RE: How To Avoid Getting Your DTube Videos Deleted - Free Dedicated DTube Video Hosting
Would be better to have a DTube Publisher Software for Desktop with IPFS integrated.
When you publish a video, the software takes the IPFS hashes of video, sprints, quality, etc and download all data to keep a local seed for the files.
That way each person would be responsible for keeping just their own videos after DTube deletes them from their IPFS.
Yes, that too! DTube and IPFS are not focusing enough on the good will of people... Everyone assumes people are greedy and want to take and not give back. For instance, on an utopian-io community once when they were talking about the fees on the new platform I have asked "but wait, what if I want to give higher fees from my earnings to utopian to support you, how can I do it?" they have said "wait, we have never thought about that"
They all assume no one wants to help them, DTube could have some software for people that want to help to easily host videos, being their own of others videos.... IPFS also could have an easier system for people that want to volunteer as seeds, but they all assume no one cares about helping...
Meanwhile, I am here with my dedicated server ready to help, though it is not as simple as it should be
I once tried to make an IPFS local server to be controlled by a Windows desktop. It kind of worked but I gave up later.
It wouldn't need to be logged in to backup IPFS videos. Just put the username and the system would backup every IPFS published by that user on Steem Blockchain.
