BitTorrent airdrops for TRX holders

With the Nitron summit in the books, full details have now been released for the BitTorrent airdrops for TRX holders. BitTorrent is the worlds most popular file sharing platform, and the Tron network have introduced the BTT token, a token which will monetize BitTorrent by paying small increments to seeders. Existing registered users of BitTorrent will receive an airdrop, and, there is now a full schedule of the BitTorrent airdrops for TRX holders.

For many, BitTorrent is known for (sometimes illegal) sharing of films, music and software, but entrepreneur and visionary CEO of Tron, Justin Sun knew more than most when pursuing the purchase.  BitTorrent protocol allows for the sharing of huge data files, and as such has many legal uses. For example, global companies such as Blizzard Entertainment (for downloads of games like World of Warcraft) Facebook and Twitter use the BitTorrent protocol for internal and external file sharing. But it is not only companies that use BitTorrent, the UK government released large amounts of data about government expenditure in 2010, and NASA has released a 2.9GB image of the earth through BitTorrent.
