so what happened to MegaUpload 2.0 and its revolution!

[Herbert2020]

back in 2016 i remember the hype of Megaupload 2.0 and KimDotcom saying
- it will be huge and break the internet, blah blah, revolutionize file sharing
- bitcoin will be $2000 because of it (this happened irregardless )
- start buying now

and all of it was supposed to be released in early 2017 and now we are mid way through the year and i don't see anything anywhere.
so what happened? was it postponed again or did they give up?
i think there was also a crowd funding? run away maybe?

Kim Dotcom have a reputation, he can't simply run with funds. The release was postponed but but the development is still active. He already shared a video about it a couple of months ago: https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/848731692638453761
We are still unsure about how is he planning to use Bitcache/Bitcoin on Megaupload but It definitely looks promising and the crowd-sale went just fine on BnkOfFuture

Then he did a crowdfunding like campaign for his Megaupload 2.0?

I hope it doesn't end as Star Citizen, or even worse, as No Man's Sky

mega.nz is already the most innovative file host. Utilizing encryption very well for the benefit of its users at its fullest potential. I don't see why you have to make a connection between the service and BTC, its creator is known to be kinda crazy so don't pay too much attention.

The project wasn't funded more then It should be and that's definitely a good thing, they reached the minimum goal and they could work from that: https://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/megaupload-2-bitcache

He is no longer affiliated with them. (Mega.nz) and that's why he is creating Bitcache and Megaupload 2.0

I'm aware of Kim Dotcom's new project that's in the works but what I'm trying to say is that mega.nz has already gone mainstram and any new cloud storage services counting on cryptography are unlikely to compete IMO, so an impact on the price is far from reality.

Since they are still in the development phase I think that they will be more focused in the security because it's like an exchange and the responsibility is very high and any hack that could happen is really dangerous, but the mega.nz hack should not demotivate us to use his upcoming service which I think will be awesome!

It's really been a while since we received an update from Kim. I think that he is working on his Bitcoin advancer though. I am pretty sure that he made a bunch of people money when he told people to purchase Bitcoin when it was 2016 since the price of it was low.

Yes good luck with it mate.
The NSA already got there backdoors wide open to collect all the data they need from you.
It's not a joke, i am really serious about it.

[BitHodler]

From the very beginning it was more than obvious that this was nothing more than an okay project 'lead' by a barking dog. That's what Kim is very good at, barking.

There are far more important things to focus on, like having SegWit activated this year, because that's really something that will have a major impact on the markets.

If MU 2.0 at some point manages to launch successfully, it will likely end up as OpenBazaar ~ high expectations at initial launch, big disappointment afterwards.

Well, that whole thing is really played out anyhow. NSA/CIA/MIB/etc who really cares since everything is wiretapped anyhow.

The people that lose in that game is the ones that cry out stating that they are being watched or he/she is being watched when we all know the truth already. We are just waiting.

The younger generation should have more technical skills if they actually read.

Most likely to be the case. Dont think if will launch will be at all, think is was just another big words from Kim. Anyway to much dust was in the project and to many expectation that it will be good project just words without any deeds, so if it comes to see light of the day I dont expect to see that much fuzz about. It will be like MU2 ok GL whit that or something similar.

[Tyrantt]

so what's assuring the the megaupload 2.0 won't end up like the first one? I mean it's working on the same principal as the first one, right? So what's the deal then? Shouldn't it be taken down as soon as it's online?

[Rinder]

Well there is a long time i dont see any news about those project, but that might be the nature, the promises were too much and the speculation about it remains high, one thing is sure the price has jumped a lot even without those project. Soo i really hope this project goes live, soo a big part of the world will know bitcoin.

To be honest I don’t see how this project could change anything, it will need to be revolutionary if he wants to take a part of the market from mega.nz, unless he has something up his sleeve that no one has ever seen then I do not think this is going to be successful at all no matter how much he tries to promote this project, the only good thing for him is that he was right about his prediction about bitcoin.

in theory what he is working on (based on the things that i have read so far on the project) will introduce bitcoin to a lot of people and opens up the way for file sharing community to add money to the whole thing. and that is a good thing both for bitcoin and for file sharers who want to monetize their contents.
how successful it will be in reality remains to be seen.

I think Megaupload 2.0 wont operate well without segwit. The way it was represented, it was almost like it was going to operate the same way as LN. A layer on top of BTC with the BTC blockchain used as the settlement layer.

No segwit, no Megaupload 2.0.

[jmigdlc99]

Why megaupload 2.0 when you have Siacoin (SC) as a better online file storage alternative? Jump on the SC hype now!

I guess he heard you, Kim DotCom took to Twitter and is now saying something will be happening in August.  Pity he didn't go into any detail, though.  Guess he's playing his cards close to his chest for now.
