And you did help me go back and re read so thank you. I now understand and it looks much better than I understood before.

Hello dev,
How much BTC raised so far?do you accept any other altcoin?
thanx

If it was a normal escrow I dont think I would take the chance and invest but with the milestone structure its almost a guarantee this get built and finished otherwise the devs are left without the money.
I see so many ico's with escrow and all the devs need to complete to meet the escrow requirements is launch a coin and wallet which anyone with a few hundred dollars can acheave. Its not to say that this is 100% secured but its as secure as they come.

Im not trying to be high and almighty. Im only attempting to have you go over the pitch again so you fully inderstand what's being offered.

This is correct. If we do a refund the project won't entirely die per se but we wouldn't be able to focus our resources specifically time into development the platform at the pace we'd like.

I can personally promise you it will be over 3 btc because right now it's already at 2.75 and I'll be investing at least 2 btc before its over.
Will it reach the 50 btc goal is a whole other question.

I think dev mentioned 50 BTC minimum, or refund all investors.

So what happens in the case that you don't pull much in the ICO? Let's say you hit a cap of 3 BTC. What happens to the project?

Maybe this is the future we'll have to deal with?

You are welcome to your opinion and your own take on current events. We encourage all potential investors to do their research before making any decisions regarding our project.


We believe in the freedom of information and that traditional media has done the public a disservice in refusing to update their business model and evolve to reflect changing technology. Services such as Netflix and Hulu are a great step forward but are absolutely unusable in many areas of the world due to ridiculous licensing issues. Compare the selection of netflix inside the US to other areas of the world and the differences are astounding. This is before even taking into account the different economic conditions between countries.

Our site and our business model does not break any copyright laws in our country and while certain areas of the world may choose to argue that point, we are not hosting anything which is copyright but rather links that allow users to retrieve information on the content they are looking for. We have the ability to address the 2 biggest issues with traditional torrent sites. Number one, it simplifies the process requiring no third party software, extensions or custom browser addons. Number two, you do not have to dig through dozens or hundreds of results to find what you are looking for or require any special knowledge to ensure you are not exposed to malicious content.  We also solve the biggest issue with traditional streaming sites in that content linked from our website is decentralized and has no single point of failure.


Whatever the legal status of torrents in your area and whatever your moral stance on copyright law and traditional media is, it is undeniable that what our project looks to provide holds not only promise, but monetary value for investors. I would strongly encourage testing our second demo site as it goes live this weekend and doing research on similar services. Anyone who regularly uses stream or torrent sites will be able to see at a glance the power of what we are doing with this project.



When someone submits an item to the site, they are simply providing a magnet link (a hash used for torrent clients) and some simple metadata (movie title for example) so our site can begin to categorize the item. Approved members of the site must then approve that release simply by saying "yes, it is what they said it is" and verifying that the torrent has enough people seeding it. At that point our site will scrape the internet for extended information about that release. This includes things such as genre tags, ratings, synopsis, posters and more. It uses that data to build a comprehensive database on that release so when users search the site or are watching something else, it can make relevant recommendations for other movies/shows they may wish to watch.

It's worth re-starting that there is no copyright content being stored on our servers or being used by our site. When a user requests a torrent, we simply provide them with the magnet link for the torrent and they can connect to other peers to download the file itself. This is all done within the browser leveraging Javascript, WebRTC and WebTorrent.



Yes, submission of new content will be enabled in the second demo. In order to be approved for the site, torrents must contain a .mp4 file with h.264 video encoding and AAC or MP3 audio encoding. This is to ensure that it will be compatible across all browsers which support html5 and wont ever need extra software.

We strongly recommend anything submitted to the site be from an existing torrent site to ensure it will have already been spread among many users. This will ensure quicker load speeds for those testing the site and provide redundancy for the system. As our service launches and grows in popularity this will become less relevant.

Interesting I just hope the copyright violations don't get the site shut down.  So when someone requests a video they put a bounty up and then the person gets them the video, after that can only that person who put the bounty up download or can anyone; like does it become part of a searchable database?

