Register Musetub: per-watch-time video streaming with private creator earnings

[DavidIfebueme]

Registering Musetub for the STRK20 Private Sprint.

What we're building

A video streaming platform on Starknet, Twitch and Kick style, but viewers pay per watch-time (per second) instead of a subscription. Content creators post videos and earn from the watch-time they pull.

Why privacy

• Creator earnings stay private. Payouts route through the STRK20 privacy pool as shielded notes. A creator sees their own balance; nobody sees what anyone earns, except a designated auditor when the law requires it.
• Viewer watch history stays private. The payment is decoupled from the content, so a shielded note does not tell an outside observer what a viewer watched.

How it works

• Viewer hits play, the server answers with an x402 payment handshake pricing the watch session.
• Viewer signs once, gasless via a paymaster.
• Watch-time is metered off-chain; the backend counts seconds.
• On session end, one batched on-chain transaction settles the metered amount and routes a cut to the creator as a shielded STRK20 note.

Applied to main as adf1aea - your project is on the hub within the half hour.

Closed rather than merged because the entry was rebuilt on top of everything else that landed while this was open. That is what stops registrations from deleting each other, and it means you never had to resolve a conflict. The commit is credited to you.
