both tron and upfiring doing torrenting. It's one of the few use cases a decentralised blockchain based system works.

upfiring just launched a beta. upfiring is 0.1% of trons market cap. surely better investment.

>> No.12479612

Here's the thing with Upfiring. Its a platform which gives incentive to profit from the illegal distribution of pirated material. Whilst ethically I have no real problem with it as the creator can just post their own content and the market will dictate what their content is worth.

Actually piracy may actually make a upfiring a legitimate platform.

Owning bittorrent is enough to give tron a valuation of $1.7 billion?.. right.

You cant even use tron tokens within bittorrent. some people must feel jilted.

you can't download some hipster music which no one listens anyway, and ancient boomer videogames which no one plays anyway, because seeder abandoned seeding those. so i guess now tron intrinsic value is legitimately above 0.

you earn money for seeding. the same as a miner earns moneyto power bitcoins system.

this is actually an important innovation. it will allow us to monetize the internet without affecting the consumer end. this way we can inscentivise innovation of digital products through profit without killing the spirit of a computer, that is the ability to freely copy and distribute information on an infinite scale.

in the future all sigital products will be free for the consumer and companies and creators will be in partnership with miners in earning profit through block rewards. this is literally one of the most important things crypto will bring to the world

UFR token is used to pay to decrypt files.

The original uploader and seeders receives the UFR.

It's possible to download a file and not decrypt it (so you don't need to pay). You can seed the file and earn UFR without paying any out.

>> No.12480167

>UFR token is used to pay to decrypt files.

Um... so why wouldn't every uploader just encrypt their files so they always get UFR? It sounds like a pay to torrent system.

Tron holders are going to be airdropped Bittorrent tokens in mid February. 20 BTT tokens per TRX.

Can't wait to get airdropped my millions of BTT tokens.

You have no vision.

Torrenting can be used for anyone to share videos, i.e. instead of jewtube which randomly censors and takes down everything.

Twitch(back then justin.tv) was a weird concept and few people even wanted to touch, monetization was not even implemented until much later. People were bashing it for being a stupid rip off of youtube/reality tv.
Nobody could imagine it will become as big as it is today.

I am hoping this platform will be used by content creators to sell directly to customers without giving apple/patreon/youtube/paypal/etc a cut. I would support my favourite creators by downloading songs/art torrent they post on their website

>> No.12481121

>>12480995

I agree. There are a lot of content creators on youtube (parkour/exploration) that are having to change their content based on youtube's changing views on what it likes.

Incentivised torrenting could give them a censorship-free place to upload their videos and still have the financial gain (previously from youtube ads) that funds what they do.

Can confirm, my private tracker will just measure your worth by your ratio and purge accounts that leach too much. There's no way they'll start giving out magic internet money when their system already works.
