JoyStream was being built with that aim, but they're in test phase and only work with the testnet, I think... There aren't other systems like that, that I know of.

In a way you can do it.
There's an altcoin called Storj,provides distributed cloud storage: http://storj.io/
And gives away some coins that you can sell for bitcoins later.

Isn't there another one called the Sia coin that works with the same principle by sharing the storage?

I have another question, can I pay others to seed a torrent? It'd be nice to know what tool I can use to do something like this but it'd be better if there was a detailed tutorial on how to use it.

afaik they launched already, but i didn't personally tryed them out. Doubt you can earn much that way tho.

Check out YourSeedbox,GBox,DTS Leech and ByteSized Hosting; they are claimed to all accept bitcoin as payment option.
Regarding the tutorial; you can always find one on youtube.

Torrent seeding for bitcoin is of course possible, you just have to write the client with built-in bitcoin functionality. However, it borders on piracy (if you're seeding illegal content). Therefore, you have to be extra careful.

I'm pretty sure op was referring to third party services that are already offering such service. Doubt op will make whole client based operation just to earn some dust seeding.
Also, there's nothing illegal in p2p network sharing - it's all about the content of the seeded files.

Yes, I have heard of joystream also, and am eager for them to launch into the open. Would be great to seed for satoshi, even if it weren't too much.

Joystream is in the works now, I think, and it could really bring the torrent scene a new start. I'm an avid torrent user, and I seed and leech A LOT, so why not use my spare bandwidth and share it to others? The thing is, if it is illegal content, I don't download it nor seed for it.

I wonder if you actually end up making anything in the end? All the while you're seeding you lose your bandwidth and electricity if you keep your machine running especially for that and if you calculate the cost of that to what you make, I don't think you'll cover the expenses.

Most of the content in torrents are illegal like movies,games etc.. so what do you download then?

I know, but you know other types of illegal content (I'm a pirate too, lol) like CP and stuff like that? That are the things I consider illegal.  Wink

Yes you can earn bitcoin with Torrent services. But actually why can't uTorrent or Bittorent can't implement feature like that?
I am pretty sure torrent software developers are interested in Bitcoin.

there was also datacoin, that was claiming to move data directly on their blockchain, torrent data

basically data had a value with it, i dunno what happened to it, it was a cool altcoin with a nice feature

They should implement a service, where people put up requests and place Satoshi's in escrow for the seed, if it becomes available. There are people with stuff in archives that they

not seeding, but with some extra monetary motivation, they might just dig up those archived material and place it online for seeding. So when these seeders go online and they

see a list of people requesting something with a big bounty, they might work harder to get it.  Roll Eyes
