We don't really care how it came about that they stopped using Paypal, as long as piracy operations are deprived of funds.

Hmm. I don't know. netload is still up, and they were far more professional than netload, and dont have an affiliate system

Never said that was a lot of money, but who are you fooling with saying that you're hosted somewhere where they cant mitigate a ddos? This is a webmaster forum for fucks sake! LMAO. Did they charge you for all the bandwidth? The site you have can run off a 5$ hosting plan. But let me guess, you have coldcopy and stopfilelockers on some crazy dedicated servers for the heavy db usage.
You really needed an office to send emails to paypal and search google? Isnt your collaboration tool you use some free tool? (Sorry I'm just assuming)

It seems like you're trying to 'pump' yourself up and your company, as you can get a corporation formed for about a few hundred dollars, and I don't think you have been sued, so I don't know what legal fee's you're paying so much for?

This is why the price of bitcoins raise to the demand. example 1 bitcoin can cost 40$

Third, while hardcore pirates may adopt it as their method to pay for infringing content, just as druggies have adopted it to pay for things at Silk Road, it's lack of mainstream acceptance will mean that Joe Public with a Visa card will never get a Bitcoin card.
Bitcoin will never be a mainstream currency as the digital economy's value far exceeds the value of the theoretical maximum limit of bitcoins.
People want to pay with established payment systems that they trust. Bitcoin wont get there any time soon, if at all.
It's a pipe dream at the moment and until it can gain the market acceptance of the wider public it's not going to be a viable alternative to Paypal or Credit Cards.

So sayeth AK, and So Be'ith.
LOL. you're so closed minded about anything that goes against your beliefs. You have double standards in everything you post, but anyhow, I'll give you a bump, as I think you get happy when it's the first page on gfy.
But let's see the people who said things would never work:
There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home.
- Kenneth Olsen, president and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977
To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth--all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances.
- Lee deForest (1873-1961) (American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube.) Feb 25, 1957.
There is not the slightest indication that [nuclear energy] will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.
- Albert Einstein, 1932.
Need I go on?
