How LBRY works: .GIF on the Blockchain. + Spee.ch

in #lbry8 years ago (edited)

WATCH THIS GIF-ANIMATION!:.... Or read the single slides below.

---------------------------------------

GIF ENDED. Pictures of the slides below.

This is the LBRY App. But let us not concentrate too much on it yet.

  • The LBRY App is now in its closed beta stage, and will be released as open beta soon.
  • Join LBRY mailing list using my referral link: https://lbry.io/get?r=j3of2
  • Now is the time to learn about some similarities between the LBRY App and Spee.ch :
  • LBRY App  & Spee.ch are both reading and publishing digital files using the LBRY blockchain protocol.

https://Spee.ch is a website which publishes and reads; images and GIF-animations, using the LBRY blockchain.

Yesterday I drew, designed and wrote this GIF animation "How LBRY works: An introduction to LBRY", using photoshop.

I published it using LBRY App at the address:

lbry://lbry-intro-gif

But you can not open that link directly; because you do not have LBRY installed... YET.

But this link you CAN open:

https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-gif

This means the webpage server at https://spee.ch has the LBRY blockchain implemented,

it reads the LBRY blockchain, and shows it to you; using the same name of the link/claim.

This means the same file "lbry-intro-gif.gif" on my computer exists both as a link on the LBRY blockchain and on the http://spee.ch website server.

  • Anyone with good programming experience can make an App or a Website like https://spee.ch.


I also posted the source images there:

(Look at the bottom of the page aswell. :)


LBRY is secure: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-01-slide-01

Miners power the network and get money rewards: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-01-slide-02

The network consists of the miners and the community: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-01-slide-03

LBRY App will deny access to illegal or copyrighted content: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-01-slide-04-illegal-content

You can publish your legally owned content on LBRY: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-02-slide-01-1

You set your own price for each download from the viewer: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-02-slide-02

LBRY has a name-claim bidding system, where the name with the highest bid is shown first: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-02-slide-03

First you host your own files, and later let viewers host them for you: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-02-slide-04

You can search for any content on the LBRY App, and download it: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-03-slide-01

You can make money if you host content for other people: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-03-slide-02

LBRY is a free market of digital files, and provides more freedom of speech than any other popular distributing platform we have today: https://spee.ch/lbry-intro-page-03-slide-03

LBRY needs your help

We need some designer to re-design this ugly https://spee.ch -page ( Visit the github: https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch )

And also: We need a programmer to turn this gif-presentation into a HTML, or something similar? (So the buttons work, etc... )

  • Join the lbry.slack.com and take the challenge :) You will probably get some Library Credits (LBC) for it.
  • You can also access the Photoshop file (PSD) if you get yourself the LBRY App. (lbry://lbry-intro-psd <-This is the link you use in LBRY App for the PSD. file.)
  • When you are finished, you can post the HTML-page on our Github. at https://github.com/lbryio

Or maybe you can translate all parts of this presentation into your own language? There are many things to do: check the https://lbry.io/bounty for an overview of rewards for some LBRY assignments

Come join us in the https://lbry.slack.com chatroom. We are over 5,000 members now.

Psssssssst....

This is not for everyone:

  1. Are you tired of just joining mailing lists?
  2. Do you think you have what it takes to be a good LBRY supporter/contributor/developer/writer/publisher?

If you answer "Yes" to these two questions; then I have a secret for you:
Join the lbry.slack.com and say exactly this :


"I just saw the Introduction to LBRY and I want to contribute in any way possible: What can I do?"

I am sure they will send you the LBRY App closed beta version.

And maybe even give you a couple of free Library Credits.

Great information, I was looking for something like this. LBRY sounds like the most interesting altcoin I have discovered so far. I will make a video about it using some of your information of yours. Thank you.

I made this post 8 months ago... Now I have created https://LBRY.Community - for Content Creators, Users and Developers - The Ultimate Headquarter for Projects built on the LBRY Protocol.

Interesting tech!

Takk for at du fikk meg hit med linkene dine fra face:)

Great write up, this will help explaing LBRY a lot, thanks.
