lol, my exact thought when reading that comment. I think its almost verbatim lifted from the 'Beautiful Mind'.

I don´t get this answer. Linden needs not underwrite any micropayment inside it´s silo?

The only utility in LN is hopefully retaining decentralized properties of bitcoin. PokerStars, Linden & WoW have supported micropayments for a long time?

Im not sure why any of these services could not grow 10x and still function internally? They are already servicing tens of millions.

I think you're missing the point. You can't scale Linden's micropayment worldwide without there being counterparty risk. It's much more useful to build these on top of decentralized systems with a strong bedrock without fearing the company being targeted by hackers or governments. Can you use Linden in China?

Congratulations, the Norwegian startup ecosystem needs more stories like this.

is this actually true? I use libtorrent, would be interested to learn how exactly it is easier? Is it mainly due to avoiding C++? Is IPFS implementation stable enough?

Write how it would be used in a cli environment, and we'll see.

For IPFS:

ipfs add your_file

On the other computer

ipfs get $HASH_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND

Done

Really well executed product in the 'why doesn't this exist already' category!

Awesome!!

I presume that over time, the price of any piece of content will be competed down to the cost of bandwidth, which I guess is quite a bit cheaper than 10x/GB? So yes, initially, higher prices can be charged, but then as more seeders stick around, there will be price competition.

Great, just sign up, and shoot me an email, I need to get people onboard.
