I like the idea behind this coin but I still haven't seen any satisfactory answers to the child pornography question. I know that there has been links to child porn found embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain, but with data coin it is different. Actual child pornography could be stored on there. What's more, with the current low price of datacoin, large amounts of child pornography could easily be uploaded. Upon detection, this will surely drive a lot of people away from storing copies of the chain which will further decrease the value of the coin and make it even cheaper to continue to attack.

This 'child porn attack' would be far cheaper to accomplish than potential attacks on other coins.

I really hope I'm wrong here so does anyone have any insights?

I do not think that you can prevent someone from uploading illegal content to the block chain, so this is a real concern. Person A can upload illegal content and then tell Person B how to retrieve it.

However, Datacoin has some bigger issues right now that needs to be addressed:
1). I can easily bloat the block chain with worthless data because I am a miner with tremendous mining power.
2). Datacoin needs a competing exchange to BTER, BTER is responsible for the sinking exchange rates. They messed up their general leger (confirmed).
