Why Viewly?
We are building a decentralized video platform because we believe
everyone should have the opportunity to share their creative work,
discover their fans and get paid, without corporate middleman,
pesky ads or personal privacy invasion.

Token Sale
TBA (join us on Telegram or sign up on https://view.ly for updates)

Bounty Program
We will be allocating a hefty amount of token supply for the community contributors.
Generic bounties such as translations, bug reports, social media sharing, etc. will be available on https://bounty.view.ly.
For people who would like to join Viewly as community contributors, please reach out to us on Telegram.

Prototype
We have a small prototype app running on top of Steem and IPFS.
Please keep in mind that this is not indicative of what the Viewly product aims to be.

Sounds a good project, I'm waiting for more information about this project, I'll see this thread a few days ahead, especially information about ICO, hopefully run as a concept, and good luck

[fmiboy]

Very promising project, looking forward to it and token sale news...

Checking out the Website, Whitepaper and FAQ is a good start.

If you're really interested, join us on Telegram, most non-public resources get shared there (prototype app, token dynamics, etc).

[aitorp6]

Sound interesting, I'm going to read the whitepaper.

I have some doubts about how the videos will be stored...

[talesfromthecrypt]

nice idea , but what a big volume of datas 

[viewly]

Sound interesting, I'm going to read the whitepaper.

I have some doubts about how the videos will be stored...

Check out the WP for storage and CDN proposal.

In a nutshell:

• Publishers pay for storage and CDN
• Professional hosting providers compete for ranking and capacity
• Storage is validated trough proof-of-spacetime (adapted from Filecoin), CDN service is validated trough elected oracles (PoA)
• All of the available data is open, so that all parties can make best decisions possible

[YouShallNotPass]

Nice concept and also this could greatly disrupt the current video streaming industry if properly executed. Good luck on your project.

[rublix]

We know some of the team on a personal level, this will be a great project.

total supply?

[coin_pwr]

Will viewly be its own blockchain or running off EOS/Steem/Eth?

[/quote]

I agree with this because every one need place to share their creativity and maybe Viewly is the place

[viewly]

Will viewly be its own blockchain or running off EOS/Steem/Eth?

Excellent question.

Originally we planned to build Viewly as a fork of Steem, however the most likely path for the time being is for Viewly to be hosted on an existing chain with large distribution / network effect.
There are some trade-offs here, between liquidity and technical suitability for the problems at hand.


Given the retail nature of the project, the blockchain part needs to be abstracted away from the end user.
So in the end, as long as liquidity and a bridge between conventional means and crypto are in place, it won't matter much.

[Tactical Genius]

Apart from the app being based on blockchain whatelse can  really make you a big time competitor of youtube?

[darkenedsoul]

Can you give us any information on the Token Sale or their use case? I am always willing to invest in a promising project if I can find a way to get my money back. 

[viewly]

are you sure you can compete with youtube?
what is the advantage if using your platform?

I see all the advantages of your platform already on youtube. the only thing I see youtube is just not using blockchain technology and I don't think it's necessary

and if viewed from the amount of traffic youtube seems to be difficult to run your platform

I would encourage you to read the monetization models part of the whitepaper.

The theory behind Viewly is that while ads work reasonably well for celebrities (with millions of viewers), they don't scale as well to most niches, despite the high quality content creators and their loyal viewers.

We are highly focused on this segment, allowing quality content creators to supplement, or perhaps in many cases supersede their YT income.

[ntsdm1]

i was always told---
when you Dream-- Dream Big!
going after youtube's shares is not a really sound approach!

[viewly]

Can you give us any information on the Token Sale or their use case? I am always willing to invest in a promising project if I can find a way to get my money back. 

Monetization models for creators:
 - Private Channels (like Netflix or Spotify)
 - Recurring Patreonage (for perks, status, commerce)
 - Frictionless Micropayments (as an upvote or like)
 - Sponsorships

Token flows:
Businesses -> Content creators
Viewers -> Content Creators
Content Creators -> Decentralized Storage/CDN Providers and Oracles

The token flows need to be tight, to avoid unnecessary market pressure.

There are plenty of tokens above $100M mkt cap with no users, or use cases other than speculation.
We hope to bring crypto to non-technical people, and address the problems in the UGC space that have been bothering us for years.

[viewly]

i was always told---

going after youtube's shares is not a really sound approach!

I think the odds of Viewly replacing YouTube are very slim, but that is OK, because the meaningfulness and the size of the creator segment we're targeting is full-filling enough.

[deimus]

I've been following this project (and it's rivals) for a while and I believe Viewly has the greatest chance of success among the decentralized video projects. So far it's the only platform I've found that is both properly decentralized as well as taking steps to combat the major potential downfall of such projects - such as copyright violation.

It remains to be seen whether it can scale to rival the big guns of video, but even if it doesn't it has the potential to provide a much needed home for content creators that don't have thousands of followers.

[eth_cad2]

A great project and verified:

Looking forward to the progress, been using their alpha for a few weeks now. They have no definite ICO date yet but will be participating!

Same Question people asked before......WHAT IS THE TOTAL SUPPLY!!??!?!?!? It's not in the Whitepaper!!!

100 million

[pumz]

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.

Thanks for the Reply Viewly!!

[lilaj4de]

And how will streamers be paid? Will it be for clicks on each video, followers? In case they will be paid with tokens, correct?

[forzendiablo]

this looks really interesting, youtube should be already decentralized and stop the censorship

[jurglic]

And how will streamers be paid? Will it be for clicks on each video, followers? In case they will be paid with tokens, correct?

Yes, the nodes will be paid with VIEW tokens based on availability and storage of videos

[BluBeast]

100 Million is a respectable quantity of coin supply.  With Bitcoin at 21 Million, I look at this amount (5x that) and see a positive investment on top of a promising team.  In terms of the chain it will live on, EOS is an awesome idea. I have not seen a large scale project come forward and talk about building on top of EOS.  I’ve slowed my ICO activity a lot since Gnosis, but I would buy in. Long term hold.  It’s going to take a minute to get this plane off the ground.

