Megaupload + Bitcoins

[lumeire]

We better wait for the product then, I'm thinking it's still like Storj but with the words he's using, it looks a different product all along.

[LeGaulois]

Bitcoin people are the most skeptical in the world. I understand why too but give him a chance. He is investing money, time and reputation. He is not a stupid man.

He is using his reputation to brag only. Making me think about Lady gaga

Its not even comparable. If he promised something for the near future and he didn't keep his promise , he won't have any good reputation left. I personally never seen anything from him that make disbelieve him. 20th January is in three days so we should wait and see how things goes and judge later.

He talked about using bitcoin but after several monthe he changed his minc if i am not wrong. As well, since how many time now the buzz with him and Bitcoin is running without any thing done
Over a year ? What is the latest news about him, as i didn't followed well what's was happening

This is a very ambitious project, but Kim Dotcom has already been able to deliver great products in the past. Maybe this time he succeeds in that. If it is something that can bring benefits to the ecosystem, I think people should support it. But I've read somewhere that for a project to be possible on this scale, it is necessary for SegWit to be activated first, which is something difficult under current circumstances.

Whats are the great products he delivered in the past .He just ran a cyber locker and that is the only project he has done and became notorious because of his extra ordinary life style and he was caught running the cyber locker and he is still facing legal issues from the US government.From what i hear he is under a new project apart from the cyber locker to start a cloud storage site.

Not necessarily, if he creates some sort of off-chain token system or if he works with companies like Xapo to handle the off-chain tx's. You will

only experience scaling issues when you use Bitcoin directly. {on-chain} If he is bargaining on SegWit to be implemented, then he would be

riding a dead horse. SegWit has a better change of surviving, if they can somehow implement it in LiteCoin.

He should stop thinking about Bitcoin and start finding a hole somewhere in Somalia or Botswana to crawl into. The U.S. will be granted extradition in 2017 and send him to an all expense paid luxury retreat if he doesn't disappear real soon.

I am struggling to see what problem this "solution" is fixing. Thst is what I am worried about.
Never mind anything else.

[ACAB]

Forget about MU, look into Purevidz. Its the future and a better project for crypto.

DYOR.

[veleten]

all we got to do is wait a couple of days and then critisize Kim if he fails
I don't think that Megaupload succeeding would be detrimental to bitcoin in any way
so its a win win scenario-either we have a good engine in MU to drive the price up,or we have all the rights to laugh at Kim and his failure

It's not fixing anything other than the bank account of mr Kim if this turns out to be a success. But I very much doubt that as there is simply no demand for something like this.

It will be similar to what has happened with the Gemini exchange from the Winklevoss twins, and what we have seen happen with OpenBazaar.

People were highly interested at first, but if you look right now to what they have become, then you can say that it didn't live up to people's expectations. MegaUpload is no exception.

I thought Kim Dotcom filed for bankruptcy years ago?

File transfers wouldn't need as much security or encryption as currency exchanges.

That could translate to a file transfer service based on blockchain technology being faster with more transactions per second.

I would guess that's what Kim Dotcom is referring to.

Even though bitcoin and Kim are two different factors, I think it would affect the bitcoin if he decides to pour all his money in such project. His moves will affect the price and user base and thus it is also associated with the goodwill of the bitcoin. Let's hope for the good future irrespective of the things happening in this sphere because ultimately bitcoin is going to lasts long.

So MU 2.0 is coming when exactly?
To be honest I don't believe it will have a great effect or impact on the Bitcoin price.
Why should people get their warez from a service which demands some certain amount of BTC, even if it is a very small one, when they can get it somewhere else for free?!
However let Kim Dotcom hype his stuff.Maybe he proves me wrong.

Wait and see what it will be all about, don't judge before the project will be ready.
You want to know about MegaUpload2.0 more then follow Kim's twitter, he is posting updated there very frequently.

How do you run this new piracy company with no data?

Megaupload's former hosting provider Leaseweb has deleted all Megaupload user data from 690 servers without warning. Petabytes of data are now lost forever. Kim Dotcom is outraged by the scandal and says this is what the U.S. Government was hoping would happen all along. "I'm furious about this betrayal, and extremely sad," Dotcom tells TorrentFreak.

It’s been a frustrating situation for the millions of affected users and one that has taken a turn for the worse today, with the news that Megaupload’s main hosting company has decided to delete all the data they had stored.

lol, I've also read the news about kim dotcom I think he can prove what he said was true, at least holds some bitcoin to view the latest news story about megaupload

Did you forget the "not" right in between the "can" and the "prove"? Because so far he only made bold predictions and failed or corrected them into less bold ones and pushed the release dates further into the future.

[OmegaStarScream]

Final countdown started , If he release information's about Bitcache and the idea is actually good and couldwork, people might go crazy and the buying start !

[the.jack20]

I think that any service that will advertise bitcoin should be supported. MegaUpload may have made a bad reputation in the past. I think Kim will get away with this negative reputation. The more bitcoin use increases, the higher the value will increase.
