@walker offered to help you get up and running with #nostr stream
yup as soon as it got political...
So what are you guys doing about revenue Streams now ?
Fuck their guidelines. I look forward to watching the show *without* anything you had to adhere to just for “community guidelines.”
Welcome to nostr. Our *guideline* is Pura Vida! 🤙
no appeal? that sucks sorry
It's great to see the community come together in these times .... and rather quick if you ask me ....
@NICO⚡️ show the masses you can get up and running quickly and don't need YT also it's a great time to restructure to become a more crazed Bitcoin team lol 😜 (making light of the situation)
Stick it to the Man !
I've held off YT for quite some time because of this madness they pull. I'm going to start streaming on zap.stream for this exact reason ...
I thought of zap.stream immediately while reading this…
Try it out if you haven’t yet…
Oh and FUCK YOUTUBE FOR SHUTTING YOU DOWN
@NICO⚡️ I got you man.
Let’s do a
@THE Bitcoin Podcast x
@Simply Bitcoin x
@BTC Sessions collab on Nostr
“Simply Titcoin Sessions”
Yes 🙌 I mean dude here's the deal ..... times are crazy ... we all know that . And as Bitcoiners we have 🎯 on our backs , No doubt...
now as soon as Kamala dumb shit Harris was mentioned poof ! taken down .... this is tyrannical Bullshit .
Insane. YT is a dumpster fire.
Zap.Stream, Rumble, Odysee, etc! Please don't let Simply Bitcoin die! Lfg!
Don't crumble to them..... and don't conform....
Potentially getting this channel back is a good thing but what about the bigger picture?
let them be your daddy and tell you when to sit , what to do ?
focus on independence and be in control of your channel not them ..... use the Bitcoin ideology you preach every day ...

Not surprised.. YouTube went full communist a long time ago
Let it be done.
It might take a while but it’s worth it
Why?
I'm leaning towards Rumble for hosting at this point. There's no fountain pen content there so I might as well be the first.
I agree instated that in a comment I posted ...
you are absolutely right he preaches single point of failure but stays on YouTube...
kinda contradictory...
I listen in on fountain. Keep the other stream going
Yeah, it's just tough to find places that are decentralized for video-centric content. For now I think a mix of zap.stream and places like Rumble etc. are a good way to start.
As the video hosting of decetralized solutions improves I'm sure adoption will improve.
There's always self-hosting as well.
I was in the middle of watching the live stream and it just stopped. Their channel had grown to be one of my favorite. Hopefully this will spring some innovation.
Maybe do some gematria on it. I'd be happy to help you out privately if desired, since I think I know this is 113 (deceit) that YouTube used.
Preach.
Why deplatfprmed?
What a joke of a platform.
What reason did they give? “community guideline violation”?
YouTube is fiat
The man is going after every aspect of self custody. Alarming.
Show is a vibe
The revolution will it be streamed on YouTube.
*not
I have a small YT channel and this is discouraging, I thought their platform was about sharing ideas even if not everyone agrees
Banned as in permanently? Did they say why?
Guy Swan said Keet can do it, and better.
Banning from yt is annoying, you can‘t even defend yourself.
YouTube’s just a digital gulag for free thinkers. Use Odysee or Rumble.
YT has become unusable anyway. Have to watch 5 min ads now, can't skip. Happy to follow you on other platforms. Know it sucks because of ad revenue though ...
Hope you have a good media lawyer.
Word. The sooner the better. Keep building heroes!
Self hosting is the way forward imo…
It’s a tough road for sure but we need to take the web back from mega corps.
I’ve been tagging you saying nostr only for a while now….
Exactly
💯
The same way we say bitcoin or slavery
We say nostr or slavery too
Bitcoin and nostr go hand in hand 💜
nostr:npub1gu47n7fxfm4py48jktmu6tdqcvva4e87fntynuzzf62zxnw2e7tsc6907gbuild on Rumble for now, we wlll follow you... your content rocks guys.... freedom tech decentralized optiona are coming with PEAR , NOSTR and so on .... F## Google, YT, FB ....
What was the reasoning? specifically Bitcoin content?? huge if so..
YouTube is just a game of hitting the skip button as fast as possible.
it will do it soon
Winning 🥇
What did he say?
