RE: D.Tube 0.5: Big Optimizations
That is quite a list of improvements and I am really stoked. I know this is a complicated project that is not easy but it really is something the internet needs to break the YouTube monopoly on video content.
I am one of the people that migrated from YouTube due to their censorship. Although I will still post the occasional video to Youtube at some point as Dtube continues to improve I may completely abandon it.
Thanks for all the hard work @heimindanger ! (And team)
Hi, I just testet d.tube with a small music-video (not my content), and I have a question depending on that. I don't want to hurt the original creators of music, but I want to "remember" very good classics from 20 years ago or older. I know that the video quality can not compete with todays music-videos, but there was a lot of good music bevore MTV was life :-) .... now my question: Is there any limitation/regulation/possibility inside d.tube to upload and share such content without hessations? Can I go for it? Or would this be a NOGO?
Even if D.Tube does not regulate content and you might get away with it, just don't do it! (Unless you have the content owner's permission, then by all means go ahead)
I am aware what DRM means and what the author rights are, but isn't it possible to find a way within the blockchain to contribute both - the author and the admirer of a great pice of art (not every music is art to everyones ears, but still it is art) .... the "test"-post I selected was from an artist who is not alive anymore, but the rights to publish his great work (with or without altering) are 70years prohibited. This is way to long in my opinion
I hope there will be a way to reward both producers and distributors in the future. It was actually this very idea which brought me to Steemit in the first place. I really liked the idea that you could share other users' content on your own blog in a legit way with the rewards being split. Unfortunately this only works if the content creator used Steemit in the first place, but I hope that after a while, Steemit will grow enough to establish a new standard in value distribution for content. Oh, and I do agree that the 70 year limit is really long;)
"this is way too long in my opinion" - @cryptomum
yeah, welcome to the club. We can thank Walt Disney for that!
I'm currently considering using D.Tube in addition to my YouTube channel, but today when I tried to upload my first video the upload failed after about 50%, so it's not exactly off to a good start. I haven't given up on the idea though, so I will try again in a week or so.
That happens to me too. It gets frustrating but hopefully it will get better with more updates.
Yeah, the story of my Dtube life lol. I tried countless times to upload. It seems to jam at like 90% for me. However, I am very happy about the new improvements. Thank you for all your work @heimindanger
It has happened to me also but some hiccups are to be expected on new technology like this. I'm not sure if it is more problematic at certain times of the day.
I uploaded today and I have to say the improvements are a great step in the right direction. A lot more user friendly and I didn't have to go back into my steemit post to re-edit it. If the improvements continue at this pace in a couple years Dtube will be a very competitive platform.
Mine upload ok but viewing them is stuck sometimes ... but that's maybe because of my crappy connection sometimes :)
most of the errors are because of the snaps. Use the app Photo & Picture Resizer to crop your snaps by 40%, that should solve 90% of your upload problems. give it a try if you like, i've already uploaded 10 episodes with no problems what so ever after using that app :)
I always resize no my HD video snaps to 750px width, that works.
This platform is going to DIE. They are allowing full movies and pirated videos up there and these assholes ar making money off it. No chance in hell it will go anywhere if they allow this trend. Pathetic!
I don't agree with you on that for certain reasons.
Dtube started not so long ago unlike Youtube that's been around like forever.
The developers of dtube are on a constant grind to make the platform better and they are doing a really great job in that aspect.
Rome wasn't built in a day, hence, come back in a few years time to say something like this, one thing I'm very sure of though, in a few years time dtube would have grown so much that you won't have the chance to say something like this. Thanks, God bless
The community needs to police this and downvote accordingly.
I hope the whole system fails after some corporation sues them. They should be monitoring this but are allowing a wild wild west to take place. It's disgusting
have you looked at the content being placed on d.tube ? Also community will downvote pirated content, so "quote" Assholes "quote end" won't make money of pirated content.
