RE: Piglet update # 2 Uploading Video to Steem and IPFS without Dtube / Tutorial / Instructions
Wow, sad, so good but nobody is reading it. I know that grrr.
I like your approach but then you have to host it yourself. Does IPFS run on Synology NAS?
Thank you much for resteeming. This is the first time I've heard of Synology NAS. IPFS works on pretty much anything though.
Hey, good post, worth it. I was looking that it had an effect! I hope someone will do it for me too!
I'll look if there are apps for Diskstation (Synology). Going to bed!
My IPFS runs on my Desktop in the background. I barely notice it's there.
You only have to host it yourself until the first few people see the video. Ipfs is a lot like torrents. The viewer becomes a host. If your videos are somewhat popular you only have to host them once and then never again.
Yeah but you have to keep a seeder just like torrents so... I would get int touch with @heimindanger or @dtube maybe we could earn some $BD for hosting / seeding hehe
If by seeder you mean the original host, then yes. But again. If a few people running IPFS watch your video they become seeds and you can stop hosting yourself.
IPFS can run on any phone, tablet, laptop etc, with a few tricks. An app will come soon I'm sure. Hopefully more people will begin using IPFS or similar distributed networks and then paying for an original seed/host will slowly become obsolete.
