uTorrent's mining of BitCoins is not exactly novel, but the initial implementations (due to lack of informing even Beta users) upped the program to borderline Malware with many Anti-virus programs. Turning off the crypto currency mining is not an option in the "Advanced Options", so there is still some work to be done to make the implementation fully street legal. BitTorrent Sync does not yet to BitCoin mining, but it may soon anyway. BitTorrent INC -- at least with respect to the lawful setup and running of some of its programs ... really should be doing "Class Action Lawsuits" with respect to some of its programs vs some Anti-virus entities like "Norton" (part of Intel-INC) and others ... ++++++++++++ BitCoin Utopia is however, quite legal and well within the terms of the way the BOINC framework can be used. The global macro-economy is a fragile one, so for a scientific project to use or depend somewhat on any cryptocurrencies is a reasonable "self protection measure" ... ++++++++++++ Because BOINC's framework is entirely of US origin, its terms (and terms enforcement) outside the US "are really only within the terms of nation where the localized BOINC project server resides" -- and in spite of some of the recent changes in the framework governance of the BOINC system not much has changed.