[mfgex]

Good concept.  YouTube has begun a serious censorship campaign the last few months by way of de-monetizing any content it (or its bots) deems inappropriate.   Ad revenue for many YouTubers has plummeted, and many are in desperate need of an alternative means to get their content out there with the possibility of making money.  I hope Viewly can live up to the need it has the enormous potential to fill.

[wpalczynski]

Already a few projects with that decentralized video platform. What makes you different from them ? (e.g. Viuly)

[althedge]

Interesting project but very technically challenging
 It's going to take a huge amount of data storage and data transfer and I can't think of anything including ipfs is really suitable long-term. CDN might not be possible because of the huge data transfer fees for video. Ipfs last time I tested it (a few months back) is quite slow and buggy. It'll be interesting to see how this develops. Some more technical details on how you could scale a system would be interesting. Good luck with the project.

[U]

Where did these uploaded videos stored,on view.ly's centralized server?

[viewly]

Where did these uploaded videos stored,on view.ly's centralized server?

Hello U,

The content will be stored by hosting nodes, the final product will be using a Content Delivery Network - hosting providers, as dictated by a decentralized hosting marketplace (TBA). We are also considering EOS storage.

Power to the People: How Viewly is revolutionizing the online video industry for the benefit of content creators

Hello Bitcointalk community,
 

A new blog post is up
Read the entire article and follow us on our new Medium blog channel:
 
http://bit.ly/ViewlyPowerToThePeople


Here are some highligths :

Despite an estimated  annual revenue of close to $800 million, only the top 10% of YouTube creators see any significant profit. These channels are typically backed by corporate interests or major advertisers, putting them at a meaningful advantage ahead of the vast majority of content creators, who do not have time to invest.

A Brand Based on Quality Content, Not Algorithms
Building on the philosophy of a patronage business model, View.ly is the first online video platform to use a decentralized content delivery network (CDN) that will allow high quality creators with a small, medium, or large following to build an audience based on the quality of their work rather than wait for YouTube to use arbitrary algorithms regarding view, watch‐time, and likes to put their videos in front of potential subscribers.


Transparency, Immutability, Security, and Community
By using the blockchain and decentralizing network operations, as well as using a token system that is built on the blockchain, there is far less of a risk for security breaches as well as misappropriation of fans’ donations. Since there is no centralized body holding and managing payments, fans can be sure that their tokens are going directly to the creators and vice versa.
The blockchain application also serves as a reward, synchronization and enforcement layer for the peer‐to‐peer hosting.

Thank you for following us!
A new announcement will be coming after 24 hours.

[viewly]

Munly (marketing @ Viewly) will be at the Blockchain World Conference in Bangkok, Thailand on Dec 4th.

Anyone who is already attending and wants to meet up can coordinate by PM via telegram https://t.me/fathamburger or emailing munly@view.ly

Why mentioned "Youtube" ? Is there anything to do directly with youtube? From what i read about this project, it is a decentralized video sharing platfom. It's a good concept anyway.

[moon539]

why is your service better than youtube? literally youtube allows everyone share their videos and creations. or your main purpose is a censorship-free service? how will you deal with porn then?

[PiJellyPin]

i don't really like the layout of website :/ looks ugly if the website looked more modern and "flatter" then i might have used it but not atm :/

It's up on the web page since the very beginning, changing the entire thing really soon. I am really glad you like the concept, you should stay tuned for more information to follow, I think you will like it even more.  

why is your service better than youtube? literally youtube allows everyone share their videos and creations. or your main purpose is a censorship-free service? how will you deal with porn then?

Hi there moon. We are not saying we are better than anyone, but we will aim to be the best. It's not censorship free service and we have a lot of ideas on how to fight adult or infringing content. If you want to fully understand the idea behind Viewly I suggest you check out the FAQs and the Whitepaper which can be found on our web site. Thank you

Hey there Crypto_Enthusiast! Thanks for the interest! Yes, the pre-ICO happened in October and the hard-cap was reached. The ICO it's most likely going to happen late January/early February 2018, but no exact date is set yet. Stay tuned, there will be a lot of more updates soon!

It looks very interesting project with working small prototype application to understand in real time how this decentralized steaming going to work. I will be waiting for more information to be released about crowdsale and project itself. We need everything decentralized for greater future.

[TudorOzy]

I need to read and understand further.  It seems you have big deal. Definitely you come with complete preparation because you have ambition to compete youtube

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

In general, our strategy is to focus on quality, niche content creators first, consequentially this should drive viewers growth as well.
So we will offer creators better tools to connect with fans, and different monetization options without pesky ads.
The idea is to offer an alternative way to do things.

[TudorOzy]

When will your Wallet App be fully ready?

Hi, further information on this will be available in the future, as we get close to the vision that the team has. Please join us on our Telegram group for updates. Thank you

Viewly embraces creator monetization on revolutionary platform

One of the biggest drawbacks of sharing videos on most major, centralized online video platforms is the ability for creators to make money.


Viewly, however, provides a solution to this problem with our patronage model that significantly minimizes the role of the middleman.

To accomplish this, Viewly utilizes blockchain and dedicated VIEW token to facilitate these monetization mechanisms and ensure a more direct flow of funding from fans to creators, secure and safe from controlling middlemen and their demonetization practices.

We are releasing a new bounty, it's called Introduce-a-Creator

Many of you have been asking and we’ve delivered! Our next community event will award VIEW tokens for any creator that you manage to get interested in Viewly

We want you to help us spread the word and tag content creators, that you believe should be good for Viewly.

The ideal creators will be the ones that enjoy a passionate following, fans that are willing to champion them but are struggling in some way under a broken system.

More info on how to join, on our Medium blog: http://bit.ly/Viewly-Introduce-a-Creator

Giving 50 claps on our Medium blog will make the post be seen by more people.

The Problem with Patronage Platforms

Patronage business models’ ideology is noble, their policies and method of delivery have cause some major problems, Viewly aims to rectify these problems.

The main problem with the majority of these platforms is that they are still centralized, meaning the platform itself is still in charge of taking a cut of pay, the amount and method in which it was collected being a recent point of contention.

