It is nice to meet the creator of Dsound which I have already begun uploading my musical portfolio to!
What I was surprised to discover is that you are personally running the servers for Dsound? Is there no other method where the collective group can control this? Perhaps I am wrong, and I am just confused, but it sounds as if it is not decentralized at all but rather the servers are located, owned and operated by you, so if you decided to pull the plug, bam there goes everything. Is this correct or am I misled?
Thank you for your time and your great contributions to the blockchain revolution and the creation of decentralized platforms for social interaction and media sharing!!!
I only run a few IPFS nodes to serve as gateways... but they don't pine any content. The idea is that users can use the public gateways for submitting freely their content that will be available while cached in many gateways around the world... If someone wants to have their content forever available, then there's the option of installing their own IPFS node locally on their machine and DSound will use it and pine the content there to be available forever to the IPFS network. DSound cannot host any content to avoid having problems due to copyright infringement. Hope this explains a bit. Please join DSound discord server for more support... Thanks! :)
