Torrent reinvented

[mpbiz]

If the movie industry did this, they could make so much fucking money but OH WAIT, they wont because they are stuck in their old ways. :C

Why innovate when you can whine and complain!

Also, how did Luke manage to turn this into a [insert a word from the dictionary]coin thread?

 

[evgenktulu]

Great project. Hope, the guys won't be shut down before long

Can't download anymore.

Can't download anymore.

One of the best ways to download popcorn time is as a torrent. Because it's an opensource project it will never die.

and for you Macfags Download Mac Popcorn Time

That's the beauty of Namecoin; No one but existing bitcoin miners ever need mine it. (Or keep a copy of it's blockchain)

It's merge-mined with BTC so the rest of the world can just use the .bit DNS service as a freebie and it's more than protected from takedowns and centralization.

If you don't have a copy of the blockchain, you cannot crytographically verify the data / records. You instead need to trust someone else running a DNS server, just like you need to with normal DNS.

This isn't about hosting websites in their DNS system; just finding one.

However the chrome extension does it for us at 60kb should be enough for the software to find that one website, no?

You can't verify the DNS records themselves, without the blockchain. Someone else is serving the DNS records to you, and you are trusting them to give you the right records, if you use the chrome extension.

That's the Author's take on that tiny tweet... Looked more like a Taunt to me.

I think Kim DotCom is quite the dancer. If anyone is going to reshape an entire industry with a bunch of goons behind it, he's definitely poised to be that person.

This is seriously EPIC.

Sick Beard - Internet PVR for your TV Shows + private torrent site + http://plex.tv/ = far greater than popcorn time.

That is all. Those who know, know.

That was fast. Goodbye Popcorn Time

inb4deletion...oh wait

Its not over. It is far from over. Popcorn time is opensource. The source files have been and continue to be distributed across the globe. Just because the core developers are yellow, doesn't mean that the next set of developers will be. You will see a 100 different variations of popcorn time within the next 6 months (if not sooner). This is far from over.

Now if they can just figure out how to put the toothpaste back in the tube...

 

[lukep]

I'm going to miss that little popcorn guy so much...

Here's looking forward to the next iteration... Which accepts bitcoin-opened files like Frostwire does.

Bye bye... For now!

I just had the weirdest shit where an account got suspended because they said my IP seeded their product and I seriously didn't...it's fucked up.
