This makes a lot of sense on Blackberry's side, making their enterprise security offering stronger and utilizing their strong advantage in the field, but does that mean they'll become an enterprise software company?
It's really unusual though to have a seed ratio of 1 by the time a torrent has finished downloading. There's no way this is sustainable unless you make the movies hang around after they're watched and continue seeding into the future.
The key difference between Popcorntime and 'normal' torrents is that it's not "by the time a torrent has finished downloading" but "by the time you have finished watching the movie".
In order to use Popcorntime, you'd pretty much have to have a connection speed where downloading the movie is significantly faster than watching it (a few minutes at a reasonable speed/quality) and by the time the movie ends you have downloaded it once but uploaded many times.
And given the way the tech works, you can ignore ADSL users with restricted upload speeds and other similar groups - the total average is disproportionally influenced by high-speed users; so if for every dozen ADSL users there's a single FTTH user, then the total still works out well - 10 users with a ratio of 0.1 are equalized by a single user with a ratio of 10.

If you are streaming, you will very likely be downloading faster than you can play the file (people who download slower won't be streaming). So you will be seeding a lot longer.
Isn't this just piggybacking on normal torrents on TPB. There are tons of seeds already by people that want to keep a copy locally and seed for months.
What was your exact problem with Wordpress? We seem to share the same architectural needs (although we only work in 2 lanuguages, but one of them is LTR and the other is RTL) and we have Wordpress working perfectly for us.
We had to tweak it a little bit, using plugins and some extra dev adaptation (mostly for performance, not language related), but it does the work.
We've tried a few other like silverstripe and Ionize, but both were way to complicated and required a cumbersome process much like the one you mentioned in your post.
We try to be very playful and original with our design and Wordpress don't give the sort of freedom we are after.
When testing out wordpress for the translation aspects, I guess it could work. However we are not found of the solution. It duplicates and dumps a document to the database which slows down the pages. Django handles translations much better.
Tried it with an empty wallet, just for funsies, looks like it doesn't even work yet, based on this on top of my dashboard, "We're working on a new version- this is not ready for production use!"
Also, looking at the embed code, and from that the embed itself, it looks like its not doing anything. So, I'm guess this is just a very "wouldn't this be nice" demo.
Yup, I think they're rewriting some parts of the code since it was put together at a hackathon. It's a really interesting idea but I feel like they would really need to crank up the power of the mining client to match the current network rates in order to get near ad revenue (or implement some kind of altcoin mining pool algorithm).
Interesting Observation. We've also noticed similar outcomes on other foreign language pages. Will test on English page with the same ads and let you know.
