BlockTube

Current

• Compress Bitcoin block data into .tgz files
• Use @DvorakDwarfx Infinite-Storage-Glitch to convert compressed block data into video files
• Upload block data video file to YouTube via API

Future

• Run alongside bitcoind listening for new blocks
• Compress, convert to video and upload to YouTube in real-time

To Do

• Get bigger SSD
• Compressor: compresses blk.dat files into blk.dat.tgz files
• Etcher: uses isg_4real to convert blk.dat.tgz files into blk.dat.avi video files
• Publisher: use YouTube API to upload blk.dat.avi files to YT channel
• Orchestrater: make them all work together - Compressor --> Videographer --> Publisher
• Integrator: watch full node .bitcoin/blocks folder for a newly finished blk.dat file and run alongside bitcoind

Considerations:

• write a listener for new blk.dat files
• upon new blk.dat file, execure compressor -> videographer -> publisher
