That's pretty fantastic.

As somebody predicted it took less than 10 days to get some resaler do it.

So what will happen now?
DO you think it will impact BTC price?

How can they possibly provide that much for so cheap?

2 TB space and 4 TB bandwidth for $20 a month? Drop box, google storage, any of that at higher rates can't touch that price. Too bad they promote it so much for illegal stuff because that would be nice to use for legitimate backup space.

Not that much.
The Reseller accepts bitcoin. But there is NO advertisment or talking about it. except here.

we need "new!" people to bitcoin.... so mega or the reseller should tell the people what bitcoin is.

true

Maybe someone diplomatic representation of us should ask this reseler and maybe even mega to place some signs that they accept bitcoins?

I'll try, and correct me if my English is bad:

"
Dear hosting.co.uk crew
I want to ask if it is possible to place in some visible place graphical information abaut accepting bitcoin on your page?

I'm sure that it would greatly increase your sales, because there is hude intrest about that.
Unfortunately now you cant's notice it on the first glance ande even my friend who get link to your site ignored my info about you accepting BTC because of that.
I believe that if you make it easily visible it will bring lots of clients to you.

Hey I want to buy your shit. I googled bitcoin and found bitcointalk.org is that wtf you're talking about? If so, why don't you put some info on your site so I can figure this shit out without having to contact you first?

But when DOJ decides to shut them down, my backups are gone. Sure their new plan is to make them unstoppable but my fears of what the gov can do... make me think that kim likes putting a bullseye on his back.

Looks like that.
You can put some fake info if there is sth. needed.


But there is some disturbing info I have read today, that mega already deleted dome files because of law was against it. I don't know the details but.. you know.

Dear Mega crew
I would like to ask you, if you could let people know that it is possible now to pay for your service with bitcoin with http://www.hosting.co.uk/mega.php
It is quite deep there (in the last step), but lots of people are looking for that and it would make you many customers if it just could be more visible and easier to find.

It is not possible like they did before because it is now out of their jurisdiction.
Even TLD .co.nz

If they want it out of all jurisdiction they could always get a .bit domain. Just because it isn't "in" their jurisdiction doesn't mean that they can't apply rules to it making it in their jurisdiction or inflicting harm. Kim's a running bulls-eye and my original point was that although the price is incredible, I wouldn't want to use it for legitimate purposes because it will eventually have troubles. I am in the United States, so even if that trouble is they force all US ISP's to block it, I would still be negatively effected and unable to use it for legitimate purposes.

unfortunately you're right they could force ISP to block it and it is weakness of this tech.

marcus_of_augustus,   do you plan to offer vouchers for the 99 euro (yearly) plan? 

I was ready to buy from the first reseller mentioned but they require my address? F**K that Sh*t.

Unfortunately I can't log on at the moment. It says my password is wrong even though I'm sure it not. I tried another account and it works fine.

Ummm, my link leads you to the reseller who deals only in bitcoin for MEGA vouchers ... and AFAIK, you will not need to input any details besides sending the bitcoins ... maybe an email address.

I was referring to https://www.hosting.co.uk/ that asks you for your address, even if you pay with bitcoin.

It doesn't matter anyway. I did a test upload of a 1GB movie to Mega and now I can't download it. It acts like it is downloading the whole file, then when it gets to the end - "ENCRYPTION ERROR".  So I can't trust Mega at this point.  That, and the fact that I can't login to my main account even though I used a password manager to store the password, so I'm sure it's correct.
