Our gift to the world...
Bitboxes Concept - anonymous physical mailing addresses...
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/160454399/Bitboxes-Crypto-Physical-Anonymous-Mail-Boxes (no advertising - free document) - can't locate my original file and so have scanned a print.
(NEW ACCOUNT - SOMEONE CAN REPOST THIS TO A BETTER FORUM SECTION IF THEY FEEL SO INCLINED).
We considered running this as a business but already have far too much on the go. As a result, in the great tradition of Satoshi Nakamoto) we release it to the world for free. Very happy to participate in building the concept. Always happy to make some money too!
Wanna help or just donate to some good and like minded folk...

self-bumping.
whomever donated 0.001 BTC cheers! lol
BTW - personally, i'd rather we all flick to a different digital crypto-currency as, long run, BTC will have us burn every last barrel of oil and every last tonne of coal in chase of the all mighty dollar. Think Nakamoto realises this by his recent post somewhere in ripple land.

Probably. It is not quite as pretty but here is the text of it. OCR'd as i can't find the original file and edited a little because the urge to edit cannot be easily resisted...

- UTILIZATION OF CRYPTO PUBLIC/PRIVATE KEY PROTOCOLS TOWARDS A REAL WORLD SECURITY/ANONYMITY APPLICATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept: private mailboxes delivered without physical keys, without any human interaction, on timescales ranging from mere hours to several years, optional incoming filter, physical contact not required, entirely transferrable ownership, remote setup and potential for remote administration
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
BASE TEMPLATE: traditional private mailboxes ...
______________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------
eg: Mail Boxes Etc. offers convenient and secure Private Mail Box rentals. With an MBE mail box you use our street address so private carrier (UPS®, FedEx®, DHL®, Toll, Australian Air express etc.) deliveries are no problem… someone is always in the office at MBE!
Mail and packages from any country can be received and forwarded, and customers can be notified of the arrival of an item. Location is everything. And convenient locations are just one reason that people come to Mail Boxes Etc. for mailbox services.Our mail boxes offer you a real street address, not just a P.O. Box.
By giving your business mail a location, you’ll gain your clients’ confidence.
Mail box rates vary by location, service level and length of commitment — the longer you rent the better the value
MODIFICATIONS TO BASE TEMPLATE
_____________________________
-----------------------------------------------
MOD #001: keys
---------------------
Rather than use physical keys, the box relies on authentication via proof of access to private key. Sending from a Bitcoin address proves that you have admin access to the private key of that address. A transfer of BTC0.00022 to a specified address (pre-associated with a particular locker) unlocks it (or initiates another command function).
Mod #002: no humans
-----------------------------
With no physical keys, no humans are needed to administer the boxes - akin to public lockers at train -stations except with the addition of an addressing number like a PO Box.
Mod #003: custom timeframes
--------------------------------------
By transferring BTC to address for that locker, additional time can be booked/ paid-ahead. Boxes could be used like lockers (to store shopping or a handbag) and/or could be used as a permanent delivery address or a temporary needs-based one.
Mod #004: filtering deliveries
-------------------------------------
Want to filter deliveries? Simply engage the setting such that deliveries must be authenticated via providing the public key associated with the owner (ie. current renter) of the box
Mod #005: transferrable ownership
---------------------------------------------
Transfer the private key, transfer the rights. NB: system to liquidate current balance of rent paid ahead back to the receiving wallet and then time delay to move this to another address and reestablish ownership would be necessary (and not very complex). When humans are removed, so is the need to personally administer setup. Box vacancy rates published publicly online and boxes booked & securing at same time via payment.
Non-Mod #A: no physical contact required
------------------------------------------------------
Add-in existing mail-forwarding functionality (either human or robot administered) . Refer to existing technology/service offering of private mail boxes provides.
Non-Mod #B: mail delivery notifications
--------------------------------------------------
Add-in existing notification functionality (either human or robot administered) . Refer to existing technology/service offering of private mail boxes provides.

I don't want to use a mail forwarding service that I read about on the SR forums.. From a guy with no posts, to a clearweb link that requires javascript to download.. This sounds like a cool idea, but highly unstable.. Seems like it couldn't be anything other than LEO trying to concentrate illegal mail.
