This video is great, I'm just breezing through it at the moment but I've already enjoyed a lot of what was talked about.
I joined Steemit over a year ago because that was necessary for Dtube at the time.
Even before Dtube I was aware of IPFS, and had even hosted my own node locally for testing purposes on my Linux server.
I have since jumped to Hive because it appeared that most of the community was in support of Hive due to Justin Sunn's acquisition of Steem's controlling stake.
I've been very confused by DTC/Avalaon, but I THOUGHT DTC was basically a utility token feature of Steem. I'm guessing it's tied to Steem's distributed infrastructure somehow? I understand that Dtube itself was built as a dApp or front-end tied to Steem for account identification/monetization etc, and to a certain extent as the URL database for the content's storage locations.
whereas IPFS is the storage protocol, where the video content is held. Because the blockchain isn't suited for media, but rather documents.
I hope I'm getting this right.
I'm actually working on a mini-documentary about Steem, Dtube, the Steem wars, and Hive. It's still in early stages as I'm writing and researching. I'm also gathering visual resources that I'll be able to use for it.
