Here is something I'm sharing on LBRY that I haven't been able to find on torrents or usenet server yet: lbry://redbullfourthphase - Travis Rice's new snowboarding flick. Did a screen capture during the live broadcast last night! If you are using windows, just search Fourth Phase, the URLs don't redirect (or copy/past into your browser window).
Can you explain a bit more, do I need an lbry app to get this from u?
Putting lbry://redbullfourthphase in browser just did a google search.
You need to have LBRY windows or Unix wallet in order to download this. In windows, once you have LBC running, you would go to
http://localhost:5279/?show=redbullfourthphase in your browser - URL support is coming in the future for Windows. Current price is 5LBC (~50 cents). If you download and then someone else later does too, you'll get a small chunk if you help host the file.
I've installed the wallet and started to download, but aside from 5LBC it is pulling some more LBC like 0.3LBC every minute or so, while the file is downloading. What is that for?
In total after download completed it took 12.7 LBC from my wallet.
that's something I actually asked recently on the slack. I noticed that it says 5LBC (est) next to the downloads, so I think depending on the file size, it may pull more - still waiting for a response. This is something that needs to be looked at by the dev team - I'm sure its fixable. Sorry, I didn't realize this sooner. Hopefully we get some more hits on this file, so you'll start to see some micropayments when others download.
Give my your LBC addresss (go to receiving tab in wallet, and I'll send the other 7LBC back to you).
Got a response: its key fee + 0.005LBC/megabyte. I've let them know they should update their estimates for the files based on this and to let the publisher know that's the case as well. News to me!
