THETA NETWORK - “Methods and Systems for Peer Discovery in a Decentralized Data Streaming and Delivery Network" patent.
We’re pleased to announce that today Theta Labs was awarded a third U.S. Patent 10,979,467 for “Methods and Systems for Peer Discovery in a Decentralized Data Streaming and Delivery Network”. This groundbreaking innovation extends Theta’s previous U.S. patent 10,771,524 by introducing Viewer Nodes that leverage a superior Peer Discovery system to optimize decentralized video delivery. You can read the full patent here.
The patented Peer Discovery technology uses advanced algorithms to enhance the robustness and connectivity of the Theta peer-to-peer edge network, resulting in significantly improved video delivery quality. To achieve optimal node peering in a decentralized network, it takes a complex set of decision rules and machine learning to continually match peers that will best deliver video segments in real-time. Simply matching the two closest users is not enough — peers must be evaluated for their ISP/network operator, network condition, connectivity, available bandwidth, and more. Theta’s peer-to-peer logic looks at all of these factors and establishes a reputation score that determines the optimal peer each time they are available for relaying in as little as 2–5 second windows. For example, if you’re a Verizon user watching a livestream on a Theta-enabled network in San Francisco, you may not match with your next door neighbor with an unreliable AT&T connection — instead, the optimal peer could be a user 800 miles north in Seattle who also has a fast Verizon connection.

Bix Weir (I know, I know) says that THETA network is going to be used to back Tom Brady's (yes, THE Tom Brady) NFT company, Autograph.

If this does happen, then THETA token will probably shoot to Pluto, and beyond.

Get 1,000 Theta, and start staking for TFuel, it'll be your own UBI, and you won't be dependent upon the government for it. Then buy 1,000 more, and another 1,000, etc. My goal is 5,000.

Streaming in a decentralized network is complicated, because if there is a video on the network that you want to watch, someone's computer or computer(s) must deliver that data to you. That is a challenge. The solution is being able to stream but have the network deliver the data but chunks from different computers, to smooth it all out.

Basically, it solves the issue of how to create a youtube that is not controlled by anyone, and cannot be censored.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77062089


This may be another solution to a specific part of it, but the solution to this use case has existed for a long time already.

The problem with creating a YouTube that cannot be censored is not easily boiled down into the need to a gRPC, p2p or node agnostic or otherwise, which is essentially what Theta is.

The problem is legal possession of illegal material which is a major "I dont want that on my computer, and for good reason" issue. How does some average Joe know what some nefarious ahole uploads to the network and it then ends up on his distributed storage node? (not what Theta deals with, but the primary issue)

THAT is the main reason we do not have a "uncensorable" anything, you gotta be a bit nuts to agree to be that canary. A distributed, altruistic mechanism for enforcement and compliance (safeharbor, coppa, and many other laws) is what is really needed.
