Just created an account, and have started syncing my YouTube uploads to it (it ain't much, but whatever). I ain't entirely sold on the whole blockchain aspect, but hey, worth trying, right?

One question, though: I started off at https://lbry.com/youtube and started the sync process with a channel name, and then created an account with a different starting channel name; will both channels get correctly tied to my account? They're currently set to the same email address.

Awesome, thank you for syncing! The sync process actually creates a separate channel for you, which is later transferred to your account. You can clean up the old channel: lbry.com/faq/youtube#cleanup

The above FAQ also explains the process in more detail. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Separate channel is perfect (I do want them to be distinct). Looks like it did indeed get tied to the account I created, so we're good :)
