Title: Upfiring will be the best dapp of 2019 Post by: evanito on January 06, 2019, 07:52:35 AM The dapp just released and it's flawless. It's incentivized torrenting that rewards seeders. The devs just quietly released the developer version of the application: https://github.com/upfiring/upfiring-update/releases
There will likely be much more hype around the project in the next few months when the official version releases, especially with BitTorrent/Project Atlas pursuing a similar but somewhat different idea with BitTorrent token. People have been posting files on the discord (discord.upfiring.com (http://discord.upfiring.com)) and on the forums (https://www.ufr.chat), but there are some underground places to get them as well. You don't have to own the token (UFR) to use the dapp and upload/seed files, you only need UFR to decrypt other seeder's files if you want to access them. Try it out. Absolutely a dapp/project worth looking into if you don't know anything about it.

It's certainly a great use case for crypto. Low market cap too.

Dapps are still underrated, hopefully this one will change it a bit. Title: Re: Upfiring will be the best dapp of 2019 Post by: slaman29 on January 06, 2019, 10:44:53 AM I'm a big torrent user, have been for so long now I'm actually still surprised that there hasn't been something better than torrenting or seeding to replace the way we download stuff.
But OK, if it's similar to Bittorrent token, why would I use it? Why switch over to something I have to have a Discord account for or a forum account for? Even for Bittorrent, you don't need to use their client to earn it, from what I'm reading.

Because seeders are incentivized to share by setting prices on their files, you can easily find files you want and if it's not available, post in a Discord or whatever Upfiring group you're in asking for it. Someone will provide it since there is a monetary incentive (in UFR). With BitTorrent, the original content provider provides the monetary incentive to keep their file alive, so this type of thing is not possible. They're both good projects in their own right, I just think Upfiring has much more potential from where it is now to where it's going.

Of course, when there is a platform that is working and it can be checked - then the project definitely has good prospects.Title: Re: Upfiring will be the best dapp of 2019 Post by: hellyah070 on January 06, 2019, 11:18:24 AM I've been hearing a lot about this lately especially with all the bittorrent token buzz. It's certainly a great use case for crypto. Low market cap too. Well, paying per seed of download I guess will not give much of profit. Just I think incentives for the seeds. But not bad if the main goal is to promote a good downloading torrent platform.

This is interesting indeed but you have a point if it is the same as bitTorent utility token its not neccessary to shift to another, unless it is much better or have cool features but I could be an alternative. Looks like i've been left out I don't have an idea bittorent is running an ico this month.But OK, if it's similar to Bittorrent token, why would I use it?

BTT and Upfiring will be different projects altogether. They're doing similar things in different ways.
