As of now, the Upfiring in-app wallet has passed initial testing and is safe to use. You can use the application to safely generate a new password-protected Upfiring wallet that can store both UFR and ETH. Generating an Upfiring wallet creates a .json file, so you can load your Upfiring wallet in many other major wallet services like MyEtherWallet. If you already have ETH or UFR stored in a wallet, you’ll also be able to load that wallet directly into the application using your wallet’s .json file or private key and immediately begin using the application.

UFR can easily be transferred into and out of the Upfiring smart contract using your wallet by using the “Withdraw” and “Replenish Funds” buttons. Your wallet is treated like an “account”, and has access to an amount of UFR in the Upfiring smart contract equal to your total amount earned by seeding + the amount you have transferred into the contract manually. You can use your UFR in the smart contract to download Upfiring files or withdraw it to your wallet at any time.

Upfiring has the potential to become one of the first truly useful dApps that solves an ever-prevalent issue — the seeder problem — and changes the way people think about sharing and seeding files. When we know of a set-in-stone date for the official release of the application, we will announce it on all our social platforms.
