Title: [ANN] ClipCoins.com - The “Youtube” of Bitcoins
Post by: clipcoins on January 21, 2013, 08:10:05 PM
Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the beta opening of ClipCoins.com (http://ClipCoins.com) .

The goal is to reward both users of curated videos and original video creators with Bitcoins. Bitcoin payouts come in a collective pool from BTC donations and paid out in a weighted fashion based on # of criterias. Any video uploaded by a creator or curator will receive Bitcoins. (will be implemented once enough content is put up and we'll add ourselves to the free Bitcoin lists). The BIGGER goal is to replace Youtube in a sense with creators getting rewarded for their works.

How you get Bitcoins as a creator is you put your Bitcoin payment address in the description and it registers you. Another aspect of this is to put video generated content and Bitcoin in front of of the most people possible! we hope to do this by providing a Bitcoin customized video player so when people embed it everywhere people are introduced Bitcoin through it.

To help us get our own branded customized video player feel free to donate to us. We need about 4BTC. This will allow us to insert the Bitcoin Logo and have it clickable for people to find out more about Bitcoins specially when people embed the videos all over the interwebs.

What technologies will you be using to stream the video to the client?

How will you handle DMCA takedowns?

:) This is just me bumping the thread.

Interesting.  Something like what was discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141.0

Glad to see you've built this.

Good questions!  ;D

Probably treat DMCA takedowns like anyone else would for the moment unless people have objections!

As for the technologies we are using http://flowplayer.org/ (http://flowplayer.org/).

I figured I would have to figure this part out soon enough haha... At the moment we don't have an "adult section" but can add one in with eventually just doing a stand-alone website just for it.

Obviously, this would be a good match since there is a "reward" system baked in. Good suggestion! ;D

Can you share some technicalities of the "reward" system with us, please?

Hi Paraipan!

Essentially, the Bitcoins are sent to a "pool"  and are distributed based on different criterias for the creators.  So if 5 BTC was sent in a day on the site it is distributed amongst all creators and weighted based on certain things. Good question!

We need about 4BTC.

So, all you scumbag did is changed few lines of text, including clip-bucket.com (http://clipbucket.net/demo/) copyright, and now you want 4 BTC?

Yes, had to keep it but was able to change the wording till get an upgraded package then can remove it.

Is this automated?
How do you guarantee your authors/creators/producers
get payments?

Aren't you aware that anonymousads
has switched to a-ads?

What's in it for you?
If you don't get money from
the ads, do you get money from the
donations?

Isn't it pretty inappropriate to
put the bitcoin address in the description
instead of having a proper custom field?


No Offence
Trying to cover loopholes.
