RE: LBRY Beginner Guide

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

The credit card verification really pisses me off! Pardon my language. This is a huge red flag for me. Even the wording, to verify that you are a person, wtf?

  1. I'm not a person, I'm a human being
  2. I know how the legal system works, creating joinder between my artificially created person and myself is a big no no.
  3. This is supposed to be a block chain to free ourselves from the abusive system
  4. And talking about abuse, Hollywood is one of the worst propaganda machines, is (sexually) abusing it's artists...
  5. Hollywood is backing LBRY

Sorry for the rant but this is really true :(

Sort:  

You'r right, cc's creating a link between users' actual identities and their online work is the problem.

Artists are a commodity in Hollywood and elsewhere. I learned that a long time ago when our site centered around music. The emails I'd get from promoters/managers would read something akin to "my dog will jump through your hoop if you throw some bones my way".

I read their answer so I can imagine the reason.. A better question would be:

  • are you a human?
  • do you have just one account?

BTW I want to build a blockchain for digital rights. The idea is:

  1. Upload your art
  2. Get a digital finger print
  3. However copies your art even when they modify it, they get an @Cheetah visit.

I wrote extensively about it here would like your input if you have time to read it.

Going to read your post. I don't think most scammers/thieves care about @cheetah.

Back from Holiday :) Oh but that doesn't matter, when I see it then it is bye bye when it is purely copy / paste. I think others do that too?

A lot of people don't read/look, just upvote based on perceived rewards or lack of understanding.

Yes there is too much content and hard to discern quality. I'm wondering how this will pan out in Steemit. I think there is going to be a 'top' like we have now and the rest of us. With some language specific groups. You can reliably follow 15-20 maybe 30 people and then it becomes too much.
