Do the seeders generate the coins specific to each torrent, or is this some sort of scam where coins are made by TRON and users now have to pay for what's already free..?
I have no clue! That said, from the website:
> Users can earn tokens for continuing to seed files after a download is complete
> Users who participate will exchange tokens with each other on the basis of resources provided, not mining
Seems like you get paid when you seed, and you can use what you earned to download other stuff. How's the initial money generated? No idea. Maybe you've to buy the tokens for real $$$ or bitcoins or something. Or maybe you can choose to host a file and gather tokens.
...will connect the BitTorrent peer-to-peer network and the TRON blockchain network => BitTorrent will start accepting "coins"
a custom token => a new "coin"
an in-client token economy => the "coin" will only be valid for downloading torrents
to address existing limitations => too many leechers, not enough seeders
and open a new borderless economy => will be valid across nation-state boundaries
for exchanging value for computer resources => bandwidth and storage
Translation:
BitTorrent will start accepting a new type of "coin" that will only be valid within the BitTorrent network to allow leechers to pay seeders to download files.
