I'm sure. I personally never been part of communities more or less because of laziness, but I could see that if this is something getting embedded into the clients directly, it could be a solution.

Adding money to this would easily kill the good intentions of people involved. I don't think it is a right idea.

but it's not money tho. You get tokens that you can only use on the torrent network, I think to have more seed powers. Kind of like if you could use your karma you've accumulated on your torrent community to get better seeds.

I don't think it'd be a bad idea, as it would push more people to seed. I know I'd seed more :)

That already exists with bonuspoints within torrent communities. It works well.

This Atlas thing is all about extracting real money. The owner of BitTorrent Inc is a cryptocoin scammer.