These problems mainly lie in the fact that creators are not only limited in the way in which they can set up incentive programs, but also in the ways that supporters are getting the somewhat shaft end of the deal.

Most platforms only allows creators to make money by fans paying for exclusive content. These same platforms also does little to promote its creators or facilitate community building.

Let's say a creator on Viewly chooses to remove friction from the viewers' payment process by displaying ads next to the video and interstitial during playback. Finding and managing advertisers takes a lot of time, so the creator decides to outsource it. The company who is outsourced to becomes successful and decides to streamline the process, creating its own platform that connects advertisers and creators.

That company is called Google.

Looks like a fun project, but it doesn't seem you have a big enough team to handle it.

You should work better on the marketing campaign 

How many active developers work on this project? 

[Cashwave]

A very promising project in the offing. But I think there are other blockchain projects with a similar goal.

Thanks for the kind words Big0ne! After the recent team updates I am pretty sure that the team is not just big enough but also capable of handling the project, but we can never know how or when will we expand.   Regarding the marketing campaign, it is about to officially start really soon, so you should expect some updates on that field. If you have any other thoughts or questions feel free to reply here or join our Telegram group: t.me/viewly.

Thank you Cashwave, we really appreciate your interest. Yes, you are right - there are some projects based on blockchain but from my point of view competition is always a healthy thing, isn't it? If it wasn't for competition then how would we strive to become the best? Don't forget to follow us through the social media to stay updated and also join our Telegram group for a chat!

When are you going to work on Viewly alpha version to make it better than what dtube already have? 

[MarkoViewly]

When are you going to work on Viewly alpha version to make it better than what dtube already have? 

Hey Big0ne! Hard work is being put in the platform and it won't be in alpha stage anymore since that version is not in active development anymore. The new version is being built from scratch and it's gonna be a lot better than the alpha version.

[FanAra]

Do you have a roadmap?

[Big0ne]

Do you have a roadmap?

This is good to hear  

I recommend you to monitor your "official" threads and social channels more often, so people don't need to wait to get the answer.

Tudor is doing a great job on Telegram, but I don't see much updates here.

At least you could post your articles from Medium here Bitcointalk and on Reddit and where not to get the maximum exposure.

Just my 2c  

[wanener]

Sounds Good
Hope you best
waiting for more info

[LordCoder]

I'd not be using a copyrighted brand on your projects title, it's just not professional.

[CoinMenX]

when does project releas ICO and bounty?

[Big0ne]

Viewly has potential but as I said earlier, better communication is the key to future success.

[viewly]

At Viewly, our fans enjoy videos without ads and our creators don’t have to worry about their content being overshadowed by corporate interests.

These advertisements distract from rich video content and decreases the viewer experience. This is because major online video platforms are almost 100% reliant on ad revenue and therefore care more about advertising dollars than they do content creators.

If a viewer clicks on an ad (intentionally or not), he or she will be redirected away from your content. Even if they do return, their viewing experience will have been interrupted and not have been as rich.

are the tokens from the pre-ico distributed?
I just realized that I never got mine.

[viewly]

As we gear up for 2018, we’d like to take this opportunity to share the Viewly roadmap with you, our supporters, as we feel that it’s important to not only recap on what we’ve accomplished and where we’re going, but also for you to see how completing each step is an integral layer in building the foundation of the first decentralized online video platform in the world where viewers can really support their favorite creators. You can check out the roadmap by clicking this link: http://bit.ly/ViewlyRoadmapBTC

[bangtansoyeondan]

guys does viewly have some content creators that are seriously considering using the platform?

[Namiks]

So what makes it different to DTube?

[Gandalf86]

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.

[viewly]

Conferences are always a great place to meet in person. If you happen to be in London between 22nd and 24th of January, we would be very happy to meet you.

Next week the Viewly team will join some of the world’s top blockchain experts in London for London Blockchain Week 2018 at the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel.

Most notably, Stefan Furlan will be introducing Viewly to the blockchain community in an exclusive session on the 23rd of January.

In the evening, we will be celebrating with an informal community social gathering which will be held at a venue in London, for details on how to attend and meet some of the team , please follow this link :  http://bit.ly/ViewlyInLondonBTC

We look forward to seeing you there!

Whitelisting is up! Make sure you apply on time and don’t miss out: https://view.ly/

[Nijeltheboss]

That sounds good. But where will all these videos be stored? Will the content be free for viewing, or should I forcibly sacrifice the author to see his work?

[Nastenasl4stena]

Wow, very interesting idea! But if i upload a video to the Viewly - where it will be saved? If it decentralized platform - it must be saved in my device only. Or not?

[JamesJazz82]

The idea is very interesting! Now TV is moving to the second level, and media platforms are gaining more and more attention)) I have not yet seen such an interesting view on this direction. I will be sure to follow the project and its development! I would like to see more information on the forum ...
Good luck, guys!

[evilcyclope]

For me is not very clear the situation with advertising? because now many people make good money on it, both the form and the users)

[uservalera]

yes, if you will realize your idea, it can be a grandiose project of world level.
Your team looks strong and prepared, I think you can do it!

[viewly]

Hello Nijeltheboss , thank you for your inquiry.

The developers are in the process of refreshing the Alpha, and  are working on Viewly Demo.

At this point video files are stored on IPFS. All video content will be free to watch but there is one monetization option which content creators could take advantage of in the sense that they could also create private channels for their most loyal fans.

[viewly]

Hello Gandalf86 , thank you for your interest in Viewly.

We will likely be shipping on Ethereum before EOS, however we are very interested in switching to a more scalable solution in the upcoming years.

-----
One question from a community member could apply here also:
"how long will the VIEW token be an ERC-20 ETH token? Will it convert to a coin if y'all decide to build your own chain? What would it be if it is decided to use EOS chain?"

