How about we hit 1000 sat first before talking craziness.

PureVIDZ on polo or bittrex will be amazing

easy 10000 sats

I hope this happens this year 

I read this article. :)I expect it very very much.

Why The Internet Needs IPFS Before It’s Too Late
https://techcrunch.com/2015/10/04/why-the-internet-needs-ipfs-before-its-too-late/

HTTP is obsolete. It's time for the distributed, permanent web
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNhFJjGcMPqpuYfxL62VVB9528NXqDNMFXiqN5bgFYiZ1/its-time-for-the-permanent-web.html

are the links to the content stored on the blockchain to prevent censorship?

 

Something is going on with the MAIN PAGE? They must be tweaking stuff... but the Movies and TV Shows still load fine!

I have tested it out and mkv files Do indeed work. It is cool to have the ability to take a hash and stream any video through mpv or whatever you use.

I get the feeling that purevidz is moving into not just a streaming service, but also an IPFS Media DataBase, which I don't think anyone currently has. Also, its acronym is IMDB, just an interesting find.

And to he guy above me, webtorrents is in beta and IPFS I think is still in alpha.

Sidenote, don't try and upload videos through the web app for IPFS, in the examples section is a clear way of uploading video through the terminal which works.

In fact, it is amazing you guys are making use of the latest technologies. Its really nice to see such passionate and highly competent people at work. I would like to express my full respect to you guys.

I have never considered IPFS to be technology mature enough to base something on it. But I am no expert in this area, so I would like to ask you: how would you estimate the maturity level of that technology, and do you think it is going to be as flawless and polished as WebTorrents are? In general, I developed skeptic approach to everything originated from crypto (including IPFS) - meaning I agree there are great ideas, but most of them are just experimental. Now you are going to utilize the concept for real working system of supposedly big scale. So is my question - do you think the IPFS tech is out of purely experimental stage?

Our goal is to have everything back online tomorrow with support for IPFS added. This will not be a visible change to users of the site (except for submitting new media) and will result in media loading and playing much faster than the old site. We still fully support webtorrents but are looking into the alternative p2p delivery system due to its increased reliability, scalability and responsiveness.

With webtorrents it generally took 10-30 seconds for a video to play. With IPFS we are looking at 1-10 seconds in most cases with less issues of dead links.


As mentioned earlier in the thread, we will also be looking into other p2p distribution methods so that as technology advances, our site will function fully with as many relevant technologies as possible. These improvements will NOT change how the site functions but rather making it easier for the site to grow with our userbase.

When is the site expected to be back upline?

Yes, this is correct.

Just to watch you wont need to use ipfs from what I understand, its just another way to upload content.

Agreed.
Quick easy and cheap...
Hookers and blow, and my vidz

Nobody has to install IPFS nodes to keep content pinned just like nobody is forced to install a WebTorrent compatible client like Vuze. You want to help the network? That's great, and you can do this by seeding content on WebTorrent or IPFS as it's common courtesy to seed the content you like because if nobody was seeding it to begin with, you would've never got to download it and watch/use it either.

If you don't want to seed anything or set up IPFS then don't. You can just use the site as we expect most users will but fortunately, not everyone thinks like this and people see the web as a community otherwise torrents would've been dead a long time ago and never caught traction.

Lastly, WebRTC is getting better with every revision of HTML

The beauty of this coin is *** you never leave your browser *** to one-click stream content...
Now they are talking about people installing IPFS and running nodes to keep content pinned.

The last thing VIDZ needs is endless "feature creep" and "acronym overload".... KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid
Get a clean, one-click site working ASAP, man... or someone will quickly fork this and take the market.

If WebRTC "doesn't scale" becomes a problem... VIDZ will be up 100x.

We're actually planning to address this around the same time the new UI goes live we'll be setting up our portal website purevidz.stream, while it's fine if people want to keep going directly to purevidz.net lets suppose the unfortunate case scenario that the domain is seized and we need to move to a new one like many video streaming services do, say we move to purevidz.world our portal purevidz.stream will be updated to route you to the new site.

The problem with using IPFS for what you mentioned is it's not quite at that point where it can be used for something like that because of server-side computation. However, it's not entirely impossible.

An example of how something crude but "useful" could be achieved by doing this is setting up a secondary Twitter, we'll call it @PureVidz_IPFS for sake of argument. Regularly, a bot will automatically index the content into a single *.html page which will be a simple table of the movie data and the link to the IPFS hash or magnet link. This page is then synced to IPFS and then the hash for that page is tweeted. Therefore even if the site really went offline, so long as you have any of the previous index IPFS hashes, you should have access to basically a crude copy of our database.

This can of course be heavily improved, but what I described above is a quick and hacky way of doing what you asked. It will definitely be something we consider doing in the future as we grow.


Anime is an interesting topic. From what I'm aware, there's really no good API providers for meta data about anime. The best I can think of since most people use it is MAL but the problem is their API is very dated and far from useful. We'd have to write a manual scraper that parses their HTML and uses HTTP web requests and convert it to a useful data format we can work with.

Specifically what I'm talking about is when you're uploading the content on the site right now you search the movie/tv series title and then it auto-fills in the meta data for you... it's not possible to do this at this time for most anime especially newer or currently airing ones without English dubs without doing what I described above.

Later on, we'll make a submission where a user could fill in all this information manually, but if we're realistic most uploaders won't bother doing that. Long story short, I'll look into native support for anime some time after we have the new UI up and ready to go.

 

Oh no. Im sure I pay $9.99 a month for nexflix and I have the credit card bills to prove it but compared to paying $90 a month for my tv channels nexflix is a dollar store bargain but I think giving the time purevidz could be just as big not in terms of value $ but value to my every day usage.

I don't think anyone even remembers how much netflix costs because it's like less than a roll of toilet paper for unlimited content. In fact, vidz library should be able to surpass netflix library easier not having to deal with licenses.

Isn't Netfix associated with the payment for viewing content?

I like blockflix a lot.
