ps... when is STEEMIT going to host it own video content? There is money to be made/spread via content that has ads that pays the viewer, or the view gets ad FREE video but no payout. STEEMIT is the place for that. @dollarvigilante you might help instigate that as I sit hit watching your Youtube video on Steemit.

This really does need to happen. When we use youtube and other places some of our content can still be censored at those locations. Someone needs to find a way to do some form a distributed video system. Something similar to magnetic links with torrents maybe.
This first p2p-youtube prototype I've seen:

ipfs, storj, sia ...
ipfs has been discussed quite a bit.
i think the idea is to have a decentralized approach to the hosting of the content (hence ipfs).
@complexring I envision the day, where say I want to buy a .jpeg file or some other low cost item, say 1U.S. Dollar or less...and I see your "Steemit Seller's Rep. Star" or something like what our posting blogging rep is now, and it is 5 out of 5 stars or 99.99% or sometype of scale as such. I have enough confidence that you will not tarnsih your hard earned "Steemit Sales Reputation" for a mere $1. I send you that $1 worth of STEEM, it's logged on the STEEM Blockchain. You send item, and everyone is Happy. I know about steemMarket or something. But that is not STEEMIT.
So same with the video. I am not sure or who or how or when, but If it is done, in my opinion, it would have to be done some how via STEEMIT. I just think people are hard headed and getting onto another platform will not be easy. My 2 cents any how, literally.
full $teem ahead!
@streetstyle
There's a fundamental difference between the decentralized storage of content and an interface to said medium.
I never said anything about having to not use the Steemit interface for viewing the jpeg you want to sell me.
It's a matter of understanding that various technologies already exist that accomplish what you are asking.
The important question is which ones are the most appropriate (in terms of ease of use, code merging, hiding details from the common person who doesn't care how content is stored or where but just wants to be able to see it on some interface -- maybe Steemit, maybe a dedicated site that offers additional features beyond what Steemit is for video content production) for integrated usage within the Steem ecosystem to make the process (appear) seamless to non-techies who just want to watch their videos.
Thanks @complexring . And I get it now... Steemit would just be the interface somehow, but of course logistics.
And it is knowledge like yours that makes you a BOSS and obviously a Whale.
full $teem ahead!
@streetstyle
I have been thinking the same thing, videos on the Steemit platform... Looks like we're not the only people thinking about it. OPPORTUNITY comes to mind... others see a problem, I see OPPORTUNITY.
@trendwizard . I agree that this will eventually be an opportunity. As @complexring was saying, STEEMIT will most likely be the interface for the video, but for now who knows what's in the works. Anyhow, stop by My Blog and checkout the madness I carry.
full $teem Ahead!
@streetstyle
The maintenance tasks might not make it worth the while though based on the current amount of people in charge
Probably when they have some form of advertising or major market adoption of steem. Video is a lot of storage and bandwidth and that doesn't come for free. Although there are some projects to try and leverage P2P blockchain technology to serve as a CDN though so maybe that will solve the issue.
@contentjunkie You're right that video hosting would be expensive and demanding on it's own, I can imagine trying to incorporate into a system like STEEMIT would be insane.
