Dear STEEM community,
I am really excited to finally bring this project to the public. Introducing...
DTUBE.VIDEO
What is DTube?
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 as a database and enables earning rewards from your uploads.
This might ring a bell for those who remember the SteemQ project announcement, which made almost five thousand dollars in rewards, but never got released and ended up being rebranded - It's still not functional after more than a year, and even the current alpha uses a back-end server for everything and is therefore still centralized. I am sure I wasn't the only person disappointed by SteemQ.
I opted for a different approach. Build something first - talk after. If you are wondering, I did everything by myself (and the help of open source libraries of course) and it took about 4 months to reach what I have now, starting from scratch.
A huge part of this article will be technical and maybe not so interesting to some people, but I believe a big part of my followers are interested in this kind of discussions, so I will explain how it works. Sorry for the incoming walls of text :)
How to use DTube
Logging in
- Enter your STEEM username
- Enter your Private Posting Key, you can find it like so:
Multi-user login
Youtube and Facebook have this amazing feature that you can easily have multiple channels linked to your account and switch between them easily. I am sure I am not the only user on STEEM who owns multiple accounts, and having to use different browsers or bots to upvote with all accounts gets boring very quickly. On DTube, you can log in with as many accounts as you want, and switch between them.
I don't know why SteemIt still doesn't have this feature.
Settings
DTube features a settings menu accessible from anywhere in the app. It allows you to adjust your voting power, filter NSFW contents similarly to SteemIt.com, and tune the IPFS Settings. IPFS Gateway is where the files are loaded from, while the API is what we use for uploading.
Uploading
First, you need to be logged-in to be able to access the upload page.
Then just simply add a video, a snap (aka thumbnail), and finally fill the texts for the blockchain and submit!
If all goes well, you should be taken to your video after submitting and it should start playing the video between 0 and 30 seconds depending on the gateway and your connection speed.
Browsing Videos
There are currently 3 main ways to discover contents on DTube. You can go to the homepage and discover the NEW , HOT and TRENDING categories. They work the same as SteemIt.
You can access a certain user's channel by going directly to https://dtube.video/c/curator for my testing account for example.
Finally, you can use the search in the top bar, more information on that later in the article.
How DTube works
Using the STEEM Blockchain as a database
Any video uploaded on DTube becomes a STEEM content, that can earn rewards for 7 days. DTube doesn't use either the title or the body of a content to store information, therefore if you don't want your video upload to appear in your feed, you can edit or delete it, the video would stay intact on DTube. While it would be possible to display nothing on other platforms like steemit.com or busy.org, I believe the current behavior to be fine and will help the platform growth and the users rewards.
Using IPFS as a static file storage
Why not use Torrent then? Torrent arguably already has more content and is more mainstream. However, Torrent was not built for the web. Some implementations such as WebTorrent are trying to make it work, but it still requires some 'hybrid' clients that would act as bridges in order to transfer files from hard clients such as μTorrent to web clients that run in a browser. Not very convenient, even less efficient. I am sure a lot of you have used PopcornTime to watch some 'pirated' content and have enjoyed it, but building something similar that runs inside a browser without having to run hybrid clients to connect people, is sadly impossible.
IPFS is a younger, open-source, and actively developed protocol. It has a bright future ahead. Using it as the main mean of storage for this project was a no-brainer.
IPFS Storage Cost
IPFS is cool, but there is no magic. Someone needs to seed the files, and your browser cannot permanently store huge files (local storage is limited to 50MB on most browsers), so seeding through the app directly is not possible as of today. While my first idea was to ask some witnesses to run some IPFS nodes, it became clear after a few conversations that this would create more problems than solutions as most witnesses are non-technical persons and running and configuring an IPFS node correctly seems to be a tough challenge for most. I still believe this solution to be the right one, but I would clearly need to setup a docker or something easy for witnesses to actively join the DTube network and start seeding files (and earn a share of the rewards).
Instead, I searched for existing IPFS nodes and contacted the owner of IPFS Store, a website that allows you to pay in Bitcoin to keep your files on the IPFS network. After a few positive and instructional replies from @nannal (steem, twitter/etc), I knew I found my man.
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. Once this time is passed, users will need to either pay themselves (crypto accepted of course) to keep the files being seeded, or seed it themselves directly on their own PC and connection.
Design
Most developers know the saying 'do not reinvent the wheel'. The same applies to design and user experience. The leading video platform YouTube has been running successfully for years, and copying them makes sense. Especially when I am a sucker at front-end development and UI design. I tried to copy the look and feel of YouTube using the Semantic UI framework. While I am proud of what it looks like, I am sure some more talented people than me would slap me in the face for how bad it looks and plays.
I am very open to suggestions. Or if you are a web-designer, with a good portfolio, and Semantic UI experience, feel free to contact me on the steemit.chat.
