RE: Introducing DTube: a decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS

[timcliff]

I could see a very common use case is that a Steem user wants to create a post, with a title, body, tags, and have the video be a part of the post.

With the current implementation, it sounds like the best way to do this is to upload the video via DTube, then create a separate post with the video URL imbedded. Is that correct?

Are there any plans to move towards more of a hybrid solution, where the post and video could be done as one? (Or does it already work that way?)

Hi!

Can you explain what is to keep a malicious player from utilizing people's private posting keys like that? I don't really feel comfortable just tossing that out and about, giving it away to anybody who asks for it. Isn't there a better, more secure way--like on Facebook, where I can grant permission to an app or service as well as revoke it later? I am uncertain how I would be able to revoke permission to your app once I've given it the master keys to my account castle.

The result is simply stunning. I can't quite wrap my head around the future and present possibilities Dtube bring. Hat's off to your hard work.

therefore if you don't want your video upload to appear in your feed, you can edit or delete it, the video would stay intact on DTube. While it would be possible to display nothing on other platforms like steemit.com or busy.org,

All video posted on Dtube automatically becomes Steem posts, meaning these would received votes by bots just like regular posts?

10% of these fees will be used to pay for long-term storage of the files on IPFS Store. The rate is $0.044 per GB per month. So, for example, let's say you upload a 100MB video, that earns $10 rewards, then $0.25 will go to @nannal and ensure data redundancy for ~57 months.

Is there something to prevent people from uploading useless video in some sort of spamming attempt?

I know most traffic are bots on the web.

But what if someone upload a video of 100MB and it owns nothing. What if a spammer tried this on a large scale, wouldn't it cost a problem? I'm guessing I'm missing something.
