There's no blockchain involved or cryptocurrency, you do not need to pay to make a transaction, votes are one-user-one-vote rather than weighted by ownership of the currency, it is easily capable of federating with non-Peertube services due to Activitypub.
LBRY uses IPFS to achieve P2P data transfer, while Peertube uses webtorrent or HLS, with a preference towards the latter. Peertube also seems easier to set up, at least to me.
- orblivion 5y agoThe IPFS on LBRY also means that the videos themselves don't have a "home" on one particular server. It's more like torrenting files. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that if you take down a server holding a peertube video, it's not as though clients who have seen the video (or even federated servers?) would continue serving that video. The P2P aspect is merely a bandwidth saving scheme when clients are playing the video?
- DoItToMe81 5y agoAnother server has to set up a video redundancy for the clip for that to happen. Otherwise, yeah, it just goes poof. Avoiding this is one of the major benefits of IPFS.
- orblivion 5y agoIt's cool that redundancy is a built-in feature at least.
