Great song, and a great product. Keep this up and the age of YouTube will be over. That being said, you guys really gotta change the name. All my friends think it's a porn site and they're immediately turned off to it even after you explain it to them because it just sounds "shady". Just some constructive criticism, because I want this to take over.
I mean there is a dporn. Like, wouldn't they be more turned off by that?
..or maybe they'd be turned on by it.
Don't even recommend at this point.
People should learn the meanining and significance of "D as Decentralized".
You have a lot of work cut out for you if you think that you can somehow create a strong association between the letter d and the word decentralized in peoples mind. Especially because regular people barely ever use the word decentralized outside of the crypto world. And of course most people don't give a shit if something is decentralized or not.
You summarized quite literally everything I consider necessary to be changed. Not only for the sake of some insignificant association, but for the sake of another mindset presented in society as a whole.
It's a long-term change, but most of changes related to decentralization, blockchain, and the related ideas are.
You're right, we want the D to be on everyone's minds. The D needs to penetrate the culture so we can point out how flimsy the centralist's arguments are, and give em a rock solid business plan that shows how much harder we go than the competition. Changing the association of D is just the tip of what we want to do - just think of the position we'll be in when we can seamlessly get in and out of the banking system. The competition is totally fucked!
Make the D great again xD
Before Decentralized was a thing, we had the fun lovin' criminals... (start at 1:37)
@dporn is real.
@heimindanger, I do have a dbugging problem with the content library on my account. I should have over 45 videos there but only 16 are now showing there. They show in my Steemit stream just not on my DTube content page. Was hoping to create an important geopolitical video archive but now am worried it may not be possible. Any idea what may be going on there? Possible bug in the system? Best regards.
Uhm, videos dont stay online for long unless they have sufficient amount of likes. On dtube, they take a share. From this share theyll host your videos for 4.4 cent per month and gigabyte.
If you want to keep them available without sufficient revenue, some node has to pin the files.
Thanks for the response. I was under the impression that it was after 4 years that a user had to pay for continued hosting on the blockchain. Do you know how I get a node to pin the files? Thanks for any other answers. Kind regards.
The video isnt on the blockchain, what is on the blockchain is a reference to the video which is hosted in the IPFS network.
Im going to set up an old PC as IPFS node this week.
In the following video, they show how you add something to the IPFS network (in this case meant to avoid dealing with the slow dtube uploader):
To do that, you have to run the IPFS daemon in the first place. If you keep that PC and the IPFS daemon running, you can then in a command prompt seperate to that in which you run ipfs daemon while its running (and it needs to keep running as long as you want to share it) "ipfs pin add (hash of your file)" and "ipfs dht provide (hash)" for each file you want to keep sharing via your node.
Other IPFS nodes buffer and distribute it, so your internet connection isnt as much as a bottleneck as one might think.
There is also talk of a cryptocurrency called filecoin related to hosting files, im interested but dont yet know much about it.
Thank you for your very informative answers to my questions. I really appreciate it. I think I have misunderstood the concept all along and I appreciate you helping clear it up. Kind regards.
