or better yet, just don't pirate material. go to safe streaming sites if you want to keep malware away from your device.

Nothing beats free however hehehe. There are also no safe streaming sites except the paid sites similar to Netflix.

In any case, you might have missed what bittorrent mainly is. It is a peer to peer file sharing network for anything. Its use for good must be encouraged.


yep, that's true - nothing beats free  Grin   used their services back when the original tpb site was still up and the government wasn't making a move at them yet. so, yes, my device back then was a virus and malware haven haha!

also agree that there are no safe free streaming sites so i pay netflix  Smiley  the downside is that most shows there are ancient save for a few tv series.

anyway, used bittorent and understand what it does. they've partnered with tron and recently announced expanding their ecosystem to include blockchain technology. so they'll get incorporated to cryptospace and introduce the token BTT which will be a tron trc-10 token. new bittorrent and utorrent software will integrate wallets so even non-cryptocurrency users will have wallets right away. does this mean that a user gets incentives for downloading and seeding files - including malware?

have you read their whitepaper? i haven't so i still don't get how the client, swarms, trackers, and seeding will play a role in bittorrent's cryptocurrency protocol. it should be interesting to find out how their protocol will fare in the crypto-economy including how they'll address malware infections if that's possible or if there will be any...
