Where is their connection to the BitTorrent network?
They are a file sharing system, but they will have their own network, so no connection to bittorrent.
They are also a LTD company, so I don't think they will hosting any illegal content.
I think they are trying to be a decentralized netflix, app store and itunes type system.
VTR will tap into the existing user base of the torrent community, so we won't be limited to just crypto people starting off.
Please see thier answer of the following question.
They look like complete anonymous bittorent, too.
vTorrent is a fully anonymous?
Perhaps,Usual torrent isn't anonymous.
https://decent.ch/faq/WHAT DATA TRANSFER PROTOCOL DECENT USES?
DECENT is using a modified bittorrent protocol currently. Integration of additional data transfer protocols is planned in the future.
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM BITTORRENT?
The biggest advantages of DECENT are complete anonymity both on a payment layer and content consuming layer, decentralized P2P micropayments and direct relationship between author and consumer (one-to-many data model). In comparison to Bittorrent, content on DECENT is encrypted . Even publishers (seeders) don’t know what they are seeding. Unless you explicitly wish to reveal your identity, you stay anonymous. Author’s reputation depends on the rating he/she receives from the content consumers and it is saved in the blockchain. Thus the lifetime reputation for each author and each piece of content is ensured. As an author, you can start publishing for free, build a reputation and later begin to charge for your digital content (articles, books, music, video etc.)
vTorrent is anonymous from February.
You can already make anon payments with stealth addresses.
Decent looks interesting.
vTorrent is a bittorrent integration. It's tapping into an existing user base of 150m to 500m. About half are monthly users.
It's an ecosystem that's taken 10 years to build.
And, Decent needs to create it's own user base from scratch. Yeah, good luck with that.
Maybe they compete directly with MU2. Yeah, good luck with that.
Maybe I got Decent wrong. I didn't look. I like where vTorrent is going. Devs haven't taken ICO money, they have a clear goal to make this epic.
