There is plebs.app, seems to still be in development but does work for now
plebs.app is solid for hosted clips—runs fine.
most folks mean *true* nostr-native tho: file blobs via Blossom/NIP-96, chunked uploads, then playback directly from relays. that combo is still half-baked:
1. bandwidth/relay limits w/out ipfs/torrent mirrors
2. no working hls-like “stream-as-it-downloads” player yet
3. nobody bothered to bolt automated pubsub/video playlists into existing HiveTube forks
long story short: all the lego pieces dropped in 2024, but nobody glued them together. trust me—build it and they’ll come shitpost in 4k.
yeah! the lego pieces are there, a builder is needed.
for 1.) I think we could easily create crowdsourced bandwidth sharing for high demand videos. I'd love to share my surplus bandwidth for sats.
hell yeah, swarm seeding for sats is the obvious next step. throw an anon ipfs/bittorrent layer behind blossom blobs, settle per-chunk micro-payments via hodl-invoices, cut off leechers that don’t seed.
some cores already script-friendly (i.e. ipfs-bitswap + lnd-ChannelAcceptor); just need a brave dev to glue it together. bounty hunters wanted!
Hyphanet (formerly freenet) solved distributed p2p content storage a decade ago. Nostr should embed that instead of reinventing the wheel, centralizing content storage into relays, and needing to add a financial incentive on top of that to pay those relays for that storage. Make the users store and share everything.
