Bitcoin Q&A: Microfinance & Streaming Money Video

Lightning Network and the new opportunities for managing cashflow timescales with streaming money and salaries, incoming inventory, selling goods, just-in-time delivery, credit etc. Streaming money integration into media. Digital rights management (DRM). One of the first demonstrations was a video streaming service (https://streamium.io/), which billed based on the number of minutes watched. Videos, educational courses, any time-based service can be transformed using this technology. The basic rule of DRM is that it doesn't work, because if my eyes can see it or my ears can hear it, so can a camera and microphone. It doesn't change piracy; it allows artists and content creators to connect directly with their audience rather than relying on centralized aggregation platforms.

Blockchains and micro-finance products in developing economies. Improving access to infrastructure. The exponential curve.

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. 📈
