Decentralization And DTube
Friends. We hear the words "decentralization" a lot these days. The big reason is because of control.
If we can be controlled with what we say and what we are permitted to post on social media.
Then we become mind control slaves to the political correctness flavor of the day.
That is some of the reason for Steemit.
Steemit runs on top of a decentralized network named Steem. Like Bitcoin, Steem is a blockchain with transferable tokens. In addition to moving tokens from one place to another, Steem is also a text content and metadata database that applications or websites can connect to. Through these apps, Steem users can transact and interact with the Steem database. Instead of using cryptographic hashes as addresses like many blockchains do, user-chosen alphanumeric account names are used. With human readable account names, transactions can be made directly from an identity to an identity, making them easier to understand than hexadecimal hashes.

More decentralization is being made available to humans around the world. Too much to try to keep up with and be knowledgeable of every aspect of it.
But https://d.tube is something we know is coming and is already here being available in the 0.05 version.
The Youtube version being used by Terry Brock here shows a little about what we can expect from DTube going forward in time. It is something that will be used a lot by present time YouTube users I believe.
The rewards are too much to be ignored if you post good content.
You will want watch this video
Anyone posting videos can get Upvotes on Steemit and maybe the added upvote of DTube as well.
"Using DTube videos."
There can be some problems with this version. It is being worked on now as I write this.
Later and newer versions are sure to come.
You can view the full version here from Terry Brock's Steemit blog here.

This will show you a little more of what DTube is and how it works,
What is DTube?
DTube is an application fully written in javascript, that runs in the browser, that allows you to upload and watch videos on top of the IPFS Network. Moreover, it uses STEEM as a database and enables earning rewards from your uploads.
More explanation of it can be found here from the source of introduction:
https://steemit.com/video/@heimindanger/introducing-dtube-a-decentralized-video-platform-using-steem-and-ipfs
Those that use Youtube for video content creation may know the Youtube policy for posting videos.
Advertisers want Youtube to be all cleaned up and pretty to advance their own cause and purpose.
With DTube. Since it is decentralized. You post what you want.
But, remembering that only good content will get an upvote from the Steem Power available.
And it can be very generous. Look for your self.
https://d.tube/
This shows a little of what the link will look like.
When you see the "dtube" in the upvote column. You know you have scored with DTube.
Thank you for following along with me in this search for decentralization and DTube in particular.
I hope you have found something interesting to you and useful.
We can all continue to support Steemit the best way we know how today.
Tomorrow? We may learn something new.
Francis
nice post on dutube.
Thank you
DTube will help all Steemians that want to utilize video in their work and posts.
Freedom from censorship and being able to make choices that fit their offering to the Steemit community.
Then let the community decide what is good and acceptable. And that is as it should be.

Hi Francis!
I tried dtube when it was first launched and everyone complained that the videos wouldn't load up. It sounds like further development has now happened and perhaps it is more user friendly. I will give it another try. :)

I know very little about videos. I have never posted the first one ....yet........
The time to do that will not be too far into the future though.
Learning new things isn't what I like to do. But, to keep up in today's world.
Sometimes it is necessary.
I know many younger than myself that doesn't even use
text yet. I would be lost if I couldn't text.
When you call me. I may not answer. If you send me a text. I will respond soon.
Oh, I forgot. You don't call me. Sorry. Ha
Francis
It's the cost to do so from another country that is si prohibitive. I think you can do live chat in steemit.chat but I haven't tried that yet. Are you on steemit.chat?
(I'm going to send you a message right now on it.)
Thanks for spreading the #DTube Gospel Francisk! :) :)

I see you have scored on the DTube hit parade. Very good. I am happy for you.
Knowing that you produce good videos, with good content gives to you the reward.
You have earned it.
As was pointed out in the above video. Now is a good time while the numbers
are relatively low compared to where they are going in the future.
Thank you for your upvote and comment.
I really do appreciate it.
Francis
This publication is very good and contains more important information that benefits the Stemit community
thank you my friend
I agree. DTube will be an important addition to Steemit. Your work will be recognized and allowed.
That is what "decentralization" is all about. Freedom.
Francis
Very Insightful post - Thank You @francisk
We always try to consider what is happening in our crypto world.
What has already happened can be a little guide for us to a degree.
DTube will take the lead of video creation I think.
Francis
Francsi
Dtube is great no doubt.
And will also keep on growing ;)
DTube will be much better in the future. Plus the great payouts for good content.
Francis
This is something that Im very interested in since I have several YT videos already. The last time I tried to upload something on DTube I had several problems but that was months ago. I will be looking forward to trying it again soon!
Yes. This will move forward quickly I believe.
Youtube is good. But if you get the DTube upvote. You get an extra reward.
And it can be substantial. Good content will be rewarded.
Francis
That's a good one.
Thank you. I am happy for your return.
Francis
Well said @francisk. You discussed very interesting title here. I think it's be valuable for new comers. Awesome video uploaded.

Look at my two previous comments. I would not have believed it.
But, nevertheless it is true. Change is rapidly taking place.
At this point in time. Mostly for the better.
Francis
@francisk,
You have nicely described what about Dtube and how to use it our posts and what's advantages we can earn. Thanks a lot for giving opportunity to known valuable contents.
Resteemed.
I am just shocked at how quickly all this is coming to us. What used to take years and decades.
Is now happening in weeks and months.
Communications is the wave of the future. Nothing can stop or put the genie back into the bottle.
We have a bright future directly ahead of us.
