Yes.  Clearly Dropbox doesn't give a shit about us.

That's how it seems.

Reoccuring payments are easier/more reliable with other payment protocols.  Bitcoin is great for payments initiated on the buyer-side, but not so great for seller-side initiated payments which are fundamental to subscription services.  We're making progress, but its not there yet.

Good point. They would almost need access to our wallet to process the transaction.

Subscriptions should not be a requirement for using a service, they are supposed to be convenient for the BUYER.  If I don't pay my electric bill, they turn it off, Dropbox could do the same until I pay up.

It's tough to "turn off" data storage.  How long should they keep the data before deleting it?  What happens if I forget to manually pay the bill and lose something really important?

Having automatic payments setup for the services I subscribe to IS convenient for the buyer....no?

Recurring payments in general are convenient for the buyer but "pulling" the money is mostly convenient for the seller. Recurring payments for services no longer used accounts for a large portion of any subscription based services revenue.  People forget to turn off the billing when they stop using a service.

Buyers can set up recurring payments through Bill Pay at their bank just as easily to "push" money to services they use.  Perhaps there is, or should be, a similar Bitcoin service to send payments to an address periodically.

As far as how long they should keep your data, that should be laid out in the terms of service.  If you don't pay and lose your data, that's on you.  This could happen anyway if your credit card is declined for some reason.

There isn't anyone left that really believes this is going to happen, right?

Meh they may be ignoring it but it's a sore thumb that sticks out and will make people look

Then again maybe they are just waiting on NSA approval
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data

"The NSA document indicates that it is planning to add Dropbox as a PRISM provider. The agency also seeks, in its words, to "expand collection services from existing providers."

Now I think its a game to see how high it will get, someone reading the list that hasn't heard of Bitcoin will be like, "what is this everyone wants?"

I'm finding it more difficult now to find people that haven't heard about Bitcoin because of all the mainstream media stories in the last year. I'm also finding it more difficult to find anyone willing to try Bitcoin because of all the mainstream media stories in the last year. The small group of people I know that are willing to try it now are the radical ones that would eat a steaming dog turd if you told them it would eliminate the government.

Quoted to have a good laugh if when it's there.

It will be at least several more months from now, or even several years if the folks at Dropbox are really stupid. But it's going to happen. ← Feel free to quote this too.

Sure and I really believe Dropbox is going to start Audiogalaxy back up any day now.

Oh, I believe in Leprechauns too. lol

Every company that adopts it helps!  :-)     And it is over 141k as of now.  Even if it "only" gets to number one and stays there, the publicity is good.  From my tech friends, many of heard of bitcoin.  From the non-tech people, not many have.

now hopeing its done and happen soon
