@mahvelpony It has been a long time! Don't think we've met. How's it going?
-
@pinhooves @milo @madflavors Nice to meet you if I haven't before. It's been about 5 months since I've been on here.
-
@mahvelpony Why hello there :)
-
@hugs HOWDY! XD XD
-
@mahvelpony How are you today?
-
@hugs Doin' FINE, I'm just doin some readin' about the status of filesonic, rapidshare etc. That megaupload bust annoys me to no end.

@mahvelpony Sounds like fun.

@mahvelpony There's Megasubida now. Also, it's time to fight copyright with torrents. They close Megaupload because they lost $500 million? then, we make them lose $3000 million :D
-
@mahvelpony At least mediafre is still up for the time being.
-
@nerthos @lilytheamazingfaintingpony Thanks for that, I'm totally seeing the torrent scene booming because of this now.
-
@mahvelpony I started yesterday with the torrent thing, mostly because of Skyrim patches to force people to play using Steam. So I downloaded the cracked patch, and I'm seeding things now.
-
@nerthos @mahvelpony They're going to go after that too, we need a free alternative to btguard in order to really get the war going.
-
@ponydude We can do it the same way as underground anime RAWs. Or the decentralized bitcoin system, without a real server or head.
-
@nerthos 'cause bitcoin worked so so well
-
@ceruleanspark Doesn't matter, they can't win, because if they close a distribution network, users lose some hours of fun. If we close one of them, they lose money and end up in the streets.
-
@nerthos How do they do the underground RAW thing, anyway? I'm thirty and I can barely find fansubs when the teams have websites, let alone irc and stuff.
-
@ponydude Megaupload did provided a way to take down illegal ontent. You just had to report a link and they deleted the file. The bitcoin thing was a P2P network, in wich the coins were distributed to users in exchange of processing power. Basically the users were the servers.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony The fact is, most people don't know how they work, and that's why it works. You have to know the source to find something.
-
@ceruleanspark In the words of Pinkie Pie, "give it time". It's three years old and works opposite to everyone's idea of money. But I tell you, when physical coins and bank notes go out of production, we're gonna see a surge of bitcoins, mosty spent on porn and drugs, but still.
-
@ceruleanspark The technology behind it seems to be holding up remarkably well, at the very least. And bootstrapping is always the hardest part for something like this.
-
@mahvelpony Hello! It sure has been quite some time. Nice to meet you, how've you been?
-
@mahvelpony bi-polar weather? Good to hear that.
