Hello,

Wondering if anyone know of DTube. My friend told me about it today and saw that they you can getg $$$ for videos. Also there isnt any ads or anything.

Anyone ever tried it ?

Dtube is a service that run over the Steemit blockchain. It is the same as Youtube without the ads and censorship of a centralized social network.

You get pays when people upvote your content!

I think I heard about  DTube which is technically affiliated to Steemit social network. It is a more decentralized social platform devour of censorship which is common to social media platforms. I personal love the platform because you can earn money from posting your videos and having up votes.

What about subscribtions? is upvote the only way to get cash for the videos?

very nice website ..... but it need more time to be will known

Hello,

Thanks for mentionning DTube.

Dtube project is now moving forward quickly, since our first Proof of Concept was successful:
- over 1M visitors on d.tube / month
-  $1M value redistributed to creators during the 18 month test period
- new blockchain since June 2019

Most blockchain projects have brilliant ideas … but no product. DTube is a LIVE project

All the best,
DTube team

I am not familiar with DTube but i'm pretty interested about it, maybe its better if I look for some information about it that can enlighten me and give me some knowledge because it is hard to trust nowadays and that is why we need to know the basic information about it just to make sure that its not like the other scam sites or etc. I'm actually looking forward to test it, I think its easy and great idea to earn money.

Read the message just above yours. You will get your answers.

This looks like scam. I doubt a Dtube real representive here would give anyone username and private key on a public forum. This poster seems to be giving out a username and what looks like a private keys. I guess he expects his victim to login into his Dtube account and eventually earn him some steem or buy new Steem which he(the poster) could end up withdrawing.

The videos are really uploaded on decentralized network (blockchain) or only creators are receiving more money for their content because there is no intermediary? If yes, then what is the future of DTube when we have BAT token?

I love the DTube project, and the whole Steemit too but both of them needs more quality content makers lured into it.

Private key is given, because we are in testate, so token hold no value so far.
If you read our whitepaper, you will see this is no scam, and find they keys in it actually...

But of course, I understand you may be weary, because you're used to have a lot of fake projects.
Well we are a live project, and have been since August 2017

All the best,
The DTube Team

You may want to add the word "test account" in your previous comment. I understood what it was when I first read it but others like the person who claims that it's scammy may not get it.

Can you drop how many users you have right now? and what's the highest number of views in a single video?
Anyway, best of luck decentralizing the video/content creation industry. There are other platforms right now that are also challenging youtube like beatzcoin's vibravid.

Yes i've heard about Dtube,its more like veoh and vidleak and other social video sharing platform, DTube is a network fueled video sharing website where clients vote on recordings to compensate makers, guardians,etc,its actually a good website with no junky ads like others and its easy to use the service and earn money

well I just heard this, if it's true like that, of course it's very good especially for those who like to make video content. that way you will get many benefits as long as your content is liked by many people.

Im just hearing about the website as well and ive opened the website which feels and looks like youtube but i doubt its very rewarding,if the reward is very good the website will be very popular by now just like steemit but only few people knew about it

I do not guarantee, but usually things like that will soon boom as long as they really provide good services and functions for users. I also want to know more about this

Yes, I used it. I don't like it over youtube, becasue the server seems not fast enough and there are many lacks of organizing tools for creators. However, it is built on a blockchain network. They said, it's decentralized but you can't upload anything you want if that violates their terms. A decentralized platform should not restrict us. So, don't see any advantage here, so not going to change my YouTube.

You're completely right. We updated the post to better show the account is a TEST account.

End of June 2019, we launched our new blockchain, Avalon, which distributes DTC (DTube Coin)
DTube now runs both on Steem and Avalon, inter-operable blockchains.

In 8 weeks, we already reached 11 228 accounts created (stats as of yesterday).
For the time being, testnet is only opened to steemians, which will receive 50% of initial supply if they claim their account (more information on https://twitter.com/DTube_Official).

Important: we plan to open test net very soon, in the coming weeks for anyone interested in Decentralized web and Dapps.
Our ambition is massive, but we focus over the past 2 years on our product, to become legit.

Never heard of Dtube. But I know Verasity. By using Verasity you can also win awards for the videos you watch. Both the broadcaster and the audience can win the VRA together. Moreover, the VRA token is listed on the Binance DEX.

I got to know about it recently, when someone used it to make video for Morpheus lab and then I asked, was told it is an affiliate of steemit, once you have an account with steemit, you automatically can use it, your steemit followers are also your DTube followers. You also earn when you get upvote using DTube.

No, I am not heared about that, but now I should. Before I used another extansion calls Bittube and it gives profit in their tokens. But now I hear the payment in USD and it sounds good for me, hope it will be live in futer.

