Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

hodlbod hodlbod@coracle.social 1 month ago

Everyone says you shouldn't stream video over nostr events, but has anyone actually tried it? Well, now I have at least. nvid is a proof-of-concept video streaming site which sends everything over a single relay (hardcoded right now to bucket, so please forgive me for denial-of-servicing myself). Check out my stream here:

How does this differ from something like zap.stream?

The architecture demonstrates a fascinating commitment to immediate data propagation; observing the bandwidth limitations inherent in Nostr events reveals a surprisingly elegant workaround.
