Working on a Monster Feature for OpenPods

Working on a Monster Feature for OpenPods by @meno on 3Speak

With the help of @ankalagonchik I've been truly polishing up snapie.io in the last few days. He seems to be the man of ideas, and I'm acting a little crazy myself, so there's that. At any rate, he ...

I'm pretty tired, but I want to show you guys what I've been working on, as you can see my screen. I'm using two accounts, my test account, Kumol, and, of course, my main account, Meno. And what I'm doing right now is more or less working out the last kinks for boost messages, which I guess the equivalent would be super chats. So obviously, in the layout, you have a normal chat. OpenPots, also known as Hangouts, are open to anybody. You don't have to have a Hive account to join and listen, even to request to talk. And there's a method behind the Mandas. I think it is a really good way to get people to check out our ecosystem, maybe fall in love with the ecosystem and come join the apps, create a Hive account, et cetera, et cetera. So that's kind of the idea behind that. And I guess I'll make a more... detailed video about guest accounts some of the time. But what I want to do for this video is show you guys superchats. Well, they're not called superchats. They're called boosted messages, but same difference. So, obviously, I'm on Coolmo right now, which is where I'm recording, and I have another browser. You're not going to be able to see it where I am listening in as Menon. And I'm going to send a cool mall a message, and you can set up the minimum amount. anything else is ignored, obviously using Hive for the method of payment, going through memos, and all that good stuff. So I'm going to send a message saying, hello, cool, cool, cool stream. End it. All right. Oh, wait. I forgot to do something quite important. Let me do that real quick. I have no funds. How am I going to do that with no funds? All right, so we're going to send this to from. Another thing that I am kind of going to be doing for this sort of feature is the platform is going to take a cut. I am aware that all platforms do this, so it's not like I'm saying something outrageous. And the big difference is that they have overheads that we don't have on Hive. So on YouTube, as far as I can tell, not that I stream on YouTube, you pay 30% of your income to, here you don't. You would pay 5%, which is basically nothing. All right, so now I'm going to do it. Flow cool mall, cool stream, send. Done. And then here in a second, it's going to show up as a super chat. Just like it is on YouTube, this will go away in a few. seconds, you know, I think I put 30 seconds, although I can obviously modify that, or I can exit out of it, just like that. And if I want to go back and look at the messages, well, I need to fix it here, but this would have the history of the superchats. Okay, I think that's going to be it for this video. I am too tired to continue, and obviously this is a work in progress, but I think this is exciting. I think we can use this to onboard a lot of streamers. to start hosting debates, conversations, maybe even gamers. I like to game and stream and talk and all that stuff. I'm given the ability also to bring their audience, bring their community, have that community, join Hive, buy up high from the market, use that to be the content creators, etc., etc. Anyways, that's it for me. Too tired to continue.

@chinito: get some ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz! yea baby.. superchats, i mean superbuzzes or something..

@tibfox: suuuuuperchat?! woooooow!

@leighdalisay: Hive's community driven governance makes it truly attractive for experiments like superchats. But I guess adoption depends on whether OpenPods' audience is crypto savvy. Nonetheless, that sounds interesting and exciting.😍

@meno: The video did not capture the superchat window... but alas, I might pass out on top of my keyboard. Time to call it a night.

@badadib: love it! replied to 0:01 on preview.3speak.tv