That is true. Although completely separated companies, DTube is working together with Steemit.
What does this mean?

When you upload a video (or tag, or comment) on DTube, you can rewarded with both DTC (DTube Coins) and STEEM.
Blockchain were made interoperable, in order to avoid the silo effect.

We think facilitating interactions between chain will be a way of going mainstream (as Youtube and Facebook collaborates together for instance).

By the way, there is just one week remaining for claiming your DTube account, if already have a Steem account, so better hurry if you haven't.

All the best,
DTube team

I actually want to try the same thing like that, but because of the time that may be quite a bit to fulfill how our performance to reap the results by playing my friend's video in a way to earn this $$$.
 

Did you know you can upload video on DTube from platform in just one click?

The DTube team

I don't think this will have a success like all the other video monetization sharing sites in the internet, they have a very bad implementation I have a steem account and automatically registered here using my Steem keys information.

One of the problems of video uploader and I think everyone who wants yo upload their videos here is your video will stop playing and stop from being monetized if you did not reach enough upvotes,

I am thinking of uploading some videos but do diligent research first and I find this well-written reviews about DTUBE
https://www.reddit.com/r/dtube/comments/8cgc5v/personal_summary_after_uploading_600_videos_on/

I have not heard about DTube, but judging by the above idea is similar to some familiar services to me. Of course I would need to try it myself to understand how convenient it is, how well the video is loaded and viewed, etc...while not going into details of the reward.

Fans to shoot and upload your video may be worth a try this service. Will professionals who earn on their video but on more popular sites go to DTube? Perhaps they need to compare the possible rewards.

I have not heard about this before ... thanks to the link, I will try to learn more

For the first time I hear about this. This is something like YouTube, but without ads, right? Does it work on blockchain?

With "tube" there are many sites ranging from the well-known "YouTube". About DTube I have not heard anything. Earnings on the video? as here write. Perhaps video fans should pay attention

I've heard it a few times, but I haven't used it. I already know what is more useful and promising. I think you should take a look at Verasity.

DTube has been around for quite a long time. It is one of the SMT under the steel block chain just as the others. Busy.org is also there too. You can make money from DTube and busy but it all has its leverage drawn from the steemit.com platform.

Great idea and design. Is it a Steemit project or is it just a partnership? Once upon a time, Steemit was a trend and a very famous project.

The project deserves the right to be the best in its field. It’s a pity to move whales such as YouTube will be very difficult.

You are right, in such a market it will not be so easy to compete with already known services, especially considering financing. But with the right approach, marketing and a qualified team, can succeed step by step.

Idea is good but not new. My opinion.. project for earning money will be not have success. Need make it for users firstly

I heard about it, moreover I use this platform to earn money. But for now I not earn a lot, just started

https://d.tube/

I wonder what is the upvote on that website.
just watching them will give them the upvote or you still need to click?
If that is the case then youtube will be better payer as audience need to just watch.

You should check some details about on how to earn on this DTUBE

Here is the sample video explaining on how to: https://d.tube/#!/v/limon99/7Mti_ureOIA

AND YES GUYS, you can earn more on youtube that this one!

Thanks @ufolly for your comment.

NB: tokens hold no value so far, since we are in test-net

Will professional go to DTube?

We believe they will, and here a few reasons why:
1. They can keep their other platform while going on DTube
2. Even better, they can upload their video with less than 2 clicks (they just need their url).
3. They have no risk of demonetization
4. They can gain new users, reaching other persons
5. They could even be considered as ahead in terms of trends, giving them new exposure

So why wouldn't they give it a try?

Hello OddEvenBets.com,

You're right about bringing our utmost attention to users first.

Dtube is first focussed on bringing users, whether they are
- content creators
-  curators of great quality content
- simple viewers
We intend to provide a great video streaming experiment.
We created the DTube Coin to support our vision. As a utility token, it brings back value to the end users, making your vote, comment or upload more interesting on traditional social media.

DTube is definitely aiming at giving value to its users first, hence the 50% Airdrop we will be giving to the people that already used DTube on a regular basis.

We'd love to hear more about what you'd see as "make it for users firstly"

Dtube planning to crowdfund via IEO?
How does one know you are truely representing Dtube?
I guess it will be pretty hard to trust a newbie with no green trust or copper badge but claiming to represent a popular platform like Dtube.

Very good question.

Why DTube has no copper badge... yet
For the past 2 years, we focussed more on building up a great product rather than communicating over it.
Some would have done the opposite, and build an ERC-20 token to raise funds asap and see how to use them.
That's not the way DTube team works.