Using AskSteem for Search
It might be hard for non-technical people to understand it, but the search is actually the toughest problem to make DTube a viable product. When you have a standard SQL or Mongo database, searching is easy. However here, our database is the STEEM blockchain, and we cannot search by communicating with a steem node directly. I understand that search is a low-priority feature for a blogging platform, especially when Google indexes every content and offers a search API. But for DTube, users will use it a lot.
I contacted @thekyle, a competent developer who posts on SteemIt but doesn't get half as much rewards as he deserves. He recently introduced AskSteem, a search engine for the STEEM blockchain. His service uses an ElasticSearch DB and will index new videos under 15 minutes.
His API was originally not enough for me to display certain information such as the video snap (thumbnail) in the search results, or else I would have needed to make one call for each search result, i.e. a lot of useless calls. @thekyle fulfilled my request to improve his API in under 24 hours, and allowed it to run smoothly as it should. ❤
Arguably, the search is not decentralized. Any search will go through the AskSteem server, search results could be altered, or the search could just stop working if @thekyle decides to close it.
A better solution would be to have a search function directly on the steem nodes. Another solution would be to have yet-another DHT network running inside the app, with a fuzzy search function. I have literally no idea if making a fuzzy search algorithm on a DHT network is possible without creating a point of failure, and I don't think anyone has an answer to this question on Earth. That's why I decided to make a compromise. We will see how it goes.
Permanently stored data
DTube will use your browser local storage to store a bit of information. First, it will store your user accounts and posting keys so that you don't have to relog every time. I suppose that won't shock anyone considering steemit.com does the same.
Secondly, DTube also stores your watched videos in order to display the 'Watch Again' category. Just like YouTube does it. You can notice that post rewards won't show for the Watch Again category, as these rewards can change at any point in time and it would be impossible to trust the data we stored a while back ago.
If you clean your browser sometimes, you will have to relog and your watched videos history will be cleaned, with no way to get them back. Just a friendly warning :)
Why can't I log in with my master password or active key?
Because it's a retarded thing to do. Steemit.com allows it solely because they also have a wallet in the app. XSS attacks are common on the internet, and most devs are rightfully paranoid about it. I would feel terrible if some users of my app lost their accounts and money because of me. Instead, it is much easier to force users to use the posting key and limit the risks.
DTube does not include any feature that requires anything else than the posting key. That means no wallet, no password reset, no internal market trading, no powering down, and way less work for me. If you want to manage your STEEM rewards, I invite you to use Vessel. And only use your posting key on any online platform such as steemit.com, busy.org, etc.
"What about SteemConnect??" I can see this as a comment below this article already. I am very aware of the SteemConnect project, that aims to provide an easy way for developers to enable STEEM login and key management. However, I am personally very much against delegating my keys or sending them to someone else to use, even if it's a trusted 3rd party ran officially by SteemIt Corp. Sorry but I like to remain in 100% control of my keys, and you should too. Remember all the people who cried on Reddit whenever an exchange got hacked? Don't be like them.
The case for user-side encoding
On YouTube, you upload your original file, and YouTube will encode your file and even convert it to multiple qualities, as well as create some fancy gif to preview the video on mouse hovering.
Achieving the same in DTube is hard. Encoding a video file in javascript is harder to code, and would always be slower. Bad
On top of that, if you want multiple quality files, then you would need to upload multiple files and multiply the time it takes to upload your video. Bad Bad
Finally, it would probably grow the total size of the DTube application quite a bit, and therefore increase the initial loading time. Bad Bad Bad
There are already countless programs that permit video encoding. And that would only be required to do for videos recorded with professional tools such as high-grade cameras. People who own this kind of hardware, usually already know about encoding. My personal smartphone already encodes every video in H.264, and I suppose your iPhone does the same. So why not keep it stupidly simple?
Easy to integrate for other platforms
Any other STEEM based platform can easily integrate videos posted on DTube. The video IPFS hash is stored inside the json_metadata of a post. Then it is as easy as doing
<video src='https://ipfs.io/ipfs/videohash'></video>
Known Issues
- No progress bar on the upload - github issue
- Avatars don't resize and load the full-size images - maybe solution
Missing features
- Reputation system
- Tags browsing
- Video suggestions (on the right of the video)
- Following Channels
- Custom Player
I believe the current state of the product to be viable, even without these missing features. I will add them, slowly. Also because I am unsure which of those is a priority right now, I will let you guys choose and argue about it in the comments!
App Dependencies
DTube is built with Meteor, and uses many open-source packages from NPM. DTube wouldn't exist without them, so they deserve some credits.
ipfs-api - Communication with the IPFS Network
SteemJS - Communicating with the STEEM Blockchain
autolinker - Adding links to descriptions / comments
moment - Displaying times
XSS - For displaying untrusted texts and preventing XSS attacks

