Upfiring - Incentivized and decentralized file-sharing
https://www.upfiring.com

Looks like they're going to offer tokens to people who seed files on their platform, kind of like uTorrent but you get crypto rewards.

Definitely looks very interesting. Seen it talked about favorably on reddit as well. Would you invest?

Hopefully, if this is done well, it would be a huge one for the project. The idea is great, not like it is new as we already have some projects already but not really doing quite much about it. If this can work, then there is a possibility of seeing much more light at the end and it is really not a bad idea to invest in.

I remember the days when copy-right issue killed the file hosting industry. I pray that not to happen into blockchain based era too.

Agreed. It's crazy that with all the blockchain projects out there, nobody's tackled P2P file-sharing successfully yet. Huge potential for this project if they can do it successfully.

With all the cracking down on p2p sharing, I also share your surprise that all the past projects trying to solve it have not been successful. But this clearly goes to show that a LOT of projects on crypto and ICOs have wonderful ideas but do not have the devs with correct knowledge to pull it off. People think all they need to do is make a smart contract token and the work is done. But there are truly so few actual blockchain devs who know what they are doing.
