@unfa @sudo I am not completely against crypto currencies because it atleast tries to challenge the payment industry. But I can't stand anyone who joined the hypetrain because of greed and the resulting toxic community and the millions of shitcoins. The evironmental impact and the low payment network throughput are all propblems which needs to be resolved.

But hate against crypto currencies is also stupid. It is a premature technology which isn't inherently evil.

@interru @sudo I don't think any technology is inherently evil. Technology is just w tool - and every tool can be used to help others, or hurt them. I just see a lot more hurt coming out of crypto than good. What I mostly see are scams, pump'n'dumps and pointless startups burning through investor money and gullible people's savings. Get-rich-quick-no-matter-the-cost mentality.
This makes it really hard for me to find anything actually useful and worthwhile in there.

@unfa I understand that you may not like Odysee as it is built around cryptocurrency. However, technically speaking, isn't Odysee a more 'mature' video sharing platform than PeerTube? I hope you can reconsider.

@sudo I can - maybe it's one of the few good uses of crypto? I am mirroring my videos to LBRY, and I've even covered it on my channel when it was not released yet :)
I think LBRY is focused on building a monetizable platform for creators - PeerTube is focusing on building a resilient, ecological platform to just share videos. I do my funding through Patten and Liberapay, and I think this works well. I am not sure I'd like to have my funding and distribution in one place...
We'll see!

@unfa I wasn't really talking about cryptocurrency. Besides, since you are already mirroring your videos to Odysee, I personally don't think it will make a huge difference if you host your livestreams there as well. It's a good alternative to doing livestreams on #YouTube. Several creators are already doing it. I know PeerTube was also planning on implementing livestreams. If they have already, it would be great if you could host it there at least. It's just my opinion. 🙂

@sudo Well, I am testing PeerTube streaming, but it's very bare bones so far and quite frustrating to use. Streaming on Odysee - didn't try it het.

@unfa You are a Level 5 creator on Odysee. You should be able to livestream. #ChrisTitusTech did a livestream over there, if you are interested. He kind of tests it out and even goes on to implement a chat overlay.
