How do you promote to attract investors to join? I think you need some people to work with the team. yes bounty hunter is ready. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Bounty hunters may be ready. Only here they do not need them, unfortunately ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) As I understand, they will have airdrops in the future ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I mean, which seeders don't want to get paid? And which peers don't want to get rid of the adware infested torrent websites that we have currently?

People don't typically seed in normal P2P torrent apps because there is no reason to. Upfiring changes that by incentivizing it, so people will have a real reason to use the app. The fact that so many people will want to seed files means faster and more widely available downloads as well.

Hi Coinfarmer, thanks for the Q&A. Super cool project.
I just finished reading the whitepaper and am considering backing the project, but have a few questions: 1) Is there an IRC or Slack channel for live discussions with developers? 2) Where can I find a list of the developers/team involved? If there is not a list, can you please share that information here? 3) The whitepaper often references "decentralized P2P network", but I'm unclear exactly what this means. The internet itself is (mostly) decentralized, and I am assuming that Upfiring will be operating on the internet of today. Similarly, torrents today are mostly decentralized, in the fact that the nature of P2P is downloading from many places at once, as opposed to a server somewhere on the internet. "Decentralized" is a hot buzzword right now, and I'm curious in what ways Upfiring is more decentralized than torrent. 4) What is the value-add of being decentralized? Aside from the token reward for seeding, what makes this concept inherently better than torrent?
Thanks in advance for your time!

I think it was a no brainer that someone goes for decentralized file sharing, but there is likely other projects trying to do this to or not? Apart from that, your success over time probably depends a lot on Ethereum's success over time in terms of scaling correct?

File sharing system that are combined with crypto currency is really interesting, This is really good opportunity to have some income source while sharing with one another.

Have you found programmers ready to the the alpha version of the software? It seems like you'd need high-end developers.

Will you modify the BitTorrent protocol in order to make this work? Or you'll be starting with a cryptocurrency base?

The ICO is the only way to acquire UFR before it hits exchanges?

So does it recruit the blockchain's data decompression/compression processes in order to exchange and distribute data resiliently and quickly?
Hopefully there's relatively little tying the token's value to that of Eth.
The issue I had with blockchain p2p file sharing was that people are gonna want to share dangerous things over this anonymous takedown-resilient structure, which will one day bring about a PR crisis for Eth. But I accept that this is an inevitable step in blockchain's progress. Shine on you crazy diamonds.

Good day, Team! Will you provide some bounty campaign for you ICO?
We will not be doing a bounty campaign, the only way to acquire UFR is through the crowdsale at the moment. After the crowdsale there will likely be a few small bounty campaigns/offers. This is a real pity, I will stay tuned so as to be ready to pick your campaign when you will be ready to launch it. But it is strange to make a bounty campaign AFTER the contribution has already taken place...

Why do you answer questions so slowly? It seems to me that Upfiring's ICO is one of the better deals right now, but please be more active in the comment section.

It might be good but we know nothing about the team behind it. That's a huge red flag. People are literally giving away money to anonymous people on the internet. That's what fomo will do. Not a lot of rational thought. We should demand better before giving our money away. I was close to buying this one but I want to know who the team is and what their qualifications are. One of the pictures in the sneak preview is just a picture from the metatrader platform or some similar platform with moving averages added to the graph. I'm out.

What if the ISP simply bans IPs of seeders? I listened to this podcast episode recently that explained how a decentralized exchange would need a decentralized internet first. Is the same case true for this one?
Is this really an issue? Seems /r/conspiracy to me.
