RE: Steemit post damaged by removed google account again aka distributed youtube wanted!

in #censorship7 years ago

That's a big fix.

I'm currently involved in a network upgrade project and the installation alone of redundant core switches & associated routing equipment is $16,000 - not including the equipment; one (near) fully populated core switch is at least $12,000 by itself, then there's distribution switches and routers etc, plus racks/cabinets, redundant power supplies, SFP modules & fibre runs, the list goes on.

This is for a fairly limited scope network in a private local loop that's contained within a private infrastructure environment.

Storing 1min HD video every 1sec and serving thousands of mins HD video every 1sec in anything approaching user expectations requires significant provisions and maintenance, particularly when surge capacity, attack, and failure must all be accommodated.

I believe it could be done, but the capital outlay would require total monetisation of all steemit content, unless SBD is $3k, and vendors happily accept crypto as payment :D

Sort:  

When there is profitable business model set, millions from investors will come. Then it will be very tempting for big investors because it's well-known that internet-business can be very profitable. However to find proper monetization model is necessary. So far Steemit still doesn't have any.

So far

Correct, for now ;)
