RE: LBRY - Decentralized Content Marketplace on the Blockchain
Very cool! I am interested in both how crytpo can support creative content generation and in crypto which has direct uses as currency (rather than as a speculative trading token). Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Yeah this is still very new, but if you go to their Discord, you can see that it's pretty successful on a small scale already. I'm seeing a lot of content posted every day. Heck, just for being active on their Discord, I've gotten nearly 400 LBC.
I checked out their discord and it looks pretty neat. I'm a bit wary of downloading the app until I understand how content distribution works. I'm a bit overly cautious here, but I don't want to unintentionally install an IPFS node sharing data willy-nilly.
Yeah that's something I have to look into myself. It does seem like you're also sharing the content once you've downloaded it.

So long as we're only hosting what we've vetted, I'm ok with that.
