Wait a minute, dtube is leaving steem in a very fundamental way: going forward dtube users will not need a steem account and the token economics will not be mediated by the steem blockchain...I would say that counts as leaving. You can retain the functionality of posting links to steem (which is fine) but how is that going to contribute in creating demand for steem?
This is Dlive all over again (although a soft version of it). Think about it, they had a huge delegation of steem that was used to cover their costs and now they will operate with their own blockchain. I for one will not applaud this. In fact I am going to stop voting on any content that is posted to dtube so that no beneficiary rewards accrue in dtube's favor.
Glad I not the only one who was thinking this. It a great idea but I confused on how other than the token support its good for steem. The token and accounts are in its own chain not even a sidechain.
And while it allows for Steem and other token to be monetized using scotube, dtube itseld doesn't need steem?
I love to see another prospective of this.
It is easier to onboard people onto the Dtube chain. Those users can then eventually make steem accounts with the steem earned.
It's also just better for users, which is never a bad thing.
How does a sidechain help steem anyway, other than make steem power needed for bandwidth.
They don't earn steem? They earn dtube coins....
You mean sell dtube for steem-hopefully... If anything they'll sell for Usd,btc or eth....
It great for users(hopefully) but it that all it good for steem?
The sidechain helps bridge steem accounts keeping one account. Allows for it to scale vs mainchian. It helps give steem more use and in the ecosystem more. And the RC thing is a big if steem is going to do the backend as a steem app platform...
Dtube has large stake (delegation), so they can convert RC into free accounts and sell for DTC (which they have said they might do).
So they become an steem account seller?
I guess that cool but that a pretty limited thing.
Delegation that were given to encourage steem users to use a decetralized video network are now used to create a steem accounts. Well I guess I can't ask for more. I assume this was a better than dlive move as it was more open?
