FullTimeGeek Talks About DTube, Steemit and SBDs

in dtube •  7 years ago 


This is my first DTube video! In this video I talk about the latest improvements done on DTube and SBD's insane price rise.

Here is a link to @heimindanger's blog talking about the latest DTube optimizations:

Welcome to DTube bro!

I need to do coding so I bought some brain power to do curation but I check all the votes. Also upvoting some myself directly when they miss something good. We are also building some bots to automatically detect youtube reposts / piracy / porn / nazis and eliminating those from the curated videos.

This delegation is mostly to support dtube financially (it should generate decent revenue for the team) - but we are gonna use it to promote the best contents we can. We want to bring a lot of medium sized YouTubers into the platform with their audience, and reward them with fat upvotes.

Well, if it isn't the man of the hour! First off, thank you for commenting on here and enlightening us with the current status of yourself and DTube.

I also had to choose between coding and curation and ended up doing the same as you. Curation is a lot of work and coding is more fun.

That is excellent news! The value you guys are adding to this community is immense with all your development work.

I'm sure Youtubers with start flocking over to DTube once the news reaches their ears. Dem fat upvotes are too tempting to pass up. lol

Cool, something with Steem? Any teasers?

You're the best @heimindanger!!

What does "eliminating them from the curated videos" mean? that videos will disappear from Dtube or just from the front trending page?

Would also be interesting to know what you mean by "Nazis"? I hope Dtube doesn't start censoring certain political opinions in the way Youtube does otherwise there's really no difference.

dtube seems to be going much more smooth for me. I remember i tried when it first came out and could barely watch anything, but i always thought it was my phone that was the problem. maybe i should start testing strenght with videos myself at some point, but i have a feeling i would be awkward on camera lol.

but i have a feeling i would be awkward on camera

Aren't we all to some degree? lol ... Def try it out though because it works very smoothly. I might have to make this into a daily thing. Everything about it was painless. The only thing that may be a stumbling block is providing the snapshot/thumbnail.

Hey!

Like @greenrun, i was having major issues a month or two back (mainly trying to watch @exyle's blogs) to the point where I gave up and was asking for a Youtube backup link, which he started supplying because other viewers were having issues too. In the past month though, DTube hasn't failed once so it looks like it's set to fly from here.

What would I like to see you vlog about? One thing I'd be super keen to listen to would be your thinking behind this mass delegation experiment you have kindly started. We've all had our shot at putting it into words, but it would be sweet to hear your thinking behind it.

I must admit to not catching a vlog of yours prior to today, so its good to put a moving and non-neon face to the @fulltimegeek.

Nice one, and eternal thanks for inviting me to become one of the Stewards. I put some additional stats together today and added a festive feel to proceedings - i hope that's cool by you!

Cheers!

Asher

I may need to change provider to see if It would remain the same.

Have you logged into DTube?

It could have been coincidence (because you aren't supposed to have to be logged in to see content), but since I did login things seem to be working much much better for me.

Thanks. It worked! I logged in and it played.

Excellent!

You know, I could be tempted to 'perform' a vlog at some point. Just need to overcome the feeling of talking to 'myself'!

@abh12345 It's easy, just picture your audience before you and act as thou they are there with you.

Thanks for the words of encouragement @samiwhyte.

I've forever struggled with an audience but with age comes worrying less about self - I'm sure it'll happen one day 😊

Yea, age makes a difference

You just have to pretend that the camera is your interviewer :)

yikes, is that going to help me I wonder!

We shall see!

YESSS!!!! I was wondering when you'd be making a video on DTube!! Glad you jumped in, the water is great hey?

I am super stoked on how well DTube is running now! Wow ... I thought I was excited for STEEM before but now I'm screaming it from the rooftops. I'm going to tell everybody I know to start vlogging on there. I will also be leaving a lot more comments on YouTube channels I watch and tell them to get on dtube.

That's great news, I know you'll be able to bring a lot of fine folks over, thank you!

I think I will apply your method too, dropping comments on YouTube will really bring many in

Good video to start on Dtube....

I always have a problem watching D.Tube. It could be my network, but I never have any problem watching Youtube. Like now this video just buffers endlessly. My network hates D.tube.

Hmmmm ... it could be your ISP blocking peer-to-peer connections like the ones used by torrents. I could be completely wrong on that of course. Or, perhaps the bandwidth required to stream the video is too demanding. Thanks for the feedback though. It's probably best to upload videos on both platforms for now ...

My ISP may be to blame, I think they may be blocking some sites as I stream HD videos in Vimeo and Youtube but anytime I try D.Tube I am forever stuck.

meep

Lyndsay has been telling me dtube got awesome!!! We just watched your video. I hope you don't make it a thing cause then you'll stop 😜

Well, if it isn't one of my newest recruits! Lol, I laughed quite a bit with your photoshop btw. haha

But, yes, Dtube did get awesome and I definitely won't stop vlogging anytime soon. This is a game changer!

I hope you'll do the same b/c the last video I saw of yours was hilarious.

I worked really hard on my face man. I used paint and it was a pain lol.

I just might start vlogging a little bit yes

Thx, dtube improved a lot since some months ago.. I always use it when posting a movie.

I made my first Dtube video sometime when Dtube was unstable.
I am impressed it is really clear now.

It is really getting hard to hit the 15k you are saying hahahaha.
Hope for the best though.

I've been very encouraged to see that I can not only get videos to play now on dtube, but very well, meaning no buffering etc.

Glad to see things getting ironed out!

Well its certainly a good video we should really enjoy the rise sir, your first dtube video was a blast

Thanks for watching!

I think that I should try recording here too. After watching your video I'm seriously curious about that

I think you should

I have never DTube before, I will start using it now and also invite others too, with great reward poll they will do well.

after this status now I am your usual fan

Good to see you back bustin out videos man!! 💪🏼🙌🏼🔥💯

SWEET! I am an active YouTuber and of course I tried D Tube when it first launched and it was horrible LOL! Now it seems to be running so I will start to put content up over there! Cool update, thanks.

@old-guy-photos
I will be looking out for your videos

DTube is finally there were I wanted it to be. I couldn't understand the hype at first but now it is deserved! This will hopefully grow into a Steem monster like Utopian which is now very likely with the new delegation. I hope they get more though because this is a killer feature of Steem now!

As you said: I am one of those now flocking to the platform and if things turn out nicely I will leave YouTube behind me.

@flauwy
I believe things will turn out nice and you will leave YouTube lol

That would be cool. I don't trust Google/YouTube even though I use it all the time. DTube and decentralization in general is the future!

Yeah, decentralizing is the future and Google/YouTube wont give us that
