People do not make money on seeding, they gain internet points, aka coins.
The advantage here is that the protocol itself will incentivise people to seed instead of doing a hit & run, and will thus increase the value of the network.
Not sure it will work, but the experiment is interesting.

- hanselot 8y agoIf they incentivize seeding I will definitely start doing so. Simple as that. If I can earn actual cash for offering up idle storage and bandwidth, you can bet I will do that.
