RE: The Free Market Has Spoken DTube Is Here! A Blockchain Solution To YouTube Censorship! (Interview With DTube's Creator)

[xyzashu]

Agreed! More over, Viewly developer has declared that Viewly will be kept free forever whereas dTube may charge about 25% in future. I love freebies more 😊

The 25% is to cover storage fees, and of course the owner should be able to make money on the project as well. Dtube is free to use, the 25% i taken from the votes, which I think is fair. As far as I understand you can not earn money on Viewly?

[xyzashu]

And do you think this one time fee of 25% will be enough to store all our videos for posterity?

BTW, Viewly is also coming up with some earning model for its users. I dunno how all these is going to work. Let's see.

[dieterschneider]

This is what the creator says:

I have recently created the @dtube account. This account will be used to collect 25% of the DTube author rewards. 10% of these fees will be used to pay for long-term storage of the files on IPFS Store. The rate is $0.044 per GB per month. So, for example, let's say you upload a 100MB video, that earns $10 rewards, then $0.25 will go to @nannal and ensure data redundancy for ~57 months.

agreed

[ura-soul]

Yes, that is a significant difference.. I don't yet know exactly how viewly intends to keep it all free.

[nantchev]

Your podcast will be uploaded onto here ;)

[ura-soul]

Aha! Good idea :)

[nantchev]

Forgot which episode it is and trying to upload my first video onto DTube, but it is slow upload... not sure why.

[ura-soul]

Oh ok, I haven't noticed any particular slowness with DTube uploads. What browser did you use?

[nantchev]

Google Chrome.

[ura-soul]

Ah ok, I have been using Firefox here - I'll test Chrome/Chromium next time.

[xyzashu]

Yes, that's a big and a very important question, I too wonder about. Only time will give some clarity over it. So I'm just waiting for the things to unfold. But for the time being, I'm happy that at least we have got two alternatives over this blockchain for videos.

I think in weeks to come we shall seen,what progress it gains.
