[Feature Request] BTT Support

[Pgj1997]

Someone over at the qBittorrent repository requested this some time ago, and another person said it'd be appropriate here.

Add support for BitTorrent tokens.

This is quite unlikely to happen. As far as I know the extension to the bittorrent protocol to support paying for bandwidth with BTT is not documented. To be quite honest, I don't think BitTorrent/Tron can document it. I don't trust that it is quite what it's claimed to be.

I think a much more likely path towards a feature like this would be develop an extension that integrates with lightning and use bitcoin. (If anyone is interested in working on that, please contact me!).

uTorrent implemented it. Do we have to use this unbelivable crap?

[Meehai]

utorrent is part of btt though... I'd also love this integration, and I hope there's some open source solution to this, since I think it's a pretty nice application of crypto for decentralization incentives.

Do we have any first hand testimony of the speed boost working?
