If BitTorrent had a token economy, I think we'd see
Strategic "seed pools" (think mining pools)
Long term seeding
Bounty markets for content ("100k tokens for HD Star Wars leak!")
Inter-tracker arbitraging (upload everywhere → easy tokens)https://medium.com/@jbackus/what-if-bittorrent-had-a-token-13d62a590aa7 …

I’ll go dig around for specifics but when you apply to be a miner on filecoin they ask you some questions that imply this is an option. Also I didn’t read your post yet. I will.

Thanks. I googled around for like 15 minutes after seeing your response but didn’t find anything. I know Filecoin is for incentivizing storage, but not aware of something similar to what I describe in the post

Also if I’m wrong, I still think a smart client/daemon pair could be built on top of ipfs/filecoin to manage economically optimized seeding & downloading.
