[Bradford] paid Download solution

[Alice Kaerast]

I'll just leave this link here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_accept_Bitcoin,_for_small_businesses

But I'd also second Bandcamp; it's nice and simple, and you can let
people pay what they can afford if you wish.  You can always migrate
to something more sophisticated later if you find that it doesn't do
enough for you, but start lean.  Definitely don't start doing any
actual development work until you've at least sold a few downloads.

Regards
Alice
