Interesting proposal, weird yet smart. But gotta ask a question, this load on hive servers would be worth is spend and be able to upkeep itself right? I see that before ...The biggest problem Lightning has is the difficulty of actually receiving Lightning in a non-custodial way. You pretty much have to run your own server or rent a cloud server. There is no alternative.... You point out that any non custodial had to go big or go home, so hive sure helps clean that problem and the quircks of lightning sure are ... Desirable, to say the least.
But new podcasters would be able to upkeep their cost? For example, 3speak takes 11% of the share of any post you make, this app would take a % as well in order to keep it running right?
Last, how in the hell you manage to get that laptop to run this xD? That sure makes me wonder how my pc works hahahaha, its almost burning to death while i comment this, and yet is more "powerfull" than that laptop.