Is DTube_Official legit?
1. Join our telegram, and ask about who's representing DTube on Bitcointalk: https://t.me/dtube_official
2. Ask same question to the DTube account on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DTube_Official
3. Read any article from DTube on Steemit, and see the link about the official bitcointalk account

Is DTube planning to carry out and IEO?
We will be carrying out an IEO in the coming weeks, and a first private sales occurring on September 20th.

DTube Open Sign-up

We’re proud to announce that on Wednesday the 18th of September DTube will be opening its doors to non-steem users for the first time.

Non-steemians can now finally sign up for DTube on:

https://signup.d.tube/


The Steps

We currently collect these pieces of information:

Date of Birth
Email (+1000 VP, +0.5 DTC)
Facebook Account (+1000 VP, +1 DTC)
Phone Number (+1000 VP, +5 DTC)
This information is not collected for the purpose of marketing, but purely to avoid kids under 13 from accessing DTube, and most importantly stops robots from programatically creating many accounts, as happened with the SteemIt signup near it’s inception.

If you complete the full verification steps without skipping any, your starting account should begin with 6.1 DTC and 3000 VP.

Keep in mind those numbers are purely for the testnet, and we will likely be less generous once the main-net and token trading opens.

Testnet Accounts

These newly created accounts will not be included in the up-coming airdrop. As such they are not entitled to any main-net DTC and all users who have created accounts using this method will lose them unless they acquire an initial source of funding in main-net (participation in the token sale)

STEEM userbase

Over the past 24 months, our usebase has flourished with 189,000 active users, and a rough average of 20 new videos every hour. During this time we’ve distributed the equivalent of 1.1 Million USD to our users via the delegation we’ve been entrusted with.

Avalon users

There are a number of reasons why Avalon is the right step forward for DTube (You can read more here).

With this comes the opportunity to have Avalon users who are not steem users. This means we can create as many accounts as needed and allow new users to be onboarded rapidly.

We feel this will help us acheive a wider audience, introduce DTube to more people and allow them to get going as fast as possible.

STEEM Onboarding

As noted during the Delegation renewal procedure, created accounts are a metric that the new delegation committee will be measuring from now on.
STEEM accounts are a commodity, they cost a small sum to make and to create a new STEEM account on each new DTube account, would probably be a waste.
We plan to offer free STEEM accounts to the best DTubers who don’t own one in the future, based on their performance on DTube.
DTube previously had no ability to evaluate users. Users which are clear assets to the community can be rewarded with STEEM accounts

Curation

New users who do not own a STEEM account will still be eligible for curation, as we would like to give everyone the same chance at getting visibility in hot or trending. No preference will be given to whether you have a STEEM, or Avalon account, or both. We will keep judging videos based on the video alone.

Co-existence

We are commited to making STEEM better and hope that DTube can serve as a gateway for users to co-exist along side steemians and then when proven worthy brought into the fold.
We’re very much looking forward to the future and hope you’ll assist us in welcoming all new users.

I believe that until the cryptocurrency is approved by all states around the world. No one will need these services where you can earn money, since there will be too few users and accordingly the earnings will be small, now you have a youtube and nobody needs anything else!

Well that is your opinion and we respect it.

A few remarks though:
1. every product started with a few thousands of users (even Youtube, as surprising as it may be). Rome wasn't built in a day.
2. a lot of users care about privacy and no ads, which is our key focus at DTube
3. We are not forcing people to abandon their general stream (if any - and statistics aren't great about average Youtuber revenue by the way), but adding another stream in a matter of seconds
4. If nobody would need it, there wouldn't be such a row both from viewers and creators about demonetization, lack of trust in algorithms, too much ad pressure.

Yet, DTube is only 2 years old and in an early stage, you are 100% right.

Regards,
The DTube team

I've never heard of it, but judging from reviews below it's something worthy of attention. i mean, blockchain youtube, it's awesome, isn't it?

Yes absulately right.

Dtube is a good project from the very beginning. A unique program that can transfer information from a decentralized repository. The most valid youtube-like platform ever published. Users can earn money from their posts without intermediaries(youtube) . I think one of youtube's most famous YouTubers, pewdie (a pseudonym like this one) had moved to dtube.

But I can say that there is still a long time to spread as much as youtube.

Yeah I heard about Dtube. Its a platform like youtube. But decentralized and if you get like on your video ,you will get some money. One of the biggest youtuber pewdiepie also joined dtube. There are lots of streamer around the world who also stream on dtube. Its a nice platform but its not that much organized.

Dear Mannybitcoins,

The best is to have try and see for yourself: you can sign-up for free here:
https://signup.d.tube/

So many crypto projects raised funds, and only have... projects.
We did it the other way round, building a live product first, to be legit.

