I read about a new mining method from tribler project: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/23

Can you explain this a bit more? He writes about donating harddisc space so how does the "mining with bandwith" works?

I have 100Mb/s, so i would like to know if i could earn from that.

But i fear the only way to make money from that to justify the usage would mean risk for me. I mean what is down- and uploaded? Copyrighted things maybe? And is there the possibility to get a virus?

I dont know details but it is the best mining method. I like the idea.

That makes no sense. If you don't know the details, how can you be qualified to make such a decision? There are plenty of things that could go wrong with a method of coin generation, such as this one.

I dont believe in copyright. I believe in copyleft.

Belief is not correlated with importance. I for one might believe in a flying spaghetti monster deity and not believe in fires. Belief or not, you are liable for distribution of copyrighted materials.

Torrents and torrent data can be random, created by the program.

It may be that it is a reward mechanism for supplying storage to the network rather than a bitcoin-like mining. The bandwidth aspect is probably part of the reward calculation. There is a similar system in Maidsafe

I look at Tribler from time to time but it's not a very active project. Maybe time to look in again.
