BTFS is the product of an entirely different group of people than the ones who were responsible for the uTorrent purchase. BitTorrent Inc was itself bought by cryptocurrency company TRON in 2018. Few people who worked at BT Inc prior to the acquisition are still there, and AFAIK none of them ever worked on BTFS.
- xd1936 5y agoDifferent team of people, all working in the same company, correct?
- btthrowaway 5y agoTechnically yes, but as is typical with an acquisition there's residual divide between projects which originated from the BT Inc side of the company and those from the TRON side. BTFS is very much a product of the TRON side despite using the BitTorrent branding.