--r:
We have a few mechanisms for switching to EOS. Its a bit trickier when tokens are held by 3rd parties, but still doable.
One potential solution is a proof of burn contract, where users can destroy their ERC-20 tokens and register the EOS address atomically. Then, the tokens are minted to the registered address in 1:1 basis on EOS chain.
-----

The latest information is that:
1. Tokens will be minted into the contributors wallets after the tokensale has concluded up to 7 days after AML check.
2. Tokens will become liquid up to 7 days after the tokensale has finished.

Do you think it will be able to compete with Youtube in the future?

I think it will not be possible to compete with the YouTube for a long time, because YouTube has been developing for a decade, millions of users, billions of views. Hype, money, advertising - everything is there. Luring flighters to another platform will be problematic. But over time, everything can change when people understand that there is a service without advertising, without garbage, without waiting. Where everyone shares their stories without any problems.

But over time, everything can change when people understand that there is a service without advertising, without garbage, without waiting. Where everyone shares their stories without any problems.

I don’t t thinkso, now people willingly support something new, if it is worthy of it. If the developers make a really interesting product - success is assured. Now everyone is filming a video, it's just a hype - to shoot all around. So if Viewly will do it comfortably - then the competition is guaranteed.

[sharkman20]

I do not understand what is decentralization? than it specifically will be different for example from the instagram? there are pictures and videos. Everything is fast and without advertising. Explain.

[MaksonJoe]

Explain pls, for what will people get money at your platform? For videos, for views? For subscribers?

[andiko]

I do not quite understand why a project needs a token?

[RomanBelich]

I suppose to raise funds for the development of the project ...

[TomHurst]

[lazoguzzling]

The presence of a token in the project confirms the seriousness of the development team. They know what to do and how, and you, just support them. Therefore, a token is needed.

[Klennox]

I do not quite understand why a project needs a token?

Join this question! As I can see, there are some representative of project here at the forum? Help us with our questions please!
But project seems very nice! Interesting to see the your site or app.

[tiCeR]

Is this going to be an ICO and what's the timeframe for that? Also from a technical standpoint, will blockchain be able to cope with the massive load that comes with storing and playing videos on a global scale?

[Joseph007]

Is this going to be an ICO and what's the timeframe for that? Also from a technical standpoint, will blockchain be able to cope with the massive load that comes with storing and playing videos on a global scale?

I think most of the load will be distributed between the capacities of users' devices, or somehow similarly. As far as I know, this is what is called decentralization.

[Josen5000]

You will need a fairly complicated software package to run this resource on all modern platforms ... but if this is implemented it can be very relevant.

[MarkoViewly]

I do not understand what is decentralization? than it specifically will be different for example from the instagram? there are pictures and videos. Everything is fast and without advertising. Explain.

Hello sharkman20! Thank you for the question.

Here's a brief explanation about decentralization, taken from Wikipedia:

Decentralization is the process of distributing or dispersing functions, powers, people or things away from a central location or authority.

Also, we are not aiming to be a social network so we will be completely different from Instagram. Viewly is a decentralized video platform which is powered by the blockchain, focused on its content creators and eliminating one of the biggest problems content creators encounter - demonetization. And yes, the platform will be ad free.

Explain pls, for what will people get money at your platform? For videos, for views? For subscribers?

Hello MaksonJoe, thank you for your question!

On Viewly, creators build their "tribe" of dedicated fans, and receive Patreon like support through frictionless micropayments and subscriptions. Creators can also sign sponsorship deals that are in-line with their fanbase best interests—with the on-chain escrow smart contracts, without middlemen. You can read more about this on our Medium blog here: https://medium.com/view-ly/solving-the-money-problem-viewly-embraces-creator-monetization-on-revolutionary-platform-e0f04fe414f8

I do not quite understand why a project needs a token?

Hello andiko, in our case - the VIEW Token will be used on Viewly to support and show love to creators!

Is this going to be an ICO and what's the timeframe for that? Also from a technical standpoint, will blockchain be able to cope with the massive load that comes with storing and playing videos on a global scale?

Hello tiCeR, thanks for the question.

The seed sale was ongoing in October and the hard cap was reached. There is a presale for strategic contributors that's ongoing at the moment until the 19th February - above 100 ETH. Then on the 20th and on the 21st February there will be a presale for whitelisted contributors - above 5 ETH. The public token sale starts on the 22nd February and it will last until the hard cap has been reached or until the 22nd March.

Videos are not stored on the blockchain, you actually only store the information regarding transactions and that relates to videos (hashes, etc). The technology is advancing.

[itranslate]

What will be the main source of profit for this project: advertising or maybe some payments for content from viewers? What are the incentives for content creators to download video on this platform?

[sharkman20]

That is, if on YouTube people get money for advertising, then people will earn money in Viewly simply on their videos? Do you shoot more - more money?

[vkolotun]

That is, if on YouTube people get money for advertising, then people will earn money in Viewly simply on their videos? Do you shoot more - more money?

I would like to learn more about the structure of the technology, I read all the materials, but I still did not understand how everything will be realized...

[jess4ever]

That is, if on YouTube people get money for advertising, then people will earn money in Viewly simply on their videos? Do you shoot more - more money?

Can people at their discretion transfer money to the author of the video they liked? But in my opinion this way you can not make a lot of money, but now the blogger's progesse implies the basic income.

[Klennox]

You will need a fairly complicated software package to run this resource on all modern platforms ... but if this is implemented it can be very relevant.

Write an application and a website - this is not the most difficult. It's much harder to run it through the blockchain

[TomHurst]

So it will not be a social network? Can not chat, leave comments?

[Narimann]

So it will not be a social network? Can not chat, leave comments?

I think they were referring to a social network such as facebook or instagram that is not familiar to us, it's rather just a service that lets you share with all your videos

The ability to comment on the video will be in any case, otherwise everything does not make sense if the guys can not leave their opinion. The main idea is not a difference in the possibilities of communication, etc., but that information will be stored and transmitted through our devices.

Then you need to ensure not only the high quality of software, but also the connection between devices...

At the moment, the speed of 4g is enough for the initial implementation of Viewly. You just need to create a new security protocol so that there is no data leakage from the phone.

[PoetOfTheFall]

Good idea! When do you plan to start pre-sale? Would there be discounts for investments more than 10k?

