🎥 PureVidz.net: Decentralized Streaming WebTorrents 🎥 VIDZ - Trading Now 🎥

[Zer0Sum]

Why does it need to be scalable when it will never get that big to need it will it?
How much will vidz be worth if it scales and people like uploading movies there?
is the price cheap now?

This can be huge, i had my doubts with the torrent streaming but now...
Worth of Vidz is speculative, it depends on what marketcap and buyback are you counting it with, and price is relative concept that depends on the markets.

With such a low inflation and such a high rate of buy back to burn and keep of the books it is so hard to give a prediction isn't it.

There is potential for it to make some holders millionaires with a short year or two. I haven't had a hard on for a coin for a very long time like I do with this and my few million of vids.

It is far to cheap currently and the ICO was just stupidly low and any price until thousands in buybacks is not even worth looking at. Under thousand Satoshi won't be what this is valued in it will be cents and dollars.

Those who sell will regret.

Why this coin is only on two scam exchanges? Yobit i will never use again and cryptopia is so shit

Yobit has been running two years and had no problems lol Sure they add a bunch of coins but that is what the traders want. I thing cryptopia is one of the better exchanges and not sure why people don't like it. I have to say I don't use it either but I can't put my finger on it as the withdrawals are instant, can't complain about that. I'm not biased I'll trade anywhere if thee is money to be made. When we by low that can be on any exchange, ROI doesn't car where you first brought your coins in just matter show much and needless to say.

Yobit is actually brilliant... if you view it as a casino (not an exchange).

So you get 1000s of degenerates in Russia, China and India...
To gamble on daily shitcoin pumps, which is infinitely more interesting than any retarded dice game.

The Yobit Casino has revenues > $1,000,000 annually. What would an ICO be worth? $10-20 million?

I recommend advertising it as decentralized netflix. Torrents are associated with long wait times, risk, complexity. Netflix is associated with click and play, user friendliness, and speed. Can always add "but wait, there's more" to comment on other uses for it later.

wouldnt "PureVidz" fit so well someone could think of rename it to like torrentflix, vidflix or even blockflix

Isn't Netfix associated with the payment for viewing content?

I don't think anyone even remembers how much netflix costs because it's like less than a roll of toilet paper for unlimited content. In fact, vidz library should be able to surpass netflix library easier not having to deal with licenses.

Oh no. Im sure I pay $9.99 a month for nexflix and I have the credit card bills to prove it but compared to paying $90 a month for my tv channels nexflix is a dollar store bargain but I think giving the time purevidz could be just as big not in terms of value $ but value to my every day usage.

We need like two announcement threads for each coin - one for price moontards that helps no one and one for actual Q&A and discussion so people can learn anything about the project.

What happens if website shuts down? Will the client have one hosted on ipfs so we're not reliant on centralized dns & hosting?

We're actually planning to address this around the same time the new UI goes live we'll be setting up our portal website purevidz.stream, while it's fine if people want to keep going directly to purevidz.net lets suppose the unfortunate case scenario that the domain is seized and we need to move to a new one like many video streaming services do, say we move to purevidz.world our portal purevidz.stream will be updated to route you to the new site.

The problem with using IPFS for what you mentioned is it's not quite at that point where it can be used for something like that because of server-side computation. However, it's not entirely impossible.

An example of how something crude but "useful" could be achieved by doing this is setting up a secondary Twitter, we'll call it @PureVidz_IPFS for sake of argument. Regularly, a bot will automatically index the content into a single *.html page which will be a simple table of the movie data and the link to the IPFS hash or magnet link. This page is then synced to IPFS and then the hash for that page is tweeted. Therefore even if the site really went offline, so long as you have any of the previous index IPFS hashes, you should have access to basically a crude copy of our database.

This can of course be heavily improved, but what I described above is a quick and hacky way of doing what you asked. It will definitely be something we consider doing in the future as we grow.

If anyone wants I can upload Dragon Ball Super English Dubbed Episodes as they are released.

