Bitcache is an announced blockchain powered service that links file transfers to bitcoin microtransactions. The feature is a core component of the cloud storage service Megaupload 2.0 to be launched in January 2017.[1]

Concept

The general concept of Bitcache is that it provides an online reward structure for the mass online storage solution Megaupload 2.0. By linking every file transfer to a small bitcoin microtransaction, the Bitcache system provides a feedback mechanism to users with a value associated with each download.[1]

Bitcache is designed to overcome the scaling limitations of blockchain technology which restrict the number of transactions the bitcoin network can handle.[2]

User privacy will be protected using encryption.[3]
