LBRY Credits (LBC) are distributed via the mining process on the blockchain approximately every 150 seconds (2.5 minutes), also known as the block interval. There is a total supply of 1 Billion credits, of which LBRY [controls 400M](https://lbry.io/faq/credit-policy) for funding, rewarding users and partnerships. The other 600M will be mined over a period of around 20 years from inception (June 2016).

LBRY Credits (LBC) are distributed via the mining process on the blockchain approximately every 150 seconds (2.5 minutes), also known as the block interval. There is a total supply of 1 Billion credits, of which LBRY [controls 400M](/faq/credit-policy) for funding, rewarding users and partnerships. The other 600M will be mined over a period of around 20 years from inception (June 2016).
|
||||
|
||||
The [mining schedule](https://lbry.io/faq/block-rewards) details how these credits will be distributed. We are currently in the logarithmically decreasing phase of the mining process where, at the time of this writing (May 20, 2018), the current block reward is 359 LBC. You can find the current block reward by visiting the [explorer](https://explorer.lbry.io) page and clicking the latest block to find the first output.

The goal of this bounty is to analyze and visualize the impact of mining inflation on coin supply. The end result would be the calculation code and web embeddable supply chart. Click [here](https://www.bitcoinmining.com/how-are-new-bitcoins-created) to find an example. At minimum, the x-axis should display dates and the y-axis is the cumulative LBC available.

Hints:
|
||||
- [Sample PHP Program](https://drive.google.com/open?id=19LXPIBhZnd-SEnQlrke2tb-ZwESrbK2D) to calculate estimated block reward at any given time
|

### Because LBRY is decentralized, doesn't this mean the content can't be removed?
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to make a distinction between the LBRY protocol and any applications running on top when referring to censorship and the ability to block access to certain content. The LBRY protocol is fully decentralized and censorship-resistant - it provides permissionless access to [claiming of URLs](https://lbry.io/faq/naming) and indexing metadata on the blockchain, and facilitates data transfers over a peer to peer (P2P) network which consists of our own content severs and anyone running the LBRY protocol. This means infringing content may be stored on our servers, by the uploader and by anyone else who may have downloaded it.

|

On the other hand, LBRY also makes an App and other services like [spee.ch](https://spee.ch) to demonstrate the protocol's capabilities. Within our app, we will engage in non-arbitrary censorship, meaning only horrific or infringing content will be blocked and removed from our content servers. As a U.S. company, LBRY Inc. and management of our app, and other services in our control, will follow all U.S. laws, including the CDA and DMCA. If someone made an app or website using the LBRY protocol in some other country, it would have to follow that country's laws, which aren't necessarily the same as ours. Either app would read the same blockchain though.

After uninstalling LBRY, the working directories are left intact so that the application can be easily reinstalled without losing your application data and wallet file. Application data is in the lbrynet folder (LBRY folder for Mac), and it includes various database and configuration files. Wallet and blockchain data is in the lbryum folder. Typically, you will want to save your wallet and a handful of configuration/database files when performing a clean installation in order to keep your important data intact.

Publishing in LBRY is the process of sharing your content on the network. You have the ability to set the price per view (can be free too) which is paid directly to you. This process involves making a "claim" in the LBRY blockchain which will be used to retrieve the content via a URL. Content can either be published anonymously or to a particular channel/identity which groups content in a single location. Both channels and claims require a deposit (bid) of LBRY Credits (LBC) in order to reserve their location on the LBRY network. This deposit will be deducted from your balance as long as the claim is active.

### I shared my URL, but others can't download it. What's going on?

Since LBRY is a Peer-to-Peer network, it requires that your device is accessible to the internet. LBRY also runs servers to assist in content hosting, but this process may fail if your device cannot send it to us. By default, the TCP sharing port is set to 3333. If your network is properly configured and LBRY is running, a port status check on TCP Port 3333 should pass on this [port checking tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org). If it fails, you can check if UPnP is enabled on your router or forward TCP port 3333 manually. If you need assistance, check out the [help page](https://lbry.io/faq/how-to-report-bugs) on how to reach us.

|
||||
If you want to run the LBRY app on multiple PCs or on other platforms like Android, you can sign in with the same email on all devices. Each installation will still have it's own separate wallet file and download data (as mentioned above). Any rewards earned will be sent locally to the wallet where they are claimed. In the future, it is our goal to enable an opt-in wallet syncing service across all of your devices.

