Is this a good idea?

BTT (Bittorrent Token)
I don't know if i can explain it any better that what is already in that whitepaper on that site.
It basically states you earn BTT if you seed. Those can then be traded apparently. If you have a trading account, you could have a look.

The Wikipedia link was just to show the connection between Bittorrent and BTT.
If you chase the links you see both are controlled by one 'Justin Sun'.
I have no personal experience with BTT, but it seems alive.

It appears Bundles died slowly after 2015. No idea why, but could be due to lack of interest and other competing tech.

Thank you !
As you might know, I have some problems working things out with my brain.  So, sometimes I need more of a simple human explanation before I can peice together anything techincal. 

Do you know if there's already a torrent-crypto client available?  Or, is it purely a whitepaper at this time?

Bittorrent Speed is their product: https://www.bittorrent.com/token/bittorrent-speed

At first glance, It seems to be like Brave browser. One pays or is rewarded with BTT tokens when they leech/seed torrents. I've never used it though, and the exchange rate of BTT is shit: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bittorrent-new/.

They love the project so much their roadmap is outdated

   

There's no max supply, and Ethereum/BSC contracts have minting methods: https://etherscan.io/token/0xc669928185d...teContract

Basically that is all that i too understood. You seed a torrent, you get BTTs.
BTT is a tradeable commodity on (certain) BTX (Bittorrent Exchange). So you can buy/sell it.

Other than that i don't know if it has intrinsic value.
Also to earn BTTs, both peers must be using 'BTT compatible' clients. A good proportion are on qBittorrent !

There is some basic information in the FAQ.
https://www.bittorrent.com/token/bittorrent-speed/faq

You'll just have to give that torrent client a try to know if it is really worth it.
Content is freely available nowadays, so i don't see the 'marriage' as a 'big market'.
You might as well trade directly in crypto.

My motto is that earning something is better than earning nothing.   With a crypto - torrent marriage the content is still free... No one is being asked to pay for anything.

So seeding = mining = crypto

I'm going to give it a try and the worst that can happen is nothing works.

This article makes TRX sound like Bittorrent Bundles.

If we consider how we stream content via the leading tech giants, it's an unfair system. For example, YouTube can randomly decide to close a user's account and choose to censor certain content while promoting others.

Facebook can decrease reach or, worse, ban the content creator from posting or commenting in their group. Come on, Mark Zuckerberg, do you genuinely think your big-boy micromanaging approach is fair to your users?

The problem is we do not own our content. Content creators, like musicians, struggle to make a living when the streaming tech giants like Spotify and Apple stomp all over uploaded content with an "it's mine now" attitude. They pay content creators a few peanuts for their work whilst they make the lion's share for doing, well, not much at all, other than being "big."

If you can read charts and need daily news, you can use this.

Actors, film crews, producers, content creators, etc.. etc.. etc..

All of us have been screwed over by big tech. We invest all the money and do all the work but big tech gets 97% of the profits.

The Internet platforms have done and invested absolutely NOTHING and they get almost all the money.
Piracy only able to hurt creators because the Internet Tech Giants have already raped us and left us for dead. Without the rapists, piracy would only be a tool of promotion.

Spoke like a convinced proletarian While they do profit a lot from generic population a good chunk of their income is generated by B2B transactions. That's capitalism, supply is in ☯️ with demand.

I beg to differ on this one. They've been giving all they have to develop great products, and they are succeeding, which is proven by the millions of people using them.

Are their asks too high? Always. Do they invest anything back in their business? Always.

No one's forcing you to pay for Netflix subscription.

When the government changes the regulations and laws to benefit you and no one else.
When it helps you keep down your competitors...

That's not capitalism.

If I could wipe my ass with their products then at least they would be providing me with something that I actually use.

I don't

But Netflix still keeps food off my table. They keep a lot of independent film makers poor and desperate. So, I have to either lower my rates or sometimes accept that I'm not going to get paid.


The ONLY Internet tech company that I truly get anything usable from is right here! The Pirate Bay and this forum.
