Great news! The Steem-Engine and D.Tube teams are partnering up to bring you ScotTube!
What's Scot, Scotbot and ScotTube?
Scot is a smart contract organizational token. You can use the word "Scot" like the word coin or token, but it's specific to living on the steem-engine platform.
Scotbot is a voting program that allows us to distribute rewards through proof-of-brain similar to how steem distributes rewards, but now the settings are customizable and it's your Scot.
You can see those rewards displayed on sites like Nitrous, an enhanced fork of condenser where content discovery and rewards are powered by your own Scot token, on your own domain name.
We're working on ScotTube, something similar to Nitrous, but now focused on video through partnering with D.Tube. So, you post videos up and they get rewarded in Steem and your Scot. ScotTube displays rewards on your custom site in your custom Scot!
Why does this matter?
There's really only going to be a handful of winners for who gets to show videos of everything to everyone, but for the rest of us there's going to be a need to have curated content. You just want to watch cooking shows? Make a ScotTube that focuses on that. Want one for a particular game? Make a video channel just for the game.
Curated content is the future. The internet has everything, but it's too much of a pain to search. Get content that's focused, good, and curated in one place and the internet will reward you for it.
How will it work?
Pricing hasn't and isn't being announced publicly right now, but Scot and Scotbot are moving from monthly payments to staked eng requirements. Having an instance of ScotTube will increase how much eng you have to have staked, but won't cost anything beyond owning (or renting delegated) stake.
We're getting the details worked out now
In the end there will be a form on the steem-engine launch site to make your Scot, Scotbot instance, and choose how many different UIs (Nitrous, ScotTube, others) you want to be able to display your scot rewards through. ScotTube will be one such option and we're stoked to bring it to the public soon!
My cryptobody is tingling! Been loving steem engine ever since it got launched.

It's nice to read all this!
We are so excited to start with Scotbot + ScotTube!
We have raised the necessary funds, so let's get ready to go!
@aggroed,
I like this plan, but I feel like you guys are planning to go for a separate chain in future :/ I don't know why I have this feeling, but I have it now! Anyway wish you all the best!
Cheers~
Sometimes I feel the same way🤔🤔

Awesome, looking forward to this! I guess I should hang on to my ENG :)
IPFS + Steem-Engine is a great idea. I'm always interested, 24/7 ... to support IPFS developments
Incredible at what pace you throwing out new stuff. You clearly want to show Steemit how it's been done. What a joy to experience in action.
Sounds pretty awesome, I keep hearing about having to stake this stuff but I am not clean as to how or what is required to do so? I do stake POS coins myself but this seems like something else are there directions on this please?
steem-engine.com
wallet
I bet you can get it from there.
aggwoed im havin an argument with @swapsteem about how much POW is actually involved, when you mentioned this about cpu gpu and asics
what was this about? is it liek Virtual mining? is it actually going to let you use your cpu in a limited way that doenst consume the power but checks to see if you have it? or is it just called CPU, GPU, and ASIC as a pure marketing ploy to simply represent three "tiers" of "mining" ? :D Im guessing no POW mining at all?
No POW at all
Steem Engine Team is on fire 🔥
GOING UP! Keeps getting better for the People BY THE PEOPLE!

Are we excited? Yes... we are! 😱👌🔜
Love the concept, though Scottube doesn't really roll off the tongue very well if I'm being honest. To make it worse, in the US we have Scott toilet paper, and toilet paper tubes, so that what's being conjured in my mind.
Alright, I'm sold. Gonna start mining ENG.
Wow! great news, we are awaiting further information. Love the name ScotTube.
i am just lost, but i am most probably not smart enough for this.
You're not the only one, hehe.
And they said that steem is complicated for the masses.
Mass adoption?
No way.
Check appics. Even worse.
from what i got with appics you as a user don't really have to do anything, but it looks complicated.
this needs to be in simple words. what will scot do, how will we use it, why is scottube similar to an anaesthetic?
why would i want to have scottube, and what stake do i need.
Maybe it is for the crypto tech guys/gals. and i am fascinated how everyone in the comments is overwhelmed and everything is clear for them. good for you people, good for you.
Or maybe it's to complicated just for guys from Balkan like us, he he.
i am still writing post on this so it is great that i am even able to post

It's very hard to stay on top of all developments here on Steem, so much is happening all the time, this is a great one, thanks.

Awesome news! I'm so excited to follow along with steem-engine team's amazing developments!
I hope ScotTube will be less janky than d.tube is currently. Videos often lag & refuse to play back for me.
3Speak works great so far, though! [ not sure what their secret is ]
