title: How is LBRY different from Decent / SingularDTV / Alexandria?
|
|
category: differences

|
The first and biggest difference is that LBRY exists and has significant traction. As of this writing, Alexandria is the only one of these to release a client to the public, and there hasn't been much progress since that release.

|
|
|
It's difficult to compare LBRY to something that doesn't exist yet, but as we understand it, no alternative is providing a human-friendly namespace and discovery mechanisms like LBRY.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, LBRY is the only one of these three to see significant backing outside of the cryptocurrency niche. While we love crypto, we're aiming to be a mainstream, household technology. To that extent, the fact that LBRY has backing from major VCs, tech companies, and Hollywood studios says a lot.

|
Finally, unlike almost every blockchain company, we've never hosted an ICO or sold coins to the public. We've put ourselves in a position where the only way we make money is if LBRY achieves long-term success. To us, having "skin in the game" is a moral imperative.
