Topic: Megaupload + Bitcoins - page 8. (Read 14053 times)
So according to the article users who share their stuff on Megaupload 2.0 starting next January will get a revenue stream in Bitcoins right? Does anyone know how this will work? Like do you get more Bitcoins if more users download your stuff? Anyways I will just wait and see how this thing pans out. I doubt it will overtake the torrent network in popularity but who knows I may be very wrong
Megaupload being a site offering something that goes against the laws of some countries would be a perfect mix with something as anonymous and secure as bitcoin, I think they would be a good mix in both aspects, these being buying subscriptions and at the same time having links attached to a BTC transaction therefore keeping it for long term.
Do you guys think its a good investement? I dont really trust this.
well, it is kim dotcom... seems reasonable.
i'll put some money and definitely will use when launched.
Hasn't kimdotcom been talking about this for months now? it really doesnt look like its coming anytime soon and it just sounds like hes over hyping it way too much.
As i had read he said the project will be ready at 2017 at the begining, besides that i dont believe he wanna put it live before, and i do believe he his really bringing something new that might affect bitcoin value a bit, atleast his last project had huge community.

That's something he shouldn't be doing, really. If his project doesn't live up to what he is vocally making of it, then it will be as (not) successful as the much anticipated for Gemini exchange from the Winklevoss twins.

cant wait for this to be released, wish dotcom would give out some more info tho.... although i suppose he is busy at the minute with his court case and that.
Kim is a guy who can hype something big time. The same way he did with his lawsuit. However in this case I think he may on to something because his Mega project was quite successful. I did not expect to see it grow so big. Very interesting what he will have in store for us.

I don't think it will be a platform where you will sell stuff you created.
Why? An established artist could cut out half a dozen middlemen from between them and their revenue.
So , It seems like Kim dotcom launched his campaign on BnkToTheFuture and he is accepting "Bitcoin only" ! => https://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/megaupload-2-0-bitcache (for those who are interested on investing) , for some reasons , I doubt the funding will be successful (but I'm sure the website will be for sure)
"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.

If MegaUpload is going to integrate bitcoin in their system and the users are getting in bitcoin if someone downloads their files then can somebody make a difference between MegaUpload and SatoshiBox where the last one charges 6% fee or 0.0006BTC?
Megaupload - Sell some digital content for bitcoins? I don't think it will be a platform where you will sell stuff you created. Megaupload's big selling point was downoading illegal content for free.

Well i dont know what megaupload will bring for bitcoin community, but i do remember their big community were earning well, and i didnt know those SatoshiBox as well, but well as long is good for bitcoin i do hope they can be fair with the rates and fees.
Im sure whatever service they are talking about will be in the legal grey area.
File sharing or something similar to how torrent site operators claim they are not responsible for the files that are shared.
It might cause some negative press for Bitcoin, but would bring a lot of new users, so it would be a mix of good and bad, probably.

All I have really read about Kim Dotcom lately is the beef with Macafee,would like to see more promotion on this idea,instead of reading the spat between them.
Think this will potentially get Kim int trouble but it could create spin offs that would be harder to crack down on for a short amount of time. Enough time to get people interested in bitcoin and learn how to navigate it,so it should be a good look if it does not get taken down with his project.
please read about him and his past. he is not some kind of savior. also i fear that his system will not have much to do with the real bitcoin. i bet many people using his service will not even know what a private key is let alone own them.

Not sure which man you are referring to when you tell me to read their history?
Both have troubled paths and I am well aware of both,so I will pass on the reading suggestion. Also was not endorsing Kim but saying how the attention could gain some bitcoin traction from people that are not currently involved in bitcoin. The download aspect can draw quite the numbers as people are tired of itunes shafting them on price. This is what I am pointing at and not either names being mentioned actually putting us on a more solid foundation. Both have ego issues and pump and dump mentality.
