Viewly ICO Starting - Decentralized Youtube Made by Furion from STEEM!

why did he chose to create his own blockchain? I mean, he got thousands of dollars in upvote and then create his own blockchain with it? That's just sneaky in my opinion.

Steem is an amazing piece of technology, and I don't plan to stop contributing to its ecosystem anytime soon.

As far as Viewly goes, after consulting with several content creators (our main users), we determined that we need to implement different economic properties, which is forcing us to seek solutions outside of Steem.

@furion you could have made an SMT with all the "economic properties" you wanted.
by using a new blockchain you are basically shunning Steem or you've lost faith in it. lets be honest.
this is not good news for us steem holders to have a competitor arise from one of the steem developers.

furion (70) · 7 years ago

I am a Steem holder myself. I don't plan to abandon Steem anytime soon. Steemit has a fantastic team of talented engineers, an amazing community, a working product and plentiful resources.

Viewly isn't a competitor, rather, an experimental approach for a different medium.

He's not adding value to steem. Dtube is adding value to steem, not Viewly.

gliten (60) · 7 years ago

No he's not. How have things been going with Busy.org? What about the other so called projects running on the Steemit blockchain? I can't name any of them because no one uses them. No one uses them because if they want to use a STEEM-based application, they will use steem. Do you use Facebook? Firefox? Opera? Why would you use some weird third-party app made by some unknown coder when the real thing is readily available at the official home page?

People want standalone projects. When I hear announcements about new "projects" and apps and then find out that apparently they're running on the steem blockchain and thus aren't new projects at all, I simply stop reading and forget about them.

This on the other hand I got excited about since it's their own team, their own currency, their own plans and ideas. I tried DTube, but I realized it's the same thing as steemit on a different website which to be is just a form of additional marketing for steem. That is, it's still the same guys and authors being at the top, because it's steemit! Get it? There's little to zero difference.

Hey, if you want more advertising for steemit, then go do that. What I fail to fathom is why youre viewing new projects negatively. If you are that worried about steemit that when a big steem whale does a new project, you claim he's "lost faith in steem", then I think it would be a good idea to register another 10 websites that run on the steem blockchain that no one will use, but who perhaps will attract a couple dozen more people to use the ACTUAL steemit website which everyone uses.

I have read your Whitepaper and coincidentally have a similar idea , that i am trying to crowdfund, with no success (so by and in no way i am trying to advertise).
So i thought i just share my 2c in wrt business model maybe they will be of value to Viewly:

On pg.14, extending the Sponsor-Creator mechanic to Audience- Creator. There might be a market for on-demand content, where Creator opens a polling on content ideas to be produced in the next episode. The Audience vote-funds the ideas they like. All funds are held in smart contract. At the end of the polling period the winning idea's pledges are retained while the rest refunded. To claim the winning idea reward Creator has to publish the agreed content. If content is acceptable to the backer, then the Creator claims the tokens out of the contract. This mechanic allows Creator to cover production costs, while simultaneously drive community engagement.
pg 18: Investment returns I understand the purpose of the disclaimer. But why not have a build in dividend distribution plan? Afterall if all payments will be done in digital tokens with dividends distribution also disbursed in digital tokens, then your ERC token will be a pass-through security and the legal notion of "having a profit" will be further downstream.

Such dividend will add a great transparency to the digicashflow and allow for easier Valuation.

Speaking of which - it would surely be north of $400mln

sezycei (49) · 7 years ago

It's an obvious cash-grab. It's not about competing or not being able to develop this within the STEEM ecosystem; it's about making money off of an ICO that won't go anywhere after the devs have absconded with cash and there is a pump and dump operation for investors to make bank on.

There's literally no reason for this application to exist in a new token, and even less of a reason for an ICO.

NO ONE uses or even considers using third-party on-chain Steemit apps. Why the fuck are you grilling this guy for NOT creating another useless Steemit "app" website which NO ONE will ever use? You seem mean. How's Busy.org doing? You've probably never even heard of it...

Do you download third-party versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Facebook or Skype to your computer?

Are you mad?

burtybasset (37) · 7 years ago

To be fair, the more competition out there the better I say! And it doesn't have to be a full on competition, creators can create content or host the same content on multiple platforms for the most exposure. Everyone wins. If one of these technologies happens to come out on top, then they are simply doing the best job.

Also if certain platforms are censoring people, there will be others that will gladly mop up that bit of the marketplace and let the audience decide for themselves. Having multiple platforms instead of a monopoly will keep them honest, catering to the market and not the regulators.

With the censorship and demonetization that is currently taking place on YouTube, I can see a great future for blockchain-based, censorship-free video platforms. But I still can't understand the concept of viewers depositing their crypto on these platforms to reward content creators.

Steemit works because Steemians can rewards others without incurring an expense!! Big difference right there.

well if you put it like that then i have to accept to certain extent that its possible. The other thing to remember is that this is on blockchain so its transparent, if you don't follow the guidelines or rules stipulated and may be just go crazy and do things your way while offending others then you will get suspended. What you tube/google does is a form of bullying individuals and they are authoritarian about it and i think a lot out there find it unacceptable

Thugs always find a way to camouflage themselves. It is time to invent smart rules and regulations.

The thing about moving from a centralized economy to a decentralized one is, only the rich can make money.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? Because the way I see this going is, only the rich can afford to invest money on ICOs hence ensuring their participation in the future economy, while the poor and middle class will remain out of this economy in the beginning, and by the time they join, everyone else would already have made money.

Technology and communication have become so advanced and quick globally where humanity can experience new themes of rules and systems. We invented smart technology in every field and it is not stopping any time soon. It is time to invent smart rules and regulations. What I mean by that is self aware regulations or I like to call it, living regulations that has its own conscious. I will give an example. Tens of years ago some organizations, companies and political parties had been established. Some lasted for few years some for few decades and some still exist today. The survivals have one thing in common; the ability to adapt and change to a degree was not imaginable by the founding peoples of that organization or company who have died long time ago. Survival entities have some intelligent and flexible rules that allowed for gradual change for the benefit of itself.

Etherium's smart contract is currently the most reliable method to distribute tokens from an ICO fund raiser. The smart contract is set up to distribute the exact number of tokens that the rules specify, including any bonuses for amount contributed or how early one contributes.

Steem will soon have an alternative method to achieve the same ends with SMTs.

Very happy this exists; the more decentralized competition we can provide to the centralized ones, the better.

However, I would have loved it more if it used the STEEM blockchain rather than an independent one, as now it's in direct competition with DTube (a steem-based decentalized YouTube). The recent announcement of Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) makes it even easier for you to build on top of STEEM.
