RE: [Acid Streams] League of Legends ARAM + Ranked
I'm new here on Steemit, so I just wanted to say hello and thanks for sharing all this streaming content!
I just started using Twitch to stream my WoW raids/gold farming/pvp - I"m learning how it works, but I noticed that a lot of people on steemit are using DLive instead.
Is this a better alternative to Twitch? What are the pros and cons? I've never really heard of DLive, so I have no idea what it's about.
Also, do you play or stream WoW at all? I have a 960 ilvl rogue and I'd love to perhaps play together sometime, if you do. Would be fun to stream together.
Thanks in advance, and I'll be sure to check out your other content! @Acidyo
Dlive is integrated into Steemit itself. The chat on dlive is your comment section, so you can interact with the people on your post while you're streaming. Dlive has an account for Steemit where they upvote some of the livestreamers as well, so there's a chance at getting a free vote from them by using their platform. It's a cool platform for streaming, though it seems like they have issues with keeping the stream from freezing/crashing sometimes and I think the quality is restricted to 480p, but I could be wrong. It's better than Twitch in some ways, but I think Twitch's format for the chat is better, personally.
This is extremely helpful, thank you so much for explaining it to me! So basically streaming through DLive gives youa direct feed into Steemit at the same time? So in theory, if your PC could handle it, couldn't you stream on DLive and Twitch at the same time, and double dip on the viewership? Very curious if this would work - if so.... :D
Yeah, you have a direct feed to your Steemit post built into your live stream basically. If you had a beastly PC then I would say, yeah, in theory you should be able to do that. Though, you'd also probably want 2 monitors in that case, lol.
That's so cool! I'm going to have to sign up for it and check it out now, thank you so much! My laptop right now is pretty crap, I can run WoW on low at about 40fps in most instances except for Argus fight haha, and when I stream I drop about another 10. So after I earn my first $1500 or so from Twitch donations/patreon, I'm getting a bomb ass laptop so I can stream like a pro.
Dual streaming seems like a killer way to optimize for sure. You rock!
No problem at all, dude. Good luck on getting yourself a new laptop, man. I'm hoping I can upgrade here soon as well, haha.
Keep on Steeming and you'll have one in no time! Looks like the Steem/SBD price is nuts!!!
You should have been here in December, lol. Steem was at around $6.50-7 and SBD's went all the way up to $17 at one point.
Holy crap, $17?!?!?! That's madness, you guys must have been just poppin' bottles of champagne all day everyday at that price!!
And sorry, my measly 0 cent upvotes don't help much, but I am extremely grateful for your help!
haha I feel ya there
