Press the link that says "27 Retweets" and you'll see him listed there. It's also on his Twitter timeline.
You wanted him to take a picture of him jumping and saying "yupiee, bitcoin"?

If he decides to use Bitcoin he better keep it for himself. You'll know when he launches his site.
If he really thinks Bitcoin is an option I'm sure Twitter won't be the place where he'll do his reasearch.

Resuming, you're just talking out of your ass.

No need to insult me. I'm not talking out of my ass. I am talking as someone who doesn't use twitter. I sincerely apologize if I have offended or annoyed you or somehow seemed argumentative. 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). I assume it's because I don't have a twitter account so probably getting a different kind of page. It's good news he's retweeting then Smiley

NAT is the answer to limited IPv4 addresses in a similar way to buses being an answer to not enough automobiles.  Buses work fairly well, reduce the pain of lack of transportation, and have some advantageous side effects, but at the end of the day there are some significant annoyances, complications, and lack of flexibility.  In network-land these are particularly noticeable today's (hopefully more) p2p-centric environments.  Ah well...after several decades IPv6 seems to be gaining some traction.

I'd love a debate Smiley but probably don't want to change the topic of this forum. If you want to continue, feel free to pm me. Metaphors are unnecessary (as I am a network engineering student) and I usually find them confusing and distracting. Not to mention the holes in your metaphor.

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?


How can he be ignoring those suggestons if he is retweeting them? Huh
Have you seen him retweet any other payment provider suggestion besides Bitcoin?
He also retweeted Matonis article on Forbes. https://twitter.com/ForbesTech/status/223409880755740672

I thought that was forbes, some business news site, not him. Are you saying he owns forbes? I don't see the part from your link where it is him retweeting it.

As I said, I don't use twitter so I haven't seen any tweets. But I have seen the forbes article that was tweeted there.

My basis for what I am saying comes mainly from this thread, where I have seen no one say anything like:

"he's tweeted his interest in bitcoin"
"he's tweeted that bitcoin could be an option and has asked for more suggestions"
"he's decided to use bitcoin"

stuff like that.

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. ...

There are enough. More than enough, even with rich companies hogging entire address ranges with their class A networks. It's called NAT.

I was trying to make more of a joke commenting on my opinion of twitter than anything  Grin

But if he is actually seeming interested, all the better.

My reply was more to the poster you were replying to than to you, sorry about the confusion.
Edited my post for clarity.

Wat
When it comes down to it bitcoin is the only choice that he can use that a government somewhere cant seize so it should be really attractive to him. If he supports it I will be so buying a megabox.

I just figured he was the average twitter user: just scream endless into the void and hope someone cares....without actually caring what others on twitter say Cheesy

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.

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.

Thread jacking: Why are paypal trying to kill themselves with dropping so many sites?

They must be aware of BTC, yet they push users towards it.

They are being "persuaded" by MPAA/RIAA probably.

Maybe the MPAA and RIAA are really on our side and are trying to help Bitcoin, because they have money with Pirate and want the price to skyrocket.

Except the price skyrocketing is bad for pirate if I remember his posts correctly.

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.

to solve this problem he just really needs to create a great distributed, p2p platform.
