This section describes how bids are processed by the ClaimTrie in order to determine which bids have won the rights to claim a particular name. There are 6 states a bid can be in, and they are explained below.
|
||||
|
||||
1. *Not accepted*: This bid is in a transaction which has not yet been included in a block which has been included in the blockchain.
|
||||
2. *Accepted*: This bid has been accepted into the blockchain. this happens when the transaction containing the txout which contains the bid is included in a block which is included in the blockchain.

2. *Accepted*: This bid has been accepted into the blockchain. This happens when the transaction containing the TXout which contains the bid is included in a block which is included in the blockchain.
|
||||
3. *Active*: This bid is capable of controlling a name. Active bids must be in the “accepted” state and not “expired” or “spent”. Bids are “active” when either of the two conditions below are met:
|
||||
* The current block height exceeds the height of the block at which the bid became accepted plus the activation delay for the name as calculated at either the block at which the bid was accepted or any block after the bid was accepted. The activation delay is calculated as follows:
|
||||
* If, immediately before this block was included in the blockchain, there were no ‘active’ bids for the name and therefore no ‘controlling’ bids, the delay is 0.
|
||||
* If there is a “controlling” bid for the name: Delay = (HeightB - HeightA) / 32
|
||||
* HeightA = the most recent height at which the bid controlling the name changed
|
||||
* HeightB = the current height
|
||||
* Maximum delay is 7 days of blocks at 2.5 min/block (or 4032 blocks) . Thus maximum delay can be reached in 224 (7x32) days.
|
||||
* The bid’s Claim Id matches the Claim Id of the bid which was the controlling bid immediately before the block containing this bid was included in the blockchain. In other words, it is either an update to the previous controlling bid, or an update to an update to the previous controlling bid if the bid was updated twice in this block, etc

4. *Controlling*: This bid currently controls the name. When clients ask which bid controls the name as of the current block, this is the bid that will be returned. Must be in the “active” state and only one bid for any name may be in this state. A support can not be in the “controlling” state.

Must be in the “active” state and only one bid for any name may be in this state. A support cannot be in the “controlling” state. To determine which “active” bid is the “controlling” bid for each name:
|
||||
* Add the quantity of each ‘active’ bid to the quantity of all ‘active’ supports for that bid, and take whichever is greatest. If two bids have the same quantity, older bids take precedence over newer bids.
|
||||
|
||||
* If the bid with the greatest amount does not have the same claimID as the bid which was ‘controlling’ prior to including the current block, change the delay for the name as of the current block to 0, redetermine which bids and supports should be active, and then perform the previous calculation again.
|
||||
|
||||
* At this point, the bid calculated to have the greatest amount behind it is the ‘controlling’ bid as of this block

5. *Spent*: A transaction has been included in the blockchain which spends the txout which contains the bid. Must be in the ‘accepted’ state.

6. *Expired*: All bids ‘expire’ regardless of what state they are in when the current block height exceeds the height of the block at which the bid was accepted plus 52416 blocks, or 91 days ( currently this is set to 262974 blocks, or 456 days, which will be fixed in a future hard fork ). Updated claims will restart the expiration timer at the block height of the update.

It might be easier to start with what LBRY is not: it is not just another corporate media service like YouTube or iTunes or Spotify. It is first and foremost a new *protocol* that allows artists to upload their content to a network of hosts (like BitTorrent) and set a price per stream or download (like iTunes) or give it away for free (like YouTube without ads). What makes this all possible is the blockchain technology developed by the founder of Bitcoin. Do you have to understand any of this to use and enjoy LBRY? No. Does it still matter to users? Yes!

Gmail has built an extremely popular email service on top of the near-universal *SMTP protocol* that everyone uses to exchange emails. Anyone sending email with SMTP can communicate with Gmail addresses, no matter what email platform they use (Yahoo!, AOL, iCloud, etc.). Google can’t interfere with someone emailing from an @yahoo.com address to an @aol.com address – and users are free to switch between services at any time, taking their emails with them. Users have a lot of power in open protocols that is often taken for granted.

Compare this to a proprietary, centrally controlled service like Facebook Messenger. If you conduct all of your social communications via Messenger, you’re stuck in that environment – you cannot move your messages or contacts over to Google Chat or Skype. And if Facebook changes the way Messenger functions by censoring conversations or sharing your information with advertisers or governments, tough luck.

