Are you a streamer? Do you know streamers? Please read and share this post.
I'm currently exploring the feasibility to bring a restream.io type project for HIVE users. I gotta say, with all the things that restream.io offers for free, it makes this a hard market to get into. There are others too, such as castr, but each one has its costs and benefits.

After looking at the potential upsides and downsides, I'm left with a few questions, and the answers (or lack thereof) to these questions will be crucial in determining if this is a worthy pursuit. If you currently stream, even casually, please leave your answers in the comments below:
- Do you stream to @vimm or @threespeak?
- Have you or do you use a restream service?
- Do you pay for a restream service?
- What features are a must have (i.e. chat combining, announcement bots, platforms, etc)?
- Would you like to pay in HIVE for this service?
I think there's a way to make this work, provide free streaming to both Vimm.tv and 3speak.online, and make it affordable for users as well, but it's going to depend on what people expect, and if it's something that's needed to begin with.
