I thought we can put in a bounty for a movie. Huh

Is that not going to happen this weekend? Huh

thats why I want to put up the bounty of vidz. Sad

Did the bounty thing plan change Thats how its supposed to work from the post 01.

Until the ico ends users will not have their own VIDZ with which to place manual bounties. During the entire beta period of the site (from this weekend until the full 1.0 launch) there is a global bounty set from our dev fund of 1KK VIDZ. Everything submitted and approved during that time entitles you to a portion of those coins.

For example lets say there are 10,000 items are submitted during that time and you submitted 10 of them, you are entitled to 1000 of the global bounty (1/1000 of the 1KK coins).

So you mean you'll be offering two sites, one on tor and one on the regular internet?
Huh

The onion domain is simply a backup for those who cannot access the main one for whatever reason or need to use torbrowser due to the situation in their country. Obviously torbrowser is not going to be quick enough to reliably stream with so users would only be using that route to access magnet links and the search engine on our site. Consider it a stripped down 'text only' version of the website for them to access.

How exactly you are keeping this site open and not having an ugly lawsuit? The site is not decentralized? Right?
Getting free money from pirated stuff (i am assuming that's the goal, since we are not going to compete with youtube and vimeo), is kind of slap in the face of copyright owners.
Even piratebay was silent about any money being involved.

During launch the website will be semi-decentralized. This means that the database and web host will be spread across multiple servers in multiple countries and we will be randomly routing users between them using the purevidz.net portal page. We've discussed at length both in the OP and throughout the thread our legal status and our plans moving forward in regards to redundancy. Here is the major points that have been discussed so far.

-Our service and our business model is not illegal in our region.
-The server does not host any copyright materials of any kind making any legal action difficult at best
-Our servers/backup hosts will be spread across numerous countries where American copyright law does not apply making them very difficult to interfere with
-The entire website can be made decentralized through the same technology the streams are using: Latest version of site can be live torrented to populate the website content, magnet link to access that torrent pulled from blockchain.

The reason the 'centralized' server exists to start with is because it makes the load time for the site much lower. The back end content of the site will be automatically backed up using decentralized methods. Regardless of any attempts to interfere with the main site, domains being seized or servers being confiscated the site will continue to run with little to no downtime.

Yes sports streaming will be possible or what is the point, it should have everything.
Now will it be a premium service to watch the sports streams is another matter, dev?

Live streaming is not part of our site design. It is a theoretical possibility but is not something that we plan for our service to cover unless the technology improves significantly.
