I'm nearing feature completion of a command-line tool that I hope will enable me to pay my rent myself. There are many services that provide online stores; which would be the best for me?

I expect to provide installers for .deb and .rpm Linuxes (Linuces?), *BSD, Mac OS X and Windows. The user will select the platform, pay then download the installer.

I expect I'll provide a time-limited demo.

It won't have DRM as I'm convinced someone would just crack it. And really DRM sounds like a PITA from my perspective. The product will be inexpensive; I have the hope that most people would rather pay than have to figure out how to download a "liberated" product.

The eCommerce services I've checked out so far enable the sale of physical products as well as Software as a Service.

I am less concerned with the cost of my store provided I can still make a profit.

I'm not going to sell it through Apple's App Store because I don't want to deal with the sandbox. I expect most of my users will be comfortable with command-lines; I don't forsee them wanting to shop at the App Store.

I hope to go Alpha in a week.

[In consideration of other Soylentils who may have a product with a GUI, or even this submitter should they decide to add one, what other store(s) would you recommend? -Ed.]

    rent.

    Dteronomy 22 28-29, hebrew allows men to rape girl children and keep them.

    If you opposed Dteronomy (22, 28-29, hebrew) and you entice others to follow instead woman's democratic law. You MUST be killed on the spot according to Dteronomy.

    Not get paied.

    >In the United States, as late as the 1880s most States set the minimum age at 10-12, (in Delaware it was 7 in 1895).[8] Inspired by the "Maiden Tribute" female reformers in the US initiated their own campaign[9] which petitioned legislators to raise the legal minimum age to at least 16, with the ultimate goal to raise the age to 18. The campaign was successful, with almost all states raising the minimum age to 16-18 years by 1920.

    Here's a project you should try that doesn't beg for money while opposing the liberties given to men by the God.