I'm trying to login in Flare.pub with my Nostr account but it keeps loading and loading and it never end.
Any clue what it could be?
How's Opti taking it?
Oooh, you should really watch the show. Trying to make it very short. Media is telling things about she being BTC friendly in her campaign, but she ain't saying anything herself. Also, she is part of the executive branch atm, which is doing the opposite of being friendly to us.
Any project on nostr for video sharing?
no but there's odysee
WE ARE FIGHTING
Live your show. Let's us know where it moves to...
Ah okay, I heard him say the same thing on
@BTC Sessions channel this week.
you already can. It's called zapstream and you just have to use your influence on legacy social media to point your followers towards it.
Know anyone who has experience streaming on there? 😉 what do they have to say about it?
Let's ask
@Lou @S!ayer @ODELL @tigs @Jor @Notoshi⚡ @BTC Sessions @NoGood ✌️ @nickydev to name a few. Would love to see the content on nostr videos (but more live content would be cool too)
Streaming, videos and clips isn't gonna grew by itself on nostr. So creators should take the "being early" approach.
I forgot to add
@walker who's setting a great example by at least making his video content available (natively) on nostr by uploading his content to flare.
A step back for a step forward = progress.
It will still feel shit - until you’ve built up again.
Recognising all the hard work , finite time and energy you’ve invested so far.
It wld feel shit for this but wow.
They don’t deserve to have you.
My experience on zap stream has been incredible. I am slowly trying to move the YouTubers over and it's been a success so far.
It's perfect for new streamers who don't have their 1000 subs / 4000 watch hours. You can start earning a return on Day 1.
I've been streaming every day on zap stream and I can confidently say that I've made more on zap stream (in about 25% of the time) than I have on YouTube - with no censoring, no fees (other than streaming), and no KYC
The amount YouTube pays their creators is fucking criminal - and they take 25% off the top for taxes
The only downside to ZS is the streaming fees. But they're providing a great service and should be compensated for what they've built. I have zero issues paying a streaming fee.
And the best part is that you get bitcoin instead of fiat
It's a no-brainer for anyone creating content
Sorry to hear Nico. Huge bummer the commies at YouTube/Google hate freedom. Excited to see what your next move is - every challenge opens a new opportunity
Best Bitcoin only YouTube channel hands down. Simply Bitcoin and coffee to start my day has been the standard for a few years now. Wish there was a NOSTR version of YouTube. I’d cancel my YouTube subscriptions now and transfer my time and energy to support open source decentralized technology platforms.
Hmm. Try to upload both to Vimeo and YT
F those MFs
Ive been streaming on zs since day one. I’ve watched the site grow and develop to the nice looking layout (and still getting better) of what it looks today.
My take on it might be kind of controversial. But I don’t think the site will grow significantly (in terms of users) in the short term. No matter how much publicity it gets, YouTube is the first one that people will go to. Slowly but surely, YouTube will drive itself out of the road, and people will come in due time, either to zapstream or other alternatives.
That being said. The site has immense potential, if you’re consistent you can get tons of sats, sometimes might be less, sometimes might be more, so is the nature of tipping. You either need to have a massive amount of followers that tip you, or have a less followers but that are constantly tipping to turn a profit.
IMO it will be nice to implement a revenue stream per minute (like fountain has) per each minute 10 sats will be sent to the streamer (for the sake of example) and this ofc will have to be configured by the streamer for more “premium” or “personalized” content.
Overall, I think is a great alternative for a hobby or if you’re streaming In twitch or other sites, at least make zapstream one of those. You can even restream from zap.stream to the other platforms if you so choose.
Rooting for you guys
This is so messed up.
I know Rumble won't de-platform your demonetize you.
"they" just arrested Pavel Durov from Telegram for failing to submit to censorship demands...
It's getting wild out there.
Stay safe Nostriches.
Lightning.video?
No hyperbitcoinzation without Bitcoin content rails.
Growing more obvious with every passing day.
NICO⚡️
Simply Bitcoin was banned on YT today, I always knew the day would come and have been mentally preparing myself for years.
I can’t wait for the day that you can livestream to the masses via decentralized protocols rather than centralized platforms.
