Topic: (PREANN) PURE VIDZ Crowdfunding Campaign Starts Soon! (Read 2830 times)

We are now finishing setting up a multi-sig wallet with our 2 escrows, Dabs and SebastianJu and are aiming to launch our official announcement thread and begin the crowdfund on Monday.

Thanks for your patience.

Trakt is a service that tracks what you are watching. Think of it a bit like 'goodreads for video'. By rating the media you are watching it will make suggestions for what you may want to watch next, it will track your progress in a video, it allows you to create lists of things you plan to watch in the future and more. It's a proven system that is used across many different media centers and would be a great way for us to extend the user features of the website.

Seeing as many of the functions will be duplicates of things already built into the user account management for the site, it is considered lower priority and therefor pushed back in the timeline until everything more important is completed.


That is always a threat but as proven by many different sites (for example the pirate bay), there are many ways to mitigate and bypass those issues. This includes but is not limited to...

-Strong filtering of malicious traffic through services such as cloudflair.
-Creating a hub to redirect or inform users of any domain changes in the case of one being seized or interfered with.
-Decentralized website by publishing updates as their own torrent files (experimental)

To touch on the final point - there are a number of projects which seek to protect against single point of failures by essentially making the website itself a torrent which is loaded from peers in your browser. This allows anyone to view the full, up to date website without having to access any single server, domain or host.

Web2Web is a primitive but working example of serverless and domainless websites. In their implementation they utilize the bitcoin blockchain to get a magnet link of the most recent version of the website. It then torrents in the relevant website data to display the site itself.

Web2Web sourcecode on github (we are not associated with them, it's simply a relevant example)

There will be much more information posted in the near future. That full announcement will also include a fully working stripped down version of the website for people to test.

I still want to know what trakt integration is please.

I understand what you're trying to accomplish with this but what if the Pure Vidz domain is attacked or taken down. They don't need to legally win against you, all they need to do is get the domain seized, ddosed or whatever.

Can you please explain how you expect to go around this.

devs more info please!

Pure Vidz through use of its decentralized torrent network solves problems such as the many free movie or tv show websites that require you to click through 100 mirrors only to realize the majority of them are broken links and were taken down due to DMCA take downs. At Pure Vidz you won’t have to worry about this because there is no true one host for the video files since they exist on a distributed torrent network of people seeding the files. Unlike traditional streaming websites where quality degrades with more people watching due to server bandwidth consumption, at Pure Vidz it’s the complete opposite and built to scale where the more people watching a video will actually improve loading times to be faster due to the number of seeders increasing!

What is Pure Vidz?
Pure Vidz is a video streaming protocol modeled after the successful platform known as Youtube however, built upon and around the decentralized platform that is Torrents. Pure Vidz utilizes Web Torrent technology to deliver an immersive viewing experience allowing us to provide you with a variety of content such as TV Shows, Movies and even personal videos without us or you needing to worry about the legal ramifications of hosting or viewing said content. Due to the nature of Torrents, Pure Vidz actually does not host any videos directly on its platform but rather provides a well refined index of tags, playlists and user profiles making it easy to upload or view whatever it is you desire.


Since anyone can make a torrent, it’s very easy to turn Pure Vidz into your own personal site for managing video blogs or custom entertainment content as so many Youtubers do today in modern day society. Unlike Youtube, you won’t have to worry about your videos randomly being taken down as personally uploaded videos are dependent on your initial seeding of the video files until it propagates throughout the network as others download your video and begin seeding it as well.

Team
Due to the fact that Pure Vidz heavily utilizes torrents to circumvent censorship and to promote decentralization it’s likely that with increased popularity Pure Vidz will be under siege the way that popular sites such as The Pirate Bay constantly are despite our model being entirely legal. To avoid this, we’re forced to remain anonymous.

We’re aware the anonymity is often a red-flag typically for developers, however since we are forced to do this to protect ourselves, we will do our best to maintain transparency through means such as escrow, multi-signature wallets and public addresses
