According to a report by TorrentFreak , there is a torrent website that has begun to reward users with incentives if they enable the feature of mining cryptocurrency for that Torrent website.
TorrentFreak added that the un-named private torrent tracker targets to an invite only torrent platform and that it has made the feature optional, now what they are doing is that they will reward users with "upload credit" which can be used by the user to upload content on to the site but all this is only possible if the user let their CPU power to mine cryptocurrency for that Torrent Site.
This new feature will mine Monero and then it will allow the users to trade it for credits.
I think that this a great way to keep their site running and having a reward system triggers the mind of users to do more in this case the users will stay on the site for like overnight and mine Monero for that website and then further trade them for credits which can be used to download and upload content on that torrent website.

Would users be able to withdraw the mined monero?... It is an interesting approach, though how many people would be interested in mining just to get access to a torrent site?
The payout is excruciatingly low and they also take 30% off of your earnings when you withdrawl @ a minimum of 0.1 XMR.
