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

He should stop thinking about Bitcoin and start finding a hole somewhere in Somalia or Botswana to crawl into. The U.S. will be granted extradition in 2017 and send him to an all expense paid luxury retreat if he doesn't disappear real soon.
This is a very ambitious project, but Kim Dotcom has already been able to deliver great products in the past. Maybe this time he succeeds in that. If it is something that can bring benefits to the ecosystem, I think people should support it. But I've read somewhere that for a project to be possible on this scale, it is necessary for SegWit to be activated first, which is something difficult under current circumstances.
Not necessarily, if he creates some sort of off-chain token system or if he works with companies like Xapo to handle the off-chain tx's. You will
only experience scaling issues when you use Bitcoin directly. {on-chain} If he is bargaining on SegWit to be implemented, then he would be
riding a dead horse. SegWit has a better change of surviving, if they can somehow implement it in LiteCoin.

Whats are the great products he delivered in the past .He just ran a cyber locker and that is the only project he has done and became notorious because of his extra ordinary life style and he was caught running the cyber locker and he is still facing legal issues from the US government.From what i hear he is under a new project apart from the cyber locker to start a cloud storage site.

Bitcoin people are the most skeptical in the world. I understand why too but give him a chance. He is investing money, time and reputation. He is not a stupid man.
He is using his reputation to brag only. Making me think about Lady gagaIts not even comparable. If he promised something for the near future and he didn't keep his promise , he won't have any good reputation left. I personally never seen anything from him that make disbelieve him. 20th January is in three days so we should wait and see how things goes and judge later.
He talked about using bitcoin but after several monthe he changed his minc if i am not wrong. As well, since how many time now the buzz with him and Bitcoin is running without any thing done
Over a year ? What is the latest news about him, as i didn't followed well what's was happening
We better wait for the product then, I'm thinking it's still like Storj but with the words he's using, it looks a different product all along.

I do not think Megaupload will affect the price of bitcoin. Now people are haven't trouble with online storage. Alternatively, there are many cloud-based systems available. Dotcom is just advertize.
He doesn't care about bitcoin and megaupload, he is just trying to buzz. he is bragging constantly over twitter
any action ? nope
any action ? nope
This definitely sounds like a good idea; not sure how it would work. Can someone explain? My guess is that you would have to pay for certain downloads?... Don't see how this would work out since how do you know if what you are paying for is legitimate and not just a virus in disguise?
Personally i do believe on his ability to make this work, i think he is a master mind.
Linking stuff like file upload to bitcoin might bring some bad media attention, but i guess that is the price you'll need to pay.
Atleast we would get an really nice hype train if he managed to complete the linking process

I think so too, the guy is a genius, he may not be as bright as a bitcoin developer, but he knows how to tap on certain markets and exploits them delivering a product that just works as intended. MEGA is great, but it could have been better if it used html5 instead of stupid flash. It got ruined after he sold it tho.
I don't see how bitcoin can accomplish any achievement with this dealing with a download service that was outlawed last time. And what now would make it different in this second round?
the least thing it can do is to introduce bitcoin to many new people who has never heard about bitcoin and see it being used and maybe use it themselves also.
and a good thing about it is that this project shows bitcoin more as a currency to do fast and safe transactions with low fees hopefully.
It's about sudden rise in demand and directly in the price of bitcoin. People who usually use fiat (via PayPal or visa etc) would use bitcoin due to the popularity of such services and ease of using those services. I doubt that such rise will last long or not.

"Megaupload 2.0 Will Link File Transfers to Bitcoin Transactions"
Would this really come out like how he want's it to? So.. I think pretty much files would need btc payments i think.

Wow,pretty interesting image.Do you have more images like this one?
Anyway,i don`t think that this business model will work.
Megaupload users love freebies and won`t pay btc for files.
I love that image too. It would be a little more accurate if they would show Kim Schmitz holding a burger and fries in one hand and a whole cheesecake in the other. LOL
He'll finally lose the weight in 2017 when the U.S. extradites him and puts him in a federal prison.
I wonder if Kimdotcom actually owns any Bitcoin or if the government took them all when they seized his assets.
Hopefully this Bitcache idea isn't total nonsense and brings Bitcoin to many new users. We're only one major app away from breaking into the mainstream.
Things will never be the same.
If he was smart he had backups somewhere of his wallets and then just moved the money to other wallet, while it seems to be hyped to death I hope that kimdotcom delivers on his promises because if he does this could be the breakthrough we have been waiting for.