Cross-links
I'm getting literally 0 traction for this article on other mainstream social networks despite the correlation with IPFS. Spare an upvote? Let's try to bring attention to the outside world.
Reddit
Hacker News
Last words
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.
OMFG YES!!!!!
I was super excited about "SteemQ" which turned out to be a big nothing. I am very excited to say I will be posting my YouTube videos on DTUBE!
This is great news, and perfect timing with the massive Google censorship occurring.
Thank you very much, I am happy to re-steem and upvote. I will try uploading some films this weekend on there.

Also, I could make DTube work without a domain exactly the same if I wanted. In fact, you can even CTRL+S the website , and run it from your desktop, I'm 100% it would work, except the upload because we limited it to the domain at the moment but it wouldn't be a problem to allow it

Normies get switched off when you put things like decentralised, STEEM and IPFS in the subject title. Concentrate on what it offers them - the user experience is what's important, not how it's done.
At the moment it offers more for creators than viewers, and that's only because they get paid. I've suggested some user end fixes in another reply here.
The main reason people will go to it is because content creators they like have uploaded on it. I've been plugging it today, to:
Styxhexenhammer666
Angry Pepe KNN network
Sargon of Akkad
Iconoclast
Black Pidgeon Speaks
Previously, I've also mention to Lauren Southern to get on to Steemit so I guess I'll msg Rebel media later with the DT message.
Please support my efforts and let your favourite content creators know that you want to see them get paid and that DT/Steemit could be the combination they are looking for, and that they would be supporting the work of taking decentralization and control away from legacy webapps
Any thumbs up for the work I've been doing promoting this (including spending my steemits on promotion) would be appreciated.

I was just wondering how to go about doing something like this. There are a number of youtubers (with large followings) that I enjoy, and they've all dropped the word "adpocalypse" at one point or another. So I'd image they're at least open to options. I'm just not sure how to put it in their face (i'm imagining the get a lot of messages regularly). Any advice?

I've just been posting to them either on twitter or in youtube comments, using steemit for steemit.com and dtube dot video.
The people get millions of interactions so you can't be sure they've actually seen your comment, so I've left it on many of their videos.
The only one I've had a response from is Angry Pepe from Kek News Network who said he'd check it out. But imagine if just a couple of them made the move - it would start an earthquake.
I check Dtube nearly everyday and have seen the @corbettreport and @x22report are on there/here.
It would help if once the names are on here, they spread the word too.
So basically, just keep plugging. Maybe have a notepad template that you can copy and paste - just don't do it excessively. I would say one per video, so you don't get accused of spam, and don't include links, youtube doesn't like that you might recommend a site they don't approve of, and I'm pretty sure they won't approve of Dtube.
If you have a youtube account maybe make a review video to post on there.
Simple stuff, just be careful not to get flagged for anything.

This is some really great work you put together here @heimindanger. were you planning on open sourcing it as well?

So you use a bunch of FOSS to make this thing, post about it on a FOSS platform but you have "no plans for open sourcing it yet"?
You might consider putting some thought into an open business model that works. There's nothing wrong with making money from your work, but if you deny users the Four Essential Freedoms https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html you've voluntarily reduced yourself to a modern/digital slave trader. I hope you're better than that.
Also, all of you windows/mac users who think this is just great: do you think you free yourself by going from one master(youtube) to another(DTube)? How do you think youtube started out? It too, was nice and friendly slaveware. Where did that get everybody?
Why not throw your weight behind LBRY https://lbry.io/ for instance. It's FOSS and respects your freedoms, even if it's the MIT variant and allows the type of leeching i'm complaining about with the current stance of Dtube.

Thanks a lot for the mean comment, I love to see people caring about open source. You know, I use Linux since I went to univ, try to do things open-source whenever I can, and I am a fanboy of Richard Stallman.
If I wanted to play on words, I'd tell you this is already open source. All the code is in the single .js file that your browser loads. Yeah sure it's minified and uglified so it's not really useful.
This is not truly open source, because of potential threats. Believe me I am not an enemy, but some people around here are. They would be quick to take the source code, and try to quickly copy it after a quick redesign, spend a couple grands on marketing and create some hype for their own wealth. At least this way, they have to spend some time to unminify the code before trying to understand it (and most likely fail at the task).
I don't want to spoil, but please give it a bit of time, I actually have a list of subjects I want to talk about this month, and open-source is one of them. It will probably be the last of the serie though.

