Description: Join my in New York on the 24th nac3.io DTube and Steemit are both decentralized apps (Dapps) Dtube is an application fully written in javascript, that runs in the browser, that allows you to upload and watch videos on top of the IPFS Network. Moreover, it uses STEEM (3 second block time) as a database and enables earning rewards from your uploads. reddit.com/r/dtube Compare content creators vs ad platforms Facebook/Youtube/Cable TV = Ad platform Netflix = Video platform/content creator Original release notes from developer steemit.com/video/@heimindanger/introducing-dtube-a-decentralized-video-platform-using-steem-and-ipfs While I personally believe that decentralization is the future, don't get your hopes too high yet. Competing with YouTube is an heavy task that cannot be done by one man. My intent with this project was to practically demonstrate the possibility of decentralized video on top of IPFS. It works, but we don't know how well it will work in the long-term. YouTube also has a lot of extra features that makes the experience superior. What I built, represents maybe 1% of the work required to have something that can compete with YouTube. I built some walls, but there is no insulation, or painting, and the whole building might collapse at any time. Please note that DTube is in an early stage of development, don't think everything will work fine all of the time, but it does most of the time.
