Cool. I kinda like your solution 

That seems like something best suited for a centralized system...

However if i were to spitball a solution I'd say you'd have to do something like this...

1. Timestamp the upload (easy)
2. Run audio files through a system like sound hound.
3. If a match is found, remove the older version.

Now this would only work if the original artist uploaded first.

If i were to upload the rolling stones, who knows...

So this is an unfiltered brain dump.

I met this guy once many years ago who set up in business decades before I met him listening to random radio stations around the world. He is now a fairly rich man.

 

How did he make money from listening to the radio?

The clever little fucker would write to the radio station and demand royalty payments for songs that they had played. He would then send those royalty payments to the music company which owned the rights to the music - or whatever royalty collection system they had going.

If a radio station said they had a system for paying royalties, he would ask for proof and that would be that. But in a lot of cases, people would tell him to go away and that's when he knew he had caught a fish. He would then go after that radio station and ask for payment for lots of different songs going over an extended period of time.

That's it.

Stations would pay up after a long back-n-forth and he would then pass on money and keep some.

The radio stations didn't really need to pay him anything. But they figured it would probably escalate.

What started out as a fairly opportunist business model, turned out to be a clever business move. He now has an expensive ex-wife to maintain, several big houses, a regular hooker, some great cars and several staff. Oh, he also gets invited to celebrity drinks and parties because he is their hero for collecting money from random places all around the world.

So this brain dump: It would be interesting to find a way to facilitate take-down notices on the blockchain. One of the issues with the take down approach at the moment is that it costs rights holders quite a lot of money and it's a logistical nightmare for them.

What if you could create rewards for individuals to issue take-down notices on your behalf and there would be a record of that notice. Valid and accepted notices could then be paid by the rights holders with money being split amongst all those that had issued a valid notice which was accepted

So the brain dump has been turning into something more tangible and better.

You'll have to wait for something worth waiting for on where that brain fart is going.

Perhaps a draft summary which can be edited by a few people around here might be a good idea?

As there is another fork due soon can someone (hint hint dev) do a summary of where the project is and where it is going?

Agreed. But I think Polo is a bit more stringent with certain projects. Let's see what happens anyway.

Bittrex is based in the US.

So is BitTorrent.

Already discussed--its unlikely to be listed on polo for a variety of reasons. Mainly because polo is US-based.

Don't think Dev is that concerned with more exchange listings right now. Besides, I don't think Polo would take a second look as it is - wait for torrent functionality .

Did @dev apply for polo listing yet?

This sort of thing is a great opportunity for vTorrent

https://torrentfreak.com/torrent-legend-mininova-will-shut-down-for-good-170226/

This site has had 950m LEGAL downloads over the last few years.

Dev - you need to be showing some images or video of BitTorrent functionality, even if not yet working fully or finished, so that sites like TorrentFreak can write about vTorrent as a way for these users who now lost a great site to switch to something like vTorrent.

Yeap. Good buys.

Theres a 1 btc sell wall at 3.5k, and 2btc up to 3.6k.

VTR cheap az chips. Scoop it up boys

Somehow I missed the whole quote part, so I though you were the one posting that image... whoops. sorry.

It was when I wrote it, another 200K coins are up for sale now.

...Yeah... right.

The same applies for MU2--without Kim being able to present BitCache as a viable option. Assuming,of course he doesn't get extradited to the US. MU2 is also tied to being a "real stock" with regulations etc etc etc; it's a paper stock, not a cryptocurrency. It's very unclear how the investor will make a profit (if at all).

PureVidz doesn't really seem to have a proper plan going forward.

So the list of competitors to vTorrent is slim.

On the topic of chain-congestion: vTorrent and projects like Siacoin, STORJ etc are the perfect example of projects that legitimately have a reason to have their own blockchain. Not every node on the Bitcoin network (even without a blocksize limit) is necessarily interested in storing data pertaining to storage. It just doesn't make sense.

Also, whereas financial/value transactions may occur x times per hour, it is easy to see that storage transactions would happen on a much more frequent scale.

Don't play with my emotions!
