Re: [Announce] "Pay What You Want" at CoinDL - downloads marketplace, Bitcoin-only
As did I. As I've been in-and-out of the Bitcoin scene for months now, I was not aware that this site even existed until 20 minutes ago, when I came upon it via BitVisitor. Dunno why I even use BitVisitor since it pays out maybe a penny at most per 5-minute website visit, but this time I'm glad I did since it introduced me to CoinDL, and this album. I'm not exactly a music buff, but the closest thing I can compare it to is the entirety of the album "The Hazards of Love" by The Decemberists. Either way, I liked what I heard in the previews, so I bought it. Wouldn't have heard of them at all if it wasn't for Bitcoin 
This site, at least from my cursory glance at it, appears to be one of those perfect applications of Bitcoin, as a sort of replacement for iTunes for those willing to accept Bitcoin as payment, and going after the indie music scene is a fantastic idea for that. I'll comment more once I peruse the site more to see what else people have to offer.
CoinDL here actually makes me excited to spend Bitcoins on actual goods and services again rather than treating it like a stock, much the same way that BitcoinTorrentz does.
Bitvisitor has been driving quite a bit of traffic to the site and paying out of their own pocket. It'll be interesting to see what sort of residual impact they will have had if/when they stop. So thanks to them for leading you here and thanks to you for the testimonial.

About Alco, I kid you not, I listened to them in the shower this morning. Having enjoyed the album several times it sort of makes you wonder about the entire industry. There's just not enough time for a person to weed through everything themselves. I have no doubt there are a thousand hidden gems that are waiting to be discovered. If CoinDL can help do that, that's a huge bonus on top of everything else Bitcoin has to offer.
It is a pleasure helping creative folks lead not just with their works but with how they distribute them.
