LBRY, pronounced “Library,” is a blockchain project that’s aiming to build a decentralized web hosting solution for video, audio, and other media. All users who download the desktop client essentially help host parts of the LBRY network while anyone can also upload almost anything to the service by using the same app.

Once files have been uploaded to the LBRY blockchain, they can be accessed within the LBRY app or by using an alternative interface such as Odysee which is basically a YouTube rival that focuses primarily on LBRY-hosted videos.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
