From 5564be50dd7b50a350bbec4b5ca2d310aa24245d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Hobcroft Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 13:30:47 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Basic starting point guide This is a basic starting point guide for someone to use to easily get started with Transcoding on Livepool. It focuses on transcoding only with CPU by default - and demonstrates an incredibly low-barrier to entry to begin to make money. Further sections proposing to be added: - `systemd` setup - Enabling GPU Transcoding - Payments - Payment Schedule - Minimum Payout - Android / iOS installation ;) --- README.md | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 63 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index e69de29..9b5cd4d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,63 @@ +# Livepool Transcoder + +This document explains the process of setting up and operating a Transcoder in Livepool's Transcoding Pool. + +Livepool's Dashboard is available at [app.livepool.io](https://app.livepool.io). + +## Pre-requisites + +The following are required in order to begin: + +- Ethereum Address +- Computer connected to the internet + - Linux, Mac or Windows + +## Basic Installation + +### Linux (Ubuntu) + +1.
