There is very little information on how the whole thing works. How can the content be on the blockchain and on the web st the same time? Who could possibly videos be stored on the blockchain (seems close to impossible to me) and if not where would they be stored? Being there no whitepaper which explains the tech this project is still quite a mystery. Also very little community involvement in this thread.
We share all information related to the project on medium.
https://medium.com/@pedityTo answer your questions:-
1. How can the data be stored on the blockchain.
Ans - We posted this on July 1 when we decided to code from centralized to decentralized platform
https://medium.com/@pedity/alpha-closure-pedi-wallet-roadmap-for-q3-q4-7fe6c1c45897The data can be on web and blockchain both at the same time using ipfs (ipfs.io). Data structure is IPLD (ipld.io)
Regarding the flow of data, you can check it out live on blockchain (v0.1 is on testnet hence you will see data on testnet)
http://testnet.stellarchain.io/address/GBU4HMAZXRZJPHJVAYVTWQBSVNFSIZ2VN3WXOB3M37BP5IGUS5GDOIHSThe memo field is base64 encoded, so you will have to decode it from base64 and you will see the actual hash.
2. How can video be stored on blockchain itself ?
It is possible not directly but using IPFS, check the above reply about ipfs.io and how data can move in decentralized web.
3. Being there no whitepaper which explains the tech this project is still quite a mystery.
Ans. Our whitepaper is old but can be accessed on below link always as it doesn't explain technical aspects on how things work.
https://pedity.com/Pedity_Whitepaper.pdfWe will update this information more on github with our releases and since we plan to make code open source, this will be more open to read
4. Very little community is involved
Ans. We are small team and we haven't done any advertising. We have been focused only on work. We have done project release, wallet release and updates. Advertising is very important and we will do that after v0.3 when the code is more stable .
Let me know any other question you have in regards to anything about this project.
This is a good answer. The tech is a bit too complex for my personal immediate understanding, but at least now I know what I have to read to go deeper into it. I'll stay tuned, and wait for the new whitepaper.
