It would have to be a non TLD with maybe a domain forward. DynDNS.com springs to mind again. How about something like: bitcoin-file-hosting.doesntexist.org 😄
Some file hosting services also pay users to download others content. It would be cool if users could offset their subscription by downloading others content and receiving some bitcoins back in return. This would give the subscription a higher ‘value’ and also promote its usage. However, it would be much more complex to build / operate and downloading would have to be limited per. user account and IP etc.
