What is The POP Network?

The POP Network is a blockchain-based video platform that rewards content creators and provides ad-free experiences for viewers. With decentralized video storage and peer-to-peer streaming, The POP Network aims to eliminate reliance on 3rd party distributors and hosting platforms. The POP Network removes the need for advertisers from digital entertainment by enabling transactions in micropayments directly between creators and viewers and empowers both to earn rewards for their contributions. You can even earn POP as a BitTorrent streaming node!

PopChest.com is the first site built atop The POP Network. Based in Los Angeles, the team behind this project has industry veterans from NBCUniversal, Sony, Warner Brothers and more. Investors include backers of Coinbase, Tezos, Robinhood among many others. The POP Network is currently deployed on Ethereum testnet and is slated to hit mainnet before the end of the year.


VIDEO: What is The POP Network?

How does it work?

The POP Network depends on two core decentralization functions: Payments and Video. Since there is no advertising on the site, video monetization happens through microtransactions. Our platform uses Ethereum State Channels for highly efficient, scalable payments. Value is locked up in a smart contract and transmitted every time you watch a video WITHOUT NEEDING TO WRITE BACK TO THE BLOCKCHAIN. This off-chain system is known as a "Layer 2" solution.

The videos themselves live on the BitTorrent network and are accessed directly through the video player using WebTorrent. As the network evolves, open-source nodes may be able to serve video on behalf of the network and earn POP tokens as a reward.

Is POP a "utility token"?

Legally, there is no such thing as a "utility token" although the term is commonly used. Blockchain is so new that the law hasn't caught up with the real world yet. But, there is growing belief that a token purchased for access to a service has a legitimate function. This is our aim for POP.

Hey everybody. Valerian from PopChest here. Soon, we will be relaunching our community-supported video platform with bitcoin micropayments at its core.
 
Leading up to that, we are conducting a series of feature tests and asking for your feedback. Tell us what works and what sucks so we can build the best possible mainstream bitcoin application.
 
The first test is the new Coinbase Instant Buy Widget. Click the "Buy Instantly" button on our homepage to buy up to $5 delivered instantly to any bitcoin wallet. We hope this will be an easier way to onboard people to the bitcoin ecosystem and primed to use micropayments.
 
Test it and let us know what you think! While you're at it, join our beta program to be the first to try all the new features. Thank you. #ToTheMoon -v.

This is the first step towards an open, global, bitcoin-powered television network. Think YouTube without ads and Netflix without subscriptions.

It's a very nice idear, but at this moment, it seems the site is filled with videos i can find for free in a legal way... I guess it would be more interesting if you started featuring unique, high quality or copyrighted videos (offcourse, licenced to you).
I do love the layout and the simplicity of this site, and i encourage any new bitcoin startup, so i wish you good luck in your project!

Thanks for the the encouragement!
 
re: content quality… Remember when Netflix first launched streaming? I think most would agree the content at the time was very limited and narrow. Now, look what they've become. With new ideas like PopChest (and Netflix before it), it's important to show people how it works. Once they see for themselves and begin to understand the possibilities, then more original content will come.
 
It's a small step, but an important one Smiley

Thanks for the response. I should have been more clear and say "only 24 *will be* printed". If there are no takers then the offer may need to be adjusted. Or, you can make an offer.

Recent updates to the Bitcoin protocol will soon allow us to advance pioneering work done in 2014 on bitcoin micropayment channels by PopChest co-founder James Poole. In short, our original vision of building a commercial-free, community-focused, open platform for video is taking shape.

Looks like a great concept but many youtube viewers are really young, most of them don't even know what bitcoin is.
Let alone know how it will work out, I doubt this type of thing will take off.

Let's talk in a year Wink

Good idea, but annoying that you have to use Coinbase specifically

Quote
1 Upload your video

Connect your free Coinbase bitcoin wallet to PopChest. Then, upload your video. With micropayments, you can charge as little as $0.10 per view.

I want to be paid directly to my personal wallet, not some data collecting infrastructure bullshit. I hope we can have LN soon so we can be paid directly to our wallets in a decentralized way.

Originally, we built our platform on Mycelium and Hive…both open source wallets. That caused a lot of problems. For example, Hive stopped being developed. And, Mycelium Android works totally differently than Mycelium iOS (different dev teams). Every wallet out there works in their own unique way internally. It's impossible to support them all, so we went with the simple solution so we can focus on the actual media distribution platform rather than spending all our time troubleshooting bitcoin wallets.

Thanks for your support! Hopefully this will illuminate one of the great use cases for bitcoin…micropayments  Cool

This was pretty interesting Smiley All those arcades were amazing!. But I won't say anything else to spoil Smiley That way of distributing content through microtransactions is pretty neat. The trailer before makes you really curious... And then you just point your phone to the QR Wink

Have you been having many users?

Glad you like it :-) Viewership is definitely growing. I can certainly say that the economics of PopChest greatly outweigh the current ad-supported model. 1 bitcoin paying viewer ($0.25) = 250 ad-supported viewers ($2 CPM). As bitcoin becomes more popular, the numbers skew heavily in the content creator's favor.

Never find this kind of thing before, increasingly many new breakthroughs on Bitcoin Smiley

Thanks! This is just the beginning. As our user base expands, we will continue experimenting with the blockchain and all of its applications. Enjoy the show Cheesy

OMG (spoiler:)the tron guySmiley That was fun!

Is suchwow.tv the website of the creators? I'd love to see more episodes.

Awesome! Glad you like it. Show your love in bitcoin and that will fund new episodes. Welcome to the future! -v.