Too much competition from YouTube.

[Klennox]

Too much competition from YouTube.

Absolutely different platforms and requirements. This is a completely new technology, will translate the world of video blogging to a new, more modern and qualitative level. Who knows, maybe he will drive out Youtube in a couple of years. 

[LoreinMallin]

Too much competition from YouTube.

I think it was created not to compete, but to replace it. Alternatively, as an option, implement this technology into Youtube. It will be more convenient for users - they will not lose their accounts and content. And bloggers will get a number of new opportunities.

There the representative above wrote that this will not be a social network. I do not understand yet what it will be, but I like the lack of advertising.

[viewly]

What will be the main source of profit for this project: advertising or maybe some payments for content from viewers? What are the incentives for content creators to download video on this platform?

That is, if on YouTube people get money for advertising, then people will earn money in Viewly simply on their videos? Do you shoot more - more money?

There will be numerous video monezation models offered to content creators. If they do not find any of the default models fitting, they will be able to create their own monezitation model and use that one. They will also be able to sign sponsorship deals.

That is, if on YouTube people get money for advertising, then people will earn money in Viewly simply on their videos? Do you shoot more - more money?

I would like to learn more about the structure of the technology, I read all the materials, but I still did not understand how everything will be realized...

Hello vkolotun. Have you read through our whitepaper? https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf

That is, if on YouTube people get money for advertising, then people will earn money in Viewly simply on their videos? Do you shoot more - more money?

Can people at their discretion transfer money to the author of the video they liked? But in my opinion this way you can not make a lot of money, but now the blogger's progesse implies the basic income.

Hello jess4ever. Yes, people will be able to transfer VIEW Tokens directly to the content creators for a video of theirs they liked. The user will be able to choose how many tokens he wants to transfer to a certain content creator and this way each user can reward a content creator. Also, there will be a minimum set.

You will need a fairly complicated software package to run this resource on all modern platforms ... but if this is implemented it can be very relevant.

Write an application and a website - this is not the most difficult. It's much harder to run it through the blockchain

This is why we have the best possible devs out there!

So it will not be a social network? Can not chat, leave comments?

There will of course be the option to leave comments on videos! Also, the creator/uploader will be able to disable comments on any of his videos. 

Good idea! When do you plan to start pre-sale? Would there be discounts for investments more than 10k?

Hello PoetOfTheFall. There is an ongoing pre-sale at the moment, and there are a lot of bonuses involved! You can find out more by reading this post from our Medium blog: https://medium.com/view-ly/viewly-token-sale-3ac187206174

Hey Lucas, why the long face? Competition is always healthy!

You're right, thats very important to get support here at the forum.
Listen, what is the fundamental difference between the video sharing applications that are now and Viewly?

Cool idea, get rid of advertising and expensive hosting! You can do creativity without thinking about the upcoming problems with advertising

[manox.dave]

Yes, but most of the high-quality content on video hosting is targeted just to earn money from advertising.

Yes, but most of the high-quality content on video hosting is targeted just to earn money from advertising.

You are right, this is if you want to make money on advertising. But there are people who create for themselves, and do not want to sell advertising for money. Viewly will be interesting for them.

And do not you think that people will not translate anything and will just watch the videos for free?

[Josen5000]

Yes, but most of the high-quality content on video hosting is targeted just to earn money from advertising.

This is profitable for a blogger, but the quality of content deteriorates because people start to work not for the sake of video, but for advertising. Often, the entire video consists of advertising, and in the case the video does not contain anything interesting.

[AngelinaShulcz]

I spend a lot of time watching the video on YouTube, now it seems to me television is not the same, and all the possibilities of the Internet are fully revealed, for this the future has been chosen, good direction, guys! Good luck!

[vkolotun]

Unfortunately you are right, but advertisers can also be understood. They want to promote their products and services, but how to do it effectively except as an advertisement for video bloggers? They have millions of views - more than on television ..... That turns out nonsense ...

[Klennox]

And will you show the amount of money collected, as shown in DTube? It's interesting to watch, how much money clip has collected. 

[Lucasolofsson85]

Yes, this encourages other participants to make better content, seeing how many others are making money on it.

[jess4ever]

But how do you plan to name your service? There are already various combinations associated with the decentralization of YouTube and so on. I wonder your decision about the name of the project.

[smartcrypto]

Isn't this already achieved by IPBC? The coin allows users to upload videos and they get paid when the viewers view the videos and 'mine' coins with their cpu while they watch the video.

What is different with this coin?

[CristopherCollins77]

But how do you plan to name your service? There are already various combinations associated with the decentralization of YouTube and so on. I wonder your decision about the name of the project.

I think Viewly is finally the name of the project. Quite original, by the way.
Other projects in the title somehow already have existing names. It looks like pathetic copies.

[sharkman20]

When will you start your service? It is interesting to at least roughly understand what you are capable of and what your ideas are. I'm not talking about a mobile application, but at least a trial run of the site would be interesting to see.

Since token sale will start in about 10 days I think the service launch will have a ETA only after devs will see if people are really interested so invest in such a project. Don't get me wrong, I think the project is nice but is a long run until they will officially launch it.

Miserable copies are not of this project, but the notorious YouTube. In the project you named there is no aforementioned service. But I looked, the usability of your IPBC leaves much to be desired ... so far it isn't able to compete with YouTube. I hope Viewly should do it.

how will this differ from already working video hosting? The whole beauty of decentralization is to get rid of servers and thereby reduce the cost of placing video, and as a consequence to remove advertising.

[futureofeth]

I do not really understand how the decentralized media platform will be implemented. What is its difference from existing ones?

Many people don't know about this decentralized media platform, i hope you will get the clear idea if you look at the Lbry company.
They released their decentralized media platform and they are providing token for watching advertising videos.

At the moment, all information that is presented on regular media hosting is stored on shared servers, here instead of them, user devices will be used, as I understood...

[Joseph007]

this is the data transfer protocol. Emly look, before the address of the page is http / https / ftp and so on - this is the protocol. Here at the decentralized platform lbry is a protocol.

