Today, we have set-up an AMA with DTube creator @heimindanger . Be sure to follow @dtube.
What is DTube?
DTube is an application fully written in javascript, that runs in the browser, that allows you to upload and watch videos on top of the IPFS Network. Moreover, it uses STEEM as a database and enables earning rewards from your uploads.
He’ll respond to your questions below via his account at @Heimindanger . Enjoy!
How do you get an AMA?
If you have an interesting project, or an expert on a subject, please comment below of your interest, or email askmesteemit@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you.
Who is Next?
StelleBelle, TBD
First of all, thank you for what you have built. My question is are you thinking of directing more of your attention work-wise towards the development of Dtube now that you have seen the communities response?
I can't imagine you being lazy, coming up with such an amazingly disruptive thing as Dtube, Thank you for the honesty of your response. Like @dan you probably have other ideas up your sleeve and it is the creative process which you get the kick out of. Releasing Dtube into the wild seems like a great solution to issues you highlighted.
Pleasant honest answer. I know exactly what you mean... I don't know how some people can be passionate about one single project for more that a few months. I always try to rotate between different parallel projects.
And I was just about to ask the open source question. Thanks for answering that one! :)
There is a difference in lazy people. The average lazy person does little to nothing ever. Then you have the smart lazy people who want to start something and then get bored after a few months. The key to supporting the development of something such as DTube requires a fast growth of users. With small growth, I can see developers getting lazy. But I do believe that this network can grow but needs much more development at the moment. Certainly not ready for the average Joe that thinks sites just pop into existence overnight.
I see that Dtube is a great idea, it can be very sustainable. The current content of the DTube platform (mostly + 98%) does not contain copyright.
Now, it's time (I think) to release the code, and so help you. This project does not deserve to die.
Youtube, currently, is undergoing changes in monetization, that would help enough that Dtube grows a lot. Honestly, I myself would start creating content (I'm new to Steem) for its platform and even invite the communities and forums of my country to do it.
What are you most excited about that's happening to dtube in the next year?
Out of all asian languages, which one do you like the most? Reading/writing wise but also how they are pronounced. I have been told that you love asian culture and I would love to hear more of it from the man himself. Cheers.
Can you reveal what you would consider to be version 1.0? Briefly...? :)
Oh and I noticed that DTube is not optimized for small screens. Will this change anytime soon?
I Try to Login to DTube and its not functional, yes I do it right and I know what the difference in the keys are. How we can help and Support you to get the login stable? Thanks for your awesome vision and work, humanity needs exactly that. Thanks
Nice try 😂, 26 years of IT Engineering allows me to understand key pairs. Somehow I expected it. LOL
I got no error message, but you are right, today it works fine.
As said thanks a lot, you have my respect and Support. Go on make that big thing!
What made you come up with the idea of DTube originally ? Did you get censored somewhere ?
Thanks for the response! :)
I like that fact you aren't lazy and take the bull by the horns and get stuff done! I can tell it fits your skill set.
I would like to write a letter to the UN and ask them if we are allowed to be protopeople who are protected by them because we are peaceful and law is cruel and outdated. Would you be able to program that? Keep the 25 percent ;)
I just hope there is someone out there who can decypher my message and free us all! You could be the one. But maybe that's the wrong way to go. I just want to be free and happy and you definitely could be the one who does it. OMG this gonna be exciting!
@shla-rafia Lay off whatever drug you are on.
I know I may be late but did you every consider making good more mirror sites? The ipfs link does not work for me.
thanks!!!

STOPNot sure where to report bugs, but there going to [www.]dtube.video results in 403.
I have been trying all sorts of stuff to get some videos to submit to the blockchain with no luck. they upload fine but when I hit submit the wheel just keeps spinning. I have been trying to find an answer to this for a while with no luck. Any advise with help immensely.
That is exactly what is happening. I finally downloaded google chrome Reluctantly And it worked. I was using Microsoft edge as a browser with windows 10.
@heimindanger, would you be open to being interviewed about your DTube project? My audience consists of online video creators and I would like to introduce them to DTube as an excellent alternative to YouTube. Please let me know. :) Thanks!
Just got a GoPro 5 and wondering what's the easiest way to get them to Dtube. I have tried handbrake with the web optimized box checked but it doesn't seem to work. I get the "aw snap" error. Tried everything google recommended and still no luck. What am I missing?? Any help would be awesome!!! Sorry I'm not what you would call a computer genius. I know enough to get myself into trouble.