Still trying to wrap your head around LBRY? Mike Vine, our Technology Evangelist, explained the nuts and bolt in this interview with Albert K. Lu on *The Power & Market Report*.

When the PS3 was released, many tech enthusiasts were eager to buy such a powerful computer for such a low price, despite it masquerading as a gaming machine. They would install linux on their PS3 and use it as a desktop computer. To their dismay, Sony responded with lawsuits claiming copyright violation. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), corporations have gained sweeping powers to effectively retain ownership even after the item has been sold.

Copyright has gone far beyond its original intent and beyond how most people understand it to work. Instead of being used to prevent copying, it is now also used to prevent modification – even if there is no commercial angle to the modification and the only purpose is better satisfying the desires of the owner. Maybe taking notes in the margin of your favorite book isn’t so clearly legal after all; the fact that such an argument could be made demonstrates the ridiculousness of the DMCA and how it hurts customers.

The new DMCA exemption is a great start, but in the grand scheme it is a mere baby step. The DMCA prevents you from having products you can trust. It is also quite telling of how corporations view their customers when they pursue unpaid volunteers trying to fix product mistakes. You’d think they’d be happy such people are out there. To be sure, some corporations appreciate these types of customers – but the good guys don’t have the same lobbying power. That’s because DMCA supporters view their customers as their own assets, as subjects who are only allowed to play with the toys they’ve bought within the officially sanctioned sandbox. I hope the trend reverses, but to get there we’re going to need to expose deception, negligence, or the more benign incompetence in far more areas than the automotive industry alone.

<p>To evaluate a technology’s effect, we must consider where it moves us from the current state of affairs, not judge against a Platonic ideal or past era. In assessing LBRY, we must compare it to a world in which BitTorrent already exists and is quite popular, not the 1950s. LBRY is an improvement over BitTorrent in combatting unsavory content in at least four ways:</p>

<ol><li><strong>More records. </strong>LBRY contains a public ledger of transactions recording name purchases and content publishings. As many purchases make it onto the ledger as well, this means infringing actions are frequently recorded <em>forever, </em>or are at a minimum widely observable.</li>

<li><strong>Updatable URLs.</strong> Once a BitTorrent magnet hash is in the wild, there is no mechanism to update or alter its resolution whatsoever. If a LBRY name is pointing to infringing content, it can be updated or removed (but not by us). </li>

<li><strong>Operate openly, inclusively, and transparently.</strong> Anyone can publish or interact with the LBRY network. No one needs permission from us or anyone else. LBRY encourages all parties to participate in the network, rather than the creation of walled gardens. LBRY is a completely open specification and all code is open source.</li>

<li><strong>Prove decentralization doesn’t mean infringement.</strong> Existing decentralized publishing protocols offer no way for rightsholders to combat or capture profits from illegally shared content. LBRY’s service layer, blacklisting mechanisms, and naming system all improve the status quo.</li>

If it is impossible to keep drugs out of prisons, it will never be possible to enforce copyright via analogous tactics on the infinitely less-controlled internet. Instead, focus on enticement. While legal compliance is paramount, concentrate as much as possible on making a system that relies more on giving people no excuse to do the wrong thing.</li>

<li><strong>Collect no rent.</strong>. Whatever an artist or creator charges for their work should go to them. Distributing bits is exceedingly simple. There’s no need to give 45% to YouTube or 30% to Apple. Collecting no rent isn’t just a promise, it’s hard coded. The nature of LBRY means this could never be done -- by us or anyone else.</li>

<h4>Content Distribution</h4>
|
||||
<p>Digital content distributors with server-client models are subject to the whims of internet service providers and hostile foreign governments. Traffic from the host servers can be throttled or halted altogether if the owners of cables and routers so choose. However, in case of the LBRY protocol content comes from anywhere and everywhere, and is therefore not so easily stifled. </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Additionally, the market mechanisms of LBRY create a strong incentive for efficient distribution, which will save the costs of producers and ISPs alike. These properties, along with LBRY’s infringement disincentivizing properties, make LBRY an appealing technology for large existing data or content distributors.</p>

<h4>Transaction Settlement</h4>
|
||||
<p>While payments can be issued directly on the LBRY blockchain, the LBRY protocol encourages a volume of transactions that will not scale without usage of off-chain settlement.</p>
