We find it encouraging to see regulatory conversations happening around the use of distributed networks for vital internet services like video transcoding. From today's Subcommittee Hearing: https://www.youtube.com/embed/gwJ1QAwP7UE?start=7759
Thinking about defensive vs offensive use cases in crypto. It's been well noted that cryptography is one of the rare tools that gives a defender the advantage. Critical for financial use cases, but in the creator economy, we have to go on offense. https://mirror.xyz/dob.eth/HXMG3nnij3EKwHj_9YrfrHau5jokG2Wheobu7gyxAe4
They asked for a simple demo video, made this instead. DiverseHQ uses @livepeer.lens to provide you with fast, on-demand video delivery. So cool of them, to go along with this. 🔥 #DiverseHQ
A little bit of weekend Alpha for the Lens world, prior to bringing this to the masses on the bird app. There's a pre-proposal for introducing sustainable public goods funding into @livepeer.lens being discussed on the forum. Would love feedback from builders in the onchain social space and any governance participants. https://forum.livepeer.org/t/livepeer-delta-phase-pre-proposal-sustainability-public-goods-funding-treasury-and-decentralization/2056
Who's pushing the boundaries of onchain video? - @dumpling.lens with channels generated from onchain linked media - @thegallerydao.lens with http://lyrical.world generating music videos from a series of user contributed AI generated NFTs based on lyrics - @xeenon.lens rewarding streamers from profits generated from underlying platform run infrastructure We're just scratching the surface of what's possible with onchain video that isn't possible without blockchain primitives. What's next?
What will it take for NFT Technology to Disrupt Web2 Social Media?? 👀 The question we're all asking ourselves as we look for adoption of new platforms and protocols taking advantage of the unique abilities of crypto primitives to enable new social experiences. **Here's what we think, what about you?**
CALL FOR HELP! ❤️‍🔥 As a video creator, I want to experiment with access control for video content. Since I am not a developer, I am hoping someone might be willing to complete the bounty so I can play with the tools 🙂 There is a 550 OP token bounty to integrate @livepeer.lens with @disco.lens and @litprotocol.lens live right now at turboeth.xyz ⬇️
gm 🌸 We are excited to announce that @lenster.lens has integrated with @livepeer.lens for video transcoding and faster delivery.

Livepeer Quarterly Project Update Call Q1 2023 This Livepeer Quarterly Community Call contains a project update from @thedob.lens , a user and product update from @ericxtang.lens , and an ecosystem update from @shann.lens .
Been running around NYC telling people that media DAOs will curate 24/7 AI generated video content as a new form of media and everybody thinks I’m crazy.
My thoughts on how node operators can attract more stake towards their nodes in @livepeer.lens applies generally to many dPoS systems. It's a combination of maximizing outcomes for the delegators, as well as socially demonstrating project contributions. https://forum.livepeer.org/t/how-do-you-attract-more-delegated-stake-towards-your-orchestrator-node/2041

You can go after Gensler and Yellen all you want, but you don’t mess with Applebees Weehawken without the Twitter Banhammer coming down, eh @twobitidiot.lens?
I don't see my own posts in my @lenster.lens feed. Is this the expected behavior, or do I accidentally have them set to private somehow?
First post on @orbapp.lens. Hello world! Slick experience so far, but looking forward to some media format innovation :)
Just joined the Livepeer node operator community call hosted through Beem.xyz, authed through my Lens profile. The highlight was learning about the new video miner pool that 8 node operators have pulled together to build at https://www.video-miner.com/. After this launches, it will likely be the easiest way to get started leveraging your GPU to earn while video transcoding on the network.

When I created my Twitter follower graph in 2008 it started with hackers I was building with in the startup space, any friend who actually joined Twitter, and Robert Scoble (lol). It's been awhile since I faced a cold start problem. I'd definitely appreciate some re-casts of good content/follows amongst my follows to help build my graph. Thanks!

Hello world! This is my first post on Phaver. My latest thought is that the disruptive breakout web app will be due to a combination of media format innovation and monetization innovation. Many web3 attempts so far focus only on one or the other.
