The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Look at how much faster the blockchain is growing with a popular service such as SatoshiDice, which only caters towards Bitcoin users. Now imagine a giant such as MegaUpload, which caters to a much much wider audience, starts using Bitcoin. The blockchain growth would be out of control. Coming up with and implementing features to keep the blockchain growth in check should be top priority right now in my opinion.

I added a tweet: https://twitter.com/FerrohDotCom/status/223042058900877314As for other's concerns of the blockchain -- I think we should keep that out of this thread, this issue has been addressed many times. In the short term -- just dont download the blockchain. In the long term, a better solution will be implemented. For now, we can afford a few extra gigabytes on the chain, especially since the influx of bitcoin users would create plenty of incentive to implement a shorter blockchain solution faster.

Who do you think was downloading all those HD movies of several GBs on MegaUpload? The blockchain is smaller than one of those HD movies - dont even look at those 20GB+ BR rips. And there are tons of web sites out there, where people watch movies in realtime, streaming it. And you really thing someone cares about a few GB?

But can't really comment much on that, I'm having severe existential crisis because hating mainstream is nowadays too mainstream, and I can't deal with myself any more having problems like this.

This. Also those worried about Bitcoin growing too fast ... don't. Growth which is "too fast" can't happen in a free market. It can only happen where artificial subsidies (i.e govt, Federal Reserve, natural monopolies) prevent the free market from functioning properly to curb growth. If bitcoin popularity outpaces the technical development (solutions for blockchain size, processing cost, wallet ease of use) then that technical deficiency will act as a constraint to slow further growth. It also creates a huge financial incentive to build better solutions.

Until bitcoin gets very big the problem is cashing it out to fiat. Thats the point of failure and as such the government can just seize it there, or tax it or whatever.
Small time, it's easy to use for whatever.
To depend on it for sizeable income or for a large business would kill you.

Don't know how much protection they need, but with TOR they could operate like SR... although likely only for torrents.. Perhaps just saving funds as BTC and switching servers now and then would be enough.

from @KimDotcom Megabox is coming within the next 4-6 months. We are making good progress. This innovation is going to make a lot of people happy! from @coinlab to @KimDotcom We can make a custom-branded MegaBox bitcoin-mining client. Your customers can earn songs with their idle computers. Emailed you Something very interesting is about to happen Ugh, that's such a terrible model. Already CPUs and random GPUs can't make much, and it sets people up to think Bitcoin is a thing that slows down your computer and doesn't actually get you anything valuable inside of a decade. Is that right? Using marginal amounts of power per machine, a HUGE pool of GPUs+CPUs wouldn't have any effect?

It baffles me how they managed to score $500,000 in seed funding.

Not for the single persons in that pool... Imagine 10000 users mine enough to buy ~5 songs every day - would you want to be number 10001?

i am also sceptical the coinlabs model will work in the light of modern FPGAs, and possibly soon ASICS. maybe it was a good idea 6 Months ago, but the coming massive diffculty increase with reward halving makes it look like a weak model. unless you count people overpaying by 15x with their electricity for music/games.

If every Wii sold had a 3.5Gh/s mining ASIC inside it that drew negligible amounts of power, the resulting network security would be absolutely immense. If Megabox could pull off something like this, it would be epic.

Until bitcoin gets very big the problem is cashing it out to fiat. Thats the point of failure and as such the government can just seize it there, or tax it or whatever.
Small time, it's easy to use for whatever.
To depend on it for sizeable income or for a large business would kill you.
Nobody needs to depend on it, and this is an important point. To add Bitcoin support doesn't mean to remove other payment methods. If a company accepted BTC, then BTC got impeded in some way, then the company is no worse off than before it accepted BTC.

Why do you anticipate a difficulty increase with reward halving in december ? Unless the BTC price doubles, I would anticipate the opposite, miners dropping out. Only FPGAs and ASICS will cause a (gradual) difficulty increase but we may not see it until mid 2013. Right now, difficulty is below were it was a year ago.

Kim Dotcom needs ISP with big farm for his services, so the first thing that you have to do is convince an ISP that accept Bitcoin as payment. After that Kim Dotcom will be really happy to accept Bitcoin as payment system. Convincing Kim Dotcom is the last step.

So if someone repeats FUD long enough it will magically turn true? The blockchain size is only a hypothetical issue. Even my cellphone could handle a full client for the next few years.
Back to subject, I hope the Kim realizes that when he had done MegaUpload using Bitcoins, the FBI would had a hard time freezing those.
This sort of reminds me of the guy who said that the worldwide demand for computers would be four or five, and they guy who decided that 4x10^6 IPv4 addresses should be plenty. The chief difference is that the guys who made these two mistakes give every indication of having been clever people who understood the technology and the market space. But thanks for reminding me that I would prefer that I would like my store of wealth to be more reliable than my cell phone service so my speculative bet is in Bitcoin and my nest egg is something else. And I suspect that Mr Dotcom will have as little trouble as almost anyone at assessing the pros, cons, possible risks, and likely rewards of adopting Bitcoin. But it won't hurt to bless him with your wisdom I suppose. Maybe he'll caught up a consultant's fee out of thankfulness...but don't hold your breath.

There are enough. More than enough, even with rich companies hogging entire address ranges with their class A networks. It's called NAT. So anyway, I've read through this and the articles online and it seems he is completely ignoring the bitcoin suggestions and everyone is ignoring that he is ignoring them. I don't use twitter though. Thoughts on this?

My only intention was to convey my own understanding and ask for clarification. Can we please be civilized here? Anyway, I don't see a link that says "27 retweets" (even ctrl+f on the page).

He likes encryption http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/10/megaupload-mega/Dotcom, and his Mega partner Mathias Ortmann say the difference is that now those files will first be one-click-encrypted right in a client’s browser, using the so-called Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. The user is then provided with a second unique key for that file’s decryption. Dotcom says that according to his legal experts, the only way to stop such a service from existing is to make encryption itself illegal. “And according to the U.N. Charter for Human Rights, privacy is a basic human right,” Dotcom explains. “You have the right to protect your private information and communication against spying.”
