There is a companion article describing some of the challenges experienced getting paid out in crypto via the Rokfin video streaming platform, which you can find here.

There is another companion piece detailing the technical usability issues with the platform from both a livestreamer's perspective as well as a viewer's, which you can find here.

There was a third companion piece published on September 17 – Rokfin: Who Would Buy Them and Why? – exploring the prospect of Rokfin being on the market.

We then published two more updates in October (Rokfin October Update: Not Looking Good & Rokfin Pays SHORT & STILL Ghosting INN), at which time we made the decision to stop putting new content on Rokfin.

What's Been Happening With Rokfin Since October 15?

We published our last update about Rokfin on October 15, 2024. On October 25, I sent a very detailed, bulleted email to Matt, my primary contact, ccing Martin Floreani, CEO. I asked for answers to very specific questions, on the record, about the new LLC registered, about the tech issues, etc.

Within 90 minutes, I received a reply from Martin himself. This was the first time I had heard from Martin since our channel began having streaming issues in June.

His abrupt offer was to apologize that the platform wasn't working for us, and to help us "make your transition off the platform". He did not address one question in my list, specifically about the LLC he established in September. To my knowledge, none of the questions I asked have been addressed.

I never bothered to reply to Martin, hoping they might eventually fix up the platform, fix our channel & make it viable to add to our group of censorship-free, ad-free platforms. We only had one paid subscriber, who canceled the following month.

Other than the videos that already sit there as an archive, we haven't missed it much – nor have we missed the challenge of converting the crypto to usable cash. We haven't heard much of anything from anyone at Rokfin since the October email exchange, save for seeing them promote some NCAA wrestling stuff in November and December.

IndieNews Network (INN) has continued to not stream there and they have made zero effort to communicate with us, or, to our knowledge, ANY creator in the independent space since – unless they are asked a direct question.
