Suggestion for monetization of Odysee.com #418

Open BillAnt1 opened 1 year ago

Hi, I was trying to find the suggestion menu but couldn't, so here's it is. I love Odysee.com for watching videos as a great alternative to YouTube. As with any venture, monetization is important to pay for server and bandwidth costs, so as a suggestion how about using the viewer's device (both desktop/laptop and mobile) for crypto mining and transaction validations while the video is being viewed as a form of payment without ads. It could be set to use tiny amount of CPU resources which would be virtually unnoticeable to the viewer. You guys have probably already thought about this, it's just my two cents for what it's worth. :)

I’m not sure if you know, but Odysee pulls the content from LBRY, a Free Open Source Software protocol, or marketplace for digital content. Here’s some sources if you wanna learn more. :) good luck 😉

I was in a similar situation where I was confused about how Odysee (and LBRY) worked, and I still have lots to learn.
