Payment per download with Bitcoin Lightning
With FileBazaar, payments per download like digital data such as photos, videos or music can be sold on the Internet for a few cents.
By selling individual files for a few cents, digital content producers and providers can generate new revenue streams.
Payment per download with Bitcoin Lightning is implemented with Lightning Charge in combination with FileBazaar from C-Lightning.
Per pay-per-view, customers are shown a preview image.
As soon as the customer has paid via Lightning, he gets immediate access to the file.
Requirement for payment per download
You need to be able to settle payment per download with Bitcoin Lightning:
- Own BTCPay server
- Lightning Node
- C-Lightning implementation
- Lightning Charge https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning-charge
- FileBazaar https://github.com/ElementsProject/filebazaar
After Lightning Charge is set up, tools (exiftool, ffmpeg, graphicsmagick, unoconv) are set up to protect the data and release it only after payment.
You create a simple configuration file which communicates with the Lightning Charge Server. In the file the price is set to the individual files.
