Edit: sorry to be a complainer.
Ok, so there is a three hour long video and another hour long video, so all those who are voting now, I'm sure you've watched both of those right? (This comment was made when the post was 22 minutes old, and it was already voted to about $30)
People can upvote whatever they want, there's no rules that they have to watch 4 hours of video then upvote. @neoxian you complained when you could have watched 22 minutes of the video or do something else.
They can upvote whatever they want, and I'm free to complain about it. Isn't freedom grand?
Why don't you try and work hard to make $30 instead of complaining hes making more than you. Isn't working grand
I'll have you know I do work hard, and I make pretty good money. Why are you making this about me? And I've even made good money here, without the benefit of whale bots voting me up automatically.
@bola i agree with you 100%
He means work hard on Steemit. And if you saw my previous post then you'd know why Ceptr might be interesting to some people. Whether it's bots voting or people, the fact is that whales have limited attention. At the same time, watch the videos because it's certainly valuable content.
Actually @neoxian has more Steem Power than I have, yet lower reputation? How does that happen?
The point is nothing is helped by complaining about how people digest posts. It's only a valid complaint if the voters never watch the video and blindly vote it up, but the bots who curate are betting that the minnows, dolphins and other whales will watch the videos and vote it up.
As far as voting earlier than 30 mins in, it might not be the most profitable way to vote but there is no reasonable way for whales to digest and curate content before each vote unless the content is dramatically simplified, which would be the equivalent to making this place like Twitter or something similar where posts have to be made short.
But then there is a problem because some content is complex, some topics take an hour, or several hours to explain, and how do we discuss that content if every voter is required to spend the time to review it prior to voting? Maybe the 24 hour voting period makes this possible but you forget it's a competition to upvote first.
No, I upvoted because I'm interested in Ceptr, and I'm glad there is at least one Steemian who posts interesting, well written and thought-provoking articles about computer-science subjects. @dana-edwards has also covered Tau and Tezos which are, again, very unique and sadly little recognized projects with far reaching implications.
You can see it the same way as magazines. Do you spend one hour standing at the bookshop and pay your magazines and books only once you are done reading them? Have you never subscribed to a periodic magazine because you found that the quality was consistently good and you could trust them to keep writing good content?
Well it's the same here, I pretty much upvote everything @dana-edwards publishes right off the bat when I see the post because I know it's going to be good content. So far I haven't been disappointed a single time. If this blog was a computer science and philosophy magazine I'd probably take a subscription.
Now let me finish that video quietly please
I guess they are watching both videos at the same time on speed 2 so it's understandable.
good point. It's proving to be an interesting video though.
Could someone post a "too-long didn't watch" summary for me?
Well now I don't wanna be funny or something like that but here are summaries from youtube videos that briefly explains the matter, it's not enough to explain what is in the videos since no one has time to watch this.
"Ceptr is a biomimetic protocol for distributed processing that goes beyond blockchain in its approach to decentralization and scalability. The MetaCurrency Project has invested the last 5 years in developing Ceptr, a rebuild of much of the computing stack optimized for decentralized sense-making, computation, and composability. This means semantics baked into the lowest levels of memory storage, self-describing protocols which let anything talk with anything else, and blockchain-like abilities for decentralized data storage and computation:
Our approach addresses many issues people are tackling in a variety of projects (web of trust, blockchain, semantic web, decentralized applications, federated identity, ease of interoperability, rapid code evolution with massive reuse, mesh networks, etc.) through a unified approach. Applications in Ceptr will be able to be developed faster, easier, and should significantly outperform projects which have been cobbled together from more traditional tools."
Below this is presentation used in the first video that takes 5-10 minutes to go through but is not easily understandable without watching video (at least for me).

That's a deep-dive video. Here's a link to an introduction the platform: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Line362Wm0zMOZcEZMqPYfHqNS4XIVyVsP7SS_4jE2o
