RE: A deeper look into 3Speak.online: Video playback, donations and the onboarding process. Pretty damn impressive so far!

in #exyle • 5 years ago (edited)

How are videos stored on the platform?

Why do content creators have to apply?

Why can't you buy SPEAK tokens with STEEM or other cryptocurrency?

The onboarding does look slick.

    Hi,

    videos are stored on AWS and on SIA. Playback always uses AWS.
    3Speak targets a specific group of creators:

    • Someone who has been banned, censored, demonetised, deplatformed etc from other social media sites
    • A political commentator, scientist or other media personality who has been shutdown for their beliefs or opinions
    • A citizen journalist
    • A crypto-influencer or someone who makes content about this tech (which social media giants won't let you talk about)

    Creators can cash out SPEAK token for FIAT only at the moment. To avoid extra fees for exchanging crypot we only offer credit card payments for now. PayPal might be added in a future update.

    Glad to hear you like the onboarding! Many thoughts have been gone into this!

    Thanks for the reply. Any concerns about running foul of AMZN or Sia's terms of service?

    SIA is a blockchain that has no terms of service.

    Sia is a smart move. Similar to Storj is seems. I still worry a bit about AWS.

        Because it’s overly-centralized. If an AMZN data center goes down, huge swaths of the Internet go offline. And while AMZN hasn’t been too aggressive with censorship so far, that could change. They are already banning books.

        Have you looked at Storj/Tardigrade as an alternative? Or Livepeer for transcoding? I’m not sure these things are ready for prime time but seem like compelling decentralized alternatives to AWS for transcoding and storage. Might be worth keeping an eye on.