Attempting to build an illegal business off of piracy (profit on other people's work). On top of being illegal, this is incredibly shitty to do. Movies and shows that people love are extremely expensive. If you want to enjoy their product, you can cough up the couple bucks a month a Netflix or HBO account costs.

Are people really that stupid that they would trust a pirate with their money? Thankfully it appears not many based on the ICO address.


To sum it up: Not going to bother with a longer review seeing as how little information is provided in their OP, and how straightforward it is: investing in illegal businesses will never end well.

You say I can add new movie to site after saturday? What format do submissions need to be? I have some movies I will try adding.

TVAddons that I know about is a site listing and hosting KODI addons rather than a streaming or torrenting service. With the release of our public API (as listed in the dev timeline) we will be looking to engage developers working on KODI and other devices to include our site with the possibility of partnering with android tv merchants to market set-top boxes using our site as a preconfigured option.


The comparison between vTorrent and PureVidz is not unexpected but as you say can be hard to draw parallels.

As per their thread, they are looking to re-create the days of Kaza They are looking to re-create the days of kazaa or limewire where users access torrents through a downloaded client with the search engine and file tags being decentralized through that application. I am not going to pass judgement having not been involved in their project but the only real difference between what they are describing and what is offered by dozens of applications or websites for a decade or more is rewarding people for submitting and seeding content. While we strongly believe rewarding users for participating in building and maintaining our site's content is necessary and useful, I do not see it as some grand breakthrough that dismisses the inconvenience and mistrust users have for torrents and I don't believe it alone is enough to push users away from their favorite torrenting sites or applications.


Purevidz is designed completely around simplicity. The end user should need no addons or 3rd party applications and it should simply 'work'. I would prefer to refrain from 'trashtalking' other projects so I will simply leave it at that one comparison, our site does not require any knowledge of torrenting or blockchain technology in order to be used and enjoyed. It should feel for the user no different than how they already interact with youtube or any traditional streaming service.


To ensure the safety and anonymity of our users, our website will not record any logs more than are required to function and troubleshoot the site. Our site will contain a section specifying exactly what data is recorded, our policies on how long records are maintained for and our policies on who has access to that data. The most simplistic description of those policies will be:  no user-specific data will be recorded, any logs will be purged within 30 days and will not be accessible through any external network connections and not made available to any 3rd parties.

When dealing with user accounts we will of course offer standard security features including but not limited to site wide SSL, 2FA and passwords and emails being salted and hashed to avoid any personal data being accessible by site staff. We will have a separate mailing list which users can opt into which will give us permission to store a readable copy of your email address for use in promotions, a similar privacy policy will be placed on this database and will be viewable when opting into that service.


Because torrents available through our website will function just as well on traditional torrent sites, tracking individual user seeds is not necessary. Instead we simply need to know who submitted the original torrent and moderators must review a torrent to ensure it has a healthy existing seed count and is properly tagged before approving it for use in our site. For anyone with experience in torrenting, having them available across as many sites as possible is a good thing for the health of the network.

Sounds like an interesting project. How does it compare with TVAddons?

Will be interested to know how IP addresses logs and following the blockchain money thing will be worked out - you know, tracking users.

Comparing vTorrent to this project is not entirely easy.

For example, vTorrent is expected to have a BitTorrent integration, so it's not just for movies.  Books, music, open source software, etc.

The devs of vTorrent have said that the BitTorrent client was ready in Feb 2016. It's taken so long to work through other things like

* fake seeders that can destroy a system that rewards seeders
* protecting users from coins being stolen (first in-wallet 2FA was implemented recently)
* encryption of payments
* encryption of IP's
* encrypted group chat
* potentially a fully working market / classifieds for private trackers

That is actually a nice touch compared to these shitbags who raise the full amount and then take ages to develop anything.

No promise of investment but I am looking closer into this project and I must say it looks like a big opportunity.

Loving the 2/3 escrow and milestones to have the funds released. This shows the guys behind PureVids mean business and it will be developed as advertised. I will be in for 75% of what I can afford..

For me it started instantly. I clicked play and quicker then I can blink my eye it was playing and not laggy at all which normally it is.
