Personally I hope for a good decentralized (actually decentralized, not d.live) streaming network to take off.
- gmueckl 6y agoA decentralized streaming network is technically infeasible with the current Internet. Keep in mind that every watcher adds upload bandwidth requirements to a node somewhere else in the network. Consumer network connections are too asymmetric for that.
- TremendousJudge 6y agoI have streamed live sports events using p2p for years and it works just fine.
- corobo 6y agoGot a write up or demo? Pure curiosity of how it works
- TremendousJudge 6y agoNope, I have nothing. The most popular thing out there is Acestream, which is a weird Russian fork of VLC that is probably spyware but it "just works". It's closed source and I have never seen anything written as to how it works, sadly. My point was along the lines of, p2p streaming is feasible with current infrastructure because it already works under those less than ideal conditions
- corobo 6y agoNo worries, I wasn't trying to call you out or anything it just sounded cool :)

- jowsie 6y agoAlmost every streamer will have twitter/instagram because it's near impossible to get sponsorships/brand deals without them.
