Should be online again, due much traffic our mongo database lost some speed.

Next update comming soon. Right now a casino without steam login is under developement 

Nope, didn't work. I've tried to reinstall the app too, but the error is still the same. Another suggestion?

Until the ico ends users will not have their own VIDZ with which to place manual bounties. During the entire beta period of the site (from this weekend until the full 1.0 launch) there is a global bounty set from our dev fund of 1KK VIDZ. Everything submitted and approved during that time entitles you to a portion of those coins.

For example lets say there are 10,000 items are submitted during that time and you submitted 10 of them, you are entitled to 1000 of the global bounty (1/1000 of the 1KK coins).



The onion domain is simply a backup for those who cannot access the main one for whatever reason or need to use torbrowser due to the situation in their country. Obviously torbrowser is not going to be quick enough to reliably stream with so users would only be using that route to access magnet links and the search engine on our site. Consider it a stripped down 'text only' version of the website for them to access.


During launch the website will be semi-decentralized. This means that the database and web host will be spread across multiple servers in multiple countries and we will be randomly routing users between them using the purevidz.net portal page. We've discussed at length both in the OP and throughout the thread our legal status and our plans moving forward in regards to redundancy. Here is the major points that have been discussed so far.

-Our service and our business model is not illegal in our region.
-The server does not host any copyright materials of any kind making any legal action difficult at best
-Our servers/backup hosts will be spread across numerous countries where American copyright law does not apply making them very difficult to interfere with
-The entire website can be made decentralized through the same technology the streams are using: Latest version of site can be live torrented to populate the website content, magnet link to access that torrent pulled from blockchain.


The reason the 'centralized' server exists to start with is because it makes the load time for the site much lower. The back end content of the site will be automatically backed up using decentralized methods. Regardless of any attempts to interfere with the main site, domains being seized or servers being confiscated the site will continue to run with little to no downtime.



Live streaming is not part of our site design. It is a theoretical possibility but is not something that we plan for our service to cover unless the technology improves significantly.

TVAddons that I know about is a site listing and hosting KODI addons rather than a streaming or torrenting service. With the release of our public API (as listed in the dev timeline) we will be looking to engage developers working on KODI and other devices to include our site with the possibility of partnering with android tv merchants to market set-top boxes using our site as a preconfigured option.


The comparison between vTorrent and PureVidz is not unexpected but as you say can be hard to draw parallels.

As per their thread, they are looking to re-create the days of Kaza They are looking to re-create the days of kazaa or limewire where users access torrents through a downloaded client with the search engine and file tags being decentralized through that application. I am not going to pass judgement having not been involved in their project but the only real difference between what they are describing and what is offered by dozens of applications or websites for a decade or more is rewarding people for submitting and seeding content. While we strongly believe rewarding users for participating in building and maintaining our site's content is necessary and useful, I do not see it as some grand breakthrough that dismisses the inconvenience and mistrust users have for torrents and I don't believe it alone is enough to push users away from their favorite torrenting sites or applications.


Purevidz is designed completely around simplicity. The end user should need no addons or 3rd party applications and it should simply 'work'. I would prefer to refrain from 'trashtalking' other projects so I will simply leave it at that one comparison, our site does not require any knowledge of torrenting or blockchain technology in order to be used and enjoyed. It should feel for the user no different than how they already interact with youtube or any traditional streaming service.


To ensure the safety and anonymity of our users, our website will not record any logs more than are required to function and troubleshoot the site. Our site will contain a section specifying exactly what data is recorded, our policies on how long records are maintained for and our policies on who has access to that data. The most simplistic description of those policies will be:  no user-specific data will be recorded, any logs will be purged within 30 days and will not be accessible through any external network connections and not made available to any 3rd parties.

When dealing with user accounts we will of course offer standard security features including but not limited to site wide SSL, 2FA and passwords and emails being salted and hashed to avoid any personal data being accessible by site staff. We will have a separate mailing list which users can opt into which will give us permission to store a readable copy of your email address for use in promotions, a similar privacy policy will be placed on this database and will be viewable when opting into that service.


