TLDR: Inspired by private torrent trackers, the idea is to create a decentralized video hosting market using Nostr for announcements and Bitcoin Lightning for payments.
Users buy "upload credit" (in sats) to compensate seedbox operators (running servers) for hosting video chunks.
Viewers can also earn sats by automatically caching and re-seeding videos they watch.
A potential initial step involves hosting on Blossom servers and using Nostr to coordinate the transition to a fully distributed, incentivized peer-to-peer network.
