文件托管和代理服务的想法

当你想上传一张图片嵌入论坛帖子时，有 imageshack 之类的服务，但因为它们是免费的，所以会限制浏览次数。这点带宽成本微不足道，但它们不能就这样白白提供，总得能从中得到些好处。要是能为带宽付费并避开这些限制就好了，但传统支付对于这么小的事情来说太不方便了。
如果你想上传一个文件让别人下载，情况会更糟。有 rapidshare 之类的服务，但它们要求下载者经历额外的步骤和等待，以便让他们看广告或鼓励他们升级为付费订阅，而且还把下载次数限制在 10 次左右。
如果我们为一种收取比特币费用的图片和文件托管服务编写一些免费的 PHP 代码，那会很不错。任何还有富余带宽配额的人都可以把它放到自己的 Web 服务器上运行。用户终于可以支付一小笔费用来补偿带宽成本，并避开限制和麻烦。理想情况下，它应该采用 MIT 许可证或置于公有领域。
这样的服务对匿名用户会很有帮助，因为他们难以为各种东西付款。

When you want to upload an image to embed in a forum post, there are services like imageshack, but because they're free, they limit the number of views. It's a minuscule amount of bandwidth cost, but they can't just give it away for free, there has to be something in it for them. It would be nice to be able to pay for the bandwidth and avoid the limits, but conventional payments are too inconvenient for such a minor thing.
It's worse if you want to upload a file for others to download. There are services like rapidshare, but they require the downloaders to go through extra steps and delays to make them look at advertising or encourage upgrading to a paid subscription, and they limit it to 10 or so downloads.
It would be nice if we made some free PHP code for an image and file hosting service that charges Bitcoins. Anyone with some extra bandwidth quota could throw it on their webserver and run it. Users could finally pay the minor fee to cover bandwidth cost and avoid the limits and hassles. Ideally, it should be MIT license or public domain.
Services like this would be great for anonymous users, who have trouble paying for things.
