How to Get a Crypto Address and a Video in one file?
Hi Guys / Gals
We are setting up a small media company. Where 100s different people will send their videos on specific questions we ask, and they will be paid if we use their videos on our channel. Sort of similar to the programme "you have been framed", but this is all online.
We were considering paying through crypto as it will be convenient, probably Doge.
I understand that we can get the videos through our website, if we copy paste the file request link. But is it possible to get an crypto address from them somehow as well in one file or maybe instead of their email they write the address (dropbox says wrong email format). The only other way I see possible is if people send 2 files, video and a notepad file with address on. Any other way? Thanks for your help!

Based on your use case, 2 files seems like a way to go. Sorry that I can't think of any other/better way.
Thanks for your reply. But is there something we can do so that we can associate the video with the correct address file? Suppose we get 10 videos and 10 address file, and we are only using 5. How can we differentiate 100% which video belongs to which address. Thanks

You could use the naming convention feature to ensure that the sender's name is automatically included in the submitted files. But if your use case involves one sender submitting multiple videos and keys, that doesn't necessarily solve your problem. May be you could request submitters to manually follow a certain naming convention? You could also ask them to upload a zip file that contains a video file and a key text file. Does that help at all?
I did saw the naming convention, you are right it could be our best bet. I need to look more into it. Thx
