It was Akinwales search for lucrative crypto mining that brought him to LBRY. As he learned more about the project, his interest quickly turned to helping the team build the content sharing platform of the future.
Akinwale has worked on everything from rewriting a new block explorer from the ground up, improvements to the apps interface, as well as leading the effort to successfully get the daemon running on Android.
When hes not working on LBRY, he actively participates in competitive programming contests on Topcoder, and is a two-time champion of the annual Topcoder Open event.

Johnny thinks a lot about how attention works on the internet. Having started programming in elementary
school, he became infatuated with how we communicate with and through computers. Eventually, he did
a Ph.D. studying belief systems computationally. Immediately afterwards he left academia, intent on
putting what he learned into practice.
Johnny cares about the systems we inhabit -- how they allow us to exchange ideas and find each other.
In short, he's motivated by the premise that we can "engineer the noosphere." The internet and
everything after is still in early development! Given that he believes censorship-resistance is a
long-term evolutionary pressure, it doesn't make sense to work on a platform that doesn't treat it as a given.

Mark Beamer is an inveterate entrepreneur. Ever since he founded his first company (Beamer Lawn Service) at 16, he's pursued new and interesting business ideas.

His continued passion for software led him to close the business after 4 years and pursue a BS in computational science and mathematics.
Mark has been developing software ever since. He found LBRY summer of 2017 on a leisurely weekend, saw the coding maxims and was sucked in instantly. LBRY has been his focus since.

Tom discovered LBRY, as many have, through mining. His time spent in the LBRY Slack channels quickly grew his interest in the concept that was being developed, and the team doing the development. Tom found his place on the team providing top-notch support for (and driving the growth of) the LBRY user community, in addition to many other invaluable functions.
Tom holds a Bachelors in Computer Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a Masters in Systems Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, and served his country proudly as a Civilian in the US Army for 7 years.

Right now, it's simple: you host what you download and publish on the LBRY Desktop app (hosting not available on lbry.tv, odysee.com or Android). The hosted data is stored in the [lbrynet/blob files folder](https://lbry.com/faq/lbry-directories).

## How do I know if I'm sharing content and helping the LBRY network properly?
The easiest way to confirm that you are sharing correctly is to determine if the port used for seeding (3333 TCP) is open to the rest of the LBRY network. To do so, type 3333 into [this port checking tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org) and check the result. It if shows "Success", you are all set. If it shows "Error", you may need to check your router settings for UPnP options (set to enable) or forward TCP port 3333 and UDP Port 4444 to your local computer running the LBRY Desktop. Firewall and NAT settings may also affect the availability of these ports. Also, when you access the checking tool page, check if in the browser there is no active plug-in or extension that act as a VPN. In this case the result could be false and indeed your Desktop app could have access to these ports, but the browser not. For more details see [this](/faq/host-content).

title: How does the company behind LBRY make money?
category: other
---
The LBRY protocol has a built-in digital currency that allows it to function called LBRY Credits (LBC), similar to Bitcoin. A built-in digital currency creates an opportunity for a new kind of business that has never existed: [the protocol-first enterprise](https://medium.com/the-coinbase-blog/app-coins-and-the-dawn-of-the-decentralized-business-model-8b8c951e734f#.6mr8znoiu).
LBRY Inc. has reserved 10% of all LBRY Credits to fund continued development and provide profit for the founders. Since Credits only gain value as the use of the protocol grows, the company has an incentive to continue developing this open-source project, and we can do it all without taking a percentage of anyone's transactions.
Here's how LBRY Inc. **doesn't** make money:
- **We do not take a cut of any LBC transactions.** When users purchase content on LBRY, 100% of the listed price goes to the publisher. There is also a small fee added on top that is 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.** LBRY Credits have already experienced a bubble, and we paid it no mind. LBRY is real software with a live blockchain and hundreds of thousands 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're patient and focused on the future.
LBRY, Inc. also makes or will make money through financial exchanges, optional advertising, providing value-added services to LBRY users and/or consulting content producers who want to harness the power of LBRY. But remember, by design, **we are not able** to single-handedly change the rules on users of the network.

Proper network connectivity, visibility, and access is a necessity for usage of the LBRY Desktop 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](/faq/how-to-report-bugs).

## How does content make it into top or trending?
Top content is based on calculations around the total LBC value of content, which is accumulated through the claim bid amount plus any community [tipping and supports](https://lbry.com/faq/tipping). Trending is similar and is based on tip/support changes over a period of time. The Top category is normally instant - the highest-ranked LBC content will appear at the top when published in the time periods specified. Trending takes some time to update and larger tips/supports may see a delay to avoid abuse.

## How is this different from YouTube?
YouTube uses obscured, secret algorithms that are designed to be biased in favor of the mainstream media and other creators they prefer, rather than being neutral to all content ([See Veritasium's take on this](https://lbry.tv/@veritasium:f/my-video-went-viral-here-s-why:e)).
LBRY creates open-source code that allows all of the world to see precisely how our features work. We can then write articles like this one that tries to spell it out in plain language. The source code for the Trending/Top/New functionality is viewable [here](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk/tree/master/lbry/wallet/server/db/trending).
