UPDATE: you can now try the app yourself, it's not officially in open beta yet, because they are looking for feedback first and if it goes well, the open beta will be there soon.
Download the app from github(latest release):
https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/releases

What is LBRY
LBRY is basically a protocol. On it you can host any kind of digital files, whether is it videos, pictures, pdfs or any other files. Anyone can use the protocol and develop their own platform out of it. That is the original idea, get the community to participate and create decentralized version of Themeforest, Youtube, Netflix, Stock photos and so on. No third parties taking cut anymore. Hosted on decentralized network, owned by nobody and everybody. No censorship.
Their platform is already fully working and on it you can host pretty much all kind of videos - it's a digital marketplace. You can post your ebooks, PDFs, perhaps your nudes, or whatever is it. If the content is paid, the user will automatically get it once paid for and you will be paid without any intermediaries! All of this is already functional and on top of that you can stream videos instantly on the platform!

The company though is creating their first Desktop app themself meant for viewing videos - Lbry, which is available to close beta users already, so they already have a working prototype(contrary to 90% of other coins). You can watch videos, view pictures, sell your own content, whether is it Pictures, videos or whatever is it. You can set your content to be free or require a payment for it to be watched. Ofcourse the app is still in closed beta and there are bugs, but you can check out their Github, they are pushing updates constantly - it's a company that employs around 10 people i believe and has an office in Boston.
Investment firm Pillar raised 500k$ to fund the LBRY. http://pillar.vc/co-founders/
Personally i hold around 65k LBRY credits at the moment because i believe in the project. Or atleast in terms of the current marketcap being severely undervalued compared to other coins and the risk-reward ratio being worth it.
Best case scenario would be if it became a hype like Digibyte and Siacoin - BUT i don't know if that is possible in reality, so i would REALLY like your guys oppinion on the project and i'm giving you 20 LBC each day for it, because i want the feedback!
Anyways to sum it up, please do not invest into LBRY because i told you to do so, i'm just bringing you the project forward and you should make your own decision.