@roelandp - I already see some dude making $3 from an episode of The Office. $3 might not be a lot to some, but for others it can make a difference. I will downvote them all though, thanks man
Please do downvote ALL pirated and copyright infringed videos. The problem though is that not all copyright infringements are easy to spot, and sometimes it can be a legitimate owner of a Youtube channel reposting their content on Dtube, and you should not penalize them because you did not realize it was their own original content.
I guess all legitimate youtubers should make their account names match their youtube channel names, and mention in their video description that it is in fact their own original content.
You are talking about .00000001 % of the community here. If pirated and copyrighted content was well rewarded, that's what the majority of Steemit would be. It's NOT.
I believe people uploading piracy are upvoting themselves mostly, it's always the same amounts they get. If you feel rewards are unfair, you can downvote, in the end the same amount of money gets distributed through steem everyday, so by downvoting what you consider shit content and taking rewards away from it, these rewards are redistributed to all other contents, so you are not really wasting your power.
Thanks for the reply. But don't you believe some measures should be put in place at some stage to ban such pirates? How will you guys handle a law suit etc, do you really want to deal with that headache.
Yes some measures should, have you suggested any? No you simply wish for the death of the platform. Everyone else here is suggesting solutions.
What measures do you think need to be put in place?
You don't fully grasp the implication of blockchain tech bro.
Hint: the concept of free open source software is going to be applied to everything.
Oh really? So you guys think that full movies and series will go up and nothing will happen? All will be dandy? Riiiight. Keep dreaming.
Full movies have been available through software like bittorent for a long time and nothing happened.And now IPFS is taking it to the next level. So yeah all is dandy in a decentralized world :)
You are raising a very important point that absolutely ALL Steemit witnesses should lose some sleep over...
They said that about the tape cassette, then the CD, then the MP3, then napster, then everything else, yet here we are still ticking.
The Dtube devs aren't the ones posting pirated stuff. Of course they should be rewarded for their work.
Your comment seem to be based on the premise of pirating being immoral.
But many disagree with that premise.
Your comment is very subjective.
Disagreed with you completely. DTube is amazing, still slow compared to the mainstream rip off Youtube who does not pay a single penny to its users rather than they selected Youtube stars. Agreed with you in the subject of original content creators but the film industry make billions every single day, let the pirates earn some bucks...Or are you the world Saviour, detective?
Hi, I just wanted to say hi and wish you merry christmas. Also a big thank you for keeping me on your auto-voter.
So I guess those people who think there is nothing immoral about pirating would not think it immoral if I stole their car or any other of their property I think I might want to sell or use.
So you feel it's perfectly fine to upload a movie and make money off it? That's weak man.... Freebooting fucking pathetic mentality
Pirating isn't good in the societies we live in. Only because copywrite was created...... You know? That jumble of bold letters coded onto a screen which you pair meaning to?
Content should be free. Probably not the content that you find pre-2009 but everything thereafter should be free. Society develops as fast as those who run it. Look at bitcoin, doing its lunges. The money is moving and the companies will follow. They will deal with it all and a resolution will come to play in time. - look, the fence isn't that bad. Calling the glass a container with liquid is the same as saying its half full. or half empty..
also @diskidomain those words wont get you far here. What are your honest thoughts on constructive criticism?
Here for the discussion, not the argument
@kodieamos - thanks for the reply. Sorry man but I don't feel original content creators should feel obliged to work 100's of hours on work and then some douche thief comes along and steals thier work and monetizes off it! That's the issue here. If ORIGINAL content creators got rewarded for their original work, the ecosystem would thrive. Instead, we have little runts sitting and waiting to steal content daily. These same runts like Ladbible have massive followings and obivously get better reach or engagement. That is simply unfair! No two ways to look at it. It shouldn't be about the money, but when you see thieves profiting off your hard work, it's disgraceful. I have had this happen to me multiple times. I am a creator and to see my original work get stolen and then viewed 14 MILLION times by some theif scum account, I have every right to be upset.
The whole point of the Blockchain is to protect content fairly I believe. But now sites like this are going to make the issue worse? No thanks, won't be a part of it. I will stick to Youtube then and feed the giant I hate rather...
