Now, this sounds like a perfect opportunity for the digital stamps we talked about using with anonymous mail servers. Stamps could be sold in different megabyte-day values. Say I've got 500 megs of gifs I want to hide for a month-- slap a 15000 m-d stamp on the file, and send it off.
The file could be retrieved using an id number from the stamp.
Cool. Another paradigm is to think of the Document Server as an anonymous digital safe deposit box server. A user could purchase, via anonymous digital cash, X megs of space up front, and then fill it up with whatever bits they wish. However, done this way, management of the contents of the box would be left to the user. Perhaps the service would offer specialized boxes for different types of contents. Just random thoughts (well, not provably random thoughts, of course). Jim_Miller@suite.com
