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.

Maybe you can participate in Onion Tor? I remember they receive bitcoin donation and divided among the contributors...
Getting paid to distribute pirated content? Not sure that some people will like this...
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.
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.

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.

not with bitcoin,but with other crypto.
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.
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.

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

ofcourse, you can make bitcoin by offering torrent leeching services ,and the other way, make a software that can mine bitcoin and torrenting in the same time like others torrenting software do
supercopier or µtorrent integrate a miner of bitcoin ... now.

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?
