How can I post long-form videos here on Nostr like I do on Youtube/X?
Discussion
You can compress the video into a 720P version and upload it to nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 (I would recommend the paid account)

Im working on a decentralized, nostr based video platform. At the moment the videos must be hosted by a desktop app called "WebTorrent Desktop" then the magnet link can be posted to nostr along with a title, description and thumbnail image.
Its still in early development and missing many features.
But viewers and audiences can also help support the video hosting.
Also, scaling to more than 50 HD videos on a single desktop computer is currently the biggest challenge.
fuck yeah
Interesting... Followed and looking forward to your progress! 🙌
I noticed that you using NIP-78 (Arbitrary custom app data) do you think about using NIP-71 (Video Events)?
I considered it but it didn't support the fields I needed like magnet links, and eventually audio and podcast info like track number etc. So creating my own spec seemd like the best option. Plus I really wanted bitvid to only support magnet link and webtorrent webRTC media content.
There are and will be tons of nostr video clients that point to a http link somewhere and nip-71 is perfect for that purpose, but I felt like webRTC required a special place due to the necessity of seeding.
And the same applies to the torrent nip. I can remember the number. But it had similar issues just on the bittorrent side rather than Webtorrent, which is what I am using.

Nice, but why not blossom?

nostr.build is the best way right now
We're in need of some video-focused clients. Right now we mainly just have Flare.pub and zap.stream
Flare.pub would be the closest to YouTube.
NIP-71 (kind 21 and 22) Video Events
> The thought is for events of this kind to be referenced in a Netflix, YouTube, or TikTok like nostr client where the video itself is at the center of the experience.
I am using https://satellite.earth/ for my video's.
We need a nostr client with built in torrent software for this use case imo
