Hi guys,

Just had the following letter from my cloud storage provider Wuala:

In a nutshell at the end of the year, they're going to terminate ALL free storage plans.

Now, given that I only need 5GB this isn't the end of the world. However, the only accepted payment methods are credit card and Paypal with valid card.

As you can imagine, this undermines the privacy of your data somewhat.

Of course if it's encrypted then it won't be possible to access it but if you live in a country with compulsory key disclosure laws, this could be a big issue.

I say to Wuala:

Bitcoins or GTFO.
