I have not done it yet. But I am thinking this again will be crowded by those who do live porns in webcams. Well there will be a lot of viewers specially men.
What else could you do live that could be entertaining to others? None except porn.
Are there rules here to which videos will be streamed or there will be no filtering the contents? I doubt that because it is live.
Topic: Will Streamium be the killer Bitcoin App? (Read 2589 times)
I guess they have done a facebook and can prove the streams are untappable. If so, they can sit back and watch the money roll in as all sorts of unspeakable things get streamed.
It is too early to say that Streamium will be the killer bitcoin app in the future. I am not saying that we leave that possibility behind. Streamium has advantages that can possibly take it to the next level and be the best bitcoin app but it has also many shortcomings and weaknesses. For now only time can tell if Streamium will be the biggest Bitcoin App in the market but if it isnt it still not matters for the owner will still earn bigtime.
I don't know if it's going to be the killer app.
To be honest I kinda doubt it because:
Apart from that they clearly state that currently there are "known security issues".

If that turns off the kiddie fiddlers then I'm all for it.

WebRTC is still in beta testing? I thought that had the vuln (like some other libraries in recent years), not Streamium actual.
Yeah, it's an issue with WebRTC.

WebRTC implement STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for Nat), a protocol that allows to discover the public IP address.
IIRC, there isn't a solution for Chrome but you can disable some settings in FF to prevent it leaking your IP via STUN.

Read in Freenode #bitcoin that WebRTC exposes IP addresses even behind VPN, proxy...
Yes, but remember they are still in beta testing mode. You cannot expect this service to be 100% when it barely entered Beta phase.
A day ago, they had NO listings on their site or a index of streamed content, and a day later they had it up and running.
I am looking at the APP's potential for being a killer APP in future, not NOW.
If Periscope and Meerkat decide to go the same route, they might be a bit of competition, but for NOW they are unique. {Decentralized}

No just some porn freaks will try it. there are already killer apps for bitcoin, like mycelium, bread wallet, getgems etc.
This. Bringing in money on a streaming basis will be pretty much ONLY for porn. There would barely be any watchers on places like Twitch and YouTube if people had to pay. That's where advertisers come in. They are the ones paying for the content viewers consume. I don't see this cycle being broken by any of the non-porn industries.
powered by forum software, why?
we live in the future dude stop holding up the user, you can create a simple webapp where the user can come in "add my stream" and pick a "category" related to his live stream and then "hashtag" share to social media websites. create>view>advertise>profit
but no, you just installed a forum software lol, you went backwards dude.
I did not create it.

We show which streams are 'Live' or 'Offline'. Future website in the works also.

Another killer app made reality ,This is an awesome new tool. I didn't know the development was so far along.
this is going to be huge once people start using it and the word spreads.
Depends on how one looks at it. For me, it will be a killer app because being decentralized, there won't be any issue on what "can" appear and "cannot" appear, it's like no central authority to control and dictate the terms. On another note, I just hope it won't be manipulated or in a way, misused, to an extent that it will make bitcoin look bad.
I think that the points you listed are exactly why it will be not killer ap. It will be labeled by majority of people as 'that hipster porn stream' or place where 'lunatic basement dwellers speak their opinions".With porn I see that some people would use it but there is no way that anyone would pay to see anything politics or society related via Streamium. For now I doubt that Streamium will be huge, but I wish I am wrong.
I don't see the problem with charging for media. How do you think twitch is a massive success? There are millions being moved by the most famous twitchers with their subscriptions.
My spouse agreed to stream a LIVE feed of I made the mistake of saying, Who the hell is going to pay to watch that? I am now officially in the Dog Box for a month.
Next time, I will have to count my words or swallow it, if it pay off and pay the bills. ^Hmmmm^

No, paying for media you can already get for free will not be the killer app.
I guess the idea is to monetise unique happenings. Anyone trying to charge for watching kitten videos or movies isn't going to get too far.
I think it's more niche than it first appears but it might also open up new possibilities.
