I this some kind of video service hosting just as youtube? If this is some kind like it, then its nice to have this kind of services combined with crypto currency.
Yes, the two main branches of the project are the serverless video transcoding, decentralized storage and cdn marketplace and the cryptocurrency enabled monetization models. The former is technically more challenging, and less critical for the time being, so after spending some time on prototyping and attempting to figure out all relevant challenges, we've decided to postpone it for now. The main focus of the Viewly project in 2017 and 2018 will be content monetization and creator onboarding. In terms of monetization, do you have a plan to share the wealth fairly among the creators? Most platforms tend to have the top 1% or less making all the profits and then everyone else fighting over the scraps... The fairness advantage in Viewly stems from removal of conflict of interest between viewers and the ad revenue optimization. As far as the revenue distribution goes, it will likely be some form of the power law. |

Obviously you are not gonna compete with YT, that would be insane?
But what's your growth strategy then?
What kind of audience are you going to go after? Any specific niche?
How are you going to acquire users and keep them active?
The strategy is to appeal to creators, and they would in turn bring their audiences. |

am i understand this right that 50% is going to investors and 50% going to the founders of the project?
So if the coin cap will be 100M, in this case that means 50M could be bought by investors and other 50M of coins will be help by view.ly founders?
No. Here is a current distribution proposal (from the whitepaper):  Up to 18% is for the team, but this is not by any means immediate. This distribution will take place over years, and will involve people that are yet to join Viewly (and will help it grow to the next level). At this time, founders and team are receiving 0% of the tokens. Our vesting starts after the main ICO, and we will only allocate a smaller portion of 18%, such that we have plenty of room left for future organizational growth. Who will be in control of this 3% bounty, 9% supporters, 20% creators coins? On which contract this coins will be held and will view.ly founders be having a keys to that contract? These tokens don't exist at the moment. Their issuance and transfers will be made trough evolving smart contract system. Currently, the core team represents the quorum of decision makers, however this is open for change as the project grows. Who will be in control of this 3% bounty, 9% supporters, 20% creators coins when those coins will be created? Why cant you just get straight answer to my question? Why the difficult sentence forming? To confuse people? We are not playing politics here. Please answer as simple as you can. > Who will be in control of this 3% bounty, 9% supporters, 20% creators coins? On which contract this coins will be held and will view.ly founders be having a keys to that contract? Initially, yes. |

What would convince a small youtuber, who is already beaten by low payments and low views, to join Viewly?
There is an abundance of small content creators that are willing to try new venues. The amount of new content being produced daily is more than a single person could watch in their entire lifetime. A bigger, and more important challenge is to cater to larger content creators with strong personal brands and loyal audiences. |

Which blockchain are you using? How does it work?
The current prototype is on top of STEEM, but we are going trough infrastructural overhaul for the MVP. Expect some announcements in this regard before the ICO. |

Vasja Zupan is one of your advisers, can it be safe to say that Viewly will be also traded on Bitstamp, given the fact that he is the COO of the exchange?
No, this should not be assumed. Bitstamp has very high standards as a fully licensed entity, and I think they are only interested in listing the largest and most valuable tokens. So if Viewly is ever listed on Bitstamp, it will be trough its own merit, but this isn't likely to happen anytime soon. |

I was live when the minicap hit, really glad to see this kind of projects taking a good turn! I just registered to ask a questio because I got a problem joining the telegram group.
Can someone please tell me will there be streaming on the platform? I am an aspiring streamer and have put some ETH hoping for a good future for guys like me who hope to earn from their hobbies? I will start uploading videos really soon and hope you'll like them.
GL to everyone and grats to the team for such an amazing project!
Streaming is a commonly requested feature, and as such is on our roadmap. We are currently focusing on regular video first, since it is easier from bootstrapping and technical execution perspectives. Thanks for the answer! And how about just sounds/music? Something lets say like the app would play just the sound of a vodeo in the background without consuming my entire 4g connection and battery? That would be awesome. Yes, while transcoding videos for adaptive bitrate, we also split video and audio tracks. So this would be just an UI feature on top - very useful for music, podcasts and audiobooks. |

Do you have mobile app yet? Or when is plans for iOS or similar?
Mobile apps are crucial, however during the 'early adopter' stage we would prefer to move faster with a single app, and iterate on the product/market fit. The native iOS/Android apps will be developed soon thereafter. |

What's the market cap?
The total possible supply is capped at 100M View Tokens. The available supply after the pre-ico will be 10% of that, or 10M. I'm not sure how to answer the market cap question, since this is not an equity. |
|
|
|
|
That is right, citizens of US and China are excluded from participating in this sale.
|
|
|
|
Is there a whitelist for the pre-ico?
This sale is open to everyone*, and everyone is on the level playing field. *As long as it is legal for you to participate based on laws in your local jurisdiction. |

On Youtube one of the existing problems is anyone can use anyone's content with little changes at start and start earning. Do you have any plan to combat this issue and content of anyone should remain sole property of original creator to earn honest and well ?
Plagiarism should be less of a problem on Viewly, as the monetization is largely influenced by building of a personal brand and a community. |
|
|
|
Same Question people asked before......WHAT IS THE TOTAL SUPPLY!!?  ?!?!?!? It's not in the Whitepaper!!! 100 million |
