No, I'd just keep downloading them for free.... Why would I willingly pay for something I can get for free without spending the world's hardest money humans have ever known?

If you don't see the value in paying for things that provide you with value, then why should I value your thoughts on the matter?

What value am I gaining by paying for movies to waste my limited time on that I can get for free though? None. I'm just spending sats hidden under the guise of "value" 🤷

You can eat for free in prison. Why don't you go live there instead of paying for food?

Been there. Done that. It's also not free... You leave jail and prison with a bill to pay.

I would love to know how to self host my videos. I have no idea how though. Tried with start 9 nostr relay but got nowhere quickly.

Good. Go back. I'm tired of living in a society of freeloaders.

It's not I want free shit.... There is free shit everywhere for who ever wants it. You can go fuck yourself for wanting people under government control via prisons just because you don't agree with their opinion though. Great show of how stupid people really are in general imo. It's all money is broken until the government doesn't control a person's ability to save into anything. Id be fine working. But currently government uses laws, regulations, and policies to determine if citizens can even afford to save into anything. 70 fucking percent of Americans are living check to check right now and can't afford to even save fiat, let alone into bitcoin... It must just be our fault though right, and we're not trying hard enough to live a basic life? Should we work harder master? 🤣🤣🤣

The concept of prison wasn't created by government, but rather a free society self governing. I don't expect anyone to put in proof of work and expect others to take it for free. Passions maybe but proof of work requires incentive to work.

The concept of prison your trying to spin your comment off to.... isn't the same fucking prisons we have today. Go fuck yourself. People are tired of working just to fucking work to prove they can work and getting fucking nowhere. People living in motor vehicles is up how much again? Please remind me.... Upper-class of homeless.

My first thought was that it would stop me sitting through crappy movies just because I’d started watching.

Oh wow. It would be so cool if you record a video of the vibe-coding process. Is that something we can list here? https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-vibe-coding

Probably not making a video, but here's the prompt I fed into Cursor to start the project. I had perplexity.ai help write it: We're building a Lightning-powered video player with Nostr integration. Create a Next.js/React app with these components: Video File Handling Use FFmpeg.js/WebAssembly for in-browser video metadata modification Implement custom metadata tagging in MP4 containers using 'uuid' boxes for: Lightning addresses (BOLT11 invoices) Nostr npub signatures (NIP-07) Payment rate per minute (JSON structure) Add signature verification using nostr-tools' nip07.verifyEvent() Player Core Use Video.js with HLS.js for adaptive streaming Create payment timer that triggers every minute using requestAnimationFrame Implement payment queue with exponential backoff retries Lightning/Nostr Integration Add NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) via nostr-wallet-connect-js Include these Lightning libraries: lightning-bolt11 for invoice parsing alby-js-sdk for NWC implementation lightning-devkit for fallback LSP integration Create payment metadata builder including: Video SHA-256 hash Current timestamp Content creator's npub Security Features Implement WebCrypto API for client-side hash verification Add budget controls with permissioned NWC scopes Create payment audit trail using IndexedDB Sample File Structure: bash /src /components PlayerCore.tsx PaymentProcessor.ts NostrVerifier.ts /lib video-metadata.ts lightning-helpers.ts crypto-utils.ts /pages index.tsx api/payment-webhook.ts Key Dependencies: json { "dependencies": { "video.js": "^8.3", "hls.js": "^1.4", "ffmpeg.js": "^4.2.9003", "nostr-tools": "^2.3.4", "alby-js-sdk": "^1.0.0", "lightning-bolt11": "^2.3.1", "indexeddb": "^5.0.1", "webcrypto-liner": "^1.2.0" } } Required Cursor Rules: Prioritize WebLN/NWC compatibility checks Enforce content verification before payment processing Maintain offline-first payment queue architecture Include FFmpeg.js worker thread optimization First Implementation Steps: Create video metadata prototype using ffmpeg.js's writeMetadata Set up NWC connection handler with budget controls Build payment timer that survives tab hibernation Implement metadata extraction on video load Add signature verification overlay UI Critical Questions to Resolve: How to handle video seeks/rewinds in payment calculation? What NWC permissions scope is needed? How to persist partially watched payment state? What's the fallback for non-Nostr users? Example Payment Metadata Structure: typescript interface VideoPaymentTags { version: '0.1'; creator: string; // npub rate: number; // sats per minute boostAddresses: { primary: string; secondary?: string; }; signature: string; // NIP-07 signed video hash createdAt: number; // UNIX timestamp } This prompt gives Cursor a clear roadmap while maintaining flexibility for AI-generated implementation details. The architecture balances web video standards with modern Bitcoin/Nostr integrations while emphasizing verification and user control. The nostr stuff isn't added yet, but that's where it's headed.

I just vibe coded Netflix 2.0 and nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309ahx7um5wghx77r5wghxgetk9uq3jamnwvaz7tmswfjk66t4d5h8qunfd4skctnwv46z7kjtacz is already on pod 3.0?

this seems baller and the MIAA is going to hate it... I love it!

Spin up a blossom server. https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server

Thanks. I'm going to bookmark this and look into it on a rainy day and hopefully figure it out 😁

This is brilliant. I'm guessing you still need a fairly good idea of the process of building an app to be able to provide prompts that will create what you're looking for though?

I just mentioned yesterday that I’ll be releasing my very first short film here on Nostr, then I see this. I love you guys who keep building. I love this protocol! 💜

Not beyond knowing what I want it to do. I told perplexity what app I wanted and told it to craft a prompt for cursor and include references to whatever libraries it may need. I'm not versed in making apps, but I am proficient enough at testing and reporting bugs to the AI to get it working.

They should embrace it. Movies are already being pirated. Now they can get a few sats from that.

Ping me when you do. I can test streaming you Bitcoin while I watch it.

I'll definitely let you know, would be great.

This is super interesting, thank you for sharing

Supercool!

You come up with some of the most interesting ideas ever. 🤙
