The idea of an online store with p2p-ideology
The theme of the post is inspired by listening to the latest podcast of Radio-T, or rather, by the news that the new owners of Pirate Bay are going to make torrents paid, whatever that means from their point of view.
The idea spun around for a while in my head, after which it was reborn into a thought. I myself will hardly be doing this, but if someone finds an idea useful I will be glad.
The tracker technology is excellent for selling software (in fact, not only software, but generally any content in electronic form). It is implemented elementarily: it is enough to organize a tracker instead of the usual download-server with content and software, after which the following becomes realizable:
A user buys software (ok, a unit of electronic content) at a regular price, that is, without any discounts. Receives a torrent file and downloads the purchased, after which he gets up for distribution (or does not get up; for him, in this case, the purchase is no different from that made in a regular online store).
And here the fun begins. When selling a product through a resource at a regular price, the seller agrees that he receives funds in the amount (price minus a wholesale discount) - in most cases this discount can reach (20-25)%. But this discount is divided between Internet tracker the store and the users standing in the distribution - the “layout” of which user how much a particular buyer has downloaded is extremely easy to get.
As a result, customers who distribute content receive money for distribution, and the store minimizes its own traffic. At the same time, no one bothers the store owner in the same way to get up for distribution and receive additional funds. Well, as an additional bonus, there may be a (not) large community making money from hands and, respectively. interested in the wide promotion of the resource.

I apologize if it turned out a little messy. If anyone is interested - knock, I will try to formulate more clearly. Well, if necessary, we will count together.
