[ANN][UFR][ICO] Upfiring | Incentivized P2P File-Sharing

[GoBelle]

Limewire was a bad example I admit.

It honestly wasn't. In terms of how they presented their technology in the whitepaper, it's a perfectly valid comparison.

They aren't hosting file directories like Limewire did, they're acting as a tracker. .torrent's are also different than what limewire used. The differences may seem subtle to you, but legally, it's the difference between sitting in jail and having a successful business.

Tokens still not transferable ?

gas being wasted here

Yeah Devs, I've the same question. now that the Ico is over isn't the token open to transfer? I tried and it failed.

UFR token transfers will be enabled after November 5th when the Bounty Campaign concludes.

[CoinFarmer]

The ICO has concluded! Details can be found here: https://upfiring.com/results.html

Some additional bounty campaign UFR may still be generated by the contract over the next week as forms are submitted. Once the bounty campaign concludes, UFR transfers between addresses will be enabled.

Stay tuned for updates regarding exchange listings in the coming weeks and development updates!

One question I have, is there any way that files that aren't often seeded will have a higher reward for seeding? Nothing more frustrating than trying to download something obscure on utorrent and finding there are no seeds.

The rewards will be based on file size. We may implement something like this down the line, however.

When it comes to storage, will your architecture function similarly to that of Storj?

Not exactly. Storj splits up files and stores them on a bunch of different hosts, allowing hosts to earn coins for renting out their storage space. With Upfiring, the files will be stored on the seeders devices, so your files aren't being distributed to the a bunch of different peers in the network - only downloaders.

But if the files are stored on the seeders devices, what happens if the seeders devices crash? Are the files still accessible? Storj is strong because it has a high tolerance of node failures as files a stored in a decentralized way with some overlap. With your system, are files stored only on a single seeder's device?

Have you used P2P before? It's on as many devices as people who have downloaded it. So an unhealthy torrent doesn't have many seeders, and it is possible to lose stuff.

That is what I meant. Anyway thanks for confirming. With the incentive built-in this could really go big.

Hi Devs? I would like to ask and to know if the UFR Token is already in exchanges such as in etherdelta etc. If not, when did you want to put it on exchanges? Do you have a plan?

[bobq]

Is the amount raised during the ICO sufficient to deliver your product? Is there an updated roadmap scaled to the possibilities disclosed by the raised amount?

[zincoxide]

ICO completed. You can already find it on etherdelta - you need to do the follow to see it:

In the box where you select which token you want to trade you need to scroll to the bottom and select "Other"

Then enter the contract information below:
contract address: 0xEA097A2b1dB00627B2Fa17460Ad260c016016977
name: UFR
decimals: 18

Once it gets officially listed this will change but for now you can buy/sell here.

[Hexcolyte]

So yet another file sharing project, there are already many out there, but competition will benefits everyone.
Didn't read through the whole project and whitepaper, but I have a simple question, does Upfiring allows piracy content?
Good luck to Upfiring!

Is there any overview available where we can see all details about the contributions? How many contributors and how much money was pledged?

There are no trades going on at etherdelta. Literally only 9 orders, all sell orders.

there are some buy orders placed on etherdelta now

Although the idea is cool the activity in this thread suggests a little bit otherwise. I find it sad because it would be a useful platform.

CONTRIBUTION PERIOD v1.0.

Start Time: October 3rd, 2017 at 12:00 PM EST
End Time: October 31st, 2017 at 11:59 AM EST
Hard Cap: 40k ETH or $12M USD
Cryptocurrencies Accepted: ETH, BTC, LTC



TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

To ensure the fair distribution of UFR tokens, we have no pre-sale or special bonuses. The Contribution Period is the only way to acquire UFR and the rate is standardized. UFR tokens are minted when ETH is sent to the contract. We do not use whitelisted addresses or participate in any 3rd-party allocations.


http://i66.tinypic.com/v6qgkk.png


600,000,000 UFR will be distributed in the Contribution Period of the 1 billion total. A small number of tokens are reserved for in-app use, the team, and a potential 2nd contribution period only in the event that additional funding is needed for the continuation of the project. This would only take place in the distant future after key roadmap events have been completed and well into the main application launch - otherwise, those tokens will be burned.

How will Upfiring work?

Upfiring is a P2P file-sharing application that encrypts and distributes files between peers over a decentralized network. Upfiring operates similarly to services like uTorrent but with several key upgrades and inherent advantages. All transactions are linked to the Ethereum blockchain - allowing transactions to run securely and for proof-of-transfer protocols to be carried out between peers. The movement of files across the network requires Upfire tokens (UFR). When a user downloads a file from a seeder, the user pays for the transaction with UFR - which covers the cost of gas and compensates the seeder for offering the file to the network. This allows users to earn passive income by seeding files and allows users download large quantities of files at an extremely low cost. Upfiring supports the exchange of many different file types on the network, including .torrent and magnet files.

How will Upfiring ensure seeders are compensated?
Files seeded on the Upfiring network will be encrypted so that other P2P services cannot access them without using the Upfiring Desktop application. Smart contracts written in Solidity govern the process and ensure the successful transfer of tokens and files in each transaction. This allows anyone to earn tokens passively and trustlessly by simply seeding files in the Upfiring Desktop or mobile client.

What measures have you taken to ensure that the data is secure and encrypted properly

Is the amount raised during the ICO sufficient to deliver your product? Is there an updated roadmap scaled to the possibilities disclosed by the raised amount?

Yes, the funding is sufficient to continue. We're working on updating the roadmap, but the biggest change is the removal of iOS and Android applications. The main application will be fully functional as outlined.

Can this Upfiling system be used at a Japanese hospital?
For example, A hospital has a medical record of patient B.
B The patient has a cancer disease.
B patients should go to A hospital, C hospital, D hospital, E pharmacy to cure cancer diseases.
Each hospital or drug store has a medical record of patient B, but they do not share their medical charts.
If there is an ID identifying patient B, can each hospital or drug store share this chart with this Upfiling system?

Upfiring / UFR is going to burn nearly 97% of their coins:

From 791,000,000 down to 24,000,000 (14,400,000 circulating)

O projeto da plataforma é bem interessante ...

What exchange do you plan on having UFR listed on next?
