BitTube ecosystem milestonesBitTube browser upgrades: Medium term
We intend the BitTube browser to become a pillar of the ecosystem. It will enable true decentralization where every user will participate in the network in multiple ways.
- Tor integration
- Local BitTubers frontend integration (i.e. domain can't be censored)
- p2p storage node capability and interface
- Native offline GUI wallet node & interface
- Auto updater
- Seamless switching between p2p/cloud on BitTubers.com (not Browser related)
Mobile Messenger App (name TBD): Medium term
- Based on Signal (p2p, encrypted).
- AirTime integrated
- Wallet integrated to send/receive funds
- Exploring deep integration with the BitTubers platform:
- All-in-one app
- Push notifications
- Private messages & chats
- Integrate BitTube browser itself
Extension/Module updates: Medium term
- Browser extension: The extension should become an accessory, not a requirement. Make it lightweight. Reduce bloat, improve performance and security by modularity. Move certain features to the AirTime module, to bittubeapp.com or to bittubers.com, such as wallet, verification, account management, statistics, etc.
- Extension feature for linked social accounts: Cross-publish your posts/comments from other platforms automatically or manually. This could be useful to auto-publish your YouTube videos to BitTubers, for example.
- AirTime module: improve detection of elements and fair AirTime distribution when mixed content is shown on the page, including external embedded content.
Protocol (blockchain): Long term (TBD)
- Move to AirTime-based PoS (useful work):
- Exploring different models: Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Hybrid PoW-PoS, high interest in Proof-of-Capacity (BURST protocol).
