RE: Introducing DTube: a decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS
I could see a very common use case is that a Steem user wants to create a post, with a title, body, tags, and have the video be a part of the post.
With the current implementation, it sounds like the best way to do this is to upload the video via DTube, then create a separate post with the video URL imbedded. Is that correct?
Are there any plans to move towards more of a hybrid solution, where the post and video could be done as one? (Or does it already work that way?)
It already posts on steemit. It will use the video snap as the thumbnail in the steemit post.
The Dtube data is neither in the title or body, and at the moment it's just auto generated from the DTube title and description. Freshly uploaded example: https://steemit.com/dtube/@titusfrost/zor6jfr6
You can always edit on steemit after, it shouldn't affect the visibility on DTube. If you want your video to disappear from DTube you need to remove 'dtube' from the tags.
Hi!
Can you explain what is to keep a malicious player from utilizing people's private posting keys like that? I don't really feel comfortable just tossing that out and about, giving it away to anybody who asks for it. Isn't there a better, more secure way--like on Facebook, where I can grant permission to an app or service as well as revoke it later? I am uncertain how I would be able to revoke permission to your app once I've given it the master keys to my account castle.
This is what SteemConnect is trying to build I believe. At the moment unfortunatly, no other way around asking you for your private posting key.
But do not worry, your key never leaves your PC on DTube. It is never sent over the wire.
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.
All video posted on Dtube automatically becomes Steem posts, meaning these would received votes by bots just like regular posts?
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.
