How rich do you need to be to do this? Serious.

I hitchhiked across the USA from Washington to New York on 100 bucks, a pack with a sleeping bag, tent, tarp, change of cloths and a couple other random items.

After New York we went to Virginia where I spent some time with a friend I met online. Later I ended up getting super sick and got a staph infection and had to abort mission and got a bus ride home, took 4 days, fucking horrible time.

I am jealous of your multinational experience.

So from what I understand, LBRY is a user based platform where users can upload whatever content they would like, be it videos of cats, instructional videos, music, child porn, or text documents.

These files are then sent to their LBRY domain, and the user must pay for the bandwidth to upload them, and for when other users access them?

The "domain", for lack of a better word, can then be stolen by other users simply by them buying it or putting a higher bid on it? That seems utterly fucking stupid.

Not only that, but we have to host all of the content ourselves from our own drive space, and pay for it via bandwidth saturation, and have browser plugins in order to even use LBRY. The amount of red flags here is staggering.

This entire thing seems like a huge fucking scam.

  • Where is the content stored?

  • Why did you create your own crypto currency for this, rather than just using bitcoin, or a standard currency system such as paypal direct transfers.

  • Isn't this essentially just a torrent hosting site similar to other ones? Why would I use this rather than an alternative, that does this better and more easily, and doesn't cost me money to use?

  • What about this "technology" is any different or special?

  • How will you deal with people who upload illegal or copyrighted content? I know you said "the same way HTTP does" but that means nothing at all..

You keep calling it a "technology" but that doesn't mean anything. Youtube is also a technology, pornhub is a technology, walking sticks are a technology.
