Abstract.  In order to fulfill further needs within the information goods market, ReQuest proposes creating a bounty bulletin board in order to incentivize the permanent publication of desired files. A user could post a Bitcoin[1] bounty requesting certain information, such as an FGC-9 .stl file, a coveted scientific pdf, an academic text file, or even data cables. This initial bounty would cover the publishing fees, as well as a service payment for fulfilling the bounty. If this data is simultaneously coveted by others, users could add to the bounty to increase the bounty odds of being fulfilled. This scheme could also be used to acquire a previously unavailable piece of data to seed a Durabit bond[2].
