Topic: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see? - page 10. (Read 13810 times)

By the way, speaking of collectible items, I want to say that I also seriously thought about creating a coin dedicated to one forum event, but so far abandoned this idea (temporarily). I even talked in detail with BitcoinPenny on this topic, and we came to an agreement that for such a production it is necessary to enlist the support of a good sponsor, since changing stamp the coins every year is quite problematic and expensive, (although if you solve this problem, then minting coins is not so difficult). In addition, do not forget that Cyrus is already involved in many projects that take time and effort, therefore, if I were him, I would rather focus my time on videos (since I believe that creating content about crypto collecting would be more rewarding than producing coins.).

Well keep me posted, let me know how I can help out!

Jesus, with my attention span being on the extreme left of the bell curve I'm surprised I found your reply--but I'm happy I did and I thank you for recommending those subreddits (even though I hate reddit in a general way). 

And by the way, I never used to care so much about my privacy.  My concern only started well after my government and huge corporations began their un-lubed violation of everything that even resembled a privacy-shaped hole, which they still haven't slowed down on.  If you're not following me, I'm saying that to Google, Facebook, Twitter, and every branch of the US government, your privacy is nothing but an industrial-strength blow-up fuckdoll.

Where was I?  Ah, thanks to dkbit98 for the post about ways to watch YT vids in a very sideways and deliciously subversive way.  Individuals may not have the power to stick these whores with the big D, but even small pokes can satisfy if one's frustration level has gotten into the red zone.

Thanks for all the suggestions about Youtube alternatives! The show will probably be available in at least one more platform in the future.


Don't worry about the subs, best of health to the little one!
Also, indeed. Those look awesome! I don't know much about them, but those would probably be one of the best items to start filming with the new equipment! I think it'd be great to have some showcase videos of collectibles to use here and there when discussing them and for the Collectibles series down the road.

Hope they feel better bud! This is actually one of my all time favorite coins.

@Cyrus - I think I have a spare set I’d be willing to donate to the show if wanted (it’s unfunded, but I do have holograms for it to be funded as a DIY if wanted)

These ones look amazing man! WOW!!!

P.S. Delayed with the subs, sorry. Sick kid at home since Thursday.  

We already have discussion about some other video platforms like the decentralised one's which have no restrictions over publishing any sort of videos without filtering any bitcoin or crypto related comments like LBRY and there are many video published over them and if we speak about YouTube alternatives then there are many also but the biggest problem is audience and earning capacities are way much on YouTube than on any other platforms.

YouTube has created its monopoly in the video publishing platform centrally owned and controlled by google of which they can took undue advantage anytime like happened with the channel as they were filtering out the btc and forum related comments about which Cyrus already posted and there was little discussion about it.They can block your channel if you violate any of the rules preety fair but still sometimes they have blocked your videos and remove comments because that is what the power of centralisation give us.The biggest advantage is they have built their names and google is widely used browsing site and most of the Android and IOS phones came with installed YouTube apps within them and people are not much familiar about other sites.Here is chart showing the depth of views on YouTube vs its alternative sites:

YouTube views V/S competetor views


I don't think many people would be familiar about some other vidoe streaming apps like twitch or stemmit and are watching only on YouTube and this is why they make so much of revenue each year.The other sites are popular but with small majority only which is major drawback of shifting to some other platforms.For example this is how much the others make from their views count :


And on the other side see this :


There is direct 43% revenue surge within this year and it is substantially rising because many youtubers prefer to stay here despite being the fact that it is centralised owned and whenever you said video word the first thing that strike in mind is YouTube.

But still we can upload videos on different platforms and increase the user base and grab the opportunities from all the sites and audience and slowly the channel will see progress as it is seeing at the moment as subs have passed 100 number and will take another moment when you will start seeing good number of views and earning opportunity also.But always having PlanB will help out lot so consider to have other sites in mind also.

Way too cool to give a tangible NFT (!) but still. What's a little more than 0.05 BTC to 1250 BTC? Its uniqueness makes it very rare. Whoever gains it should be entitled with something special such as:

Technically we do have one coin that’s been made for bitcointalk. Theymos wanted to make a new one, as do I, but maybe this would be cool for a giveaway too. Thought I’d share.

I guess publishing the videos on twitch too would be a nice idea. It’s a nice platform with I guess a younger audience.
Guessing many Twitch Users could be shocked by the old looking forum software, maybe released before their own birth.

We are talking about alternative video platform so I don't know how much those platforms you mentioned are relevant in this case, and I never watched a single video on Steemit.
Usable alternatives would be decentralized Odysee (LBRY), Twitch, and one more interesting dedicated to Bitcoin that is using PeerTube and it's called BitcoinTV.
I already saw many known channels there as a backup for youtube, for example Bitcoin Magazine, The Bitcoin Standard Podcast, Techlore,
This would certainly give us more exposure to people who are specifically following Bitcoin videos..

Hive and Steemit maybe. I don't know how relevant those platforms are, but I know that both have crypto communities. And you can post your own videos there. If I remember correctly, one of them (maybe both) supports uploaded videos from some decentralized video platform besides YouTube.

I would like to see that as well. It's like the titles in the Press board where you can see when something was posted without having to open the thread.

Yup! There's a picture of it in the OP, though it might be edited at some point. I think it's older than the Youtube account!

Good points, done. Thanks!

