My guess is that this might require another blockchain with different reward system. I'm not very familiar with live-streaming, but if I have understood correctly, life of the content is very short. It might need something like 2 hour time window for the first reward payment to get the dynamics right with live content. After the stream has ended, very few are interested in it anymore.

Not only can you use the same blockchain but you can use the accounts from this blockchain. Steem is the underlying technology based on Graphene which has more than enough scalability to support multiple front ends. The Streemit or Streem live chat would to the blockchain use the same reward mechanisms as Steemit but the front end and UX would be different, and maybe additional features could be built exclusively for live functionality. But from what I know so far, there will be a sort of text based Steem chat being developed so all they would need to do is add web rtc or something similar. You might need some additional features of course but in general if a chatroom is the equivalent of a blogpost on Steemit, and you break the text functions into comments, it could work. The issue would be what if the live Streemit becomes more popular? But I don't see why features couldn't be built into Steem itself to support live interfaces and live streams, so it's just a matter of paying the developers which itself is just a matter of upvoting the attempts.

You make a good point with regard to the time window. Again, there probably will have to be some subtle modifications to Steem to allow for live features but once that is done then I don't see a problem. I think it would be rather trivial really compared to the other stuff they are working on or have done. With live content the payout schedule could be exactly the same. People make a live show, as people join the chat they watch the broadcast or participate in the chat. Anyone who joins the chat automatically upvotes the room they join unless they specifically downvote. This would monetize any chatroom which gets a lot of people in them. The live stream can be recorded or off the record, and if recorded then people can replay it and vote it up or down for 24 hours. After that then 30 days just like Steemit. And then people can vote for members in the chat by voting up text comments or voting up individual broadcasters. Thoughts?

What if the subtle modifications to Steem are incompatible with other subtle modifications required for other apps on Steem, like Steem StackOverflow, or SteemTwitter, etc... I am wondering whether these things have been considered by the Steem founders.

Then that would be a poorly designed Steem and maybe Steem should redesign to be more extensible. Steem has to be able to evolve with the technology or eventually it will be over taken. If people are moving toward live streaming platforms and away from text only communications then Steemit has to at least be able to adapt to that. Blab got over 3 million users first year. Steemit might get a million users first year, but if Steem is to compete with the big boys it has to figure out how to integrate with live streaming. From what I can see there is nothing specific about Steem technology which would exclude it from being applied to live streams. So it's a matter of simply upgrading Steem to better support live content.

I think there might be a need to several sidechains in the future. Right now we have just one reward payout system, but to fully capture all potential, we might need many of them. In my post [What is the ten year vision for Steem blockchain?](https://steemit.com/steem/@samupaha/what-is-the-ten-year-vision-for-steem-blockchain) I was thinking about three chains: - **Fresh content.** Twitter-like short messages, memes, breaking news. If content is older than 24 hours, very few are interested in it anymore. - **Blog-like content.** Essays, opinions, commentary, etc. Stays relevant from a few days to a few months. - **Book-like content.** Long texts. Stays relevant for years. Live streaming goes to the first category.
