Title: New Megaupload [Coming 20 January] no word on bitcoin? Post by: WikileaksDude on November 01, 2012, 01:52:27 AM So it seems that megaupload is coming back.. this is not recent news..
Their new domain will be http://me.ga ( Which re-directs atm to http://kim.com/mega/ ) So far no word on bitcoin.. For those who can't access the site due to traffic load, here's some key info: Easy Privacy In the past, securely storing and transferring confidential information required the installation of dedicated software. The new Mega encrypts and decrypts your data transparently in your browser, on the fly. You hold the keys to what you store in the cloud, not us. Online Mega Manager Before, you had to install the Mega Manager on every computer you used Megaupload from. Now, high-speed parallel batch uploading and downloading with resume capability are integral parts of the Mega website. Live Global Cloud File System Before, you had to create and update file folders manually. Now, you have a true cloud file system at your fingertips, including cross-account folder sharing for easy online collaboration. You can even access your cloud drive as a file system mount or drive letter! Multi-centric data warehousing Before, we operated only a handful of storage nodes located in expensive premium data centers. Now, thanks to encryption, we can connect a large number of hosting partners around the world without worrying about privacy breaches. Our servers will be closer to our customers. This will result in faster data transfers. MEGA IS LOOKING FOR INVESTORS We have raised sufficient funds to cover the launch, but we would like to provide Mega free of charge for as long as possible. If you would like to be part of the success story, please get in touch. ----------------- Bitcoin & Mega http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/07/12/kim-dotcoms-pretrial-legal-funds-would-be-safe-with-bitcoin/ http://siliconangle.com/blog/2012/07/11/paypals-abandonment-of-major-cyberlockers-may-become-bitcoins-big-win/ https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/222759825526890496 ( Kim Dotcom looking for payment alternatives ) How should we approach them in matters related to bitcoin?

Post by: Luno on January 09, 2013, 09:16:41 AM Megaupload and Bitcoin is a match, but also a terrible idea publicity wise!
If Bitcoin was a private business what do you think the manager would think about such a suggestion even if it is a large market. Do you guys think that one of the pending hardware wallet producers would give away promotional wallets for free to drug dealers and educate them about Silk Road as a publicity stunt?

Post by: nevafuse on January 09, 2013, 08:09:11 PM This client-side encryption model is awesome. I remember looking for pastebin-like sites that did the same thing & it was kinda hard to find a good one. Applying the same idea to binary is great. I wonder what took so long for this to be standard.
Despite not having access to content, I'm sure the password will leak out for shared illegal content. I wonder if this will still create the same situation for dotcom again.

Luckily Bitcoin is not a private business. ::) The market will decide if this is good publicity: Press 2012-6-13: "Bitcoin, the currency of choice for on-line drug dealers and money laundring, has found a new niche; copyright infrigement and child porn. CEO of the reborn Megaupload, Kim dotcom, is reviveing his business after last years bust by the FBI which left him with all his assets frozen. To circumvent monetary reprisals, he now accept Bitcoin for all his services on megaupload. - "Megaupload coustomers have the added benefit of not having to worry about being traced through their transactions with Megaupload, no matter what kind of material they upload", Kim Dotcom says. Do we need the above? Title: Re: New Megaupload [Coming 20 January] no word on bitcoin?

Do we need the above? Yes, desperately. It's certainly no worse than Silk Road with drugs and whatever else the corporate media claims one can buy there.. And Bitcoin should be used wherever it fits it's use case. |
