What is LBRY :

A world wide Marketplace for everyone

LBRY is the first digital marketplace to be controlled by the market's participants rather than a corporation or other 3rd-party. It is the most open, fair, and efficient marketplace for digital goods ever created, with an incentive design encouraging it to become the most complete.

At the highest level, LBRY does something extraordinarily simple. LBRY creates an association between a unique name and a piece of digital content, such as a movie, book, or game. This is similar to the domain name system that you are most likely using to access this very post.





A Sample Use

Now look at a sample use of LBRY, Ernest releasing a film on LBRY that is later purchased and viewed by Hillary.

Ernest wants to release his comedy-horror film, Ernie Runs For President.

The content is encrypted and sliced into many pieces. These pieces are stored by hosts.

Ernest reserves lbry://ernieruns, a name pointing to his content.

When Ernest reserves the location, he also submits metadata, such as a description and thumbnail.

Hillary, a user, opens her browser, searches the LBRY network, and decides she wants to watch the film.

Hillary issues a payment to Ernest for the decryption key, allowing her to watch the film.

Hillary's LBRY client collects the pieces from the hosts and reassembles them, using the key to decrypt the pieces (if necessary). This is transparent to Hillary, the film streams within a few seconds after purchase

Bounties



.

Add support for the BitTorrent protocol to lbry.

The LBRY blockchain supports storing metadata about media content. A simplified, sample entry looks like:



title: "What is LBRY?",

language: "en",

description: "What is LBRY? An introduction with Alex Tabarrok",

author: "Samuel Bryan",

sources: {

lbry_sd_hash : "d5169241150022f996fa7cd6a9a1c421937276a3275eb912790bd07ba7aec1fac5fd45431d226b8fb402691e79aeb24b"

}

The sources field is designed to be extended and support resolution to multiple protocols. To complete this the LBRY daemon must be modified to:

Support the BitTorrent protocol via python-libtorrent or similar.

Read btih as a source key and use this key to access the data via BitTorrent when requested

Probably a lot more stuff!





Modified Block Explorer

LBRY currently maintains and runs a block explorer at explorer.lbry.io/.

This explorer is a fork of Iquidus Explorer and is on Github.



Iquidus explorer is great, but does not currently support LBRY specific operations.







The explorer should be modified to:







Display name claims in a transaction and link to claim info provided a txid

Display a support transaction and link to claim info provided a txid

Display claim information (name, claim txid, value, total amount, supports, and previous updates) provided a claim id

Display information for contesting name claims provided a lbry name

This will likely require polling for changes in the result of lbrycrd-cli getclaimsintrie after each block, and subsiquently populating values from lbrycrd-cli getclaimsforname and lbrycrd-cli getclaimsfortx.





PKG Installer for OS X



Currently, LBRY is packaged as a DMG for OS X installs.



To claim this bounty, the install process should be done via a .pkg file instead.



This process must be done in a way that is repeatable in our CircleCI continuous integration environment.







Internationalization of LBRY.IO



LBRY.IO already has a partial internationalization framework and some translations, but additional work is required before they can be enabled.

To complete this bounty, LBRY.IO must be modified to:



Allow modification of your selected language in the navigation

Storing selected language in the user session

Reverse look-up your IP and choose a default language if a user has not selected one

LBRY.IO on GitHub
