Yeah that's what I thought, but maybe it would be possible to build clients that cache the last X videos and seed them while tab is open.

Another solution I could imagine people offering high bandwith seeding of torrents creators could pay for, maybe as DVM.

You upload a video, pay 1000sats for seeding in Europe + US for 30days. Then hopefully it should have enough natural seeders. You think this would work?

Nice thing with torrents is they are so interoperable so everyone can offer seeding etc. no special APIs or closed providers.

When trying to replace YouTube, would streaming with Bittorrent make technical sense?

I imagine a bittorrent based streaming client, with nostr discovery, would be the only thing that could scale while being censorship resistant and offer good UX/speed?

Probably not the best for small creators with only themselves seeding, but if 100 subscribers seed a video I imagine it could be fast.

Does nip5 specifically need to use .com’s?

Forgive me, but in what way is that a privacy concern. Aren't all of these notes public? Obviously excluding DMs

GM, #nostriches. Telegram's translation feature has really spoiled me. Are the any #nostr clients that effortlessly allow you to translate posts?

Do you pronounce “hodl” with:

1) a long “O” as in “no”?

2) a short “O” as in “hot”?

its organically happening, follows are not working for many of us.

for one, there are technical limitations on how big a follow list can be (this right here actually killed follows)

the other reason in the future i could see you wanting to not advertise to the world "who you follow".. keeping this data more in your control..

when #nostr realizes they kinda dont want follow lists. private lists served in realtime by specialty relays will become the interim standard..

Can anybody help me to test something sending the smallest possible amount of #bitcoin sats?

Thank you!

Monero is cash and can be treated as such. With Bitcoin a business is required to KYC and if any part of a transaction has what the authorities consider to be taint then your entire transaction can be frozen and the coins confiscated from you and the service not rendered. No thank you. That sounds like a horrible way to conduct business. Besides, custodial equals IOU and IOU equals can be removed at any time for any reason.

In that case, either convince your supplier to take Monero or buy extra of that thing and become a supplier for that item in Monero for other businesses like yours and make more profit.

If you are relying on centralized exchanges, instead of the circular economy, you have completely lost the plot. Also, there are people on Twitter who are literally trolling through people's transaction data and can say, oh, Elon Musk spent this amount of Bitcoin here and then spent this amount of Bitcoin at this other place and then converted this amount of Bitcoin to this amount of Dogecoin and spent it here, etc. That shit happens right now.

Why would a business want to accept Bitcoin and let their suppliers see how much they have and how much they make? Businesses would just use Monero instead.

why is everyone talking about squirrels? #asknostr
