RE: One Thing To Change On DTube...

in #dtube6 years ago

Hey Pete!

I'm so glad that you decided to join Steemit/DTube! You make an excellent point about unlisted videos. I'm 100% sure that the feature set will continue to expand. When he launched DTube, he actually made it clear that it was more of a proof of concept that this type of system is possible, rather than an attempt to launch a legitimate competitor for YouTube. Then again, as the funding and users grow, you can definitely expect new features like unlisted videos, or at least videos that can be posted with some type of scheduler. That might be more practical as a first step than simply unlisted videos due to the financing that posts use with the IPFS system. If you aren't aware, a portion of the rewards from each DTube post are delegated to the DTube account, and a portion of those go to buy the storage space on IPFS that actually store the video files. With unlisted videos, there is a slight complication because those videos need to be stored, but they would not be posted directly and so wouldn't receive rewards to pay for the storage. So someone still needs to pay for the storage space, but I'm sure someone clever will work out the details sooner than later :) Remember, even Steemit is still in beta!

Best,
Trogdor :)
