I assume not many viewers then. $5 gives like 10K mins? 🐶🐾🫡

Not sure. Yeah maybe not many viewers.
I am trying to think of a better (cheaper) solution for live streaming. Just video is doable already, streaming is a tricky one. 🐶🐾🤔
nostr:npub1y3uh89v5a4vq92t8q0j6su94zhvcdxpywjn3l6hpsr5welarqtrqj7yzhd did an article showing how to spin up a VPS on the cheap and do it yourself. Looked very approachable even for admin newbies.
Depends on where you are watching it from and how many are watching. But we want seamless experience (something like Instagram or whatever) 🐶🐾🫡
Seems from what he was telling me, itd be bandwidth dependent. A lot of VPSs have 1GB unmetered… prolly be a while before you’d outgrow that.
“Unmetered” is the key. It’s all up to a limit if you can even get the full 1Gb out to start with. 🐶🐾🫡
Hmm. Like you said, all about provider. I was pushing ~200GB a month out of my Oracle instance, but I wasn’t streaming video.
We will break things and find out though! I like what jascha did because it’s decentralized. Might not be an issue for most streamers - bigger ones would possibly need a more tailored service which would be self funded by zaps.
Yeah, we need to think in terms of non-tech moms and dads. I can do it, but nobody in my family would be able to even understand the concepts behind it🐶🐾🤣
To be fair, setting up a good stream is not easy on any platform atm. I used to be on twitch. That was a nightmare to get right.
If we make it good, we’ll see a huge adoption by a large population! Let’s think hard how we can do it.
Also, nostr:npub1rhaxmxxgs5jkw4zesrptnwd5nrknh5lkaxnlzzegz9vphlgfdlqsjmej47 consider this angle. I really want to make streaming a thing for nostr. Imagine scrolling a feed of stream in real-time and then picking one you want! 🐶🐾🤯
That's why testing with nostr:npub1c9w7fj2urxtw4z8te9rr7j69scn0rnvk4s5uzcsuxrrqnxasasks03405h 🤙
lowendbox.com is a fantastic place to find some dirt cheap VPS/dedicated servers all over the globe at ridiculously low prices. The place is very community driven, so ask away if you require something special.
Also, if it's really cheap, don't feel too bad if it fails to live up to its expectations, but the reviews usually tell you want you need to know.
Good luck!
