Snapshot:

BitTube ecosystem milestones

BitTube browser upgrades: Medium term

We intend the BitTube browser to become a pillar of the ecosystem. It will enable true decentralization where every user will participate in the network in multiple ways.

- Tor integration
- Local BitTubers frontend integration (i.e. domain can't be censored)
- p2p storage node capability and interface
- Native offline GUI wallet node & interface
- Auto updater
- Seamless switching between p2p/cloud on BitTubers.com (not Browser related)

Mobile Messenger App (name TBD): Medium term

- Based on Signal (p2p, encrypted).
- AirTime integrated
- Wallet integrated to send/receive funds
- Exploring deep integration with the BitTubers platform:
 - All-in-one app
 - Push notifications
 - Private messages & chats
 - Integrate BitTube browser itself

Extension/Module updates: Medium term

- Browser extension: The extension should become an accessory, not a requirement. Make it lightweight. Reduce bloat, improve performance and security by modularity. Move certain features to the AirTime module, to bittubeapp.com or to bittubers.com, such as wallet, verification, account management, statistics, etc.
- Extension feature for linked social accounts: Cross-publish your posts/comments from other platforms automatically or manually. This could be useful to auto-publish your YouTube videos to BitTubers, for example.
- AirTime module: improve detection of elements and fair AirTime distribution when mixed content is shown on the page, including external embedded content.

Protocol (blockchain): Long term (TBD)

- Move to AirTime-based PoS (useful work):
 - Exploring different models: Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Hybrid PoW-PoS, high interest in Proof-of-Capacity (BURST protocol).

Welcome to the project.

1. We will introduce verification levels to allow more people on 1 IP (phone number verification all the way up to KYC relating to our debit card launch). It's an even bigger deal for university campuses for example. Keep an eye on the weekly updates.

2. If multiple machines watch on the same IP it'll result in rejected Airtime, but it's fine if it's one or the other.

Autoplay stops after 2.5h of non-activity.

There's a giant flaw in your model. Only 1 public IP is allowed per viewing instance and autoplay does not work 24/7. This is all airtime is about, it's not just a dumb stopwatch. So what it really comes down to is this, best case take the cheapest VM you can find, and that is your break-even that you have to hit monthly. Currently the cheapest you'll find for 1 core + 1GB RAM is around $6 per month.

Thank you. I think every little bit helps and it eventually pays off. Five weeks ago we launched Airtime. This has alleviated the block reward that miners can pressure the market with, and at the same time is continuously spreading many tubes to many hands, which is good for adoption. With a higher price come more miners, again reducing the stake that big miners have. The system is working so far.

I told you already, there is no 25% devs are taking.

There's nothing wrong with our documentation. It's your reading comprehension or 3-second attention span.

Good luck.
