Sorry for straying offtopic, but how can I build something like DTube on top of steem blockchain? Is it as simple as use steem api instead of a database to store the videos? Or is there something else I am missing?

Only text (JSON) is stored in the database/blockchain, a video file would be too big and exhaust your bandwidth really quickly. We use IPFS for the files (video, pictures) and we store the ipfs hashes for these content on the blockchain

Interesting. Was wondering the same thing :-) But how much capacity has IPFS?

Whoa cool. I didn't know about IPFS, so thanks about that. So the centralized version of this would be storing the videos in a seperate db and then store the ids of the videos in the blockchain?
