RE: DTube - Is It OVER For YouTube? - A Decentralized Alternative Is Here! (DTube)

in #dtube8 years ago

I love DTube, yet I'd ask everyone to not be delusional.

I'm not criticizing, it's hard even for me to avoid delusions because it's just amazing that videos now are hosted on IPFS, too.

But this system has issues that prevents adoption of large masses:

  • Steemit registration is slowly accepted

  • some settings and setups are too technical for ordinary people to understand (e.g. you can't reset your pw, etc)

  • some videos are not "seeded" on IPFS

  • even those which are, are sometimes unavailable due to internal issues with IPFS.

  • and major bugs server-side, ofc.

It's just the beginning of a long path, and it was only a proof-of-concept originally, anyway. We should be patient and persistent.

Especially considering that the server code isn't even available yet. @heimindanger has life, too.
