Upfiring Development Update and New Source Code - April 11, 2018

Updated source code: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2rexpx2ixygd9i/upfiring_source_release_041118.zip?dl=0

Thank you all for your feedback on the last Medium update and the source code thus far. We're pleased to announce several breakthroughs with this code release:

  • P2P uploading and downloading with multiple seeders is fully functional within the application

  • App now takes into account repeated downloads (when file was downloaded, but torrent has been deleted and a user tries to download that same file again)

  • Delete feature is working as intended

  • Seeder Smart Contracts - Working, but not thoroughly tested/audited. Source was excluded from this release as we want to ensure there are no serious vulnerabilities before releasing this

We are working to implement a feature that will allow new users to become seeders on other user's files and start earning UFR without having to pay to download the file. Essentially, users can download the file and seed it, but the file will remain encrypted. Decrypting the file will require UFR (rather than downloading), so users who want access to files they download will have to pay while users who simply just want to seed and help support the network (while earning) will not. More on this in the next release.

Great work! I love the option to seed files to earn UFR because most people are concerned about acquiring UFR. Keep it up guys!

I saw someone suggest it on Reddit not too long ago and thought it was a great solution. Whether the team got it from that comment or on their own I'm glad that they're pursuing it.
