Hey frens what do you think about Upfiring? They plan to use blockchain for p2p file sharing. It seems like a cool idea in a way but the thing I can't figure out is how they can monetize it. They expect down loaders to use their tokens to get content and seeders are rewarded with tokens. The problem I see is how can that compete with an existing p2p file sharing system that is completely free?
Thoughts?
One thing is their tokens are super cheap right now so may be good for a pump once they are further along in development.

You mean you tell people to buy it or you think it's trash?

The main problem with the existing p2p file sharing system is that newer and popular files are easier to find and faster to download. Niche pornography is harder to find and seeders have no incentive to keep seeding it. With upfiring, seeders will have an economic incentive to seed niche files.

Hmmm interesting.
And as
mentioned, what can Upfiring do that Tron can't?
