[ MANIFESTO · v1 ]

Stamp it before you post it.

The internet has more video than it has memory. The platforms have more storage than they have spine. Creators have more output than they have proof. We're here to fix the last one — and burn the rest down on the way.

[ SOME STUFF NEEDS TO DIE ]

"Free" hosting was never free. You were the invoice.

YouTube hosts the dumbest fourteen seconds of your cousin's 2009 birthday party in 4K, forever, for nothing. Then it monetizes you — your watch time, your attention, your face training the next ad model. The clip costs them pennies; it costs you everything they can extract from sitting next to it.

That model produced an ocean of video nobody asked for and a generation of creators who don't own their work, can't move it, and can't prove they made it. The platform is the vault, the judge, the bouncer, and the monetization event.

We charge you for hosting. On purpose. Because anything that gets paid for gets respected, and anything that's free gets weaponized.

[ PROOF IS VITAL ]

If you can't prove you made it, you didn't.

Every creator alive is one screen-record away from watching their work go viral under someone else's name. The current defense is a DM that says "hey that was mine" and a prayer that the algorithm cares. It doesn't.

Content-addressing fixes this. The file's hash is its name. A timestamp on a public chain says this exact bitstream existed at this exact second, signed by this exact wallet. No reposter, no scraper, no AI-laundering pipeline can produce an earlier receipt for a file they didn't make.

The rule is simple: stamp it before you post it. Anywhere. Every time. The thirty seconds it takes to mint a CID and a TXC stamp is the cheapest insurance policy your career will ever buy.

[ THE NEW WORKFLOW ]
  1. 01
    Shoot.

    Edit. Export. Same as always.

  2. 02
    Stamp it on streamTXC.

    Pin to IPFS, get a CID, anchor it to your wallet on-chain. Thirty seconds. A few cents.

  3. 03
    Then post anywhere.

    TikTok, IG, X, YouTube, Farcaster, your group chat. Let them compress it, re-upload it, steal it. Your receipt is older than every copy.

You wouldn't ship code without a commit. Stop shipping video without one.