In order to be able to use the currencies we are familiar with, we need support for bank cards. This is the so-called crypto-currency bridge. Will it be realized here?

Why do you need this information?) Not all organizations in principle disseminate such information, but here so much more ... But you can look at the official website ...

[vkolotun]

But the application itself isn't impressive. Made to show what kind of interface it will be?

[tiCeR]

Hello tiCeR, thanks for the question.

The seed sale was ongoing in October and the hard cap was reached. There is a presale for strategic contributors that's ongoing at the moment until the 19th February - above 100 ETH. Then on the 20th and on the 21st February there will be a presale for whitelisted contributors - above 5 ETH. The public token sale starts on the 22nd February and it will last until the hard cap has been reached or until the 22nd March.

Videos are not stored on the blockchain, you actually only store the information regarding transactions and that relates to videos (hashes, etc). The technology is advancing.

Interesting. I am not sure if I understand how your platform works if videos are not stored on the blockchain. If someone creates a video and someone else wants to see it, does that other person have to pay for it and that transaction gets recorded on the blockchain? And then, how does the other person access that video if it's not stored on either a central server like Youtube provides or on a blockchain? Does that person need access to the producers computer?

[Klennox]

Forgive me, but I still don't understand, where the video will be stored? And that, anyone who wants to watch this video, have to pay? I do not think that this will be the best solution ....

Hello smartcrypto and thank you for the question. We are a completely different project from IPBC. Our goal is focusing content creators and solving their problems. No mining, no rewards for just watching a video or for uploading a video. We focus on quality content. You can find out more about Viewly if you check out the whitepaper here: https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf

The blockchain only stores pointers (the hashes) to the locations of the videos i.e. the VIEW hosts. The decentralized CDN (content delivery network - that serves videos) means essentially that anyone can host videos and be part of the Viewly network. Whether its one person making use of their home internet upload capacity when they're not using it or professional CDN's, they all treated as nodes in the network and yes some will be more capable than others and will set for theselves a higher VIEW token price for use. The centrality is only the blockchain itself that points to where videos are.

[DiziSquare]

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.

[AndyNguyen1988]

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?

[Narimann]

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?

I don't think this is required, because user gadgets will be used to manage the data. And it will use exactly the power that is required to view the video, or its publication.

[sharkman20]

I see a sample site on your platform. But will there be a mobile app? Will there be enough mobile Internet resources and mobile processors to operate rather heavy media data?

[Lucasolofsson85]

I see a sample site on your platform. But will there be a mobile app? Will there be enough mobile Internet resources and mobile processors to operate rather heavy media data?

No one is manages without mobile app now. The project witout it would not make sense.
The power of the smartphones will be enough with interest, especially since the technology of blockchain only facilitates the work of the entire service.

[evilcyclope]

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...

That explains it, thank you. Is there any sort of censorship involved or can anyone offer anything via your blockchain? But wait, it wouldn't probably be smart to offer illegal content via your platform because the hash pointer will be stored permanently. They could do it via Tor though.

haha, but in fact the truth. How will you control the banned and propaganda videos? Don’t t you think that sooner or later this technology will be taken under the control of the authorities?

The most important thing is that people will have freedom of speech. Their videos will not be banned for security reasons. You can shoot and show anything. You can express your opinion and stand up for your position.

I agree. I don't see a need for moderator who would ban videos. If you want nice cartoons without violence and music videos, go to youtube or watch TV. Internet should be open.
You can simply put a warning to those videos with explicit content and user needs to click, Yes I am over 18. There are few exceptions of course like CP and other deep web stuff.

Maybe that's just my vision. If Viewly wants to copy YouTube and ban every other video, that is an option but I am not a fan of this idea.

[jethnake]

That sounds good. Such a project can change the idea of video hosting. The absence of corporations will make the platform interesting for ordinary users.

I fully support. Except, of course, completely inappropriate content.
Politics, religion and other exciting topics should be discussed openly. Why we can't share our point of view with people? Why we're limited in this? Not authorities have created this world, it's not for them to decide for us.

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.

The project is developed for creative people. They don't need to make money on advertising, it's not important to get a bunch of subscribers. Here people will spread what they like. Share what they like to do. Wide functionality for this is not necessary.

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.

[TudorOzy]

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.

At what stage is the development of the project? When can we look at the intermediate result?

hahaha, what a cunning! I think there have already been uploaded thousands of videos just for testing.

IPBC will go to market in a few days, Viewly will have a chance to compete? Since the surrounding hype is smaller? Of course what should be taken into account is the community, the roadmap, but apparently, Vielwy could be in a better position! Time will show us the best option.

The chance is always, especially when you can learn from other people's mistakes and release your own, much better.

We’re ecstatic to announce that we’ve sold-out the private pre-sale. 66% of the tokens have been sold. The remaining third of the tokens will be offered starting with the public pre-sale (20.2.) and the remaining tokens on the public token sale (commencing on the 22.2.) thereafter.
Up to this point over 4.000 people have applied to to the whitelist, and we are doing our best to have everyone KYC-ed until the public sale starts.

The one that will present users with the maximum tools for creativity and earnings, of course.

I'll check today! I think it works, if the form already exists!

[itranslate]

Video is important part of our live. Thus, decentralized video platform seems to be good direction of develipment. The most interesting is the new opportunities that will provide such a platform for creativity monitization. However, it is interesting if such platform like Youtube are preparing some respond?

I think they really have a trump card. But they are obsessed with advertising. This is their main earnings. Therefore while they are busy with it - they can be bypassed from the rear.

I haven't read the whitepaper yet, there's too much on my plate right now. But how is the viewers and content creators benefit from the token if an advertisement is not being integrated into the platform? Thanks for anyone who's going to answer my query.

[normensky012]

The subdomain link isn't working, I don't know if it's on my side or the cloud service provider. Or possibly the bounty program ended already?

[turkiman]

this project has great courage to compete with other projects, I conclude that overall this project has a great chance to achieve success among decentralized video projects. but all of that depends on all the hard work and dedication of the development team on this project, hopefully get satisfactory results and produce a good quality product

[stil55]

Project with video sharing platform in cryptocurrency look like good project, i think this project can be successful. Viewly has potential but as i said earlier, better communication is the key to future success.

