We've been working on a page to better highlight our overall vision of why we made Pure Vidz, what problems it tackles and how we plan to get there. You can read it currently at: http://purevidz.net/info/introWe'll be adding more to this in the near future and continuing to post updates to it until it reaches the point of where we feel it encompasses the essence that is Pure Vidz. Tomorrow we'll be posting more information about bounties so those that have been asking or private messaging me, please wait until then ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) No white paper? Thinking people give a shit about watching movies online when we have netflix? Amateur hour up in this bitch!
Enjoy paying monthly fees to watch movies and tv thats already free on the internet dude. I'll stream my content for free and use that extra money I save investing in new altcoins. I don't pay monthly fees because I use my brothers access. I would never download crap that has anything to do with crypto, who knows what it can have installed! Good luck with your investments as once you download movies you will soon lose your crypto coins hahaha I thought the post said its a stream site... if so you aren't saving files on your computer or running any problems. No risk of a virus as long as their site is not doing anything tricky or malicious. I would hope they will show us how the site works so we can be sure it wont cause security problems for users, that's my only worry right now. Soon we'll be posting a demo page showing how the technology works and how easy it is for our users to use. After this, we'll continue to release demo aspects of the site as we build up to our initial alpha release.

Twitter Campaign Requirements:Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/PureVidzRetweet our tweets. Send at least 5 tweets. Only 1 per day will be counted. Please include $VIDZ and the @PureVidz tags in your tweets. Rewards:100 VIDZ per retweet 100 VIDZ per tweet (max 20) Note:Payment will be issued at the end of the crowdfunding. Twitter accounts will be audited for authenticity to ensure the campaign isn't abused. You will be able to verify your Twitter on our website. I have gone through complete OP , but there is no interesting point, how can you make this project more predictable and capable of running without any problems.
Sorry sir, I don't quite understand your question. Can you explain further what you mean what you mean by predictable and capable? One interesting point that our project addresses is being user-friendly. Many people who don't know anything about torrents don't feel safe using them. There's a lot of stigma around them just like there is around bitcoin for those who don't know about it. People who aren't tech literate are however familiar with video streaming services and apps like Youtube and Twitch. They are easy to use where as torrenting isn't. One of the parts people find scary about torrenting if they're not familiar with it is the possibility of getting a virus when all they wanted to do was download and watch a show or movie. On traditional streaming websites that offer movies, tv shows, etc. they often give you a bunch of links. Some of these links a broken, but more importantly you have to go through a series of popups, clickbaits, fake video players and a whole lot of other crap. It's pretty much unusable unless you're running an adblocker which some of these sites even detect. The bigger problem here is when you want to watch something and all the links are broken it can be very frustrating. Fortunately, a good torrent on the other hand rarely ever breaks because you will always have people seeding the content. Such a system is especially helpful when you can identify seeders vs. leechers. Since our service makes heavy use of the protocol it's built in a way where not only does it scale with many people using our site but content cannot be truly removed or broken so long as it exists on the seeding network. I think you must promote use signature campaign if you want selling ico success, without promote is very dificult your selling ico can success
Is there a twitter bounty for following the account?
An answer please.And are there any other bountys available. We are currently considering signature campaign but haven't decided on it yet. However we are be starting a Twitter campaign! We'll be posting a list of other bounties such as translations soon. We will continue to release more information about our infrastructure and project as the sale goes on so stay alert! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Finally. I've been waiting for a project liek this to happen. But I dohave some questions that I need answered. If you bring in 100 btc you will only get 10 btc after the ico and another 10 btc when the coins are released and wallets released ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) The rest will still be held by escrow right? Are there any bounties? Signature, translation, design, marketing. When will the ico end? I dont see an end date. Will you have a mac wallet on release? Will there be a web wallet for the noobs who dont like downloading wallets? Why does dabs pay go up as more is raised but sebestians goes down? Will people be able to earn vidz on the site through a faucet or by uploading content? Any tipping tool built into the site? is the dev fund 25m or 27m coins? Your op is not very clear on that. How long till you complete all the tasks mentioned above and all the btc is released? Are we talking about days, weeks, months? Will there be any rules as to what content can be uploaded? Will there be size limits to how much I can upload. Like if I wanted to upload every episode of the Simpsons will there be enough room for that? Im sure I'll have more questions later but for now Id like to hear an answer to these. Thank you in advance. Hey SmartPoker I see you have a lot of questions! Going in order, let me try help answer some of them... You're correct about the 100 BTC and how distribution works. The rest would still be held by escrow. More information on bounties will be available soon. The crowdfunds end date is Jan 6th, I've updated the OP to reflect this, thanks! Mac wallets will be released at the same time was the Windows wallets are soon after the crowdfunding ends. Yes, there will be a web wallet where you can rely on our platform to hold the coins but we encourage all users to set up their own wallets where they can hold their own private keys. The escrows negotiated their terms independantly of each other. Yes, early users of the site who help upload, index and share content will be rewarded! More on this soon. Yes, you will be able to tip people for their content. The dev fund is 25M coins of which 2M coins is being paid to Dabs and Sebastian. Refer to the roadmap for our projected expectations on development time. Since you're not uploading content to our site directly there's really no limit. You may want to read up a bit on the Torrent protocol and how it works if you're not familiar since it's a crucial part of how our infrastructure is set up to work. Thanks and I look forward to answering more of questions ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ! Let me know if I wasn't clear on something.

