Subsequently, the content server 40 transmits the designated moving image content A to the terminal 50B (step S26). Subsequently, the control unit 55 of the terminal 50B reproduces the received moving image content A (step S27). Subsequently, the control unit 55 of the terminal 50B detects that the viewing of the moving image content A is completed (step S28). The process from step S24 to step S28 may be the same as the process from step S1 to step S5.

Subsequently, the control unit 55 of the terminal 50B displays a message on the screen indicating that the privilege has been granted by viewing the video content A shared on the SNS (step S29). In the example of FIG. 5D, the control unit 55 of the terminal 50B displays a message 532 indicating that the privilege has been granted by viewing the video content A shared on the SNS on the display screen 531 and "○○○". The "Receive" button 533 is displayed. In the message 532, since the user B has watched the video content A shared by the user A on the SNS to the user B, a second amount of virtual currency A, which is more than the first amount given when the viewing is not by sharing, is given. It is shown that When the "receive XX" button 533 is pressed by the user B, the terminal 50B may execute the following processing.

Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 53 of the terminal 50B transmits a notification indicating that the moving image content A has been viewed to the distributed ledger server 30 (step S30). Here, the notification includes, for example, the encryption address of the wallet of the user B who has viewed the video content, the identification information of the video content A, the information regarding the viewing time of the video content A, and the wallet of the user A who has shared the video content.
