How will the censorship process be implemented in the application? I think most videos will be monitored by moderators. Or the most popular video. Then it will be easy to find forbidden content. We will likely establish several distributed and open access systems to aid with decision making rankings and user experience. The idea is that all the participants should have the best possible information at all times which includes, but is not limited to, results of PoA ( proof of availability ) challenges, video demand statistics, copyright and content id tags and basic telemetry. If a material is found by the community copyrighted or not family friendly it will recieve a tag and the hosting node would not want to host copyrighted material, the uploader and the hosting node ( if he continues to host the content ) would recieve a flag. There will be an order book held and a real time bidding between content creators and hosting providers. Each video will be stored on at least three distinct nodes to ensure the video is not lost. Each content creator will likely receive personalized offers from potential hosting providers, primarily influenced by popularity and risk profiles. To make this process easier, as well as to aid in matching the particular content creators with the optimal hosting providers, we should aggregate additional information based on usage of the Viewly app, such as viewership statistics (timing and frequency of views, average per-country aggregates) and the risk profiles (content id tags, copyright flags, and/or other disputes). The price of storage will only be a small proportion of earnings for popular content providers, a small price to pay for storing videos with high intrinsic/emotional value and too expensive for low quality content and/or spam, ultimately eliminating the surplus of unpopular and/or spam videos. The selected host will issue a bond (e.g. 20% of the annual hosting price) as a collateral for actually storing the file. If the hosting node fails a Proof of Storage (PoS) or Proof of Availability (PoA) challenges, they will lose the bond and and the offer to host this video will re-enter the marketplace. In the event where content is purposefully discarded, both the bond and remaining funds in the contract are burned. The hosting provider forgoes the bond for the sake of aversion of potential legal liability, and the original uploader loses the remaining funds in the hosting contract. The hosting provider also suffers a small loss in their reputation score. Of course nobody would stop you to spin up any kind of website based on the infrastructure and host your own materials but you would do so at your own risk. Pretty thoughtful system. But in my opinion it's very complicated ... Will there be an intuitive interface? Will it be more profitable for people to work with you, but not with YouTube? Regarding your first question : Of course our goal is to make it intuitive and user friendly. User experience and user interface are a really important part of the ecosystem and adoption, that is on the list Regarding your second question: I can't comment on profitability . Everyone is at different stages I say continue to do what you do best on the platform that you are currently at where your subscribers and followers are and also try the Viewly Demo and the platform.

Nice idea! There are a few more video platforms. But competition is healthy, so the more the merryer. I'll keep an eye on this. Good luck with the project!
Thank you klofanwik! Yes, without a healthy competition there would be no progress in any area. Here are some other snippets of information : Allows ads No User friendly Yes Video Marketplace Yes Moderation/Flags Community based Social economy Yes ( likes, comments, etc) Pretty scanty information ... Yes it is that is why I called it a snippet of information because it's very condensed . The whitepaper has a lot more information available and you can really see the vision taking form : https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf

Will there be an opportunity to make a live broadcast? For example, as in Livepeer. If there will be both video storage, and an output to a live broadcast - it will be a masterpiece. Livestreaming is not in our near future goals, let's make the first part work very good, which is hosting pre-recorded videos. As the technology progresses adding livestream might be an options, but that is for the developers to decide when that option is stable and reliable. As you know livestreaming it's a bit troublesome even with centralised servers give that many places don't have enough bandwidth to support a good experience. Also Livepeer positions itself as an infrastructure provider not as a video sharing platform. Oh, I think your project is very good because it involve to media. Will have a big community to support you. But I'm afraid about your platform, can it enough to manage a huge digital data?
Currently the Alpha works on IPFS and that works well for now, of course if you look at the whitepaper https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf you will notice that the end goal is using hosting nodes capable enough to do the work necessary ( resources and bandwidth ) and introduce them into a marketplace from where the uploaders can choose a hosting node of their preference at a minimal cost. Everything looks fine, BUT. What if you don't earn enough money without advertising? What if subscribers can't pay a lot? The bulk of bloggers now receive money only through advertising ... This is interesting...
The way I see it is yes, a lot of content creators depend on the ad revenue but clearly that isn't enough because you also need ad placement for example ( introducing a product from a sponsor in your video ) to make at least a decent living. Last I have read the average content creator makes about $1/1000 views if he is lucky and his video is not put side and demonitized because it's not "advertiser friendly" In my personal optinion, if we take a good look an average of $1/1000 views is not a lot, if only 10 people would put $0.10 ( through likes, comments, sponsorships, patronage style, etc ) ( 0.10% ) said content creator would make at least the same amount as they would have adverts on.

Thanks for this, Youtube definitely needs a competitor and what better way for a decentralized one utilizing blockchain.
I also have an idea - add live streaming to viewly!
I would love that, too !

Looks like an interesting project! How do you feel about rolling out your own coin, instead of relying on the Ethereum network for token distribution? I certainly won't invest if it's an Ethereum token, because there are way too many of them already, and I don't like Ethereum.
I think if there is your own coin on the blockchain, this can also be used as an incentive payment method for content creators later, so you'll need your own blockchain+coin anyway. Why not distribute those coins in an ICO right away to the ICO investors?
Also please consider switching to Slack or Discord, not everybody has a mobile phone to join the Telegram platform. Slack and Discord also work on mobile, but don't require a phone number.
"Selling pressure", as you are noting it in your whitepaper, certainly won't be a problem if you make a PoS coin with 5% per year, for example. It is an incentive for people to run nodes on the network, which in turn could also be used for CDN functionality etc.
Any answers? Hello Gandalf, a lot of these questions can be answered by our developers, please take a moment and visit our Telegram channel and ask them . Thank you As for the Discord part I will propose it to the rest of te team. Thank you again for taking the time to read our thread.

I've been hearing a lot of FUD from early investors. I hope the Viewly team addresses this and finds a way to make this whole ICO process fair for everyone.
Hi Andi, I would like to ask you to email stefan ( at } view.ly if you have any concerns. Thank you !

I personally don't bother with Airdrops but do love a good bounty. The hardest part of them is figuring out which is a good project with potential. Then the second hardest .. to hodl or to dump. When you decide to sell, has such an impact on whether you make any money or not. Good luck
Glad to hear you are looking for good bounties, please take a look at Viewly's bounties. More to come. https://alpha.bounty0x.io/bounties/host/Viewly

Will there be a roadmap added to the website?

I would opt out for the HP Omen series. Probably the best value that money can buy when it comes to gaming. And I would disagree with people saying that i3 is actually a good processor for gaming. I5 is known to be the best for the money but it wouldn't do any harm if it was i7 ) Good luck with whatever you end up buying!

I hope bitcoin could recover from its downfall today, decenber 22 2017. I see it is collapsing from $17k to $12k and still going down. It would be better if it recovers after christmas season so I could celebrate the new year with greater earnings.
I am hopeful too, we had like 5 crashes this year if I remember correctly; anyway see it as a sale. Have a good Christmas everyone 👍
