Oddbean new post about login | logout Who’s working on video solutions for #nostr? I wanna help in any way I can - lmk how 🤙 Lets make this happen
Building a nostr native YouTube
We were just discussing that earlier. The biggest challenge seems to be hosting costs as you try to scale
Hosting costs are underestimated. Bitstream streams data for sats, bit by bit, in a trust-minimized way… the relay can’t take your Lightning payment unless they deliver the data requested by the user. https://www.hornetstorage.com/bitstream Shoutout to Robin Linus of ZeroSync for inventing it! If you don’t host videos across many relays, you are stuck on the centralized internet. That will not last forever, as we can see YouTube cracking down on innocent Bitcoiners.
This is super interesting and I want to understand how this works
Do you know how Lightning works? Essentially, you must reveal a preimage in order to claim a payment in Lightning. We leverage that system to deliver the data chunk: nostr:note1q7erwjnzgfe9s7pypakv20gr4wwzd6q0e7yqyxh658q5j2nw30qszslda6
ZapStream. It even has VOD storage.
I don’t have the technical chops but I had a vision of #BitTorrent+#nostr+#lightning prisms where incentives are built in for either making, seeding, and/or promoting videos.
Sounds interesting. I don’t have any idea how to make that happen either. But we need it
Yo, lightning.video
👍🏻
I'd love to see lighting.video get nostr nsec/extension login support. It's cool they've got ln auth, but tying more directly into nostr would be cool.
Getting there, started with nip05 for channels but full assimilation is on the roadmap.
I've heard that npub1t89vhkp66hz54kga4n635jwqdc977uc2crnuyddx7maznwfrpupqwra5h9 is doing something like that in https://www.hornetstorage.com He also talks about a github replacement. The tldr is with this new type of relay he is working on, you could make apps that require a lot of storage and bandwidth by slowing logarithmically the bandwidth requirement as the number of files in the app increases note1f5qutkc73s3jpez6wk9r3gtyehmclh5qrmryuvw7u28wljwn9hdq6ty2lr #asknostr nevent1qqsva3nhs6pkxr48ym6rtg7lt39nrjja62dxmu2ygyvu8xheqazcsscpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqyg870a4udaen3dmth7qdksp2meje203qkteruehgnqsykc7vgffe5vpsgqqqqqqs75n2f5
