Torrents are a huge market and it is annoying when the sites get shut down, using a tor connection through the blockchain is a great way to keep the link alive and remove the power of dmca requests etc from shutting sites down. Great job with this looking forward to seeing more updates and exchanges in the future!!
keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Just to clarify - tor is optional, and the magnet links are available on the blockchain, we don't make any external connections.
Each node holds and shares the list of the torrents.
You can use the QMTool to submit a torrent/magnet link at the cost of a 1 QMC investment,
and I say investment because you can get up to 5 QMC back next month for every link you post that is voted as good.
So in a nutshell, we are aiming to be a decentralized piratebay, kickasstorrents, leechtorrents, any-other-site
But without a website - just a wallet that can search & download torrents, where you can earn some $$$ from submitting quality stuff, as opposed to torrent sites where one can submit all their life in return for nothing but the site being shut down eventually.
The benefits are numerous - no censorship from the site owners, no censorship or takedowns by isps, no annoying ads and popups - and as you can see the speed of searching is pretty much instant, all you need to do is sync with the network
Yes I know the tor connection is optional, its just a very nice touch especially for owners of torrent sites who want to switch over to using QMC for distribution with the added benefit of using tor for anonymising and protecting themselves further , being able to monetise those links with a coin that could increase quite a bit in value is a major added bonus if you ask me. I'm pretty sure once a decent sized torrent site decides to start adding its links the rest will be sure to follow as long as the application runs as expected in the future.
Also, loving the ease of the masternode setup, way easier than a lot of other coins and will defo be a help to new investors without alot of exposure to setting up a MN for the first time. I also like the fact that the collateral and rewards are pegged to the number of nodes running, defo a help to stop those Dumps from happening.
Like I said man, keep up the good work!
