On Sites with CAPTCHA and Paypal Requirements

SOMEONE PROPOSES a few other possible ways in which Bitcoin could be useful. Satoshi’s reply addresses the one regarding websites with both CAPTCHA and PayPal requirements.

The Niche List

Posted by kiba, September 23, 2010, 04:00:16 PM

This is Operation Economic Growth. Our mission is to grow the bitcoin economy by making everyone specialize in a narrow range of good and services.

Simply put, announce what you want to consume and I’ll add it to the list. Somebody then will announce that he will try to enter that niche. There can be competition within niches too, but there are other niches to fill.

We’ll hold those people “accountable” for their niches by plodding, encouraging, starting a thread and then getting disappointed when the service didn’t come online etc.

Wanted Niches:

1. craigslist like classified ads for locale.

2. “Mechanical Turk”-like site that list simple jobs for people to do. Suggested by noagendamarket in the Stable Exchange Rate? topic of the Economic forum.

3. Beer supply store. Malt, yeasts, hops, etc.

4. Plant store for selling various herbs and stuff.

6. Hacker Academy. Free educational video. Flat tutiion fee classes. Pay as you go for personal tutors.

7. Dating site that accept bitcoins.

8. Easy encryption and backup service.

Niche filled or being worked on:

2. Download site like rapidshare and other crappy host.Inconvenient captcha and required paypal. Bitcoin can possibly take both roles and streamline the whole process. Suggested by Kiba. Taken by Hippich. Eventually sprawned 3 competitors.

3. Freelancer site. Taken by whichspace.

4. Pizza order system. You can order on the web, from the commandline, from your smartphone, sms, etc. Taken by mizerydearia.

Repeating myself here, but there is open source software forthat, so it would just be a matter of bolting on a Bitcoin payment mechanism. One good one I found was Mihalism Multi Host. It’s designed as a free host, so it would just need a few tweaks to loosen up restrictions consistent with paid use.
