RE: Introducing DTube: a decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS
The result is simply stunning. I can't quite wrap my head around the future and present possibilities Dtube bring. Hat's off to your hard work.
therefore if you don't want your video upload to appear in your feed, you can edit or delete it, the video would stay intact on DTube. While it would be possible to display nothing on other platforms like steemit.com or busy.org,
All video posted on Dtube automatically becomes Steem posts, meaning these would received votes by bots just like regular posts?
10% of these fees will be used to pay for long-term storage of the files on IPFS Store. The rate is $0.044 per GB per month. So, for example, let's say you upload a 100MB video, that earns $10 rewards, then $0.25 will go to @nannal and ensure data redundancy for ~57 months.
Is there something to prevent people from uploading useless video in some sort of spamming attempt?
They can try spamming, they content won't stay hosted on IPFS and the spam will disappear by itself.
Also we can just downvote and rekt their STEEM reputation.
And yeah... bots will upvote DTube videos as well. Not much I can do against that. Bots already rule the internet
I know most traffic are bots on the web.
But what if someone upload a video of 100MB and it owns nothing. What if a spammer tried this on a large scale, wouldn't it cost a problem? I'm guessing I'm missing something.
