EDIT: oooh, looks like an API https://mega.co.nz/#developers and lots of back-end info is being made available also ... maybe not be too hard for 3rd party to bolt on a bitcoin-enabled service anyway ??

Now that is just unfair. Even without uploader rewards, it's still neato.
The more crypto-enhanced file hosting services there are, the merrier.
Somehow I am a bit disappointed of Kim. After all his talk about getting rid of US dictated monopolies, like credit cards and Paypal, I at least would have expected SOME other option than that. Maybe direct bank wires or cash in mail or ANYTHING, but Paypal, Visa and Master all over again?
Well, I kind of like mega (But I love our own little baby more
), but honestly, I don't understand why there's no bitcoin support right away. I mean, it's not like not supporting bitcoin would win Kim any favors from the nice gentlemen in the FBI...Now, I am currently in the process of carefully reading the site, and as far as I can tell, there is no indication of anything that might resemble something like an uploader reward program a-la the great old Megaupload days. If that's true, it would be sorely disappointing...
Sounds like a job for our #1 payment processor.
The going scheme seems to be that domain sellers offer subscriptions only (https://mega.co.nz/#resellers).
Maybe some of those guys would be right:

kalyhost.com maybe...
they are hosting mtgox
Fail, kim. Page is not loading and The URL says mobile undefined even on my iPad ...
It works for me but when I try to sign up it hangs and if I reload and try again the same thing happens.

I'm starting to think more and more that Kim is just a stupid guy who happened to get lucky with his service. I mean he knows how to provide that service but other than that he is a moron.

I checked all the resellers on https://mega.co.nz/#resellers
all they accept are credit cards (Visa, Master, Discover, Diner, some other) and Paypal. No mention of Bitcoin
Well, couldn't somebody who accepts bitcoins become a reseller? all they accept are credit cards (Visa, Master, Discover, Diner, some other) and Paypal. No mention of Bitcoin
Yes, please!
cool

Well, it does teach commoners what Public/Private keys are and how important it is to remember your password as there is no recovery, just like in Blockchain and other Bitcoin wallets.

Can't get a confirmation email. Has anyone successfully signed up?
Me
I signed up just fine... it seems that he isn't actually selling anything on his site, but is using resellers, kind of like how e-gold was using exchangers to put a layer between them and payments. Nice one, maybe bitpay or someone could become a reseller providing bitcoin payments
