How does zap.stream use the nostr protocol? Does it just allow zaps? Are the videos centrally hosted? Or transmitted via the connected relays?
Is zap.stream censorship resistant?
Discussion
It works by listing out streams that people publish. So it’s like an index of peoples streams.
You can either manually stream from your own equipment or use one provided by zap.stream. The latter costs about 10 sats per minute.
Here’s a guide on using it nostr:note13rzyhscm4hf6uua5tnaplfrj344h9l59a5cvh5fe8czm3e78a9vqkpc7ln
Thank you. 🙏
No problem. I love that site.
I’m usually on nostr:npub12hcytyr8fumy3axde8wgeced523gyp6v6zczqktwuqeaztfc2xzsz3rdp4 stream while fiat mining.
Also very simple to set up your own stream with OBS and using zap’s server.
Love that it “just works”
ZapStream uses a vide range of nostr events not only zaps. Everything no nostr is native and you can already embed notes, goals, emote packs and other things directly into ZapStream's chat instead of sending viewers from one site to another to a third site to view nostr content.
Is it censorship resistant? Yes and no. You can run your own server or connect through cloudflare or you can use the hosted solution provided by ZapStream but even ZapStream has some ToS. So if you receive a DMCA then ZapStream has to act on it because you're breaking the law. Outside of that it's as free speech as everything on nostr - minus Primal lol