Until the escrows confirm no one should send any money to this ico. I am sending dabs a message now to ask him if this is legit.
The escrow agreements have already been made and we've contacted them already linking them to our official announcement. Once they post we'll add their posts to the opening post for others to verify. Thanks for doing your due diligence.

We are now finishing setting up a multi-sig wallet with our 2 escrows, Dabs and SebastianJu and are aiming to launch our official announcement thread and begin the crowdfund on Monday.
Thanks for your patience.

I still want to know what trakt integration is please.
Trakt is a service that tracks what you are watching. Think of it a bit like 'goodreads for video'. By rating the media you are watching it will make suggestions for what you may want to watch next, it will track your progress in a video, it allows you to create lists of things you plan to watch in the future and more. It's a proven system that is used across many different media centers and would be a great way for us to extend the user features of the website. Seeing as many of the functions will be duplicates of things already built into the user account management for the site, it is considered lower priority and therefor pushed back in the timeline until everything more important is completed. Pure Vidz through use of its decentralized torrent network solves problems such as the many free movie or tv show websites that require you to click through 100 mirrors only to realize the majority of them are broken links and were taken down due to DMCA take downs. At Pure Vidz you won’t have to worry about this because there is no true one host for the video files since they exist on a distributed torrent network of people seeding the files. Unlike traditional streaming websites where quality degrades with more people watching due to server bandwidth consumption, at Pure Vidz it’s the complete opposite and built to scale where the more people watching a video will actually improve loading times to be faster due to the number of seeders increasing! I understand what you're trying to accomplish with this but what if the Pure Vidz domain is attacked or taken down. They don't need to legally win against you, all they need to do is get the domain seized, ddosed or whatever. Can you please explain how you expect to go around this. That is always a threat but as proven by many different sites (for example the pirate bay), there are many ways to mitigate and bypass those issues. This includes but is not limited to... -Strong filtering of malicious traffic through services such as cloudflair. -Creating a hub to redirect or inform users of any domain changes in the case of one being seized or interfered with. -Decentralized website by publishing updates as their own torrent files (experimental) To touch on the final point - there are a number of projects which seek to protect against single point of failures by essentially making the website itself a torrent which is loaded from peers in your browser. This allows anyone to view the full, up to date website without having to access any single server, domain or host. Web2Web is a primitive but working example of serverless and domainless websites. In their implementation they utilize the bitcoin blockchain to get a magnet link of the most recent version of the website. It then torrents in the relevant website data to display the site itself. Web2Web sourcecode on github (we are not associated with them, it's simply a relevant example) https://github.com/elendirx/web2webdevs more info please!
Sale start date-end date coin amount algo
There will be much more information posted in the near future. That full announcement will also include a fully working stripped down version of the website for people to test.

What is Pure Vidz?Pure Vidz is a video streaming protocol modeled after the successful platform known as Youtube however, built upon and around the decentralized platform that is Torrents. Pure Vidz utilizes Web Torrent technology to deliver an immersive viewing experience allowing us to provide you with a variety of content such as TV Shows, Movies and even personal videos without us or you needing to worry about the legal ramifications of hosting or viewing said content. Due to the nature of Torrents, Pure Vidz actually does not host any videos directly on its platform but rather provides a well refined index of tags, playlists and user profiles making it easy to upload or view whatever it is you desire. Since anyone can make a torrent, it’s very easy to turn Pure Vidz into your own personal site for managing video blogs or custom entertainment content as so many Youtubers do today in modern day society. Unlike Youtube, you won’t have to worry about your videos randomly being taken down as personally uploaded videos are dependent on your initial seeding of the video files until it propagates throughout the network as others download your video and begin seeding it as well. Pure Vidz through use of its decentralized torrent network solves problems such as the many free movie or tv show websites that require you to click through 100 mirrors only to realize the majority of them are broken links and were taken down due to DMCA take downs. At Pure Vidz you won’t have to worry about this because there is no true one host for the video files since they exist on a distributed torrent network of people seeding the files. Unlike traditional streaming websites where quality degrades with more people watching due to server bandwidth consumption, at Pure Vidz it’s the complete opposite and built to scale where the more people watching a video will actually improve loading times to be faster due to the number of seeders increasing!
