Or, they are just looking for people who are comfortable in front of a camera, have some editing skills, and know how to make an interesting <1 minute video - which is a pretty desirable skill depending on who you ask.

Bitcoin's "magic property" is the faith that the miners have. It has been hardforked, but the majority of computing power has chosen to stay on Bitcoin.

I believe they were talking about Bitcoin wallets, not card providers.

This is an official Twitter product.

That is how r/wallstreetbets users refer to themselves.

Why do you think it is an April Fools prank?

This is being worked on

If they don't want to pass people that aren't wearing masks, shouldn't they stay home?

Yes, but I've lived here for 20 years and have never run into one while camping/canoeing. They are more active (but still sparse) in the Upper Peninsula.

It can be hidden from our official apps (but turned off by commenting out a single line in the UI code[0]). That content is still accessible via the LBRY sdk[1], and it is not possible for the company to remove it from the network.

Nice. Checkout https://odysee.com/$/gaming for more curated gaming content. Odysee is another (more centralized) frontend built on top of the LBRY protocol.

I work for LBRY inc, and am happy to answer any questions people have.

It is easy. https://lbry.com/youtube

I am the UI engineer for lbry.tv/lbry desktop app.

This is a really hard problem and we've taken an incremental approach too (mostly because our team is so small). We sorta have an opt-in system since you can use lbry.tv or the app without owning any LBC.

I'm planning to spend some more time really digging into our onboarding flows over the next couple of months to make this crypto knowledge dump a lot easier for new users to understand.

That one is filed! https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/3134

Just haven't gotten to it yet. We're a pretty small team right now.

It uses the blockchain to store pointers to find the data in a p2p network.

Anyone can build an app that interacts with the LBRY network through the lbry-sdk (https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk). To be fair though, our company is the only one working on apps atm. But you could build one in any language you want.

Did you check out LBRY? If so what did you not like about it?

I work on https://lbry.tv and the desktop app and am just curious.

His videos are great.

His whole channel is also on LBRY if you don't like YouTube https://beta.lbry.tv/@3Blue1Brown

Can you share the problem that took a couple of years to figure out?

Using black saves the most energy, but using gray still uses less energy than white. For a gray pixel, OLED devices just lower the power output for that pixel.

I'm pretty sure it works a little differently, but that's the idea.

We can remove data from our official apps (or at least hide it). We do this for dmca requests.

But if someone is hosting it, anyone can access it through the command line, or if they take our app code and remove a couple lines.

Another way to look at it is, `http` isn't responsible for preventing illegal content to be shared, `lbry` is the same.

Yep. The lbry urls are handled by the protocol, there is no way for a company to block someone from accessing that channel.

I could outbid that person so that the short url is directed to my channel, but that person will always have a url at lbry://@SomebodyUnpopular#xyz123...

We employ about 20 people full time - check out our team page at https://lbry.io/team. There are a few folks not listed there, we'll be updating that soon.

We aren't all part of the PR team, we have various roles across the company like CEO, CTO, developers, engineers, and quality assurance

I work on the desktop app. https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop

Users get censored and demonetized all the time. Recently they also started messing (as a small test) with changing the thumbnails that users chose after they published a video.

It is not viable to create a business on YouTube. In one day, it could be gone.

All the code for our search engine is open source https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse

You could also run your own search server if you don't want to use that one.

But that is only part of discovery. Another is built into the protocol. I can navigate to `lbry://bitconnect`, to see what has been published at that url. There is no way to spoof this part since it happens at the protocol layer.

Also if your interested, https://spee.ch/bitconnect. Spee.ch is a web wrapper for the lbry:// protocol. `spee.ch/url` will serve the same file as `lbry://url` (but is limited by different file types. There are more viewers in the app like a 3d file viewer.)

They went through a search server we own that runs chainquery. https://github.com/lbryio/chainquery

It parses the blockchain and syncs it with a SQL db. Anyone can run their own search server and adjust it as they see fit.

You can `abandon` your claim. https://spec.lbry.io/#claim-operations

This removes it and gives back your deposit for staking a lbry url.

Also, as horrible as it is, the post right below this one is titled: On YouTube, a Network of Paedophiles Is Hiding in Plain Sight

It's hard to prevent entirely, even if you fully control the network.

Content creators would benefit from lbry if they want to share files other than videos (, don't want to worry about being deplatformed, or want full control of their data.

Users may want to use it if they want to support their favorite creators without going through someone else. If they choose to support their favorite creators with micropayments or subscriptions, no one gets to take a cut off the top.

Ideally, it would allow creators to earn more money, and allow users to give more support to their favorite creators.