I'm with cryptoreturn on this one - what are the potential threats? Unminifying the code - common editors can 'beautify' the code to make it more readable (it's built into Edge now), so the only thing being hidden are variable names.
Lbry is an existing platform, and openly accepts contributions - I don't see anything unique about this project, other than you're starting it yourself.

Could you at least maybe open source the front end design so we can spruce it up and maybe add suggestions. Then you can worry about the backend. Long-term I believe all of the code will be required by the community in order to trust it. There should also be a discussion of the auto tagging with the prefix of "dtube-". I'm not sure if this is the best route.

The tags I was unsure about how to do it. To make tag browsing possible. But I agree I wont make it this way and remove the annoying dtube- for tags.
The front-end is all there is. There is no back-end. I will open source it, give it time, and follow me on steemit :D

If they don't like the way you built DTube, then they should shut the hell up, stop complaining, and build their own god damn platform.

Hi there. When I try to play the DTube videos I've uploaded they won't play. Should I pay an IPFS static node to increase playback reliability or is there something else that I can do to help playback?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I of course know about the problem. It especially impacts newer, bigger-sized videos. Ive seen some videos taking up to 2 hours to being viewable.
Also at times it seems we just have not enough bandwidth with the current list of gateways as nothing is viewable.
DTube is decentralized, plans to stay like that. I am working on a solution for people to have a way to join the IPFS network and increase DTube's capacity. You can actually already do it by installing IPFS on your machine and running 'ipfs daemon' in the console then. Then go on dtube and activate the last gateway (127.0.0.1). Then all dtube files will load from your local IPFS node.
I will post more about it soon

Thanks! I can do this on my home system! I appreciate your feedback and hope to help DTube how I can, at least with content, but running a node would also help.

There is no server behind what you see, and your key stays on your PC and never goes through the wire. But if I was evil, I would be able to, let's say, send myself the posting keys of everyone who tried DTube so far?
What would I do with it? Upvote myself some more? Post shit content using your username? Meh, not interested. In any case, I am asking for posting key only so that risks are limited. If I was asking for password or active key, then you should beware, as I would be able to steal money.

Great news!
I have to mention, that one year ago, implementing Steem like nowadays with steemconnect, was not so easy, and platform didn't had so many tech people around to go more wide like we can do now. I'm supporting completely project!
If you want extra nodes, Steem Thailand can provide 1 or 2, Thailand based for this project. Also I would like to find few helpers about one project
SteemNOT - Steem NON-Official Trail
Wordpress based, java nodified, private section of Steem. Where posts can be private for only members of community (while on Steem you will asked for login), with perfect tinyMCE editor for STEEM ACCEPTABLE MARKUP only, private image galeries, uploads, etc...
It's not yet announced, we are still having problem of making SteemConnect to be able to link plugin with any user registered, and fuck off from WordPress database completely, but its gonna be sorted this month.
I'm saying this, because at the same time i would like to offer dtube.video to become part of SteemNOT.com aswell since we don't have Video uploads yet :)

Translate to indonesia :
Saya noted tulisan ini dan ini jadi kesimpulan :
Sementara saya pribadi percaya bahwa desentralisasi adalah masa depan, jangan sampai harapan Anda terlalu tinggi. Bersaing dengan YouTube adalah tugas berat yang tidak bisa dilakukan oleh satu orang. Maksud saya dengan proyek ini adalah untuk secara praktis mendemonstrasikan kemungkinan video terdesentralisasi di atas IPFS. Ini berhasil, tapi kita tidak tahu seberapa baik kerjanya dalam jangka panjang. YouTube juga memiliki banyak fitur tambahan yang membuat pengalaman menjadi lebih unggul. Apa yang saya bangun, mewakili mungkin 1% dari pekerjaan yang dibutuhkan untuk memiliki sesuatu yang dapat bersaing dengan YouTube. Saya membangun beberapa dinding, tapi tidak ada isolasi, atau lukisan, dan seluruh bangunan bisa runtuh setiap saat.

A lot of information to digest here. But this is a fantatstic idea. The length of time the videos will be held unto before needing be seeded by the users themselves presenta a learning curve for an average user with basic computer experience. There will definitely have to be some instructions upon their first inital file upload. To make it clear to them that it is something they can act on now by utilizing...so on and so forth. I just have a feeling that users will forget to take control of the seeding if their videos as soon as they can or they may very well lose the ability to display their content.

