I'm a staunch theta supporter and I think I misunderstood livepeer. Im now on team livepeer and team theta. I want to start a discussion on livepeer and theta here.

On the theta reddit when livepeer started making it's run this year i took a quick look at livepeer and basically thought it was a worse version of theta. Other people in the theta reddit put down livepeer quickly, presumably before putting in the research like I did. Now after finally putting in the research I no longer think theta and livepeer are competing. I think they can upgrade streaming in two different ways and hopefully come together and truly revolutionize the whole industry.

Here's the first source I'll offer livepeer cto explanation of livepeer

It certainly seems to me like they're revolutionizing transcoding, whereas theta is revolutionizing delivery through cdn/p2p integration. Furthermore it seems to me like both revolutions can happen, as in Theta and livepeer can both moon, and the internet video/streaming industry as a whole would be better off.

Thoughts? Can both revolutions happen? Do people in this community ever talk about how livepeer and theta could join hands?

I'm curious about the ussage of the network. Are there real users paying for the transcoding services? I stream in youtube and twitch and don't see myself paying for transcoding services. Also, I find the value is at the aggregator platform (Youtube or Twitch) because it has your viewers (customers). Could somebody help me understand the real value of Livepeer? If there are real broadcasters paying ETH to transcoders, could you please make an example of real case? Thanks!

Getting this running isn’t beyond most of our ability but the guide on livepeer.org is not very clear. Many of us would appreciate it and the community gains from adoption.

Thanks

I am not complaining but this is remarkable. Up more than 100% today. Anybody has an explanation?

What is preventing existing products like kick/twitch from onboarding. Assuming it is 98 percent cheaper than existing solutions (amazon ivs) Is it throughput/compute of the network as a whole? Marketing/bizdev?

Completely new streaming, and content delivery tech. This was just a question that kept bugging me as I went down my research rabbit hole.
