hahaha. The infamous queue. I'm afraid you just have to wait on the queue. I think those are actually other people waiting to upload/encode on the servers. Limited resources :)

I'm sure you already know this now but:

Oracle - one of the largest companies in the world, they've been around for ages and are a technology (Computing) company. You may have heard of the "Oracle Database".

Oracle-D - A company formed by two fellow Steemians this year to bring large investments into the Steem network by leveraging actual real companies and investors - promoting Steem to them and convincing them to hold large amounts of Steem and a long-term investment. The idea is that Oracle-D can then hook them up with Steemians with various skills (You and Me) to perform different tasks (jobs, functions, promotions, whatever) these companies need and we get paid in Steem. This turns Steem into real life currency backed by real-world investment and economy, making it more sustainable in the long run, and of course taking steem to the moon!
