Hi guys,
I know EOS is something that you are considering.
Now, in the whitepaper, you talk about how anyone can host their own videos or pay for someone , a hosting node, to host them at a low fee( hosting nodes compete in the marketplace)
Dan Larimar was talking about EOS storage where anybody could host his video, thus guaranteeing the user a decentralized file redundancy.
As I understand it, the one who wsnts to upload a video, for example, will have it's tokens locked as long as he wants his file, in this case video, to he online.
If, at one point, he decides to delete the video, he gets his tokens unlocked and he is free to sell them.
How would this fit into Viewly?
Would this type of storage make the hosting nodes obsolete?
I see how this would work, for example, if the content creator would like to not host his files on his computer but on the EOS storage.
We will definitely experiment with EOS Storage.
Viewly is a bit more challenging, as storage alone is not enough. For a smooth playback, videos need to be distributed to a worldwide CDN.
At this time, the system proposed in our whitepaper is still the most plausible option.
