 Hey, it's Anfa. Today I want to do something new. Today it's news, but not just my private news or not even Linux audio music news. It's the news of the internet itself. Something's coming that might change the way we use the web. It might become a new fundamental functionality of the internet as we know it like email and hypertext are. It's called LBRY or library. It's a decentralized open source protocol for distributing and discovering media over simplifying. It's a YouTube without essential server and essential authority. It's the bit torrent of YouTube peer to peer video streaming and general media publishing. You can publish a movie, a music album, a video game, or you can live stream. You can discover and find new stuff and you can buy stuff. Currently using LBRY credits, LBC, which is a new cryptocurrency, similar to Bitcoin, but they're probably going to support US dollars in the future also. About YouTube, their go to is to allow people to publish to LBRY network and YouTube simultaneously. LBRY isn't just a website. It's not a service like YouTube or Facebook are. It's a protocol. It's like HTTP. It's like FTP. If you want to get more information, please watch one of the following interviews with the head of the company. Who reveals a lot of the details. In the next month, if I'm correct, there should be like an open beta starting or maybe it's going public. I don't know. Right now you can go to LBRY website and go on the get tab and you can input your email address or go to the learn tab and there you can watch a video, what it's going all about. Go to the quick start and then you can try it out. Initially, it looks like it's all about you pasting comments into the comment line, but actually there is a graphical user interface at the bottom of this page that you can download and try it out the human friendly way because it looks like this because they are aiming at developers who, you know, this is a protocol. It needs clients. It needs programs for Android and all the other platforms that will allow people to use this network like BitTorrent clients. There are a lot of BitTorrent clients and it's all the same network, same like web browser. It's something of a higher level that might really change the way we use internet and it's all about how much people use it because right now as of March 2017, there's around 100 nodes operating in the system and there is some content available. But as more people are going to use it, more stuff will be available because everything you publish on the LBRY network gets chunked into approximately one megabyte sized files encrypted. That's because you can buy stuff so, you know, you're technically buying a key to the crypt stuff that you can't read without buying it and that's why the decryption goes and it gets distributed over the whole network and everybody gets a little chunk of it and then they serve it. You request the video, you get a ton of chunks from all the people and you compose your own file, you get the key, you decrypt this, you play it neat. We will see what will emerge from that. It might be very interesting. It might change the way we use internets. It might get bigger than YouTube and it might like empower the creators to directly sell their content. That's interesting. That's really interesting. I highly recommend you to watch the interviews with the CEO of the company and then get on the page and try it out. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. Bye!
