Hey STEEMIT,big hello from Croatia!
What do you think about your own original STEEMIT player?
Something like this for example( I just put a title STEEMIT on pic found on internet)
Let say I ( We ) have a cool story and video behind it and I want to publish it on STEEMIT?
There is no original STEEMIT player.
All these videos on STEEMIT are linked to YOUTUBE.
If YOUTUBE remove my video it is not on STEEMIT ANYMORE.
If STEEMIT is future blockchain project,it should not depend on YOUTUBE this way.
I( We ) want my videos to stay on STEEMIT and only STEEMIT.
I ( We ) dont want to link my videos to YOUTUBE.
In the roadmap they will be connecting to the InterPlanetaryFileSystem (IPFS). I imagine they will be moving all the posting data off to this blockchain. You can't store images either. You have to store your images someplace else for now. With the IPFS it should be more manageable.
It sounds great, but I don't know the technical details of storing such content in the blockchain. Maybe we start from that angle first.
Using other open source project is actually encouraged, and personally I don't think YouTube is going anywhere any soon. :)
Making video and even photos storable on blockchain will take an ennormous amount memory...
"Decent" is an upcoming blockchain project that is trying to tackle this issue with a content distribution platform. Kindof like Steemit here, but more like a YouTube type platform. its a few months off from beta stage, but if they make it happen, It's open source so I'm sure steemit could use the tech if it actually works.
