Anyone had success mining BTT from BitTorrent Speed?

[Abiky]

I've been trying to earn some BitTorrent Tokens (BTT) from the newest version of uTorrent without any success whatsoever. The client apart from being ad-intrusive, seems more like the same as previous versions. The only difference would be the "BitTorrent Speed" feature that allegedly helps accelerate torrent's download speeds. Whenever this works or not, it's yet to be seen. I've been seeding a torrent for hours, just to have the same amount of BTT on my wallet (which is 10 BTT by default).

Anyone had the same experience as me? Just wondering how can I actually earn BTT from BitTorrent Speed, as I've tried seeding various torrents from different sites without any luck so far. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm running the uTorrent client on Windows 10, by the way.

I believe you need to be seeding a torrent that someone is willing to pay tokens to download faster.  I think until this becomes more widespread, the chances of earning or spending tokens will be small.  This article explains it pretty well:  https://torrentfreak.com/utorrent-now-includes-tokenized-bittorrent-speed-190709/

Hi man,

I have been experimenting with the beta version of BTT speed as well.
Uploaded about 100GB last week and earned 25 BTT.

Ofcourse this is not much, but it's an incentive to keep uploading and make the network stronger. I like the idea.

Dont forget to put your finished downloads on "seeding" only. Otherwise they sometimes will drain your BTT wallet a bit (still beta).

For 100 gigabytes definitely earned a little. Are there any other ways to earn BTT? Or only via the download information?

The idea is excellent from uTorrent and if they keep adding more features and making it more attractive it will make different people,even those that are not aware of crypto yet to start thinking about it at least.

I am waiting when this becomes more stable to give it a try as I don't have much bandwidth available right now,I only have 300Gb monthly in total.

Thanks for the clarification. I've thought for once that by seeding any torrent, I would automatically earn BTT within a short time frame. This article helped me understand better how BitTorrent Speed works. This is a very clever idea from the TRON Foundation as it will increase encourage people to maintain torrents alive, while earning some money in the process. When someone pays BTT in order to download torrents faster, it benefits seeders in many ways. This model is somewhat similar to decentralized blockchain storage systems like Sia and Storj where you'll earn tokens according to the number of people using your bandwidth.

Thanks for the kind advice. I didn't thought that I would lose my BTT if I left BitTorrent Speed activated. I've now set my finished downloads on seeding only, for greater results. I'm so hyped right now with BTT as it has potential of becoming something big within the not-so-distant feature. Its success will largely depend on how many people use it within the mainstream world. The merge of both BitTorrent + TRON is an excellent idea, in my opinion.

All in all, I wish long-term success for TRON and the BitTorrent project. Waiting for BTT to reach at least $0.01 per coin.