Mainstreaming cryptos - and video is a great media for it - will hopefully benefit to all great crypto product in the future.

Our product isn't perfect, since we are still a small team, but we have a pretty clear roadmap and a vision: respect our users, don't exploit their data, don't blast their minds with advertising.

We will be glad to hear from your user experience :)

All the best,
The DTube team

https://signup.d.tube/sale.html

I have not heard anything about this project, but I can only say one thing: this area is not yet ready to work with cryptocurrency and all projects in this direction are still raw and do not bring any benefits. I can definitely say one thing that you can make money on youtube and in this I can give you a guarantee, if you are interested in shooting videos and sharing them with other Internet users then you should go there, I assure you that if you regularly upload videos you will gather an audience around you will be interested in your content and you will have money from this.

I am never hear before, but It seems that this platform needs to be considered, because it can be used as an alternative for content creators who have difficulty to getting money from Adsense. But unfortunately the DTube platform still has many shortcomings, such as auto filter / censor feature for adult content and the rewards are too small for a popular video.

i heard about it and just reminded me, i might upload the video i have been editing which are the things i did promote BTC.  how much can you earn with it?
i tried uploading some of the videos i did where i put my qrcode but didn't really received donations to it lol disappointing when i have posted the videos on the linked group which were related to cryptocurency. non of the whales ever tipped  ;D


there is a place for adult contents and you must have heard of it its called pornhub, verge coin i heard is accepted there.

Dear Bitcointalk community

First thing first: we apologize to you for leaving you with very little communication during these past 4 months. Yet we thank you for your support during that time, and your faith in the DTube project.

We owe you some explanations

Launching 1st Round of DTC sale finally gave us an understanding of how big the demand for the DTC would be. We quickly noticed that the current fundraising situation would never give us the financial means we needed to achieve our ambitious goals in the whitepaper.

Why?

IEOs require heavy "security deposits" that we can not afford with current Round 1 funds.
Our STEEM income from the 2M SP delegation has been going downhill, and we are unsure what the new delegation committee wants, and whether we can actually rely on this income.
Programmatic DTC dumping on markets was never an option for funding our company and hiring staff, since this model had already been tried without success by SteemIt Inc.
Obviously after more than two years of work on this project, it was a hit to realize that we had to tune down our ambitions by a lot. We took advantage of this period to re-think our long term strategy on how to make Dtube scalable and sustainable with limited resources. After all, Dtube's end goal was never about making money and giving people jobs, but about building a libre alternative to YouTube that would resist censorship and stand the test of time.

Mainnet Launch Adjustments
Given new circumstances, DTC's mainnet is scheduled on the 10th of May 2020.

Round 1 will be our first and last funding round for DTCs original supply, for reasons mentioned above.

The DTube Coin initial supply will be 4 millions DTC instead of the original 100 millions. Effectively, DTC will be 25 times more scarce than what originally planned.

Initial supply ratios we announced in the whitepaper will remain the same:
- 50% to the community through an airdrop (unlock mechanisms will be explained in the next blog post): 2M DTC
- 25% to Round 1 investors: 1M DTC
- 25% to Team and collaborators (core team, github contributors, curation team, translators, etc): 1M DTC
If less than 1M DTC are sold in the token sale on 10th May, the remaining tokens will go to the @dtube account and will be sold on the d.tube website at markets prices after the mainnet launch.

What should our users expect and what we will be working on until the launch of the mainnet ?
Implementing different upload methods (BTFS, WebTorrent). We need more people to start self-hosting videos and the upload page will finally start reflecting that
Polishing the sign-up process and more instructional information in the UI to make Dtube more user-friendly and easier to get started with
Coding and testing the airdrop mechanisms
Preparing for centralized exchanges listings
Creating DTC-pegged tokens for decentralized exchanges such as Steem-Engine
More documentation to experienced users willing to run a DTC node
More documentation for new users coming from outside the crypto-sphere
A new improved homepage
What will happen after Launch ?
No matter the financial situation, we still want to make Dtube a fully complete scalable product which can thrive in a decentralized way (i.e. without corporate funding).

Round 1 funding and our STEEM stake will be used principally to keep our infrastructure running for the years to come. All other expenses will be put on hold.

Development will continue at the same pace than before, with major patches coming in once every few months, introducing important features that already exist on popular video platforms.

Do you have an announchment thread in this forum? If you don't, you can easily create it and make it clearly comparing you just take an old thread that ask about your platform and you give the latest update of your project here. I just weird about it, when there are a lot of project who comes to this forum and they directly creat an announchment as the first conversation. But ignore my comment if you create already, just put the link here in order to many people here know your project.
