Bitcoin Q&A: Proprietary Editable Blockchains & Patent Trolls Video

Keywords/phrases: Proprietary editable blockchains and patent trolls. Patents mainly slow down the commercial companies in the space that are interested in doing proprietary technology. Patent pools as a defense against expensive litigation. They're not going to affect the open-source voluntary-based software that we really care about, because you can't stop that with patents. I've expressed my confusion as to why people are not seeing the desirability of irreversible contractual agreements between parties, which can still allow for refunds and multi-signature consumer protection. Irreversibility is not a bug, it's one of the most useful features. It is a system that encourages autonomy instead of authority. "Editable blockchain," in the passive voice, simply means a blockchain which can be edited, but then there is still the subject question of "by whom" and "under what circumstances"? It is not a useful construct because we already have those, we already have institutional money and authoritarian systems of control and censorship. What we have now with Bitcoin is autonomy and censorship-resistance. Patenting something doesn't mean it's useful or interesting or novel.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
