This guy streaming on PlayDJ (one of the sites using @LivepeerOrg ) is over 24 hours into a incredible marathon 40-hour DJ set for the Mind charity for mental health, and has raised over £11,000. He's going for £20K. Let's get him there!

A lot of apps in the web3 space claim that they'll create a full-featured creator platform - events, whitelabeled experience, live + on demand video, NFT drops, chat, and more. @beemxyz is ahead of the game in terms of shipping all this functionality. Check it out.

The @Xeenon_XYZ app is ahead of the game on experimenting with demand side business models in the Livepeer ecosystem. Earning inflation funding, running infra for its own app but handling other user's traffic when capacity is available. Encouraging user ownership through staking.

In the early days of @Livepeer , events would always come to us and ask for streaming help. But as an infra platform we'd always tell people that they should be using event specific apps and production setups built on Livepeer, rather than Livepeer itself. @streameth is that app.

If you had fun hobbyist mining ETH the past few years, and are looking for something to do with that GPU rig you just unplugged, check out the @Livepeer video mining community and throw it on the world's open video infrastructure network.