I’ve put in so many hours into not only making content but also making sure we follow the “community guidelines” on YouTube and we were still banned.
I’m bullish on the future of Nostr and I will continue to advocate for it until it reaches a critical mass where you don’t have to rely on centralized platforms in order to garner sufficient amount of views to run a media company.
Bitcoin or slavery.
Nostr or slavery.

Motherfucking fuck them till death.
I listen to your show every single fucking day.
First telegram, now this. What a day.
So fucking sorry for you guys. You know I’ll broadcast anything you do over here!
Glad you are here man, in the end we win this shit. ✊🏻🔥
Reason to all in for #Nostr
I mean it was all for naught at this point. You self censored your message for what? At the end of the day it comes down to, are you going to be willing to dilute your message for the approval of those that don't matter, or are you going to speak to the remnant and stay true not only to yourself, but to the end goal and the truth?
I was on ur show a couple of times so they also censored me. Fuck YT. I’ll be watching you guys on Rumble
this is what winning looks like
I use the get alby extension on Firefox. How do you login?
When zap.stream
Not sure how long I've been streaming to zap.stream for but it's been a fair while! Although I'm usually a once a week or once a fortnight type of streamer who doesn't doxx themselves on camera n such really yet. I'm not that shy of the camera, it's just that I'm usually smoking joints or something so it probably would look more professional if I didn't showcase that live 😂
Very cool site imo.. it could use alot of work still in some tiny regards but for live streaming games... works quite nice. I have a cloudflare account which I stream to through OBS, that then gives me a m3u/hls (? I forget which) stream link which I plug into zap.stream and presto... really. Cloudflare allows me to select multiple output RTMP servers too which makes streaming to Twitch and other platforms a sinch.
If I was a hardcore influencer I would probably still try to release all my content on as many platforms as possible... but I would aim to release everything on nostr first, then eventually, nostr only. Need to really aim to learn video editing I feel to really push my brand more although I never got into streaming to influence others or to become a partner with a big computer peripheral company or anything. Purely to stream the latest games in as highest fidelity as possible to an audience that can zap me 😃
A twitch donation is nice n all but I still value 21 sats over $5 in fiat that goes through the PayPal Mafia and other 3rd party methods.😂
Have been trying to get people over to Zap.Stream or even to introduce the idea and sadly too many just visit the site, see there's only a handful of streamers active then quit sadly. They don't see the long-term growth of their brand which could easily become the forefront of nostr live streaming.
Found the setup to be pretty easy (I use a service called Restream to send out to all the legacy platforms, so it gives an option to set a custom destination - which I just copied and pasted the info from zap.stream
After that, zero maintenance other than having some sats in my account!
Restream is great. I used their service when I was still streaming across legacy sites. I now use zapstream's free restreaming to push the stream to Trovo and to YT to store past streams for free.
100%
Thanks for sharing! As for Twitch, glad I've dropped the site. They basically take half the money people donate to creators while they're telling people what they can or cannot do with their screen real estate or with their content. Add the KYC and "tax interviews" to it and you start to realise that everyone is earning on your content BUT you and those who support your channel are basically supporting the IRS and Twitch's revenue.
I rather stream to less people for less sats on zapstream and keep 100% or better, fund the streams with the sats received.
You turned comment into a dope thread. Thank you. Cc
@zap.stream @KieranI would like the ability to customize a channel specifically for Nostr - including playlists of tutorials, live streams, etc
Does this currently exist or is anything being worked on like it?
I like that idea. Definitely a great thought Ben
Flare.pub is a very interesting project as well.
I tried with the npub.
I'll give it a try with an Alby extension. Here are my print screen for what I tried so far.
If the extension doesn't work, try entering your npub. I think they send you a message with a secret word to your nip04 messages.
You can get a zapstream vanity url like zap.stream/btcsessions as permanent url for streaming on ZS and your profile should already display past streams (if you use the best plan) and videos or shorts. However at this point you cannot customize any playlists. Good suggestion though.
Yeah, but I think he grabbed her supporters attention with the episode cover and title. And then took a little more time than usual, with a very specific approach.
It worked with an extension but I'm not sure if it was secure. 😅
I have used nos2x-fox.
The Npub doesn't work.
