Great interview, thanks! There's another similar service for Steemit being developed simultaneously called 'Viewly' too. I have been testing both here and they both work ok. Viewly is a bit more advanced and you can embed videos into steemit posts from viewly already. Here's an example video I uploaded, which is a talk I gave last year to software engineers and community builders about balance. Synchronistically, I actually addressed the issue of my own posts being censored on Youtube in that talk and a Google Engineer was present in the audience.. But his comments didn't make it to the video ;)

Agreed! More over, Viewly developer has declared that Viewly will be kept free forever whereas dTube may charge about 25% in future. I love freebies more 😊

The 25% is to cover storage fees, and of course the owner should be able to make money on the project as well. Dtube is free to use, the 25% i taken from the votes, which I think is fair. As far as I understand you can not earn money on Viewly?

And do you think this one time fee of 25% will be enough to store all our videos for posterity?

BTW, Viewly is also coming up with some earning model for its users. I dunno how all these is going to work. Let's see.

This is what the creator says:

I have recently created the @dtube account. This account will be used to collect 25% of the DTube author rewards. 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.

agreed

Yes, that is a significant difference.. I don't yet know exactly how viewly intends to keep it all free.

Your podcast will be uploaded onto here ;)

Aha! Good idea :)

Forgot which episode it is and trying to upload my first video onto DTube, but it is slow upload... not sure why.

Oh ok, I haven't noticed any particular slowness with DTube uploads. What browser did you use?

Google Chrome.

Yes, that's a big and a very important question, I too wonder about. Only time will give some clarity over it. So I'm just waiting for the things to unfold. But for the time being, I'm happy that at least we have got two alternatives over this blockchain for videos.

I think in weeks to come we shall seen,what progress it gains.

All I can find of Viewly is the usual prospectus for their service to hype the beta. I've tried over the past few days and get no connection to alpha.view.ly, let alone any content.

It looks like the viewly site is offline at the moment - at the time I posted the link it was functional.

Awesome post !!

Thanks for sharing this!

Great to see both platforms up and running. God willing they will destroy censorship riven YouTube. Long live free speech!

How my day is going.

  1. Wake up
  2. Went to school
  3. See her
  4. Run to her
  5. Kiss her

Actually the right order is
3 4 5 1 2

Fever dream.

I moved my videos to dtube. No reason to post on youtube anymore (maybe in the future if they become half as fair as steemit). The bugs will be fixed.

There will be an exception. MONETIZATION! If the rewards on DTube are like regular content, you will only earn for the first 7 days (the way I understand it). After that, nothing! At least on YouTube, I still have residual income for years after posting videos. Correct?

I feel the same way, but have yet to get any content uploaded.

A new money sharing video platform with No Big Brother U Tube controlling who's videos are being seen, and who's are not, or who gets what percent of advertising dollars. Sounds like a much Freer video site for what world individuals really want to show or see with up votes bringing the best to the top earning the best money while bringing a trickle-down to the most timely up voters.

I cant login into this dtube using my steemit account 😣

That makes two of us. Saying private posting key is wrong... but it isn't.

I discovered that when you go to your permissions page, the "private key" showing is not the real key. You need to click on the button to the right that says "Show Private Key" and use that key to log into DTube.

Three of us

Follow what retiredinsmar outlines. that is assuming you have gone to 'change password' -> 'permissions' first.
The password used to log into your Steemit account is different from password used to get into DTube

Excellent interview, guys.... Just a matter of time before the concept of the blockchain becomes absorbed into a variety of other technologies, to include forming a platform for anti-spyware/-malware/-virus programs, and into enterprise-level network-encryption software applications.

Good interview!!!

loved the interview, thanks so much for ur efforts and time

good post

Nice effort there, but loading is a bit slow.

Cool, I'll give it a shot.

It's a matter of time to know how much this tool will be adopted :)
