How to create a platform site to host multiple live streams (like Twitch)?

Question

Video broadcast

Greetings! Interested in the process and nuances in creating a streaming platform similar to twitch - the structure of creation, connecting payment systems, registration and taxation and other nuances (a link to a similar guide to creating, with a description of the nuances, necessary knowledge and tools will already be an excellent answer)
Interested as an option independent creation, and the estimated cost and terms of work of professionals.
I would be grateful for any comments and clarifications on the issue.

Answer 1

If you are serious about streaming, I will hasten to dissuade you. Connecting payment systems, registration and taxation are not nuances. It's somewhere, maybe 150. What is the area of ​​your business? Do you want to cover the entire globe? You need a minimum bittorrnet protocol developer. It will be 1000% easier to agree on taxation in case of income with all states (I think it is not necessary to pay taxes without income) than to agree with providers on petabytes of traffic per day without income.
Why do you need a traffic guru? Imagine the situation, in New York there is a CS:GO championship, and 90% of the viewers are in Australia, it goes on for up to a minute and then bam, in a minute all the Australians went to bed, because their team played and the Russian team came to replace it and now already 90% of viewers in Russia. Your equipment, your arrangements with transcontinental providers, must be ready for such a turn. I know from twitch that they often fail to cope with it, and 1/2 could not do without embarrassment on their part. And you just need traffic for a good picture... wagonloads... and 70% of visitors are not even authorized. Everything is free... Probably, it will take several years to achieve the first results.
But there is another topic, if you discard censorship, make it possible to stream anonymously, with blackjack and girls, and make payments in bitcoins, I think that even in narrow circles your startup will have exponentially progressive popularity (18+ streams). And the traffic there will be decentralized, like in torrents. If you want, this is possible thanks to the open source project https://www.tribler.org/ . Develop it, they are just now having problems with people and cash. I think a year or two and torrents will be closed in 50% of the globe, Tribler will be a worthy alternative.
