so basically a democratized youtube?
I think a federated YouTube would be more accurate

#92> Like YouTube, Flare lets you upload, view, comment, and like videos from your favorite creators. BUT unlike YouTube, we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just because we disagree
Oh, this will become another lair of hate speech, conspiracy theories and all kinds of content noone will want to touch with a stick, eh?

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here. In any other context, "paste in the private key that your identity is irrevocably bound to" would get you laughed out of the room. It seems to be the default nostr UX nonetheless, and that's worthy of note. I am aware of efforts to improve on this though, for example https://snort.social/e/note1crl44xk24yc2ym5xlyyfjdeumxueyguz... - essentially the equivalent of a custod…
He’s getting downvoted because that’s a solved problem in the wider crypto-space. To log in you sign a message using your hardware wallet. Nostr hasn’t grown up to that yet, and pointing out that pasting private keys is a bad idea is fair game. But implying that public private key cryptography can’t be used to log into web apps is just silly given that value worth billions is being moved around daily using such web a…
There's a reason why social logins, magic links and SMS login codes are so ubiquitous now - end users want 0 friction getting into their accounts. This increases friction beyond what is currently common practice. No, the public doesn't want nor care about using a key to log in.

How does Bitcoin cope with the fact that the DVD key (and probably a few other interesting things) are stored on the blockchain?

#95decentralized anything never works at scale, this is what all the techie founders never grasp. what happens if someone uploads a child porn video or cartel beheading video on your website? because of your algorithm ll stack things by watch time it ll get to the front page in no time. What measures/controls do you have because your site explicitly says "we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just because we di…
The replies to your comment point out what is technically feasible but not how it could actually work at any scale.
Part of the “job” that software like FB and YT and Gmail for that matter perform for users is to make so-called graphic content a non-issue.

#96Friendly reminder that "Nostr", just like all things with a missing vowel like this, is spelled "Nostrrrrrrrr" with the 'r' imitating an old vehicle's motor for a few seconds.
It's the way the users of this pattern want and like it.

#97The operating costs of a video platform are huge, who pays for all of this?

Let's be fair, though - most people using a censorship-resistant decentralized video platform are explicitly doing so to share and access "graphic content." Or at the very least consciously don't mind encountering such content on free speech absolutist principles alone.

Although i have heard of SQRL [1] which purports to be a frictionless way of securely logging in with public private key encryption. I've never seen it discussed here though so I'm unsure if there's significant downside
