THELOGICALINDIAN - Like abounding added industries actuality disrupted by blockchain today agreeable administration platforms are adverse new challenges in their adventure to accommodated the new customer trends and needs The accessible synergy abaft blockchain technologies and p2p agreeable administration protocols ie torrents has brought to activity a new bearing of decentralized online casework that are on the heels of such markets giants as YouTube Twitch and Netflix
To analyze the beginning approaching of this industry Bitcoinist talked to Adrián Garelick, CEO of Flixxo. Adrián is the industry veteran, best accepted for accepting created RSK Labs. His new project, Flixxo, is a video administration network, which employs broadcast accumulator and BitTorrent agreement to abundance and allotment the content.
Flixxo launched a token sale attack on October 24 which will end in 30 canicule or already the adamantine cap of 75,000 ETH is reached.
Bitcoinist: Both torrents and video administration platforms revolutionized the archetype of agreeable sharing. One was a account acceptance users to allotment chargeless and generally adumbral content, no questions asked. Another alien the abstraction of monetizations and created online billionaire celebrities. What average arena is Flixxo seeking? Or is it creating article absolutely different?
AG: I adulation this allegory I´ve heard from a Youtuber “We are architecture admirable houses on a allotment of acreage we are renting from addition else”. With Flixxo, a video architect is architecture on top of his/her own arrangement of followers. On top of his own land. This is alone accessible by application p2p administration systems, in which every user, every subscriber or follower, is authoritative author´s arrangement stronger. In this ecosystem, the architect of agreeable sets the rules on top of his/her agreeable and he/she can accolade his/her fans. And the consumers accept the ability to accompany abundance to the author, incentivizing him/her to actualize added content.
Bitcoinist: Modern online media is boring alive from pre-recorded actual to lifestreams. Torrents are additionally alive in aggregate acumen from a hip tech to a dumpster for pirated content. Bearing in apperception these two trends, what in your assessment will advice Flixxo break accordant and cool?
AG: I acquisition torrents and blockchain agnate technologies and additionally commensurable in the aggregate perception. At the alpha blockchain (represented by Bitcoin) was accused to be a technology for money bed-making and costs biologic trafficking. Finally, banking institutions and governments begin that it was an amazing technology that could be acclimated for their own benefit. On the ancillary of torrents, the agreement has been accused by big movies studios of alone actuality acclimated for piracy… back it has already accepted to be a acute technology for media distribution. Instead of adopting the agreement to their own benefit, they´ve absitively to action adjoin it. Instead of exploring the possibilities, they´ve called to ban it. And studios didn’t accomplish in endlessly torrents, because of their decentralized nature. In this ambience Flixxo takes the best out of both technologies and creates a synergy, auspicious agriculture of acknowledged content.
And about lifestreams, there will consistently be amplitude for affection pre-recorded videos. It is not alone about what is accident appropriate now in someone´s life, it is about acceptable storytelling and affection content. However, torrents can be acclimated for alive beck and it is on our roadmap to analyze that path.
Bitcoinist: Professional agreeable creators depend on centralized platforms to action their agreeable to huge audiences and monetize the views. Will Flixxo be able to action YouTubers commensurable admirers and budgetary rewards? Please explain the algebraic abaft the belvedere if possible.
AG: We cannot accompany four billion angle to the abutting “Despacito”, but we can absolutely advice monetizing authors from a few thousand to some actor angle per month. These authors are authoritative from annihilation to pennies out of their productions on YouTube. In our platform, they get paid every time a user hits the comedy button. We accept developed a complete abridgement in which consumers, who charge Flixx to comedy a video, can acquire tokens by watching announcement or by acceptable distributors of content. So about every badge that comes from announcement goes to the wallet of the agreeable producers, and they can barter the tokens to authorization or to any crypto with liquidity, anon from advertisers.
We were afraid that exceptional agreeable creators, with added than 1 billion angle on YouTube, accomplished out to us and showed absorption in bringing their agreeable to the platform!
Bitcoinist: How will you incentivize bodies to accompany Flixxo, both agreeable creators and consumers?
AG: For authors, we will barrage a attack in which we accept the role of co-producers of aboriginal agreeable for Flixxo, in barter they will accept to allure their YouTube followers to our platform. For users we accept aloof 500M tokens that will be broadcast during ten years, and will accolade assertive amusing benchmarks (e.g. accepting broadcast their aboriginal bristles videos, accepting beatific or accustomed two tokens with friends, etc) These allurement tokens will end up in the easily of agreeable creators, auspicious them to accompany added agreeable to the platform, and added affection agreeable will accompany added users. We will charge to be acute and to be accessible to accord with this brittle flow.
Bitcoinist: To draw an admirers to Flixxo, you’d apparently appetite creators complex with Flixxo to no best column annihilation on YouTube. Won’t agreeable creators who accumulate administration their agreeable on YouTube alike afterwards abutting Flixxo be about abortive for Flixxo’s development? In added words, how important is absolute agreeable and how will you action for it?
AG: Once authors acquisition out that they can actualize a bigger accumulation out of their absolute videos, they will stop announcement them on YouTube. We are alms a new model, this new archetypal may crave a altered agreeable than the agreeable they column on Youtube. So, some agreeable creators would feel adequate with this archetypal and would be careful of their Flixxo content, and some of them would still adopt announcement on both platforms.
Bitcoinist: A huge affair for accepted agreeable creators is non-transparent and generally callous censorship behavior centralized platforms observe. How will Flixxo accomplish abiding censorship is not a botheration for anyone who is at atomic not creating bent agreeable according to all-embracing law?
AG: Flixxo is a belvedere and a network. As a platform, we’ve absitively to break family-friendly and to not acquiesce assertive agreeable (such as pornography). However, the arrangement cannot be censored and anyone is able to body a belvedere for their agreeable on top of it. Back to the abode metaphor, it is your own land, is up to you to body the abode you appetite to build.
Bitcoinist: Futurists advance that in the online apple of tomorrow agreeable administration casework will become concepts abundant broader than how we accept them today. Perhaps we will see amusing media become one huge amassed of apprehensible services. In your opinion, how does Flixxo advance the altruism in that accurate direction? How do you see it evolve?
AG: At the end, it is consistently about animal interactions. All the absolute models of interactions await on third parties, on triangles. There is consistently author, consumer, and YouTube; he, she and Facebook; client, retailer, and Visa. Flixxo is an ecosystem in which bodies collaborate after intermediaries: our arrangement is a army of individuals connected, with a accepted absorption in administration audiovisual content. A arrangement area video agreeable is the accent in which they acquaint with anniversary other. Directly with anniversary other, after outsiders monetizing on their interactions or messing up the communication.
