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.
