We need like two announcement threads for each coin - one for price moontards that helps no one and one for actual Q&A and discussion so people can learn anything about the project.

What happens if website shuts down? Will the client have one hosted on ipfs so we're not reliant on centralized dns & hosting?

We're actually planning to address this around the same time the new UI goes live we'll be setting up our portal website purevidz.stream, while it's fine if people want to keep going directly to purevidz.net lets suppose the unfortunate case scenario that the domain is seized and we need to move to a new one like many video streaming services do, say we move to purevidz.world our portal purevidz.stream will be updated to route you to the new site.

The problem with using IPFS for what you mentioned is it's not quite at that point where it can be used for something like that because of server-side computation. However, it's not entirely impossible.

An example of how something crude but "useful" could be achieved by doing this is setting up a secondary Twitter, we'll call it @PureVidz_IPFS for sake of argument. Regularly, a bot will automatically index the content into a single *.html page which will be a simple table of the movie data and the link to the IPFS hash or magnet link. This page is then synced to IPFS and then the hash for that page is tweeted. Therefore even if the site really went offline, so long as you have any of the previous index IPFS hashes, you should have access to basically a crude copy of our database.

This can of course be heavily improved, but what I described above is a quick and hacky way of doing what you asked. It will definitely be something we consider doing in the future as we grow.

If anyone wants I can upload Dragon Ball Super English Dubbed Episodes as they are released.

Anime is an interesting topic. From what I'm aware, there's really no good API providers for meta data about anime. The best I can think of since most people use it is MAL but the problem is their API is very dated and far from useful. We'd have to write a manual scraper that parses their HTML and uses HTTP web requests and convert it to a useful data format we can work with.

Specifically what I'm talking about is when you're uploading the content on the site right now you search the movie/tv series title and then it auto-fills in the meta data for you... it's not possible to do this at this time for most anime especially newer or currently airing ones without English dubs without doing what I described above.

Later on, we'll make a submission where a user could fill in all this information manually, but if we're realistic most uploaders won't bother doing that. Long story short, I'll look into native support for anime some time after we have the new UI up and ready to go.
