I had a question, so when the new token is released for Dtube does that mean Dtube will be separate from steemit? Because that is what I want, I dont want videos on my steemit feed I want a separate website for decentralized videos...
Also I want to suggest with the new token to get people all around the world involved by paying them to host via torrent or whatever method. So people can host their own videos and others videos, and depending on how much upvotes the video gets part of that reward goes to the people hosting depending on how much bandwidth they supplied to the network. This would be similar to cryptocurrency stacking/mining except your serving video files to users.
Also I would like to suggest you allow users to create advertisement videos which would appear before videos (just like youtube). So the user who owns a video could agree or disagree if they want a particular ad to appear before their video. And the user who created the advertisement would have to prepay with whatever token you created for x number of views. This would basically create a perpetual stream of funding and would not just depend on the 7 day payout like steemit currently has because you can place an advertisement on any video no matter how old it is.
I think this would create a truly decentralized video platform that everyone would be willing to participate in. Because you would create an economically viable currency flow between user, content creators, content hosts, and advertisers.
The only issues that might arise are copyright problems, but that would not be an issue of the website since it would be completely decentralized, copyright holders would have to go after individual users who create/upload copyrighted content. You could just create a flag like steemit has to hide copyright content if most users choose to downvote it...
Anyway that is just some ideas I had, Thanks.