Anime is an interesting topic. From what I'm aware, there's really no good API providers for meta data about anime. The best I can think of since most people use it is MAL but the problem is their API is very dated and far from useful. We'd have to write a manual scraper that parses their HTML and uses HTTP web requests and convert it to a useful data format we can work with.

Specifically what I'm talking about is when you're uploading the content on the site right now you search the movie/tv series title and then it auto-fills in the meta data for you... it's not possible to do this at this time for most anime especially newer or currently airing ones without English dubs without doing what I described above.

Later on, we'll make a submission where a user could fill in all this information manually, but if we're realistic most uploaders won't bother doing that. Long story short, I'll look into native support for anime some time after we have the new UI up and ready to go.

The beauty of this coin is *** you never leave your browser *** to one-click stream content...
Now they are talking about people installing IPFS and running nodes to keep content pinned.

The last thing VIDZ needs is endless "feature creep" and "acronym overload".... KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid
Get a clean, one-click site working ASAP, man... or someone will quickly fork this and take the market.

If WebRTC "doesn't scale" becomes a problem... VIDZ will be up 100x.

Nobody has to install IPFS nodes to keep content pinned just like nobody is forced to install a WebTorrent compatible client like Vuze. You want to help the network? That's great, and you can do this by seeding content on WebTorrent or IPFS as it's common courtesy to seed the content you like because if nobody was seeding it to begin with, you would've never got to download it and watch/use it either.

If you don't want to seed anything or set up IPFS then don't. You can just use the site as we expect most users will but fortunately, not everyone thinks like this and people see the web as a community otherwise torrents would've been dead a long time ago and never caught traction.

Lastly, WebRTC is getting better with every revision of HTML

Agreed.
Quick easy and cheap...

Just to watch you wont need to use ipfs from what I understand, its just another way to upload content.

Yes, this is correct.

When is the site expected to be back upline?

[Pure_Vidz]

When is the site expected to be back upline?

Our goal is to have everything back online tomorrow with support for IPFS added. This will not be a visible change to users of the site (except for submitting new media) and will result in media loading and playing much faster than the old site. We still fully support webtorrents but are looking into the alternative p2p delivery system due to its increased reliability, scalability and responsiveness.

With webtorrents it generally took 10-30 seconds for a video to play. With IPFS we are looking at 1-10 seconds in most cases with less issues of dead links.


As mentioned earlier in the thread, we will also be looking into other p2p distribution methods so that as technology advances, our site will function fully with as many relevant technologies as possible. These improvements will NOT change how the site functions but rather making it easier for the site to grow with our userbase.

In fact, it is amazing you guys are making use of the latest technologies. Its really nice to see such passionate and highly competent people at work. I would like to express my full respect to you guys.

I have never considered IPFS to be technology mature enough to base something on it. But I am no expert in this area, so I would like to ask you: how would you estimate the maturity level of that technology, and do you think it is going to be as flawless and polished as WebTorrents are? In general, I developed skeptic approach to everything originated from crypto (including IPFS) - meaning I agree there are great ideas, but most of them are just experimental. Now you are going to utilize the concept for real working system of supposedly big scale. So is my question - do you think the IPFS tech is out of purely experimental stage?

[debtstack]

I have tested it out and mkv files Do indeed work. It is cool to have the ability to take a hash and stream any video through mpv or whatever you use.

I get the feeling that purevidz is moving into not just a streaming service, but also an IPFS Media DataBase, which I don't think anyone currently has. Also, its acronym is IMDB, just an interesting find.

And to he guy above me, webtorrents is in beta and IPFS I think is still in alpha.

Sidenote, don't try and upload videos through the web app for IPFS, in the examples section is a clear way of uploading video through the terminal which works.

Something is going on with the MAIN PAGE? They must be tweaking stuff... but the Movies and TV Shows still load fine!

are the links to the content stored on the blockchain to prevent censorship?
