dev when we can see the vidz token integrated into the website? so people can receive vidz submitting requested movies

I was basically saying I was part of the "sorry, too lazy" category. But I'm just tired right now. Tomorrow I'll probably do the whole setup and be ready to reupload.

I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding but let me try to reword some of what I said again so everyone is on the same page...

We're not abandoning WebTorrent support. Tomorrow, we are adding support for IPFS which will require some downtime to to transition and test things. We've contacted those who've been heavy uploaders of our platform and are working with them to have their content pulled off the site in the WebTorrent format and reuploaded in IPFS format. We expect most the content to be removed and replaced in the secondary format hence why we said there will be essentially a purge... the reason we're doing this is to test the scalability of IPFS in our infrastructure.

Suppose you were one of those people we contacted, you can simply refuse us and say "Sorry Pure_Vidz, I don't want to take this particular video down" or even "Sorry, too lazy" and that's fine, we're not forcing anyone to comply! After these changes content will uploadable in both WebTorrent and IPFS format.

For people who simply want to use the site rather than actually upload things these changes will greatly improve your over all experience.

Yes, as long as it isn't an ancient computer it should be good.

I'm actually not that happy about the transition. The setup for ipfs is going to lose some people. Not only that but you are switching from a beta interface in webtorrent to an alpha interface with ipfs.

I'm not sure about it. Maybe after I get over the initial headache of having to use the terminal again for something, ill begrudgingly go along with it. Maybe it will be good.

What does a coin have to do with downloading torrents? the point of torrents is that they are free.. if you want to "invest" in videos or video games, just buy them lol

can I run ipfs on my home computer if I wanted to host a node?

With this new update today its looking like Vidz is going back above 200 sat soon and probably much higher this time. Anyone have some TA or price predictions they care to share? 

It's pretty simple, IPFS already provides an indepth tutorial for this:
https://ipfs.io/docs/getting-started/

Their tutorial works fine on both OSX, Linux and Windows from my testing.

Few quick questions. How easy is it to set up an ipfs node and will you include a tutorial on how to set one up?

Pure_Vidz, thanks for explanation. I didn't realize ipfs was based on hosting your own files instead of offloading them onto the network. I see the resemblance to torrents instead of decentralized dropbox links. I love the incentive structure based on bounties. I hope the test goes well, and eventually I can use links hosted by unknowing others instead of me just due to the fact of the encryption and distribution of fragments of files making the use of vpn not necessary and doesn't require running a host for prolonged periods of time after initial upload for a low effort contributor. Exciting times.

Hello everyone,

Today, we want to inform you of a rather large update to the sites main infrastructure we'll be doing over the next few days. While one of our focuses is adding new features, another is ensuring the stability and scalability of the platform. Recently, we've noticed many users have found it overly complicated to upload content using the Web Torrent system, while a small handful have found it straight forward. Another issue we've ran into is the current scalability of the Web Torrent client. While this can be addressed by our team, it would be a set back to our platform if we focused our resources currently into developing a more efficient hybrid WebTorrent client.

For our beta we were planning on adding dual support for WebTorrent and IPFS. Our current research has shown us that IPFS allows out platform to scale better in terms of reliability, and ease of use in all aspects of download, uploading and simply viewing the content. Given this, we've made the decision to currently pursue IPFS as out primary means of site content.

We've already reached out to our primary uploaders and notified of this change and will be actively working with them. During this change, there will be a content purge from the site as we'll be disabling for the time being uploading Web Torrent based content and migrating towards IPFS based content. We want to make it clear, we're not abandoning the use of WebTorrenting but rather postponing its primary use as it's a powerful technology, but will require a lot of time out of us before we can produce a scalable product using it.

What you should expect after our changes is for the site to initially have minimal to no content as our uploaders migrate to the new format and repopulate our index but in terms of benefits you should expect as previously stated increased reliability of content and it'll be far easier to upload/download content. After our infrastructure is back and running to par we can continue our reach into improving the WebTorrent client and re-enable WebTorrent uploading.

Once our primary uploaders are all up to date on our changes, we'll be working with them to put together a guide for "the every day joe" to easily add content to our network which should help us quickly grow. We feel that this update is a great step forward in making PureVidz more accessible to everyone and a good start to our planned major update.

Notice: This change will go into effect on Jan 25th where for a short time frame the site will be unavailable during our maintenance. When it comes back online, it will initially have no content and we'll be working with our uploaders to get everything back online.

Thanks.

so, PureVidz is not just going to be movies and series?

you guys are going even further than that?

One more comment - does this mean the ipfs traffic on this would be limited to people providing content? I dont know if it's an issue for safety that this ipfs would be just limited to vidz users and I think might be easier targeted than a much larger network where vidz content could hide among much other. My biggest concern is privacy with easy to track direct connections torrents have. Unfortunately I'm only mostly aware of storj and sia and not ipfs/swarm so far. I have little trust for ethereum security and sia is a design praised by extremely difficult to please cryptographers including fluffypony with data sharding and everything. The beauty there is that the network would be only small part of larger network, the files are not only encrypted but broken up in nonsense pieces among many upload providers giving them plausible deniability of knowing they were complicit in something illegal. Ok, last comment. I'm stupidly super excited about this. I thought I'd have to code this myself, but I'd rather just be a user. I wish you the best of luck and fortune.
