This could be very interesting. More information is needed.
The main questions, in my mind, have to do with expandability and pricing structure.

We don`t know how to monetize this but we have many happy broadcasters. It's awesome!
Soon we'll add a "donate" button.

I appreciate your reply.
I sympathize with your not knowing how to monetize it, though I could think of a myriad of ways.
I read the message thread on the OBS site and noticed that there were some good things said about what you are doing.

The expandability questions I have are similar to those had by others there. Restreaming takes a considerable amount of bandwidth, and, as they mentioned, bandwidth isn't free. Considering that, Restream.io must be incurring some cost in that regard. The stability of a site like this is going to hinge on the ability to sustain its product, in this case restream connections. One would suspect that, in the near future, restream will, either, have to pass the cost of bandwidth on to their customers, find investors, or implement and ad insertion capability - or a combination of the above - in order to continue operations.

Further, expandability beyond the current connectivity options (Hitbox, Ustream, Vaughn, Twitch, YouTube, etc.) may be an important consideration, to appeal to, both, an expanded customer and, possible, investor base.

I plan on taking a closer look at this service in the near future, to test the capability of it.

Thank's.
Of course we thought about such things.
Please, contact us team@restream.io with your questions and propositions.

The more I think about this, the more important I believe it is that you will need to find a method of ensuring longevity of your service, in order for most serious Internet broadcaster, podcasters and other live-streamers, to take you seriously and make the move to using your service.

Most who are serious about their streams will not risk losing viewers, because the "multiple restreamed" locations have disappeared because the service that restreamed them disappeared as well.

I, still, plan on looking at your service more in depth and, of course, wish you the very best of luck with it, as it sounds like something that has a lot of promise.
