jiggytom | 5 years ago | on: LBRY does to publishing, what Bitcoin did to money

We have a sync program (lbry.com/faq/youtube) that automatically mirrors content for creators if they authenticate their youtube channel - that's where most of the content comes from, apart from those uploaded directly by users. YouTubers are now also adopting it more and doing exclusives with us.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, gave me a huge smile!

If you share your channel or wallet address, will send a tip over!

You can actually use it for any type of file, but the main / most popular use case is video.

That is correct, we got a valid looking DMCA that was later disputed by the channel owner. It was unblocked. Then today, he deleted the channel and I haven't heard from him otherwise, so I'm not sure what's up.

There's also odysee.com and lbry.tv, both powered by a Bitcoin like network and P2P tech that enables a YouTube alternative.

Works today, lots of great content, earn crypto while using too.

Awesome, thank you for syncing! The sync process actually creates a separate channel for you, which is later transferred to your account. You can clean up the old channel: lbry.com/faq/youtube#cleanup

The above FAQ also explains the process in more detail. Let us know if you have any other questions!

jiggytom | 6 years ago | on: YouTube's ban on “hacking techniques” threatens to shut down infosec YouTube

Care to explain how to make a censorship resistant system without a blockchain? It's one of the best use cases for it, and everything LBRY promises would not be possible without it.

jiggytom | 6 years ago | on: YouTube's ban on “hacking techniques” threatens to shut down infosec YouTube

LBRY actually has one of the most valid uses of a blockchain. Don't you see what's happening on YouTube today with demonization and censorship? No hacking videos? Really.

This is the best test: https://spee.ch/a/doyouneedablockchain

Can you rephrase the question, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking - why should, or shouldn't?

jiggytom | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Before We Spend Millions, What Do You Think of This Blockchain Use Case?

Hey, thanks for the question! Give our app a try and I think you'll answer some of these questions for yourself: https://lbry.io/get - it uses an SPV wallet, so no need to host blockchain data.

There is very basic (to be improved soon!) search functionality in the app - it searches through lbry:// urls and content metadata from publishes. Any type of data can be published to lbry, including videos, images, pdfs, and more!

In terms of how it compares to EOS, I'm not sure, but our tech is specifically designed to content publishing, disovery and monetization. It also includes publisher identities and a payment mechanism in LBC.

jiggytom | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Before We Spend Millions, What Do You Think of This Blockchain Use Case?

Hey, thanks for the comments! We don't think it's a matter of verification / financial incentives for the blockchain use case, but instead, it's the censorship-resistant, permissionless, and spam prevention factors that count. If we had a centralized database, we could potentially limit access or overwrite records.

As far as discovery goes, we've developed a product that helps with exactly this problem - it's called Chainquery. It digests all the metadata from the blockchain into SQL tables that can be easily queried. Check it out at https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery/

jiggytom | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Before We Spend Millions, What Do You Think of This Blockchain Use Case?

Hey, thanks for the great question! That's a really tough problem to solve completely at the protocol layer but we also hope that making a public entry on a blockchain might deter this type of use-case. In terms of how LBRY would deal with it, check out our FAQ at https://lbry.io/faq/content

What are your views on DRM? We think it's a really tough problem to solve - especially once the data is decrypted, the cat is out of the bag!
