RE: First Post on Splintertalk and A Question to the Community

in #steemmonsters • 6 years ago

I love the concept of all things decentralized. However, what is the longevity of a steem based forum? I keep trying to think where all the decentralized data goes. Is the data compressed in some way or will future witnesses need quadrillion byte hard drives and unimaginable bandwidth.

    right now with MIRA it's much better than it used to be. The database only keeps text...there is no audia or video on the blockchain.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Audio and video are stored on IPFS? Who manages that data? Any links with a five grade level walk through?

    Thanks.

      D.tube and other are using IPFS or centralized means depending on their models. IPFS is not the best solution so far and some front end mostly use Steem for the upvoting capabilities. It all depends on different applications models.
