LBRY
Really out of date
LBRY is a protocol (like HTTP, FTP) for transferring data using blockchain. A super useful advantage it has over a comparable P2P thing like torrents is that it allows for streaming video (and audio I assume?)
You can find my videos at

I will probably make another account for Game Making Tools too.
Setup
Arch Linux
The page has guides for setting up on OSX, Windows and Ubuntu, so here're some notes on getting it going on Arch.
Dependancies:
Ubuntu package | Arch equivilant |
---|---|
libgmp3-dev | libgmp |
build-essential | base-devel (?) |
python2.7 | python2 |
python2.7-dev | python2 |
python-pip | same |
git | same |
python-virtualenv | python-virtualenv |
libssl-dev | openssl |
libffi-dev | libffi |
The only other little tweak I had to do was make sure the virtual environment I setup was using Python 2 instead of 3 with
virtualenv -p python2 lbry-venv
The lbry-app is availible in the AUR: lbry-app-bin
Accounts
Deleting Items
You can't currently delete items via the GUI, but you can fairly easily do it via the command line.
First you need make sure the LBRY daemon is running. Easily done by just launchign the program.
Then you nned to get the ID of the item you want to remove
lbrynet-cli claim_list_mine
Then use claim_abandon
to remove the item and refund your LBC credits
lbrynet-cli claim_abandon claim_id=[id]
