As mentioned in #5, the project my addon links to is kinda a academical project on self-organising systems. Could this possibly be regarded as an exception in Forum Rules 2.5.4.B? As it aims to share files in a completely decentralized and anonymous way, we can't stop some people from coming up with some bad ideas.
It's innocent until proven guilty, or more relevantly until users and others subvert it that way.
My post above was a comment and semi warning only of something to keep in mind. Hence why this thread is still active and not in the bin...
Thank you for not putting this thread in the bin!
Some background on Tribler. I'm the faculty member at Delft University of Technology working on for the past 18 years on creating open collaborative systems that scale (pre-wikipedia). We've had many failures over the past years on how to build trust and create sustainable cooperation.
Our current Tribler work actually contained one of the worlds first primitive ledgers in Aug 2007 (pre-bitcoin), see our bandwidth-as-a-currency work together with Harvard University,

With the great work going on of adding Tribler support into Kodi we're taking a new step into this long-term scientific journey. Our own 3rd generation blockchain fabric, decentral market, credit mining, and investment functions are getting ready for live usage.
Our work is sponsored by the European Union, Dutch government, banks, and various companies. They sponsor us to create a new type of online economy, with one showcase being a European Youtube-like system. Where artists can be directly paid for their content creation, without any middleman extorting their cut. This is made for the desktop and hopefully will end up in Kodi somehow. Currently there are 21 developers working with TUDelft
http://blockchain-lab.org and thus you might hear more about our ongoing work in the future. As an official government employee we don't break laws and will stick to Kodi communicate guidelines. However, our scientific work is on a collision course with outdated business models.. See screenshot below of our operational code:
