abemassry··on Dropbox Uploader: Bash script to upload, download, list, delete from Dropbox
check out https://wsend.net I just launched it and it might be what you're looking for. It is anonymous for small files, but you can purchase an account if you'd like to support the service. I would greatly appreciate any feedback and or purchasing of an account. Thanks!
abemassry··on Mega, the new MegaUpload, to launch on January 19
I did something very similar with https://truefriender.com/ with a shared key and a private key. If you added a friend you would have the shared key and could then decrypt the content. The content however was invisible to me. I couldn't monetize or get people interested, but I learned a lot from it.
abemassry··on TL;DR — Faster News
Did something very similar to this in node with socket.io realtime updates. http://mashrd.com/
abemassry··on Show HN: aes.io - secure storage/collaboration with client-side JS crypto
I went full server side encryption with https://truefriender.com I relied on SSL for the client to server communication. However the user holds a key that is not stored on the server, so without that key the text on the server is unreadable, if you try entering an incorrect PIN you can see what I mean.

I've submitted to HN but didn't make the front page, check it out if you're interested in this stuff.

abemassry··on Common problems with large file uploads
I ran into this problem with https://truefriender.com/ the solution I used was to use nginx instead of apache, nginx streams the file to disk and then I can handle it with PHP. I still have the 2GB problem but I've tested out Perl and I can go past it, now I just have to implement it.
abemassry··on An Encrypted Social Network
Yeah it is a very hard sell, the only thing I can offer is 5GB of storage with encryption. It is for people who are concerned about privacy, but don't have the tech knowhow or who just want something that works simply, like going to any other website. Thanks for checking it out and giving me some feedback.