That would be awesome! I don't usually reach out, but did consider using contest and prizes to surprise the viewers and of course gain traction faster.
Hopefully the show will get traction for a lot of great things!

Enjoyed the second episode.  Looking forward to future epps.  Keep in mind you've got us nerds in the collectibles section would could help out with prizes ( though I like the shirt/tube).  I know Theymos had asked us about putting together a btctalk coin at one point.  Maybe that idea can get some transaction w/the emergence of this show.  Anyways great job.

I've been recently looking into the Fediverse and PeerTube. It would be pretty interesting if either a voluntary (with permission from TheBitcoinTalkShow team) or the team itself, ran a PeerTube instance where they could simply host the videos themselves. I don't think they can be monetized though, I'm not sure. However I also don't know if it's planned to monetize this show in the future at all or not, so it could be something to think about.

It may also be an option to try forking the repo and adding Lightning micropayments similar to the Breez app, where we can 'stream sats' to podcasters while we listen, on a minute-by-minute basis. That would be pretty sick.

The cool idea is that not only are you hosting your videos yourself and they cannot be taken down, the users subscribing to you, commenting etc. can have their account on any other Fediverse server, like one they run themselves or one of their friends, etc. so it's all interoperable but 'federated' (hence the name). Instead of then having their Email address, profile picture and other personal data hosted on Google servers (like when creating a YouTube account), all of that data would only be present on their own instance. Like, I think even their comments under your videos would be stored on the personal server.

The title was changed on the 7th of January, which was the same day the new video link was posted on this thread. You probably did not notice the change the day it was made, reason why it is a bit confusing now.

That is a great suggestion and would likely clear up any misconception that users might have.

I'm getting confused with the [NEW EPISODE] in the title. I was excited to see the new episode but it was the one from 6 days ago which I already have watched. So, it was totally confusing one.
Is it possible that in the title here you add date of new episode?

Just wanted to post it earlier but was waiting for some good moment to happen and that was channel completing 100 subs on the YouTube and finally we are a family of 102 subscribers at this time and on this happy occasion will make a congratulatory banner for the same whenever i get time.I was waiting for this and was resisting myself from posting in this thread but being the most active member of this thread it was hard for me to control my emotions but still I managed it and this happened fast enough as we gained additional 20 new subscriber fast with the second episode.

Talking about Channel growth

The first video was out 2 weeks ago and it has 639 views over it with 61 likes and 12 comments which was preety decent for the first ever video considering few of the active members were watching the videos through the channel and Normal audience support was also present.

Now the second video is out 6 days (sorry for being late to the thread) and it has 323 views with 36 likes and 13 comments which shows clear sign of growth in views, likes and comments within a week only.

Taking just a reference for view count then it will grow like this in the future :


Talking about Video now

Now coming to the main point then second episode was amazing and indeed it was satisfying to watch and spending the quality time of 8:13 minutes.I was hoping to have an episode entirely dedicated to the main event of community awards back in 2020 and it tells me how fast the time flies as it has been already 2 years and we might have the next awards soon.Talking about the key elements in the video now :

1) The first type of events that happened after 11 years *(the correction as the host said it was 10 years and mentioned it in the side bar) in the history of bitcointalk.It was really good event from which i came to know about icopress(props to him for that idea).The official word we are using is not so official as the channel and community awards started at personal points so that was good point to mention.

2) Pronounciation of the different users name in the video through our insight voice which maybe different from our robot host and came to know that there was channel for phillipma1957 on YouTube related to some mining things and comapring him to jackma but he said it was phillip ma 1957.Two ways promotion going on through one video.But there are like so many usernames which i would be loving to see how actually they are called.

3) Mention of Bitcointalk Art contest which was great thing that happened at that time in which many members have participated including me and we saw many artistic works at that time and merits shower to the users through theymos and other members.Hope we are having another vidoe for the same topic in detail so some other videos are coming out soon.

4) Customised sponsor prizes to the winners of this community awards and applying different types of printing on them with acrylic based sprays to make the gift look more attractive was something that is appreciated because you went a little far in making the gift.The box style is also good that we have seen as a reference in the earlier part of the video also :


The printing was done through laser to engrave the text over the cylindrical box and the text was also perfectly synced with it and but there is little suggestion that if Satoshi's name would have been highlighted more as a tribute for creating bitcoin then it would be more good but still it's okay.

5) The Winners t-shirt looks great and they will surely like it as you have put in efforts to make them look attractive which can be seen in the video :



Attaching some NFT tags that link to their user profile would be great to see off and how many will accept it and others who auctioned it off due to some privacy reasons or any of their own.Overall it was great video and have made me realise that this is some educative and entertaining stuff for the members and the community as a whole they would learn about forum through these videos easily.Will try to promote it on my level.

Congratulations to Cyrus and all the team members for putting efforts on creating videos and reaching the first 100 Subscribers on YouTube.Next target is locked for you guys.

I’m just now sitting down to watch these episodes… I noticed my name at the 4:20 mark in the first episode. I must say that I feel honored and special. 

I had to pause the video when I saw that just to post here. 

I’ll reserve my thoughts and feedback for when the giddiness has worn off.

The Best of January thread is now open: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalkshow-best-of-january-suggestions-5380933
Please feel free to post whatever you'd like to see featured in the Best of January video. This being the first video of this series, it's not actually limited to this month. Forum content will be prioritized, but we might tackle general crypto content as well. We're in this together and just figuring things out
