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 you have the really unfortunate event that your twitter and domains are continuously seized, why do we need the links to some central domains or pointers when we have a decentralized blockchain that is designed to prevent such point of attack? Are the links for IPFS hash's stored on the PoS VIDZ blockchain so any client can theoretically serve as the interface or "webpage" replacement once fully synced? Links, link status ratings, submit/list/accept bounties - how much of that is expected to be automated via blockchain? i.e. purely conceptually, if devs disappear, can it still work? I think it's great that it requires no third party software via the website, I would like to be aware that there is the last resort which just creates the website inside the vidz wallet requiring no dns. And the wallet itself could look for the latest working website host for easier access. It being open source would alleviate a lot of concerns already. Ability to use vidz tokens for community link voting, bounty mechanisms, maybe optional auto tipping a small amount for ipfs nodes used, etc... in the wallet would add tremendous incentive for running the nodes/staking which would in turn make the network stronger and keep it alive no matter what. How far off am I? What is current incentive for running node.

p.s. to the traders, stop spamming about price plz. If the above works as such, with no point of failure, this is a 100m usd cap level coin, 1000x current value, we're going to reach page billion with updates for every fraction of percent....

Domain seizing isn't an issue nor does any form of our plan require Twitter after all this isn't an issue for even centralized streaming website, TPB, etc. If Twitter were to ban us, that's unfortunate but doesn't affect any of our model. I've mentioned before, there are actually easier ways to go about doing what you've mentioned then directly needing to store the information on the blockchain while still retaining decentralization through IPFS and it's hard to say at this time what route we'll go but most likely answer is a hybrid solution (leveraging both IPFS and blockchain) as that's always been our approach; To get the best out of whatever said technology has to offer and this was part of the reason we did early integration for IPFS.

The ideal goal is to work towards something you described where the entire product can function without intervention but one step at a time. Looking at things from a practical point of view, a semi-centralized product isn't a bad thing in comparison to other projects where they say "thanks for your money, now give us 2 years to develop the product" and you're left biting your nails wondering if they're actually making any progress since you can't see but more importantly feel that progress.

In short, what you've described is possible but will take time.

That's a fantastic answer. Thanks for all the information. I was thrown off at first by centralization part, but it totally makes sense to develop decentralization as the platform evolves and then you get real feedback on various parts of it. Trying out the ipfs streams for various movies up now was the selling point for the people I shared this with, just to see the goal visually and priorities. Good luck!