### Why is content downloaded to my PC even when I stream?
|

LBRY is a decentralized peer to peer protocol, meaning there are no centralized servers or a single entity storing all the files (like YouTube). Instead, data is stored on each participant's computer locally (similar to BitTorrent). When you stream or download, LBRY will store the content in encrypted chunks called [blobs files](https://lbry.io/faq/lbry-directories) and seed it to the entire network so others can also download from you. It will also store the completed file in your downloads folder. Currently, there is no way to stop sharing or to store data temporarily, but you can always delete any files you don't want to seed from the LBRY app "Downloads" menu.

|

|
||||
- **We do not take a cut of any transactions.** When users purchase content on LBRY, 100% of the listed price goes to the publisher. There is also a fee paid to the decentralized network of hosts that store and deliver the content to you. LBRY Inc. doesn't take any of that unless the company is publishing or hosting content itself. The same rules apply to everyone.
|
||||
- **We do not earn profits from auctioning of names**, nor do we benefit from bidding wars over names. Our goal with the naming system is simply to allocate names most efficiently to benefit users.
|
||||
- **This is not a "pump and dump" scheme or vaporware.** See my essay [$1.2B Valuation and We Don't Care](https://lbry.io/news/1.2b-market-cap-we-dont-care). LBRY credits have already experienced a bubble, and we paid it no mind. LBRY is real software with a live blockchain and thousands of active users. Our goal is to increase the long-term value of the protocol, which if adopted globally, will make our reserve many times more valuable than any short-term bubble. We've already invested 10,000 working hours into this project, and it will take many more, but we're patient and focused on the future.

@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ Before talking about how names (URLs) in LBRY work, it's important to understand
|
|||
|
||||
Names exist so that we can map a human readable and understandable word or term to a more difficult to remember number or ID. In the traditional DNS (domain name system), names are mapped to a numerical IP address. In LBRY, names are mapped to a unique, permanent ID representing a piece of digital content and/or a publisher identity.
|
||||
|
||||
Designing a naming system that works well and fairly assigns names is quite hard! Consider the domain system you are likely using to access this document. Notice that you are reading this page on lbry.io, rather than lbry.com. Is it because lbry.com is providing some unique service? No! It is because a squatter was in possession of it, simply looking to auction the domain name to the highest bidder in demand. We had to negotiate for months (and pay lots of $$$) to get in possesion of the lbry.com domain and we don't want LBRY users to go through a similar experience...we'd rather leave it up to incentives and fixed protocol rules.

We had to negotiate for months (and pay lots of $$$) to get in possesion of the lbry.com domain and we don't want LBRY users to go through a similar experience...we'd rather leave it up to incentives and fixed protocol rules.
|
||||
|
||||
The traditional system has several other flaws. It is centralized and a mechanism of censorship, as holders do not have true ownership of their domain, only the top-level provider. Top-level domains (like .io) are also arbitrary and largely illogical (if designing the domain name system again, would we really want to add an arbitrary ".com" to the most prestigious URL for a given keyword? does LBRY have anything to do with the *I*ndian *O*cean?). Finally, in addition to incentivizing bad behavior, the flat-fee structure of domains prevents the good behavior from those who are priced out.

Proper network connectivity, visibility, and access is a necessity for usage of the LBRY app, as it is a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol that requires clients to see and communicate with each other. Since individual local network configurations, firewalls, and other security settings vary greatly, LBRY may require some basic network/PC troubleshooting in order to function properly. Since LBRY is in beta, there are certain configurations which we don't support yet, but can offer workarounds (see below) or offer [one-on-one troubleshooting](https://lbry.io/faq/how-to-report-bugs).

LBRY operates on a couple of different ports, and if there are conflicts/firewall rules/security settings that prevent them from being utilized, the app/daemon will experience start-up issues. LBRY tries to employ port forwarding through the use of UPnP, which may be disabled on some routers. Either UPnP must be enabled, or you have to manually forward the ports below (3333 TCP and 4444 UDP) in order to fully take advantage of the LBRY network. Only 1 PC on a network can have an open outside port, so if you are running multiple PCs with LBRY, they will need to be configured manually.
|
||||
|
||||
- Port 3333 - LBRY daemon runs and shares data on port 3333 (TCP) by default. Often times, this port can be already in use to due to mining software or other applications/services.
|
||||
- Port 4444 - LBRY daemon utilizes port 4444 to stream and download data from the LBRY network. If this port is taken or not working properly, you generally won't have start-up issues, but will instead encounter the inability to download any content. See the [streaming guide](https://lbry.io/faq/unable-to-stream) for the workaround.

### This is my first time running LBRY, and it won't start

- If don't see the LBRY app starting up at all on Windows, run LBRY.exe with CMD (command prompt) to further debug the problem. Navigate to the installation path e.g. `C:\Program Files\LBRY` for x64 and `C:\Program Files (x86)\LBRY` for x86, type `LBRY.exe` and hit enter for the app to launch. This will show any errors the app has starting up. The most common issue [is related to incorrect Windows environment variables](https://superuser.com/questions/1178674/wmic-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-operable-program-or/1178758).

- On Linux, LBRY may fail to start (home page won't load or missing authentication token in Help) because of missing authentication capability. Please see [GitHub issue](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/386) or a possible workaround below.

First and foremost, please ensure you are on the [latest version](https://lbry.io/get) of LBRY. Reinstalling the latest version may alleviate some start-up issues. Before installing, either make sure there are no running LBRY/lbrynet processes or simply reboot your computer.

