Integrate Connext 2.0 into `videoDAC` template pay-to-play stream Consumer app
videodac
pay-to-play, Ethereum, livestreaming, state-channels
# Current Situation
Currently, Video DAC's pay-as-you-go Android app template (e.g. used in [Görli TV app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.videodac.hls)) can be configured to make payment of 0.0005 ETH (~13¢) via the app every 1 minute using native onchain ETH transactions.
Each transaction requires gas to be paid (21,000 units), which at 2 gwei gas is 0.000042 ETH (~1.1¢), or 8.4% fees.
This is relatively expensive, when charging e.g. 10¢ per minute, and it hinders us from charging per second (instead of per minute).
# Scope of this issue
This issue is about integrating the Görli TV app with Connext 2.0, to allow payments to be made with lower (preferably `zero`) per-payment transaction costs.
The app should release payment into the recipient's control after every 1s of streaming video content watched by the viewer.
# Out of scope
The app does not need to:
- Provide a way for a user to withdraw their credit balance (they can only use it by watching)
- Include end-user functionality for "loading up" their Connext wallet. This should be automated in the app.
# Implications of this functionality
The key output of this functionality would be to allow the app to be configured to send smaller payments per `unit of time`. For example, sending
> 0.0001 $DAI per 1 second of video played. This equates to e.g. 0.6¢ per minute, or $0.36 per hour of video played.
It would also enable payments in ETH or an ERC-20 token (e.g. a Stablecoin such as $DAI, or a project's own coin such as $BAT, $MKR, $OMG, $SNT, $OXT, $ZRX, $PLN, $JULIEN, $cDAI, Tether).
# Specific deliverables
- Pull request to github.com/videoDAC/apps with new code base using Connext 2.0
- APK files for `debug` for testing and `release` to release as "Rinkeby TV", with associated git commit hashes
- Update to documentation about how to use app template for a user to launch a their own pay-to-play app
# Some specific requirements
- In terms of "depositing funds into Connext", the UX should automatically handle this, and be hidden from the user. The user should just be able to send DAI to the app's address, and the app handles everything else, in terms of "depositing into Connext"
- App should not use package name `com.videodac.hls`, as this clashes with existing deployment (Görli TV)
