RE: D.Tube not as resilient as many of us may think... not good for permanent long term storage
How long can one reasonably expect for their videos to last on DTube?
How long can one reasonably expect for their videos to last on DTube?
No clue. I haven't used it myself. I just am reacting to observations of what is happening to people I encounter here on Steemit that were suddenly having their videos disappear. Also to things I have read over the past months since D.Tube came onto the scene.
I wonder if combining the likes of DTube with a decentralized cryptocoin storage service like Storjcoin could complement each other, allowing for long term storage with the minuscule costs automatically paid based upon the popularity of the video. In essence, a slice of the continual earnings would pay for the continued storage.
Well there is no reason that couldn't be done with the existing system either. In either case they just need some way to keep track of such payments. So it could easily be done with steem in conjunction with what it is doing now, but it simply needs web UI for showing when something is going to run out of funding and allowing you to purchase more.
