Just a little announcement to say that Pixeldrain (a file sharing website) now accepts Monero for its prepaid subscription option. Minimum deposit is $10.

I’m not paid or anything, it’s just a website that I like that is developed by a solo developer (+ they open sourced a big part of the website). After begging for some time they accepted and added Monero to their BTCPay server.

I was surfing the high seas boy it was torrential...and noticed one site accepted only Bitcoin for donations. I laughed so hard.

That’s the case for a lot of website, highlighting the importance of asking for Monero support!

That's cool but all the cool people run their own file shares...

Unless you want to share less legal stuff 👀

That's what torrents are for

Torrents are 💤 + slow + require seeders + require VPNs

While direct download on-demand you can pay in Monero is sure indeed, you can't say torrenting's slow 😅

Or it means your file don't have interest to be seeded like a node can prime it's blockchain 😉

edit: also, if you don't use a VPN or providing a hidden-service, a user is taking same risks than downloading a torrent if your site goes sanctioned.

Never saw a single user (not uploader) receiving some kind of sanction in my country. Only uploaders are targeted
