yes hyped it plenty. Hopefully not over-hyped although. What path does one assume this is often going? Torrent up loaders uploading on mega instead and charging like 0.5 a dollar value of bitcoins for a movie?

Its not the company who is going to upload things, Its the users who are. The payment feature is optional and you could charge something or nothing. I also suspect that people will be earning money for simply bringing traffic to the website but I'm not sure.

BTC is a good online payment currency, I have also used Megaupload, If there is a combination it is great. I want private storage, private payment

MU2 & Bitcache first product demo:

https://youtu.be/5HikmLbpqN4

I already posted the video on the thread linking to his tweet. It looks good but It definitely don't show enough details and he is planning to do the stuff he mentioned using bitcoin. A beta access for old premium users for example would be nice.

Right. He mentioned the users of old MU site will already have access on MU2 but an early access to beta would be nice.

Although I'm still skeptical of the number of people who are actually willing to pay for downloading the content from MU2.

It waas good talk when this was mentioned but after some time all went down.
I can remember when i saw last time some link that is on MU at all, but still when i look at all that is happen in this MU2 project concept is good after all. Still think that this will not influence anything else no matter how good something becomes at the end.

Eventually he'll move the platform away from bitcoin.

The tool clearly involves the direct implementation of a Bitcoin address, which users will need to receive payments after the content is submitted. Portfolios can be created from the Bitcache client.
Even though he has gotten rid of copyright infringement under New Zealand law in a trial, he is still wanted in the US, the country seeking his extradition.

He did mentioned lost of stuff but at the end nothing happen.

He's just trying to create a hype around this project (which is perfectly understandable), but so far there is not much for people to focus on other than the information that they occasionally release. Other than that, according to their site they have raised just over $990K, which apparently was a little bit more than their minimum goal. If this project was a real game changer (as he is trying to convince people), especially with his contacts, large investors wouldn't waste a single second and hand him over the needed millions. Long story short - there is no real demand for such a service.

- Get ready Bitcoiners

My first thought: He is the one who should get ready! Bitcoiners aren't postponing, he is.

Second thought: the video looks nice. But I doubt it will work: who's gonna pay for content anyway? Millions of people share all kinds of files for free.
I only see two different markets: porn or warez. If it's warez, it will have fake files too, just like fake torrents are being uploaded. If it's porn, it can be the illegal kind. In both cases, his servers will be a target for the authorities again.

I guess we had to see this coming and by "later this year" , I'm sure he means Q4 and nothing before that. I'm however having my doubts about the reason before the late progress. His tweet

It has been a year already and the promise of launching megaupload and bit cache was still a promise. It has never been implemented possibly due to complications of integrating both systems and how it will operate. People are now tired of waiting for its launch and they are not talking about it now as if it was not existing. In my own opinion the only fault the owner does was to advertise it very early and leaving the excited clients on the air waiting for it.

Some updates, his last statements:

Quote

- Bitcache will ultimately replace credit card payments on the Internet
- Bitcache & Megaupload 2: A first look at encrypted anonymous content delivery with build-in Bitcoin payments. Private. Easy. Safe. Tidy.
- Get ready Bitcoiners. Bitcache will take Bitcoin to the mass market.

He also posted a video and I have to say that It looks good enough: https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/848731692638453761

Saw that twitter post but dont give much hopes to it. He did mentioned lost of stuff but at the end nothing happen.
Just wish him Gl with this and to be just half of what he told all of us it would be great for this project.

Bitcoin SV is Bitcoin

Quote from: DarkIT on February 20, 2017, 01:56:35 PM

megaupload is so well known, I am sure when megaupload support bitcoin, maybe it will push the price of bitcoin be much higher, and stable. I also read an article that said that they predict that the price of bitcoin will be $ 2,000 this year.

I think this too Roll Eyes

Doesn't look good for Mr. Dotcom.
New Zealand judge upholds Kim Dotcom's extradition ruling.
Looks like MU 2.0 and Bitcache is history before it started!

I was under the impression that he was only a figurehead for Megaupload 2.0 but I may be wrong. I assume the wider team behind it is having pause for thought at least.

Oh how i waited for this to happen. First his big mouth and talk about a $2000 price and millions of new users, then the delay and now this. I am just waiting for him to announce that he will still rum MU2 even from prison if he has to and people eating this lies up like a piece of cake.

It's not surprising at all. Big talk most of the times always results in big disappointments as the same basically happened with the Gemini exchange from the Winklevoss brothers. Other than that, people don't really care as MU2 doesn't offer anything really useful to the majority of the people here and outside the forum. As soon as people start throwing with insanely high prices just because of their project, then it's already a sign that you should taken it with a huge load of salt. For serious people this is their first priority -- action speaks louder than words.