Of course there're, they have the courage to use the IPFS  file system in their platform, which is still in development. But it's the embodiment of effective transmission and storage of information, since it's completely decentralized, but protocols that are familiar to us can be used for exchange.

[Nijeltheboss]

Yeah, DNS ERROR by the bounty link

What is the advantage of IPFS system?

[sharkman20]

What is the advantage of IPFS system?

This protocol is much faster and safer. It doesn't require a server to connect two or more devices, and connects all devices to a single file system, as well as much less susceptible to attacks by hackers.

The idea is beautiful. I was tested for feasibility. I think it will be a server logic again. A 100% decent YouTube is too hard.

Well, IPFS is working without server...I think it will be much faster than Youtube

[Dr.Cristofferson]

YouTube is governed by advertising. It bothered people. I think many will not mind trying something new and more modern.

I don't understand what benefit to spend a 2-day public pre-sale with a minimum investment of 5ETH. Will there be some kind of bonus?
Or the same conditions as at the threshold of 0.1ETH ?

The main task of decentralization is to remove the intermediary in the form of a server when connecting devices. This technology allows you to combine all devices into a single file system.

How do you know? This technology is universal and will work with any device that has access to the Internet.

Well, why do you think that people will just upload videos there? Then who will look if everyone just uploads?
Watching Viewly at big screen is much more comfortable

Yeah, i like to watch YouTube on my big tv. It's much more convenient

I wonder if I'll upload video to this system and turn off the phone. Disable it altogether from the Internet - will the file be accessible?

[manox.dave]

of course the video will be available - because you upload it to the network.

[Lucasolofsson85]

of course the video will be available - because you upload it to the network.

Yes, access to the file should not depend on whether the device from which it was downloaded is enabled or not.

[AngelinaShulcz]

If there is no decryption on the torrent, then the file is not available.

This is a slightly different system, here the availability of the video will not depend on whether the owner is online or not.

The work of any network, especially multimedia, always requires observation. In particular, to prevent the propagation of something forbidden.
I think the developers will get the most revenue from investors.

Im extremely confident a company emanating from the block chain / ICO space will rival youtube one day. Especially with the way they are treating their content creators. One thing I would say is you will have a tough time competing with THETA coin which is trying to do the same thing and they have a co-founder of youtube on their team

Will it be possible to download videos from your network, or will they be protected by copyright?

But why do you need it? There will be video recordings of those who like to create and share it with the rest. And thanks to the IPFS technology video will always be available.

I asked that question before but didn't get an answer. Will there be any mechanisms that take care of "illegal" content being blocked or something like that? I know censorship should be absent in a perfectly neutral network, but society might have strong incentives to indeed prohibit some content from being available via any network.

I support, how will illegal content be controlled?

This issue has already been discussed. I think there will be a moderator.

It will be enough to check the most popular videos. Because any prohibited content attracts maximum attention.

Just when uploading a video there should be a warning message. Otherwise, the ban, or appeal to law enforcement agencies are provided.

But I guess people can anonymously upload content. How would law be enforced then if the police doesn't even know who is behind a video?

Will there be  token burn?With exchanges will it be on? What is the return edpectations/predictions?

[Chase13]

Nice concept that could disrupt the current video streaming industry if properly executed. Good luck on your project.

[D McCann]

Will the VIEW token will be necessary in order to put videos on the platform and in order to provide hosting services?

[D McCann]

As more people begin using the View coins to upload videos, won't those coins be essentially off the market, causing the coin values to rise?

[KellyJo]

One of the main concepts is to use your Viewly coins to support your favorite artists.  Viewly embraces a token system in which fans purchase tokens in bulk and then allocate them as they wish, leaving the mess of credit cards charges and fees behind.

Viewly is pleased to announce the Creator Advisory Board

Earlier this year, YouTube announced changes to its monetization program, telling content creators with small channels that they’ll no longer be able to monetize unless they can grow their subscriber base to above 1,000 subscribers, with 4,000 hours of view time

Viewly aims to provide sustainable revenue for all creators, not just mainstream content producers. Viewly utilizes the blockchain and peer-to-peer video sharing technology to eliminate the need for ads.

What Is The Creator Advisory Board
The Creator Advisory Board (or CAB) is a research panel comprised of trusted creators whose goal is to provide continuous valuable feedback that is essential to building a long-lasting, constantly evolving, and continually growing video platform
What Are the Next Steps?
In total, we plan to add about 40 creators of various sizes/background to our board.

Our board is comprised of some major names in the online video and multimedia industries.

So far, the board includes the following individuals:

Jay Ferguson, International Emmy and Canadian Screen Awards winner and creator of the web series “Guidestones”
Michael Matteo Rossi, a ten-year veteran Hollywood veteran who most recently released the feature film “Sable” through Lionsgate Entertainment
Kenneth Bright Jr. of Fantasy Soft Entertainment, which features production and voiceover talent from Dragonball Z, Pokémon, and more
Jonathan “Uberdanger” Benlolo, who enjoys one million plus subscribers as a Youtube gaming star
The Juice Media, political satirists and creators of the viral Honest Net Neutrality Ad video

For me there are too many questions in the room that simply don't get answered. I can't see the motivation behind this behavior but I don't like it when many things remain unanswered.

Viewly Creator : Steven Fletcher — Co-Founder of WavemStudios London

If there was ever a perfect fit for Viewly, Steven Fletcher is that person. A full-time payments programmer who uses crypto daily as well as a filmmaker in his free time, Steven’s most recent project was “The Commodore Story,” a documentary that tells the story of how Commodore made 8-bit computers such as the PET, Vic-20, and its flagship C64 and Amiga (16-bit).

Traditionally, video content would be passed through a distributor with many people down the line taking a cut before and reward would come to you but now things are changing again with Viewly allowing filmmakers to be in total control of their content distribution in a secure manner.

WavemStudios is a new school video production company that makes feature documentaries and films.

