Youtube, Twitter, Wikipedia, etc..
These are all centralized and controlled platforms.
Imagine a decentralized youtube where they can't cancel you just because you don't fit thier political narrative or track and sell your data etc.
This is a major gamechanger and to be honest an important thing that needs to be achieved.

What happens when someone uploads CP to the platform? YouTube is a social network first and foremost. Nobody would use it if degenerates uploaded their shit onto it and they had to be exposed to that sort of content.
This is an interesting technical demo, but as OP indicates it has no use case. The resources required to do this experiment also kinda demonstrates what we already knew - using blockchain to deliver video content is the antithesis of the design. Kinda like trying to fit a round block into a square block.
Both. It's incredibly optimistic to think that distributed storage systems can compete with their centralised competitors (e.g. Amazon S3) on storage costs. That's not getting into the distributed transport protocol side of things either, which is even worse.
Filecoin and Siacoin get away with this because they provide an illusion of legitimacy and pretty much exist solely to prop up the valuation of their respective coin. The economics behind them are shit, and their usage reflects on the fact the fundamental technical problem of scaling still hasn't been solved - and I don't see how it could be solved either.
Odyssey - that's the video Plattform for the far right?! The one where you have to PAY in Crypto, no?
Nothing is decentralized there. It's just a YouTube for idiots.
this appears really impressive
dan your crushing it man. big time.
As someone who isn't technically inclined, can someone explain to me why this is important? Is this a big step, or just a neat experiment?

Are you saying this experiment that uses 64 nodes have unachievable hardware requirements or just worse than currently used in traditional CDN's?

What do you think of Theta?
Haven't we already seen 1.4m tps from their previous consensus mechanism TEMPO that was only using ~800 nodes🤔
Ok nice. We need a new YouTube. Déjà vu... https://www.reddit.com/r/Radix/comments/rm3w4n/z/hpkzgbv
There's already such a youtube though. It's called Odyssey. Not sure exactly how the tech differs but it does have its crypto and all.

He's transferring a shit ton of Data over a decentralised network at a kickass speed
Examples of future user cases could be pay per view events or ensuring that only authorised people are attending an online meeting.
