Eventually possible to get something like YouTube built over Nostr protocol? We need a place for cencorship-resistant video sharing.

Definitely

I guess if the videos were all hosted on IPFS, then it could be possible, right #[6] ?

IPFS is 💩, ask #[6] and he will tell you all about that.

Using webtorrent with magnet uris shared over nostr seems the way to go.

hmm. interesting. that's a hell of an idea actaully.

Leechers stream sats to the seeders

I really, really like it. And it's a fuck you to scammer Justin Sun and what he did to BitTorrent with his scammer token.

Just wanted to add that nostr network doesn't necessarily have to do it all.  Keet.io already has fully peer to peer video and text chat worked out and eventually they claim it will be a fully open source protocol.  For video chat might be less ideal to stream thru nostr relays.

agree. I really like keet.io for peer to peer video conferencing.

I have a working proof of concept downloading WebTorrent `magnet:` URIs in Astral…

Awesome, can't wait to play with it. I can't believe I'm not following you already.

Agreed. IPFS don't work. I tried. Multiple times.

We already have LBRY

you mean the thing that the SEC called an unregistered security? no ty.

Yeah that's the shitcoin but isn't the video streamed on the bittorrent network if I remember correctly? You can use it with no exposure to the shitcoin.

Or you could just use nostr without having anything whatsoever to do with any shitcoins at all 🤷‍♂️

Does the protocol work well for video in theory?

not right now but I’m sure it will

And even if it doesn't , the nostr message could be the ".torrent" file that point to the video . That way users help with the bandwidth instead of overwhelming the relays.
