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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thank you for your support, yes IPFS is slow for what is envisioned. Team is working hard on the beta right now.

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.

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

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.
