in #dlive7 years ago (edited)

Hi there,

After a month of development and an alpha test, we are happy to bring DLive to the public and show you how to use it ( https://www.dlive.io ). We recommend Chrome as the test field.

What is DLive?

DLive is the first decentralized video live streaming platform on Steem! It can be seen as the Twitch on the Steem blockchain including, but not limited to, gaming contents. You can learn more through this link: https://steemit.com/dlive/@dlive/dlive-the-first-decentralized-live-streaming-platform-on-steem

@dlive Finally! This is some great news for the Youtube/Twitch gaming community! They will absolutely love the idea of being able to upload and stream their content on a decentralized platform like Steemit.
Do you have any plans on marketing the platform to those target markets? And do you plan on having an SMT set up so that Steemians can invest in your project?

Also, on another note, do you think that Steemit as a platform and Dlive may be at risk and targeted by the new FCC regulations as Net Neutrality is on the way of being repealed?

Thank you for your support! We are still super early and busy fixing bugs. All your questions are very interesting and we will take some time to think about them after we finish up the next upgrade of DLive.

Awesome for the twitch/youtube community for sure, I can def see a switch of users for uploads and great gameplay. Imagine a top streamer coming on board to the community. #STAYGREEN Great things to come, and glad im here to be apart of it.

Ill be doing live roleplaying and streaming live on GTA RP, PUBG, & other games at request. Be sure to check me out sometime.

Oh My my My Gif.gif

hey ! this is Waleed abbas i want to know about this product. first of all i would like to appreciate the effort. please let me know if i can use it with live Chroma or green screen setup.

love the idea .. but is it going to beat the heat of steem ?

Not sure what you mean. Steem has not been appreciating as much as all the other altcoins out there. That does not mean that we do not see HUGE value in it. I think that Steem is one of those tokens that is VERY under priced by the market.

To be honest I just recently found out about Steem and did not really think about it as an actual currency.

I think of it more as a participation token which allows you to use this wonderful platform as well as to participate in its growth :)

this is the same case with me i was also wondering !!

That's the good part.

as long as Steem keeps printing coins, hard to say its considered under valued

But all coins are being printed until their caps are reached...

And until they hit this hard cap its hard to says its undervalued

We need a a lot of inflation. This engages writers to keep writing.

steem is overpriced as per economic standards .. its just getiing ssssteeem

I certainly can appreciate your point of view. As the joke goes, our opinion on the price/value of anything is dependent on if we are buying or selling it ;)

I also think that all these new projects being built on top of Steem are only adding value to the token, similar to how ICOs of ERC-20 tokens add value to Ethereum.

I'm new here but i totally agree, a few week ago a heard about steemit and didn't give it much thought. Today finally got into it and i learned that there is d.tube, steepshot and now dlive. All of this with the same account. I love it !

Right on! Steemit is becoming a portal/platform for so many more things! Love it!

I agree @ebargains soon Steemit will become a huge platform for many things.... i am excited for that....

yes I also like this new beta version of the dlive. I heard about this. Nice version. Best video sharing platform.

thanks for support . new wisher of you .

Great initiative I must say. I'm especially happy with the way all these is being built on the steem blockchain. STEEM value is sure gonna blow with this new dawn and we'll all be better for it.

I'm definitely checking out DLive.

Right, it's a wonderful currency, everyone is talking about it, I think it will know a big explosion
Finally, thank you for sharing the information

@jonle1

1nice information, thanks for this

Can you upload to dlive from a mobile device eg android platform?
Dtube wouldn't let me. And when it did let me the damn video didn't play. I don't want to sign up and waste my time again. And anogher question is it secure to give them our master password?
Makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

did you get the answer?

I know right! Im happy about it :)

Excellent work, Guys! I can't wait to try it out!

Awesome initiative! Can't wait to see you replace twitch ;) Resteemed for support.

Oh yeah!!!!! let's take YouTube Down!!!

Nicely said! My sentiments exactly!

And bring the content creators and viewers Up!

This is awesome!
I've been going around from streamers to streamers who I know got banned from Twitch or demonetized on YouTube, but who have an audience and told them about DLive. Will be awesome if they now have something to try out immediately :)

Keep it up!

ufff...nice...I 'm going to try this soon

The snowball starts rolling down the slope. Steem to take off to 10$ in the next few month!

And....as a side benefit.....this new platform could kick YouTube right in the crotch!

Let's hope so! That would be the best thing in the world right now!!!

Yes, I'm in full HODL mode right now. Steem is really the most undervalued coin.

Amazing idea and Steem is an excellent blockchain to build this on!

I could see a 50x on steem price because of the project like this... followed and upvoted