“Viewly is a secure decentralized video platform built by creators for creators, allowing safe distribution of video content by micropayment and subscription, enabling the creator to build their fanbase directly without the need of middlemen taking a cut, thus enabling more money going to the creator.”

Will there be  token burn?With exchanges will it be on? What is the return edpectations/predictions?

Unsold tokens don't exist, because they are not minted only when needed. There is no pre-mine. They could be minted in the future for DAO purposes.

We can't comment on exchanges and won't get into speculation.

Thank you for taking the time to ask!

[storfox]

I really like the idea of a decentralized video platform because in this case all the players of this market will be in profit because there will not be intermediaries in this market who take a large percentage of the profits also residents of all countries can earn money for their videos.

Austin loves filmmaking and even though much of the Hitfilm community does tend to lean towards VFX because of how fun they can be, he also has a more serious side. We were missing some action in our second lineup batch and Austin delivers it here with sparks as well as a twist.

Isiah Allen is an 18 year old journeyman filmmaker under his own label H.I.S. Films . He has been making films since he was 13 and knows he still has much to learn. Other upcoming films include Freedom and The Vanished Crystal which you can preview in his vlog entry (https://youtu.be/2jp30u1Qc7g).

Sounds good... I'm going to read the white paper.
Project with video sharing platform in cryptocurrency look like promising project. Looking forward to it and token.

[Namiks]

Seems particularly pointless to have an ICO when multiple decentralised YouTube alternatives exist on the Steem blockchain, without a token sale necessary.

Yah this project has very nice intention and has big potential in the crypto community.  By using this kind of video platform technology everyone will be paid automatically by their hard work in their creative mindful video.  Viewly users are always in control of their money.  It helps improves the advertising industry effeciency and lower the cost.

[viewly]

In light of the recent tragedy at YouTube, we at Viewly would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all who were affected. While we have criticized some of YouTube’s demonetization policies in the past, we do so under the pretense of healthy competition. We fully support any and all endeavors by YouTube creators as well as respect YouTube as a company. Our thoughts and prayers are with all YouTube staff and family.

the system will be built like youtube?
interesting to understand how will the partnership program work and money will be paid in crypto, fiat, tokens?
the idea itself is quite interesting

The system will be unique. The most important part is that we are working on developing the platform by getting feedback directly  from creators and users. That means that we can build something that people want and need which puts us closer to creators and users.

Please check our whitepaper for the vision of Viewly.

Well from 14 cents to $1 is great
I’m just learning about the project it looks like something major to where it could be worth more than $10 but from what I just read from you guys maybe I’m wrong
I figured anything connected to Charlie Shrem would be worth way more than $1 or $10

I think that "everyone should have the opportunity to share their creative work, discover their fans and get paid, without the corporate middleman, pesky ads or personal privacy invasion." too! So good luck with your project!

any project starts with ICO and as a result with the bounty, the project team made a mistake and chose the bad bounty managers, as a result I did not hear once that the support was not working, I also had my questions unanswered, the bounty managers paid all the tokens to their friends, about this they openly wrote in the telegram, I'm sure everyone understands that this is a scam

[hangnga294]

Can’t wait for the start of ICO. I will consider this coin and will join the ICO launching. this project needs a trust escrow to keep funds or eth contract. So interesting ideas coming from your team!

[hamamana99]

How will it be on a proper exchange when ur shit exchange volume is so low
Where on earth a good exchange will list us
Im just very frustrated looks like i have to watch viewly video for my whole life

[Icue]

Furion I'm browsing viewly in my phone and it feels laggy compared to web version YouTube, from page loading to jumping to different moments of the video (I get 2-3s buffering each time). Oneplus 3 // sd820 with 53mb download speed
is android app in development?

[bienvang192]

This project is very good and cool, I will follow this project.  I am really considering to join and i wish you the best, Good luck to developers !

Looks exciting!  Viewly updates are always good news😁 Would love to learn more about the stochastic processes in the censorship (is that the right word?) Algorithms... I'm currently doing undergraduate applied maths and computer science, only had a small taste of stochastic processes, but nice to see that they have applications in awesome projects like this!  Inspiring

why not ban such messages? this is a clear bot and ICO has long been over, because of such messages, people do not understand where the project is going, although this project goes to the bottom, but it's not so important

Probably not a bot, but rather some brainless little dude who wants to participate in this forum. Who cares actually..

[Huishu]

Like IPBC?

[frirstfootonthemoon1989]

This project is very promising and I hope it will be usefull for many people in the near future

[LumeenaThuwan]

Viewly reserves a share of VIEW tokens for community projects, providing opportunities for community members to get involved in marketing, development or support of the platform. After a project proposal is submitted, a transparent, on-chain voting decides which projects get the green light. Anyone holding VIEW tokens will be able to participate in the voting process and help Viewly evolve in the right direction.

[sontung09]

 amazing project! I would even say unique in its way. I participate and will actively invest because I already see how reliable and safe it is to place my investments and of course very, very profitable.

[number37]

I do not know if the project will withstand such fierce competition, which is now on the market, is there any results on the road map, who can share it?

[Bonnie Cleary]

Thank For Sharing.

[fancy2973]

Should they stop trying then? I don't think so as it is really good to have competition for big centralized services like Youtube.

Livecoin is a graveyard, but as far as I know Viewly didn't raise million so how to get on large exchanges?

An update for creators

The daily rewards pool has increased, creators are already earning on Viewly.

https://medium.com/view-ly/the-daily-rewards-pool-increase-286ee63ae6db

We will run a “test-launch” of Creator Rewards with 25 high-quality creators who are eager to try the new product and provide feedback to help us create the best experience possible. Creators will be able to apply for early access to the test run via application, where the Viewly Team will be selecting eligible creators until July 4th.

Selected creators will receive tokens via the number of Votes they receive on the Viewly platform. For them, this means a few things: Creators will be incentivized to create better videos, as well as encouraged to bring over their audiences to the Viewly platform. Subsequently, creators will be able to supplement their income, and eventually, make a living off Viewly.
