Seems like we'll have to wait another day or two before he makes another announcement.
Here's an article from Torrentfreak about the subject:

His problem is that he is too loud about his project. It's basically the same as what happened with the Winklevoss brothers. They were very loud at the start as well, and look where they stand right now with their exchange. Basically the same goes up for their ETF that people have been waiting for so long. Kim is trying to create a hype around his project, but it's having no effect so far.

its better to try and create hype than sit on your hands and be afraid to fail
I'm only for Kim to be successful,there is nothing to lose for a general bitcoin user,just possible gains
so why not?
and his "roadblock" and the ensued wait could be simply some marketing plot to thicken suspense

Well, in 2016, I read the news that megaupload predict the price will reach $ 2,000 bitcoin indicator at the beginning of 2017. Well, I believe that until the beginning of the year. see the current price, it may be very difficult for bitcoin to rise to $ 2,000. if it is really going to happen, may require halving, and purchase bitcoin massively this year.

So he tweeted this 4 hours ago:
"Stay tuned for some big news about Megaupload 2.0 and Bitcache in about 90 minutes."
And then 2 hours ago this:
"Sorry but there has been an expected hiccup. Will tell you all about it later today. Let this play out and give me some time to update you 😎"
and this:
"Nothing to worry about. Just more of the same. It's actually entertaining. Hold the line please 😜"

So, yes i am very anxious to see what will happen next.

I think that any service that will advertise bitcoin should be supported. MegaUpload may have made a bad reputation in the past. I think Kim will get away with this negative reputation. The more bitcoin use increases, the higher the value will increase.

lol, I've also read the news about kim dotcom I think he can prove what he said was true, at least holds some bitcoin to view the latest news story about megaupload

Did you forget the "not" right in between the "can" and the "prove"? Because so far he only made bold predictions and failed or corrected them into less bold ones and pushed the release dates further into the future.

How do you run this new piracy company with no data?

Quote

Megaupload's former hosting provider Leaseweb has deleted all Megaupload user data from 690 servers without warning. Petabytes of data are now lost forever. Kim Dotcom is outraged by the scandal and says this is what the U.S. Government was hoping would happen all along. "I'm furious about this betrayal, and extremely sad," Dotcom tells TorrentFreak.

It’s been a frustrating situation for the millions of affected users and one that has taken a turn for the worse today, with the news that Megaupload’s main hosting company has decided to delete all the data they had stored.

So MU 2.0 is coming when exactly?
To be honest I don't believe it will have a great effect or impact on the Bitcoin price.
Why should people get their warez from a service which demands some certain amount of BTC, even if it is a very small one, when they can get it somewhere else for free?!
However let Kim Dotcom hype his stuff.Maybe he proves me wrong.

Wait and see what it will be all about, don't judge before the project will be ready.
You want to know about MegaUpload2.0 more then follow Kim's twitter, he is posting updated there very frequently.

His latest tweet about MU2: https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/821428762705174532

all we got to do is wait a couple of days and then critisize Kim if he fails
I don't think that Megaupload succeeding would be detrimental to bitcoin in any way
so its a win win scenario-either we have a good engine in MU to drive the price up,or we have all the rights to laugh at Kim and his failure

Even though bitcoin and Kim are two different factors, I think it would affect the bitcoin if he decides to pour all his money in such project. His moves will affect the price and user base and thus it is also associated with the goodwill of the bitcoin. Let's hope for the good future irrespective of the things happening in this sphere because ultimately bitcoin is going to lasts long.

I thought Kim Dotcom filed for bankruptcy years ago?

File transfers wouldn't need as much security or encryption as currency exchanges.

That could translate to a file transfer service based on blockchain technology being faster with more transactions per second.

I would guess that's what Kim Dotcom is referring to.

I am struggling to see what problem this "solution" is fixing. Thst is what I am worried about.
Never mind anything else.

It's not fixing anything other than the bank account of mr Kim if this turns out to be a success. But I very much doubt that as there is simply no demand for something like this.

It will be similar to what has happened with the Gemini exchange from the Winklevoss twins, and what we have seen happen with OpenBazaar.

People were highly interested at first, but if you look right now to what they have become, then you can say that it didn't live up to people's expectations. MegaUpload is no exception.

Forget about MU, look into Purevidz. Its the future and a better project for crypto.
