The censorship is probably just less obvious, you may not get banned for tweeting something "controversial", the algorithms will just shadowban it and nobody sees the tweet.
When trying to replace YouTube, would streaming with Bittorrent make technical sense?
I imagine a bittorrent based streaming client, with nostr discovery, would be the only thing that could scale while being censorship resistant and offer good UX/speed?
Probably not the best for small creators with only themselves seeding, but if 100 subscribers seed a video I imagine it could be fast.

Yeah that's what I thought, but maybe it would be possible to build clients that cache the last X videos and seed them while tab is open.
Another solution I could imagine people offering high bandwith seeding of torrents creators could pay for, maybe as DVM.
You upload a video, pay 1000sats for seeding in Europe + US for 30days. Then hopefully it should have enough natural seeders. You think this would work?
Nice thing with torrents is they are so interoperable so everyone can offer seeding etc. no special APIs or closed providers.
People run Nostr Relays for free too. And if the content you host relevant to you personally (subscriber of the channel) the incentive may is higher too.
Ofc not forever etc but if enough users seed their favourite videos it could maybe work. Maybe clients could handle this intelligent, just allocate 10gb storage for NosTube and it seeds some stuff in the background.
You can stream torrents, most clients have an option to download from beginning and end instead of randomly so you can play the video directly after starting the download, just not possible to forward etc, but maybe it would be possible to do this too?👀
I understand that taking away the random order makes it slower but still like the idea of torrents because of the big amount of available clients / implementations already available.
Was wondering how YouTube etc do the random seek as they don't have do download the whole file for that either, maybe it would be possible to do something similar with torrents, idk. You know the file size, and length of the video from headers, so you could tell the torrent client to download from byte X which should be around minute Y of the video.
I'm not very knowledgeable about torrents in detail, so thanks for the input.
Would be pretty cool. I think the concept would be the same, just with a Terminal interface.
I think the concept would work better for large creators/influencers/movies but for small creators without seeding followers or paying for seeding it wouldn't work so well
The problem would still be that someone has to seed the torrents. Maybe it'd be possible to build a torrent client that signals he has the file available but only seeds it is paid for. Would be cool to have an incentive for seeding but still keeping the unmodified bittorrent protocol below for compatibility. This way infrastructure could emerge by itself mhh
I hope something like this will be built, would love to stream some ecash for a torrent
Not sure if this would be interesting as most chapters are probably not relevant for all users.
An introduction to GrapheneOS audiobook (why, how, open source, privacy) to share with interested friends would be great IMO.
Currently I'm often getting this error when trying to zap on Nostr with nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p07xr4s5 and the coinos mint, not sure if the issue is in minibits or the mint but a update won't hurt anyways in this quickly evolving space

Not sure about the exact cost but the workbench seemed pretty cheap to me. I loaded ~5$ which lasted for a long time with sonnet. You can try it very easy with an anthropic account.
Already have a bunch of old hww's lying around so I thought the jade could maybe be used for something else too as it has Bluetooth and a camera. But couldn't find any 3rd party project/app so I'll just sell it as I don't want to invest time writing something.
Thanks for the input, javacards seem pretty fun have to check them out at one point.
Chainalysis hates this one simple trick:

This sounds very useful, i also imagine part of the problem is just getting the delete event distributed. For now I used a blaster relay but they also only send to the X biggest relays. Would be cool if clients would rebroadcast important events like delete too.
No chance to get a larger amount in my experience (except you contact the maintainers I guess).
Mutinynet has a great faucet, but you need a fork of core.
Please lmk if you find a more reliable sbtc source than those two horrible faucets😆
