The Lantern Ferry

Harbor & Pine · 1:36 · 2 ad breaks of 30 s

A small ferry crosses a quiet lake at dusk, from the dock to the lighthouse, while the stars come out.

Why one cent?

An ad pays a video site about half a cent to two cents each time it shows. Pay that cent yourself and skip the ad: the creator gets the same, and you get your 30 seconds back.

A card cannot do this: its fee is about 30 cents. Nano has no fee, so one cent arrives as one cent, in about a second.

How a real site adds it

  1. The site runs its own player (Video.js, JW Player, a Mux player, or its own) with an ad server that tells the player where the breaks are.
  2. When a break starts, the player shows a skip button and asks the site's server for a 1¢ checkout: a unique amount to the creator's Nano address.
  3. The server watches a Nano node for that exact payment. Once it confirms, it tells the player to end the break, and records a receipt for that viewer.
  4. The player counts a skipped break like a watched one, so the site and the advertiser stay honest with each other.

Why not on YouTube?

A site only controls the ads in its own player. On YouTube, Vimeo or any site where someone else runs the player and sells the ads, there is no way to end their ad break, so this only works where the site owns both: the player and the ad slots.

Here the payment goes to nano133.com's till, which sends it on in full; a cent that arrives after the ad has ended goes back to you by itself. More ways to add Nano to your site →
