so his praised solution to the transaction problem is a centralized service. doesn't sound so promising to me. i guess we will see if he releases more details.

If I understand what he's going for correctly, he wants to solve some of the transaction speed issues or something? Because aside from that unless he's focusing on the aspect of scalability primarily (which could be solved by large block sizes if it ever becomes a big issue) there isn't much he's offering to bring to the table.

why it does not sound promising, in my opinion it already is promising that it will use bitcoins and it is really great as it will give bitcoin more popularity for sure

Yes, but remember the main reason that Megaupload got shut down was because they were paying users. Investigators were able to prove that the company was giving payouts to accounts brining in large amounts of traffic. If they have any sort of payment system, they will have to be VERY careful about what they are taking payments for, or the government will argue that people are paying to download files that are known to be illegal.

Even when steam starting to accept bitcoin there,s no impact on bitcoin but just a very small price increasing,i guess you don't what is megaupload exactly and why megaupload had been seized by U.S government few years back

Just one question though. Why is Megaupload brought down while others are still there and kicking some ass. Wow that was exactly said by me. "kicking some ass" We all know what this is.

Has Kim said anything about re-implementing this system? I think he's big announcement is that somehow he's gonna develop a similar system like this in the past but with BTCBTCBTC payouts for uploaders.

I am not really sure if filehoster advertising with a big bitcoin concept would be such a good thing for bitcoin. The public opinion concerning filehosters is, that in general they have to do something with software or film piracy. And that would put a bad light on bitcoin as well. If Dotcom wants to creat a bitcoin concept, ok. But I wished he would not make a big deal about it. Might attract a lot of negative publicity, especially in the US.

Besides, it's one more biggy in the race and may possibly contribute significantly to the increase in bitcoin's value. Although I fear mega actually having great influence to bitcoin's value, to consider any possible impact on bitcoin value appreciations.

I have used their services in the past and this was needed to keep them afloat. If a company that offers such services to the public for free wishes to keep operational they have to employ a way to create revenue in order too continue to survive.

I'll stay cautious until I get to know more about how it'll indeed work, but so far it seems to bring attraction and new possible uses for BTC. A lot of people who use megaupload will learn about BTC and people who're invested into BTC may be able to use their BTC in these new possibilities through megaupload.

Kim Dotcom is full of surprises. I hope he knows what he's doing.
yeah, i hope it wasnt just talks and we will see bitcoins accepted in megaupload pretty soon, that would be definitely good to bitcoin i hope only for good bad is just not in my book for now just to be half of what he said i would be happy yeah, that would definitely be enough though it might be just the rumors and nothing might happen either
