 Introducing Nostr Plays Pokémon, an experimental crowd controlled live stream!

Inspired by the original Twitch Plays Pokémon, this version allows you to optionally attach sats to your inputs via zaps.

Check it out on my new live streaming client!

 Cool! Fun design man! 
 Thanks man!! 💯 
 Lvl 8 Squirtle so far! 😂 
 He’s gonna smoke Brock haha 
 Do you have a command for bulk inputs? Up*10? For example? 
 Yeah if you zap the command you can do multipliers like “start9”.
Considering adding it to regular chat messages too 
 What are the instructions? I don't know how to play this thing! 
 You can control the gameboy by writing chat messages like “a”, “b”, or “up”.
Zap messages can contain modifiers like “start9”. 
 Why are you asking for a signature for an event kind -1? 
 I use it to authenticate on my backend lol 
 I did that a while ago and it was all I could think of 
 That's fine, but maybe use kind 27235 (no need to follow the entirety of the https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/98.md spec I think) just so people know what they're signing. 
 Appreciate the input!
I’ll switch to that asap 👍🏼 
 Fixed. Thanks!! 
 What does your backend do? Do you host the livestreams for people? 
 alternate meanings of this wording make me uncomfortable 
 Yeah. I have it disabled atm because it was expensive.

I built this before I knew about Nostr using all the LNURL stuff 
 Currently trying to build tools to support self hosted streams like owncast.
I have tools available for OBS here

 Maybe donate some sats too! It would get more eyes on it.  
 Thinking of making a bounty.
I’ll throw in a bunch of sats to donate to @OpenSats if we manage to beat the game
