We'll look into remote uploads as part of plugin functionality, for sure. The will be (obviously) part of the open-source plugin release, so stay tuned for news.

We intend to increase it - and will do so as soon as we finalize our negotiations with the hosting / infrastructure folks. You are welcome to start filling the account up now, since when we bump up storage limits, it will be done across the board automatically without any additional hassle...

Hmmmmm... so the problem can be described as "bots auto-send preview pic takedown notices to image hosts, image hosts don't bother to investigate and take down the pics..." Right ? Because if right ... this gives me an idea...[eviljmz]

You mean multiple downloads of same file from same IP done within a very small (<24-48 hours) time frame ? No. Regarding storage space limits: I can't release the specifics yet, but we will be increasing the storage space. Regarding legal porn: Legal porn is allowed. Also, I'd like to use...

Yeah, blockchain.info (aka blockchain.com) is super-simple, though we prefer multibit standalone wallet. It's about as fast and simple as online wallet (you install it, it gives you your bitcoin address, you fund it though any of the exchanges) but somewhat more secure. Still, blockchain.info...

Will have more (negotiating with a certain... "infrastructure provider" for a better deal on them huge storage servers). 100 GB should be enough to get the sharing started :) Coming soon, as outlined in bullet point 5 in our plans (above).

Hello dear Wjunction community! I am here to represent Megareload, a small-yet-ambitious file sharing (or as some might say, file locker) service. We're rather old-school and conservative for the most part (we even have a very classic uploader incentive payout system), so our user account...

I would like to join the others in congratulating you. Happy Birthday!

We might also see adoption of more robust crypto, that is hard to subvert by "tweaking the constants just so"

Not entirely. We know too little details - we don't know the specifics of attacks involved (technically, procuring a vast array of certificates through "extra-legal means" renders all encryption done with involvements of those certs ineffectual, but it's not a crypto break). The exploits that...

You run botnet for other things, and just mine bitcoins as a "side-dish". Those 'nets are most certainly not dedicated bitcoin things, they just do bitcoin mining while doing other things. Also, not all botnet owners are equally smart, you know...

Botnets. They don't pay for electricity and they don't care. Also, CPU-mining botnets are a very known blight of mining pools, as they consume inordinate amounts of traffic for petty gains, and proceed to DDOS pool if kicked out.

Yes, that is an accurate observation. ASIC miners will be progressively less lucrative as time goes by.

They started long ago. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.0 P.S.: Am I the only one to be fascinated by the fact that there is an entity incorporated completely upon bitcoin-based infrastructure with little to no formal oversight, and this entity is making actual physical...

Well, it appears quite plausible. It is quite a profitable thing to do. In fact, I think there is a bitcoin-ish corporation that got funded strictly through bitcoin, and whose business boiled down to "develop ASIC with invested money, mine bitcoin, pay dividends from selling bitcoin". It is...

I've got something in my eye, I think. I also have trouble finding right words.Very deeply touching.

I would very strongly advice against butterfly labs. They have extensive history of delivery delays, refund practices that are occasionally ... questionable... and there has been information that some of their equipment is electrically unsafe and non-compliant with EU, USA, and Russian...

Sadly, at this point in time, mining via GPU is exceedingly inefficient unless you have "free" electricity and a bunch of GPUs already in your hands. At this point in time, using dedicated FPGA or perhaps even ASIC miner would be seemingly preferential. Bear in mind that bitcoin price is not...

Sadly, no. He is no longer with Megareload. But I like your investigative attention to our history. My name is on the very site, and because of the way our uploading and downloading works, I couldn't remove it from there even if I wanted to.

Usually, we're represented by JaneRand (whom some of you know), but she has problem about exposing her actual IP (I have far less concerns about my privacy, especially since any attentive user will find out my real name by carefully investigating Megareload). I decided that I can currently...