If Dtube welcomes the pirates and the thieves, then do they welcome child porn and ISIS beheading videos and things of that nature too?

Stealing cars isn't good in the societies we live in. Only because theft laws were created...... You know? That jumble of metal which you pair meaning to?
YOUR car and all of your belongings should be free for anyone to use. Probably not if your car is pre-2009 but everything thereafter should be free for anyone to use. Society develops as fast as those who fuck it up!
How long did YouTube go with pirated content on it? Years?
And do you understand decentralized? There is no way to stop it or take it down...the content isnt on servers under any one entities control.
@taskmaster4450 - So basically, it's a fully fledged perfect hub to PIRATE to your hearts content? Awesome. This is what we needed :( I'm done then. Sadly my followers and people begging for content will just have to accept my days are over.
Are you really going to come at me from this perspective?
Get your head out of your ass. The Internet, you know that thing that is about 25 years old, is the biggest copy machine in the world. Do you really think that D.Tube is required to steal content? It has been going on since the internet came into being.
You are complaining about a portion of the population that takes content yet are state that you are going to keep posting on YouTube which is 100% oppressive and censoring.
And you attack D.Tube? How dare you? Who the hell are you to attack a platform that can provide a voice to millions of people who live in tyrannical societies? No you get your panties in a ruffle since you some takes a few dollars out of your pocket.
Like most people who want freedom, you cant handle. You still want big brother to take care and protect you. Kneel at the altar of the oppressor all the while complaining.
You are right, get to YouTube and let google protect you.
@diskdomain Stop crying! Show me original content on internet that has value, please.
Except some media news, everything is rewritten, redone, rehearsed, simply stolen as you call it, it's all about those who can make money of it.
Accept it, this is the reality of life. Thank you
You aren't a content creator obviously, you don't get it. Peace
freaking dtube wont let me login keeps saying my key is wrong when ive copyied and recopped the private posting keey from here multiple times and username exactly makes non sense!
Did you click on 'show posting key ?'
Here is an help : https://about.d.tube/#faq1
You and I always have the option to flag those videos if they are not in the public domain. If they are copyrighted, the owners still have the option to send a DMCA takedown notice.
Unlike YouTube, the amount of money a video makes on DTube is publicly viewable so it's very foolish of these users to upload these movies, advertising how much illegal money they are earning. Don't won't have any defense when they are caught.
Canadianrenegade,
I agree @heimindanger and the team should be thanked for all the hard work on Dtube. I was so excited to see the announcements of the updates/changes to the platform. I'm relatively new to Steemit. Tried out Dtube several times with much disappointment of its lag. Was hoping to post videos of my travels. After the announcement, my excitement has rekindled. I hope to be a part of and support this community for a long time to come. There is so much potential for Dtube and Steemit as a whole. Keep up the great work everyone!
I think Phillip defranco needs to be introduced the most his followers will come and steemit will flourish
He has invested in YouNow, they are launching Rize next year
Готов опубликовать несколько видеороликов на платформе, я устал от ограничений на YouTube
good and nice
that was so amazinG
I'd like to commend the team for getting an idea off the ground and having it run(production).
However, It would not be out of place to mention that the platform is for public usage and not for Dtube team consequently the team needs to take feedback from visitor and act on those things that would aid the platform to excel.
No matter how fantastic you project is, once you do not have users signing up the project is doomed.
Please guys, there should be some form of moderation on the platform to mitigate issues surrounding copyrights and piracy.
Keep up the good work.
I have high hopes for Dtube, and part of their value comes from speculation, but enough content providers take their job seriously, we can easily move the masses towards the platform by showing our own progressive success. So the best we can do for the future is keep on creating, resteeming, engaging and keeping up with eachother's content. The future is bright if we all work towards this together. Happy early new years btw :) right around the corner
Nice comment
Now I really gotta check out Dtube. Sounds like a lot of fun! Super props for @heimindanger
