I think a cheap streaming solution using bittorrent would be awesome. You would still need a beefy seed host but otherwise I'd love to something like that exist

For a lot of cases, 60s of latency is fine.
- idiotsecant 4y agoFor streaming I think a big part of the experience is 'chat' all seeing what each other are commenting on the thing that is happening right now, and the streamer's interaction with chat. Throw in a 30-60s delay that is variable depending on user and you destroy that element.
- vorpalhex 4y agoIt just depends. Obviously "Twitch plays X" sort of content where there is a lot of audience participation isn't great with that much delay, but there are a lot of streamers where chat is more reactive than suggestive and a delay there just doesn't matter much. You may want to add in an artificial delay to chat though so it's synchronized to the video.
