What is LBRY??

LBRY - "LBRY is many components working together. For most users, it will just be a place where they can find great videos, music, ebooks, and more. A vast digital library available on all of your devices." -LBRY

A new protocol that allows artists to upload their content to a network of hosts (like BitTorrent) and set a price per stream or download (like iTunes) or give it away for free (like YouTube without ads)



What makes it good for the average Joe?

  • Artists will get paid in LBC (LBRY Credits currently trading on many platforms, I use Poloniex and its trading at 0.00028050BTC) 24 June 2017
  • Streamers will get 100% ad free content for a few cents that will go directly to the artist.
  • Shoppers will be paying less for content than on ITunes.

Thanks, first time hearing about this.

I hope you enjoyed the read and it was somewhat insightful :)

Guys I absolutely love this project. It is a milestone allowing blockchain tech to go mainstream. Keep up the great work 😎

Agreed, stoked about it!

Im long LBRY. Keep everyone posted with updates. Put out a solid, good looking roadmap. I see a lot of potential with this, but there will be competition. I believe time is of the essence.

Competition will always be good, the users will get a much better project if there is competition :) and like you said, Time is of the essence @threat08

Thanks for this great post about LBRY! I mine it and I own some.

Brilliant, it seems great, what do you use to mine it, whats your setup??
