RE: DTube 0.2: Faster to serve videos, Stronger to resist censorship

in #dtube • 7 years ago

Had a question I was hoping someone could answer:

I see a lot of videos with $0.00 in rewards that still play. Don't you need to have a reward to pay for the hosting of the video? Why do these videos still play?

    Many possible reasons.

    • Someone else than ipfsstore.it is seeding the file
    • The file is in the gateways 'cache', and if the file is popular it will stay in it

    ah thanks! so if we cant use SP to pay the hosting fees, we can pay the ipfsstore hosting fees directly or host the videos ourselves.