Because torrents available through our website will function just as well on traditional torrent sites, tracking individual user seeds is not necessary. Instead we simply need to know who submitted the original torrent and moderators must review a torrent to ensure it has a healthy existing seed count and is properly tagged before approving it for use in our site. For anyone with experience in torrenting, having them available across as many sites as possible is a good thing for the health of the network.

Thank you for the respectful response I am sorry if mine was assish. Been a long day of bullsh** mails. Look forward to having you in the community in the future. (ya ya said last post but i've been a comp addict for over 20 years so its hard :p lol)

Had to come here and respond since theres apparently bashing of my project here. Movies are only going to be a portion of my project.

"someone doing site with links to sharing sites only for coin profit"  have you taken the time to even read anything and see that the movies is to bring in a user base?
(BTW IPFS is not new. It is being used by quite a few movie sites. with gigantic networks. And your doing nothing but sharing links for coin also. Im not. You guys even considered trying to charge a fee LOL)

Just FYI 9/10 of those movies were intentionally scrubbed from your vidz IPFS. So yes the movies section is just a piece of my project

I held off on scrubbing and indexing the vidz project out of respect for another Dev and his project. But as I can see the respect is only 1 way.
So i have to say thank you for the lack of professional respect. I will index vidz movies into my movie section this week.
Thank you for the content.

*Odrak 

Are you guys seeing what I am seeing?

yes

Few silenced speculators, who a couple of days ago, shouted that is Bitcoin killer. Twitter was full of spam about Vidz to the moon. Where are they now when prices fell just little?

Yea this thread actually made me register cause OP is the first guy I see around here who seems to genuinely love what he does. Other threads are mostly created by marketers or scammers or guys who have money has their primary objective, here it's different his main objective is not money it is to create something. That's how I see it anyway, feel free to believe what you want this is my first post ever here (well second post actually )

There is a bunch of other stuff, too

Serious question....the breakaway dev did post some pretty damaging remarks about Vidz. What's to be done to address those concerns seeing how he felt so strongly about them being a problem that he left?

yes i am here. but it is my last post good luck to all. arround 20 minutes and my stack of some hundredthousand coins is free and ready for the dump

Saying it again, but both me and the other developer have technical backgrounds and my updates coming in the following days will prove this.

While we tried to be as transparent as possible and we took the best measures we could to ensure that the project would progress with a consistent vision in mind.

The true resource that the Pure Vidz network has at this time is traffic, and in order to show the community how serious I am about this project and how much I care about this community I am taking a decision to help the community monetize on the traffic that Pure Vidz receives. In addition to the original whitepaper, there will be an additional Pure Vidz marketplace where bidders can bid on advertisement slots in VIDZ that will be shown to the users of the Pure Vidz network.

We'll release some metrics on traffic starting in a couple days in order to give the market an understanding of the potential revenue that could be earned and used towards burning coins.

Millions of people all over the world spend valuable time looking for their favorite movie or even a recently released movie on streaming sites. We offer some of the fastest streaming times in impeccable quality without being bombarded by intrusive and sometimes abusive ads. Pure Vidz advertisements will only accept user friendly ads that will be displayed in a light manner by not blocking the plane of view once the stream begins.

There were already plans mentioned to add subtitles and re-add for TV which will occur over the span of this month as well of other development.

While the community may suspect our intention one thing that no one can argue is that the traffic on our site will continue to increase as more and more people find out about it. The existing website itself is maintaining a high standard of operation then some other streaming sites.

I am busy at work; I will not stop until I reach my goals. We did a large UI update yesterday and I will continue to release more updates. There will be more information on the marketplace and its structure in the coming days. If websites such as coinmarketcap.com can maintain a solid ad marketplace, imagine the power of Pure Vidz.

Thank you for your trust.
