I forgot to consider Run.
I was not aware of anybody getting >10Mb using Run, as of last year.

I can't help you 100%, yet this status has been a long-standing curiosity of my own.

Short answers are,

  1. using bcat protocol
  2. doubtful at the moment (not knowing their code myself), but not a bridge too far

longer answer:
The intent was to use the bcat protocol,
https://bcat.bico.media/ following unwriter's bitcom
where the file is broken into a handful of sequential data segments that are posted as 'Bcat part' data only, then the Bcat is posted with the sequence of txids.

I don't believe unwriter implemented bcat in addition to b: protocol. The relevant question is if any of the libraries in common use today for apps are supporting it? I believe Not.
I did a quick github search. All I found was bitsko who did a shell, recently:
https://github.com/bitsko/bcat_protocol_retriever_for_bsv

Similarly, if there were an app backend library that supported handling that json manifest shown, I expect folks could have their apps run the video.

I am guessing that somebody eventually might use 1sat ordinal inscriptions do so something similar. Its possible that bcat isn't the future as it has no adoption.

Another thing I would say is reach out to the gorilla pool guys about being interested in large file support, as they seem to be leading in APIs these days. i.e.
https://junglebus.gorillapool.io/docs/#/?id=b-protocol

I see possible use cases for putting 3D objects on chain, which are also too large for current support. This is why I am interested.

Hi all. I have a bit of trouble here with my old iphone device. so here i am with desktop.
I have different ids and wallets all over the place. I never set out to confuse people, it's just my chaotic way I suppose. I've been somewhere in BSV all along.
I've always been a big supporter of this boost concept.
For tech perspective, my view is the world needs mass adoption of highly-scaled blockchain + user managed on-chain IDs + ZKP + Boost.
I also believe need AI Accountability locked onto blockchain as a basic model for AI deployment

Question:

How does one add a ~12MB video to the blockchain?

I have been trying with bico.media for months without success.

I reached out to them via email, but they were unable to help.

  1. How can I add a small video to the BSV blockchain?

  2. Would it render as a video on pow.co?

LQ, muffled audio, as if this came off VHS. Somebody holds rights to the original high quality production which I hope becomes available someday
