#2Not sure what to think about the Kim Dotcom projects. They all seem to be short lived. What about that mega.co.nz thing he launched lately? I read that he sold it and distanced himself from the new owner already.

IMO he is more of a shady celebrity businessman than a hacker or innovator, mostly known for his flamboyance.

The company runs well and doesn't want his interference, he raised money from investors who conspired to wrest control from him. Kim accepted what happened and moved on. Mega.co.nz is alive and well, just not under his control.

A megalomaniac with no talent, that use his mates work to shine. He changed his handle but he's still the same pathetic lamer he was ~3 decades ago.

Does he know how to write code? Did he actually write the first version of mega?

#7Aside from ad hominems though, what does HN think about the idea of a blockchain-driven internet? Genuinely curious.

Is the obligatory comment attacking his character on every thread about him really necessary? How about discussing the solution he is actually proposing?

I think that like anything, it's exploitable. Just see the example of bitcoin where a mining pool had over 50% of the computing power. If the internet was driven by a block chain, with enough money and time, you could "control it".

The question is, did he really write the first version of Kazaa?
