web3.storage VS go-livepeer

https://web3.storage/ https://estuary.tech/

I'm building Flash — a service to deploy websites and apps on the new decentralized stack. It relies on public infrastructure (such as Estuary, web3.storage and others) instead of providing its own, making the bandwidth and storage very cheap and accessible.

https://web3.storage/ does everything you need

Web3.Storage and other similar projects run a network of IPFS nodes that allow users to store whatever content they like, as a kind of competitor to Dropbox or Google Drive: this could be their personal content, or again, any application content, because some apps integrate directly with this service via their API

You can file this as an issue in the repo here and perhaps mention to them that, as a user, it feels phishy to you.

Typically app developers would be the ones to build on Filecoin and you would choose an app like web3.storage to store your data. As a consumer you dont have to directly hold FIL but you benefit from the Filecoin ecosystem.

Filecoin may not have a front-end but our team has worked on https://estuary.tech and it has been easy for our users that have an invite to onboard to the Filecoin Network, another great option is https://web3.storage

clone repos to your computer, dont just fork them

the fork disappears when the parent repository is taken down, clones stay on your machine

upload to IPFS. you can pin on IPFS for free with filecoin. Use filecoin nodes to pin on ipfs at https://web3.storage

As for storing data on Filecoin directly, that would require making a deal with a Filecoin Storage Provider; doing so is currently a complex task but reading the documentation should get you somewhere. You will need a small amount of the FIL token to make the deal with an SP, who will then store your data. Keep in mind that something like web3.storage or Estuary.tech may be better for your needs if you need easy access to the files later; Filecoin can (currently) be thought of as closer to archival storage, but efforts are being made to make it more generally useful too.

Connected 2023 has an impressive lineup of co-sponsors, including Notifi, Lit, Livepeer, and XMTP, providing participating hackers with a rich and diverse technology landscape to draw from as they strive to incorporate cutting-edge Web3-native features into their decentralized social applications.

Interesting on the fever dreams. My post crypto is video transcoding. https://livepeer.org/

🌟Website: https://livepeer.org

There is no easy way to do that currently with livepeer.org (the actual decentralized part)

LivePeer (well, that wasn't hard to find another one): https://livepeer.org/

Before joining Functionland I wanted to learn more about web3. So I joined an eth global hackathon. There I worked on a token gated livepeer video streaming site that creators could use to host an online ticketed concert.

When minting video NFTs, a major factor to consider is the file size. Livepeer Video Services solves this issue when using the Video NFT SDK. This SDK will transcode the video to the proper file size utilizing the Livepeer Network as well as leveraging the layer 2 solutions of Polygon to reduce the cost of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. Using the SDK makes it easy and more affordable to create video NFTs.
