I have couple of questions around this project and I hope someone would be able to help. How are the people paid for sharing the content saved on their system? In other words when they are seeders, do they earn coins from this? Also, if this legal, I mean one can have all sorts of pirated info and could be sharing via vTorrent. How does this work?
How safe is our system when we share such contents?
How much is the earning from sharing contents by acting as seeder?
Thanks and have a nice day.
as far as we know, buying and selling prices are set by individuals.
as long as people use this for legal sources of media, files, etc, any pirated materials are down to those individuals. the cops or rights owners would go after them personally.
Dear all,
Actually, the size of piece I stated here is only related to the way BitTorrent protocol works, by slicing up different size of torrent file in pieces and have each pieces verified by leacher's client using the SHA1 algorithm against the seeder's piece after each pieces is transferred, for example with 512kb piece size, 700mb would be divided into 1,400 pieces, piece size is the key that can make a torrent seeded on a slow connection scale well.
There is actually no theoretical limit for the bandwidth or file size that our network can handle at any given moment.
Moreover, each pieces of torrent file is unrelated to each transaction on VTR network, all of the transactions made to each seeders will be in micropayment channels which most of the transaction will be off-chain, and hence there should be no bloat issue for the VTR blockchain to handle.
