Well if he's using it and singing its praises then that's good enough, though having him associated with it is one more way the gov will attack it.

I have a bad feeling about this. Look at what happened to Megaupload. This guy became rich and amassed hundreds of millions of $$$, while the data of the users got deleted. He never bothered about his affiliates.

He had no choice with Megaupload, did he? Blame the US govt not Kim.

Obviously you think that storing data in a cloud is safe, which is retarded. Don't do that with BTC or anything else or you will be goxxed.

Btw. I have a feeling Kim filled up his wallets with cheap coins and now he's pumping, but that's fair enough, he wasn't the only one, so many bears on this forum and in China did the same ... Cheesy

Truth is the new hatespeech.

Speaking of singing and praising, HakaCoin comes to mind. HakaCoin: The coin that screams back!



HakaCoin: The only currency in the world where the merchant is forced to take it.

The way I see it, there's marketing options up the ass associated with this coin.

I am confused. A few days ago, Kim Dotcom was saying that he will create his own altcoin, and popularize it through his new file-sharing service Mega.  Now he is saying that he will stick to Bitcoin. What to believe now?

Alt coins are about to become obsolete, with the introduction of Bitcoin Sidechains by the creator of HashCash - (the biggest influence on Satoshi himself when creating Bitcoin).

Some Alt coins will still exist.
Hopefully we will see less new crap.

I hope so. One of the reasons behind he Chinese altcoin boom was that the investors thought that they were much cheaper than the Bitcoin. Anyway..... then BTC was $1,200. Now it is $465. So not that expensive anymore.

Actually more pos coins are being made now than before. People are finally twigging to the PeerCoin model.

PeerCoin may replace BTC, or at least BTC may have to adopt POS+POW.

Another option would be POR (proof of resource, see MaidSafe).

The question is however if the specific proof model is that important as long as it can't be forged. I think existing adoption is far more important.

If you watch the episode of the Keiser Report Kim was on a few months ago, he:
1. Stated he had nothing to do with megacoin
2. When asked about crypto, he was very coy with Max. Max drew him out and Kim said that he could be planning something big for the crypto world.

I mean, it only makes sense. He works in encrypted file uploads & hates governments. He will for sure be doing something in decentralised crypto world, but he is a businessman and is not just going to spill the beans until it happens. That's certainly the impression I got from the interview.

Well, Kim's a lot of talk, and he's famous for enriching himself. Don't hold your breath that he would actually work honestly to improve the life of the general population. The drivers seems to be his own ego, and what he can achieve for himself.

In the free market, you only get richer by improving other people's life.

Today if I tell all my colleagues about bitcoin, they would laugh. In a few years, they wouldn't see me as a clown.
