very well thought out, good luck.

Just curious, do you have any relations with The Pirate Bay? Or are you just using their brand? Do you have any plans to support them with this endeavor?
I like your idea and am following this thread but concerned that using their name will distract from your mission.

If annonimity could be implemented that would be a huge thing too
anyways is there any estimate on when this could be released ?

I'm thinking about 2 months. Trying to get some people on board, got a few people interested in helping but they are afk or offline alot. Part of my problem is my full time job, I'm contemplating taking a sabbatical or quitting to work on this. I know it has a ton of potential. If done correctly it will make every public torrent tracker obsolete.

Suggestion #3
It would be great if the client also created incentives for people to seed older less traded bonafide content. Maybe the client randomly places or suggests older content , for seeding, that doesn't get traded as much. Maybe these older files get a larger payput as not as much trading happens. This type of method might ensure that classic material continues to get supported.

This project looks exciting, i will def be following.
A few suggestions:
As a regular torrent downloader i must say that as a rule i never download anything that requires a fee, it just goes against the basic principles of torrent network. (Sharing is Caring 😄)
However if you setup the client to allow a new or broke user to participate first, to get some coin, to then make the dl of their choice i could see myself using this. Ie: allow the client to randomly, for free, dl a heavily traded torrent. Once you have uploaded, (participated), enough you earn some coins to get the dl of your choice. This method would hopefuly not disenfranchise anyone and encourage participation from the getgo.
Suggestion number 2. If you find some way to hide ip addresses or make it anonymous then you have a real winner.

Or it could pay you a small amount for uploading your own torrents, and more seeders = more payments to a cutoff point. That way it would give incentive for folks to upload their own media/books/software etc, while starting you off.
Another way could be that every new user gets 'x' amount of coins starting off, and they can use them to download what they want (with the payment you just used to download getting dispersed across seeders), then seed, and as you seed what you download, and your ratio increases, others fees are dispersed around to seeders again.

Go for it brother. Very sound idea. Do you have any technologies in mind to build upon thus far?
January 13, 2015, 07:46:36 AM
The best idea of a coin i have ever heard.
This might be the replacement of bitcoin that everyone is waiting for.
I wish you best of luck.
Please buy an island and form your own republic there. I want to be your citizen. ThePirate Island.

Can you only seed through a specific client?
Otherwise I could just upload to a person that is not using the TPB client, he doesn't have to pay as you usually don't have to with torrents, but I am getting paid.
Tweaking this a little bit, and I just upload to myself all day. Or is this not possible?

I'm embedding a custom torrent program in the wallet. It won't be compatible with any current torrent program or torrent file. I'm also working on the custom transaction system that is needed to charge/pay when you seed/leach. Even if you could make the torrent files in the TPB client to work in a normal torrent program you wouldn't be able to download any data as file parts must be paid for to initiate download.

I don't like the idea of having to pay to download, that is the reason to pirate something.
But by doing this, the total number of coins remains the same, for every uploaded bit, a bit is downloaded.

You are paying for a fast download, if you seed back 1:1 you are reimbursed what you paid. Seed back more than 1:1 and actually make a profit. The only time coins are minted is when someone uploads a file and it is tipped/voted on atleast 20 times.
2 of the biggest problems in the bittorrent world are lack of seeders and bad files, eg. Fake, virus, ect.
If the seeders are being paid they are going to keep seeding. By making an uploader get votes or tips on his upload before he gets paid it helps curb bad files being uploaded.

This coin seems really interested, i will definitely keep an eye on it.
i like so much the idea about give rewards to uploaders and seeders. I will be and seed paranoic if this coin finally go to a dencent way
and no premine, so +1 about it too.
