RE: Discover Vaporwave™
Yeah, I'm very interested. I used to run a vaporwave community of about 3000 people, it was kind of like a facebook clone, but the server costs / maintenance got too big for just me to handle. I would love to take my existing infrastructure and integrate it on the steem blockchain.
Don't think the Steem blockchain can accomodate media, it's too bloated so the content would merely be links, not content. But I'm sure there are complementary solutions. Recently I've heard about LBRY (another coin, for media content). @heymattsokol is using both Steem and LBRY.
As for Vaporwave and Steem vote, don't you think they're made for each other? xD
@kevinwon @granturismo89 I love vaporwave! Always excited to find other fans :-D
as far as hosting music content on steem, honestly there isn't a great option right now. I can theorycraft a way to make it work with LBRY and Steem together:
Once LBRY is in open beta, it would be possible to host all the content on LBRY as audio files and then integrate them into a streaming music app. This could tie into Kevin's idea of an upvote-for-access scheme.
In the front end it would be: You click the upvote button and the song starts playing.
In the back end it would be: The app waits for the upvote, then requests the content from LBRY and plays it for the user.
That would work and the user would not need any LBRY tokens or wallet.
I've been looking into LBRY but can't figure out the right windows syntax to get a wallet, so far no one in the slack has been able to help me out. Just gotta wait for the public launch I guess.
@kevinwong, i'd like to discuss this more with you, should I just hit you up on steemchat?
Yup, same handle :)
