It's basically like purevidz but you can access it from your wallet, so there's no need for central website that can be taken down by companies or isp or sg-1 or interpol like in PV or other cases. For demo purposes, there will be a central site that will show filtered content, but once the wallets are complete, you can watch/listen/read/download/upload/request/fill-request anything you want from wallet (i.e. node) without a website and without any filters (or with if you want). Since it's out of control of the developer what you do with your own nodes, like the creator of torrents or tor he's not responsible and has no access to tell your node what to do, this crypto can be listed on any exchange including US ones like polo and bittrex. So no filters no takedowns once you can access it from your wallet. If you decide to host a website from your wallet/node, anyone could technically, you can choose what to take down or not on your website (also called gateway).

This is right for the most part.

You can access content from your wallet (full node) through the gateway the wallet provides. A gateway is a web interface so you can think of it like the full node has a web server built into it. You can set up your own full node and play by whatever rules you want or you can use a public gateway and play by the rules of that gateway. By the rules, I mean for example take our public gateway that Novus will be hosting for community use. I will conform to the DMCA blacklist for obvious legal reasons. Since the gateway is effectively a web server, you could make a domain that points to it to access it through a domain to allow others to use your gateway (and there will be incentive to do this).

As you said, the demo site will show how the gateway operates but in a centralized sense. Time isn't wasted by doing this since the interfaces being built will use the same PUSH API interface schema that full nodes will provide, therefore the transition from the centralized interface to a decentralized one should require minimal changes in terms of the client side html/css/js code.

What kind of content will this platform provide in the beginning?
Will it be the same as Purevidz?

Even before the existence of Novusphere full nodes (so decentralization) people will be able to index whatever files, images, videos, etc. they want on the platform so long as it is compliant with the law. If we receive any DMCA take down notices for any content it will be pulled from the index as before centralization, we are legally obligated to curate content.

Before the 2nd part of the crowdfund a variety of SFSIs (refer to OP terminology) will be available and show how searching and rendering will work and continue to work even after decentralization.

So its work like sia coin decentralized storage and the only difference is streaming videos.

Novusphere isn't intended to provide a storage layer which to my knowledge that's the purpose of Sia; It's to provide an index to the IPFS storage layer. The video SFSI (which yes, has streaming) is just one of many SFSIs offered in the grand scheme of things.

so there would be nothing to stop anyone from uploading the really bad stuff like snuff videos and the likes...

that's going to be bringing the wrong kind of attention to the project...

this isn't ethereum that's only faking decentralization, this is what decentralization is. you don't like some data, don't look at it, don't download it, don't link to it, show it to authorities if you want, go help real people if you want and not wage war on arbitrary sequence of bits that don't care. you have basically no right to tell anyone what their computer is allowed or not allowed to transmit. if you dislike crypto and decentralization, you can always use skydrive and myspace.

At the point of decentralization, how people use the platform is outside of control. You can make this into an ethical/moral dilemma but we are not the ones governing that nor are we taking responsibility for how people use the software. As an example the creator of the TOR would be in a pretty awkward position if he was trying to take responsibility for how people use TOR.
