Had a great conversation with nostr:nprofile1qqs8yhhrevfm7kd8w0wd39q5dt3pux9cmnl2m6y0wqzsh3can47ngggpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qz9nhwden5te0vdsjuun9d3shjctzd3jjummjvul7km3q today and he had a question I wasn't 100% sure on:

What's the current easiest way to upload full movies (several GB) onto Nostr since flare .pub fizzled out?

I assume it's (a) Run your own server or (b) nostr:nprofile1qqsfnz2sqsflkatdssmeztxr90s8xrd7r07xkhfwaa6eu9zkcguljpgprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqyv8wumn8ghj7am9d33k7mt99ehx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwphhyar9d4hkuetjduhxxmmdh047hg. Any other methods I'm missing?

Nostr relays don't store media files directly. They handle events, which are structured as JSON data. To share videos, you'll need to first upload them to a separate media server. Once uploaded, you can then paste the URL of your video into a Nostr note.

CDN.satellite.earth ?

Its not there yet, but if the goal is to have video hosting like youtube then transcoding the video to HLS, renaming the chunks with sha256 then uploading to blossom would work well.

But if the goal is to host full movies then torrents are probably better (since they are already being used for that)

The future is bright… always options 👌

#bitstr but people don't care enough to help make it work
