It looks like y'all are grabbing a copy of the image and serving from your own servers. Too bad we can't store the image in the blockchain. What is the ID at end of URL? Cache-buster?
An image is too large for the blockchain. What decentralized storage options we have? IPFS? Sia? Oyster Pearl?
torrents with JoyStream monetization, for web there is webtorrent protocol implementation
I tried out joystream... imo people arent going to pay for stuff thats available on tpb, but where it could work is content creators (amateur porn, music creators, game makers, etc)
We need to let the protocol mature a bit. The niches you mentioned are huge anyway.
You can also use things like SVG w/ file compression & get some nice looking imgs in pretty small sizes. IPFS is good too, but the basic protocol would be nice to keep all on 1 chain.
IDK, can get imgs pretty small. I'm able to reduce mine @ 320x320 to 10,091 bytes w/o too much trouble. That's what, 40 TX? You only do it occasionally. Costs about $0.19 today.
What's wrong with tipping, keep tipping :)
You gotta say something interesting that I like more than a regular like. Then I tip, but I'm a fairly stingy person in general.