- On older MAC installations, you may run into an issue with the daemon shutting down immediately. Please see [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/291) for troubleshooting.
|

### Known startup issues and workarounds
|
||||
#### Stuck at blockchain sync or wallet issues {#sync}
|
||||
If you are stuck on the blockchain sync step or it shows a block count that doesn't decrease, you may need to clear your blockchain headers and/or synced data. To do so, Shut LBRY down completely by closing it from the system tray (check for running LBRY/lbrynet-daemon processes), delete the `headers` and `blockchain.db` files in the [lbryum/lbc_mainnet folder](https://lbry.io/faq/lbry-directories) and then start LBRY again.

|
||||
|
||||
#### Linux auth_token requirements {#auth}
|
||||
Currently, LBRY requires an authorization token to be generated using the [keytar](https://github.com/atom/node-keytar) libraries. Please ensure libsecret and keytar are installed. On some distributions, LBRY won't run unless gnome-keyring is also installed/operational. See [GitHub issue](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/386) for more information. If you get a GLIBCXX_3.4.2 error, please see [this issue](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/423#issuecomment-327519486).

If you are having trouble streaming any LBRY content, there may be an issue with your connectivity to the LBRY network. Sometimes simply restarting the LBRY app and daemon completely could fix the problem - this is usually what you want to try first. Both PC and router firewall settings, as well as other applications which limit internet connectivity (i.e. Antiviruses or Internet security applications), may prevent your app from successfully connecting to the LBRY network. You can try disabling these or allowing LBRY to bypass them. Other times, it may be a hosting issue with the particular piece of content you are trying to download. Please report in the #help channel on [Discord](https://chat.lbry.io).

Please report in the #help channel on [Discord](https://chat.lbry.com).
|
||||
|
||||
Another common cause of this issue is the lack of access to UDP port 4444. LBRY employs UPnP (if enabled) in order to forward this port on your router automatically. If UPnP is disabled, it must either be enabled, or the port must be forwarded in your router configuration. We have also seen instances where some ISPs may block UDP port 4444, and for LBRY to download content properly, this port must be manually configured - see steps below.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to manually set the DHT (Content Network) port
|
||||
|
||||
1. Shutdown LBRY and lbrynet-daemon (check running processes using Task Manager on Windows or Activity Monitor on Mac OS.)
|
||||
2. Go to your [lbrynet folder](https://lbry.io/faq/lbry-directories).
|
||||
2. Go to your [lbrynet folder](/faq/lbry-directories).
|
||||
3. If you have a `daemon_settings.yml` file, add this line to it at the end (44444 is an example, can be changed): `dht_node_port: 44444`.
|
||||
4. If you don't have the `daemon_settings.yml` file, you can create one or download/copy [this sample](https://goo.gl/a5uJq5) into the `lbrynet` folder.
|
||||
5. Start LBRY and try to download a couple of items from the homepage. Be patient, if it doesn't work, leave the page and try again or a different video.
|
||||
6. Depending on your network, you may need UDP port 44444 (the new port you just set up) forwarded. Also, for file sharing to work properly, you may need TCP port 3333 open/forwarded. This can be verified by using a [port checker tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org) on port 3333. Port 44444 will fail since it's UDP.

## Open Source and Community Driven

The LBRY project is more than just a new protocol. It is also a company, *LBRY Inc.*, which is developing a *LBRY app* to allow users to interact with the protocol easily.
|
||||
|
||||
Not only is [our app](https://lbry.io/get?auto=1) completely open-source, but others are welcome to create competing apps that also use the LBRY protocol. For a content creator, your uploaded content will be available to all of these apps at the same time.

LBRY is best thought of as an application or a protocol, not a cryptocurrency. As such, it requires a blockchain designed specifically to solve the problems that LBRY faces.

Here's what she had to say:
|
||||
> "LBRY is an alpha stage protocol right now, which would make content viewable on URIs [Uniform Resource Identifier] which are not HTTP, but rather LBRY-specific URIs. Basically, combining the functionality of BitTorrent with the incentives of Bitcoin and the file storage capabilities of STRJ. They're looking for people to try to download and use their alpha software, which has to be done from the command line. If you're comfortable with that and you're willing just to download it and tell them how it felt for you, they'll give you 1,000 LBRY tokens. You just fill out a survey once you've completed the download process, send it back to them, and you get the bits."

The truth is that the LBRY protocol will allow patrons to pay publishers and hosts in BTC, though the default is LBC (LBRY credits). So as far as the patron is concerned, LBRY can run on bitcoin. The only time a user must use LBC is to reserve a name to **publish** content.

"Professor Huemer studies a subject few will touch nowadays: ethics. He's known for starting from premises everyone can agree on and be arriving at profound conclusions – simply by following a logical train of thought," Vine said. "If LBRY succeeds, the executive team will face decisions that will affect multitudes of people. I'm glad to have someone on board who can serve as an independent voice if we lose sight of our mission, or start rationalizing short-sighted decisions. Many people will question what use a company has for an Ethical Advisor; the better questions is why every company doesn't have one."