I could see a very common use case is that a Steem user wants to create a post, with a title, body, tags, and have the video be a part of the post.
With the current implementation, it sounds like the best way to do this is to upload the video via DTube, then create a separate post with the video URL imbedded. Is that correct?
Are there any plans to move towards more of a hybrid solution, where the post and video could be done as one? (Or does it already work that way?)

It already posts on steemit. It will use the video snap as the thumbnail in the steemit post.
The Dtube data is neither in the title or body, and at the moment it's just auto generated from the DTube title and description. Freshly uploaded example: https://steemit.com/dtube/@titusfrost/zor6jfr6
You can always edit on steemit after, it shouldn't affect the visibility on DTube. If you want your video to disappear from DTube you need to remove 'dtube' from the tags.

Hi!
Can you explain what is to keep a malicious player from utilizing people's private posting keys like that? I don't really feel comfortable just tossing that out and about, giving it away to anybody who asks for it. Isn't there a better, more secure way--like on Facebook, where I can grant permission to an app or service as well as revoke it later? I am uncertain how I would be able to revoke permission to your app once I've given it the master keys to my account castle.

This is what SteemConnect is trying to build I believe. At the moment unfortunatly, no other way around asking you for your private posting key.
But do not worry, your key never leaves your PC on DTube. It is never sent over the wire.

The result is simply stunning. I can't quite wrap my head around the future and present possibilities Dtube bring. Hat's off to your hard work.
All video posted on Dtube automatically becomes Steem posts, meaning these would received votes by bots just like regular posts?
Is there something to prevent people from uploading useless video in some sort of spamming attempt?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

They can try spamming, they content won't stay hosted on IPFS and the spam will disappear by itself.
Also we can just downvote and rekt their STEEM reputation.
And yeah... bots will upvote DTube videos as well. Not much I can do against that. Bots already rule the internet

I know most traffic are bots on the web.
But what if someone upload a video of 100MB and it owns nothing. What if a spammer tried this on a large scale, wouldn't it cost a problem? I'm guessing I'm missing something.

There is a mechanism on the blockchain where you can share rewards of a content with other users. We force this feature on our upload page. I wrote another tool before to do it yourself, you can try it there: https://steemwhales.com/post/ (also you can see the source code in the html)

Ok, understand thanks for the example. Where can I get an explanation of the methods that are available in steemjs ?
On Github its just listed: https://github.com/steemit/steem-js/tree/master/doc#content

you can find methods by exploring the steem object of steemjs, all reads are in api, all writes in broadcast.
To see the arguments passed to the blockchain, the best doc is this at the moment: https://steemit.github.io/steemit-docs/
The best way to do it in my opinion if you want to go in depth is to read the blockchain source source here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/27b7bdf04c3d195b97328bb20c27d659dc8ae31d/libraries/app/database_api.cpp#L1491

Ok so I gave it a try with a video I put up today and I have some feedback. The only annoying thing I think I saw was that all of my tags were renamed to having dtube- in it.
I am perfectly fine with you mandating that maybe 3 tags be dtube- related but I need at least two normal dtube tags on my posts so that people who use steemit normally can find my posts.
The decentralized thing is silly honestly. It does less than zero for the end user. Nobody fucking cares.
The best thing to do is charge people a flat 30% of profits made on the video. And if their videos fail to meet standards then lock out content posting privileges until they pay the difference.
5 USD worth of SBD or Steem a month to store their videos is actually perfectly fine. Seriously, You can probably charge 10 bucks a month for the right to host videos and be perfectly fine even with the 30% cut on top of that.
Stop making this some complicated decentralized mess. You are going to need some degree of moderation on the content posted no matter what you do. I see right now that there is a damn game of thrones episode posted. You are going to be hit with some serious lawsuits very soon if you don't clamp down on shit like that whether its decentralized or not.

The content on dtube is hosted on IPFS which is a protocol similar to bittorent. You can't sue a protocol. Dtube.video is doing nothing illegal, they are not hosting any content.

No file limitation. However the bandwidth on the IPFS gateways seems to be limited. I couldn't watch a 4K video uploaded earlier by someone else as a test, without some massive buffering. I have a shitty connection tho so that didn't help but I think nobody could watch it normally. 1080 or 720p should be fine

Well, this is a problem with the STEEM network. Each account has some bandwidth attributed to use on the blockchain. You can check your bandwidth on https://steemd.com/@somenathsen , it regenerates through time. DTube will use about the same amount of bandwidth than steemit, videos are on IPFS and don't count in the bandwidth hopefully, otherwise only the biggest whales would be able to post videos :D
