I understand that, but I'd still prefer to upload on YouTube and have it automatically imported to Dtube.Network.

I believe I am not alone in that. IPFS might be the FUTURE, but in the PRESENT moment, and probably for a year (or so or more), content producers in general will prefer to upload to YouTube and automatically import to Dtube.Network as opposed to uploading on both or only uploading on Dtube.Network.

If Dtube.Network wants to attract content producers on a massive scale, this idea could potentially make it happen. People could essentially import all of their YouTube videos to Dtube.Network.

NOTE: Combined with @emaferice, we have filmed well over 1,000 videos in the last 10 years and successfully monetized most of them on YouTube + got views. I'd be interested in importing some of our videos and followers to Dtube.Network.

That's something that can be solved. But hosting 1000 videos isn't cheap. It either takes dedication of time or money or both. The idea around DTube is self hosting or community hosting as I'd like to call it. Maybe you would put thousands of hours of content on YouTube. YouTube has deep pockets to pay for cloud hosting. IPFS, while much more efficent. Still requires nodes to pin your file. Where does dtube get it's money? My point here is every single user needs to be encouraged to provide IPFS nodes asap. As their content wont sustain on it's own with out the entire community working together, helping each other host each other's content.

Okay. @gray00

My wife will be getting a Desktop computer soon so I might be able to provide a node. I am also open to buying other hardware that is cheaper in terms of electricity used to provide a node.

I just don't know the requirements or what to do. It would even be good if you let people import their YouTube videos and required them to host it or took a larger cut from their rewards (50% - 75%). Then people could choose the best option for them.

I hope you will make it easy for us to import videos from YouTube. I will use Dtube.Network either way but I will use it right away if I can import videos.

I don't maintain Dtube.network. I work with techcoderx to keep uploader.oneloved.tube online. We may have something like that in the future depending on the needs of creators (but we offer paid only plans).

Yeah, I remember @graylan.. and I am planning on buying a plan with OneLoveDtube to backup our videos.

I will wait for the price of Steem to move back to over $1.00 before I do that though, since all of my extra funds are going to buying more Steem right now.

On another note, my wife and I just got a Fiber Ineternet connection in our home and it only takes 6 to 10 minutes to upload a video now. So it looks like I won't need the YouTube Import feature after all.

how complicated the ipfs nod is? how much up speed is required (my adsl is really low in upspeeds and when upspeed is at full down speed is almost nonexistent) if you know could you share some kind of tutorial on it. thanks

It's not that complicated, similar to installing any other program with some small modifications. I will be working on a an app that makes it easy. Internet usage is not very much, just enough to download files and maintain P2P connections. I can definitely make or provide you a tutorial.
