Hi. I have a question. Is there a possibility of recovering the old 3Speak videos that are no longer available? Most of my videos are gone. Practically all of them. A small bunch is here, but many old posts that included videos no longer make much sense. They (the videos) are listed as deleted, but I never deleted them. I understand that it is a question of storage, but I didn't get how to ensure that the stuff is safe and always visible. Are there some 3 speak tokens that serve as payment for that? And if yes, how to use those tokens? Or is it still like Dtube, where you have the videos in your post until you no longer have them becouse you don't use YouTube? Are the videos completely gone, or is there a possibility of bringing them back under certain conditions?
I mean, they aren't great videos, but they are my memories and aren't too bad either when seen in the context of the posts. I saved some on my computer, and some on YouTube... but some were only on 3 speak, and I miss them. And I also get irritated sometimes when I think of old posts that don't have a video where a video should be. Ok, no one watches old stuff here anyway, but still ... my mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can sense the holes in those posts. I mean, without the pleasure of hoarding and collecting old posts and storing all your memories, no matter how amateurish and crappy they are, Hive feels like a take the money and run platform. Focus on the new, get the rewards, and forget about the past.
Yeah, the same issue here. I miss 83 videos from 2021-2023. Three years of recordings :(
I contact 3spk developers on Discord and it seems that is hope to recover them as they say. We'll see. I don't like to upload 83 music videos again...too much time...
I hope you recover them @borjan. When I first started blogging on Hive I saved my blog on flash drives. Now that I'm older (and the horizon is closer) I realize that I just have to let go of things. In a few years nobody will care what I wrote or when :) It all goes away.
Those last words - that's the healthy outlook on all this :) I agree ... don't care about the topic of this post anymore. Thanks.
🌺🌺🌷
I feel your pain.
Blockchain will keep it forever, they said. We believed...
😕
I just finished reading 'The Book Thief' novel by Markus Zusak
If I may recommend it to you...
Thanks. Always glad to get a book, movie, or music recommendation.
I like the way you put it. :D Those are two very effective sentences. Sounds like a piece of memorable dialogue in a movie ... Or a memorable beginning of a novel.
I recently noticed that my old videos gone too. Did you find out why it’s happened?
Nothing new yet. I kinda got over it overnight ... but it would still be great to learn how these things go, and if there is a possibility to get the videos back.
Am so sorry about that. I am someone that always keeps old videos because of the memories attached to it and I must confess that I pray you recover them
Thanks for the comment and the prayers. :)
This line resonates with me. It reminded me of the time my old files got lost and I hope to recover the art images on Hive blockchain but these were hosted on a private server and that project to where I posted it on shutdown. They weren't great images but they were my art. Hope you can find your videos again.
Thanks for the comment and the good wishes. :)
Really sorry to hear that. Having old videos deleted without your consent is really disappointing. Hope you find some way to recover them.
No, no, no...
TOday, a little while ago, I gave a reply in which I wrote that I post stories and photos on BC, so that I would have something (and where) to return to (my memories and past times), when the memories start to fade.
I can't give you any answer to the question, except to write that I'm sorry that this happened to you, but that I'm also sorry if it's possible that any kind of content that I "invest" in the chain disappears.
Videos are always at risk. They require plenty of storage. 3speak is working on a system to do it in a decentralized way, but there is some stuff about staking some tokens or something to guarantee the videos will stay... didn't understand the whole thing ... that's all fine, but for now I'm sticking with YouTube and my hard drive.
I read about those tokens too, but I rarely use video, so I wasn't overly interested.
And as for data, only this is true: your storage, your data 🙂
I feel for you. Some people use this immutable blockchain to document their lives, create a legacy. Its a genuine and sincere use case for the blockchain....right until the point that you find out it's not immutable and your content has been deleted.
Its wrong. Very, very wrong.
I think that, if I understood the narrative correctly, immutability applies only to text. 3speak is working on creating a decentralized video storage, always if I understood correctly... but I'm not very good with computer stuff, so I don't know how that works or if it's in the phase that works yet.
I'm not sure. I don't even know what's the current state of 3speak now. That's sad. Hoping for you to recover your work.
