Hello LBRYans and Odyseers, happy Friday! Wanted to provide 2 quick updates in case you haven't heard or seen yet: 1) The Odysee iOS app is now live in the Apple store! Check it out, tell your friends, and let us know what you think! More features coming like background playback, playback speed, and iPad support. 2) Check out https://odysee.com/feb2021roundup for a roundup of features including wallet balance improvements + mass tip unlocking, moderation tools (comment deletion live, better blocking coming), and search improvements. Thank you all again for the continued support! If there are any creators not on Odysee that you've love to watch, now is a better time than ever to give them a poke.

I'm very interested in this project, but no matter how much I'm reading about I still didn't properly get where all the supposedly thousands of terabytes of the videos are stored and how. I guess they should be stored in a decentralized way in thousands of users PCs, but didn't get any clear infos on that. Are they stored as full files or in chunks? With which redundancy for the cases nodes go offline? WHich incentives would people get to host some of the library's files (if that is the way of storing). And I really don't understand why you don't have a clear and easy to find one pager in your website explaining these simple facts in a way that people have actually a chance to understand what LBRY actually is. I've been occasionally coming back to ypur website for WEEKS now in the hope to uderstand something, but I didn't yet. Which obviouslly prevents me to start using your platform. I guess I'm not the only one.
They are stored in 2MB and hosted by anyone that publishes or downloads the files, and also by LBRY inc. In the long term, we hope to incentivize this and have more dedicated hosting services providing this server. We mention this on lbry.com/faq/host-content. Most people who use LBRY don't need or want to know these details but the ones that do usually dig into the FAQs or other sites like lbry.tech that detail how it all works. Thanks for reaching out!
