I've made a simple app to sell your files for LN-BTC

So basically, you can upload files and sell it for bitcoin (Lightning network). Just upload the file (or files), give the link to the person that would like to buy something from you, get paid, withdraw anytime, immediately.

Simple as that.

https://poof.run

Should mention that the app was made for Desktop-use, mobile view is broken, sorry.

Actually, I've created it few years ago, but just never really promoted to anyone except few posts on reddit.

Just to be cautious, don't keep the earned sats for too long, just in case something happens as it is custodial service. Hacks/stuff happen. It's my hobby project. No warranties as they say :)

This is how it works:

As there is no "accounts", no sign-ups or logins, "semi-anonymous", I've implemented this called - "key" system. Key is like an account. For every download that someone pays, you get paid straight to that key. Later, or whenever you want, by using that key, you can withdraw your earned money.

The flow is like this:

1) Upload a file, copy and save the generated key to your secret location - it should be never leaked or posted somewhere.

2) After an upload you also will get the download link. Post that link with your file you want to sell in forums, chats and wait for purchases.

3) When ready, you can withdraw (or check balance) your money through https://withdraw.poof.run to your lightning wallet instantly.

Let's say you want to upload more files to sell, same flow applies, just this time, rather than using website-generated key (if you want ofc), you can edit it and paste your previously generated key to get paid to the same key. (same account)

Give it a try, suggestions are welcome.

Why was BCH created, when the big block community had the opportunity to join Monero (or other coins)?

Okay, so first of all, full disclosure: I dont own BCH, i dont even like BCH, and I dont ask this as a person who is likely to change either of those things. I am strictly a Monero person, at this time. But I am curious, because BCH encompasses a higher market cap than Monero at this time, and a large portion of liberty-minded individuals. And its just a question Ive never thought to ask straightforwardly. (Also this doesnt have to be strictly about Monero, there were other coins at the time too like Dash, but I want to focus on Monero.)

Monero was created in 2014, BCH 3 years later in 2017.

If this isnt a strawman, I believe the sole or at least main reason for forking was to increase the blocksize limit, to allow for onchain scaling. Okay. But Monero already solved this problem with the automatic blocksize limit. And this is a particularly novel solution, because it solves both sides of the equation: It prevents spam by keeping the ceiling close to usage, and it prevents consensus failure of increasing the limit in the future, since its automatic.

Now I could just stop here, because the blocksize limit seems to be the main point of contention in BCH. If so, how did Monero not fix it? Why was BCH needed?

(And its not like Monero is some random coin, its been the privacy coin, the darknet coin, and the cryptoanarchist coin for years. Fair distribution, adoption, and strong track record.)

I dont want to go on a long spiel detailing every reason why i think Monero solves every importantly solvable blockchain problem ever, because im sure i will have plenty of time engage with such ideas in the comments. But I would like to generally know why 1) You did not want to join Monero instead of create BCH and 2) Why your preference still lies with BCH?

Heres some examples of responses:

A) Didnt know Monero existed (and still doesnt? idk)

B) Ideologically opposed to privacy by default?

C) It has to be Bitcoin? (Leftover maximalism type of feelings? Or emotional attachment?)

Idk this really all that comes to me at the top of my head. Im having a hard time imagining what the reasons could be.

Feel free to list 1 to 3 solid reasons. Nonnegotiables. Please no "I like Monero too i just like BCH more" responses with no substantiation, i would like cold hard data. If you have a criticism of Monero, give it to me hot.

Also please avoid long lists of negotiables, with no single strong reason (nonnegotiable) tying it all together. Creating a long list of loosely cohesive reasons for something is usually argument with poor structural integrity, aka coming up with reasons to meet parity with ones feelings.

Anyways, interested to hear the responses.
