Hello everyone,

As we've now entered the final stretch with less than 24 hours before our crowdfund ends, the PureVidz team would like to thank you for your support financially, vocally and socially through Twitter. We're proud to say that we're very close to meeting our goal to proceed with the project as we've wanted.

PureVidz is a platform we started developing because we saw a problem with how media content is currently curated on the web. We've lived through the age of torrenting to see programs such as Napster, Limewire, etc. fall victim to harsh copyright laws, however these programs helped shape the future we live in today. There exists groups today on platforms such as Youtube such as NoCopyrightSounds which "is a record label dedicated to releasing FREE music for the sole purpose of providing creators with the finest sounds to enhance the creativity and popularity of their content, safe from any copyright claims or infringement." The music industry has also adapted in other ways such as the Spotify platform which follows a similar subscription model as Netflix does.

The problem with such platforms has always been things such as censorship and region-locking which limits contents to certain part of the world. In 2017, people are waking up more than ever to greatness that is decentralization that breaks us from the shackles of centralization and these arbitrary restrictions. We can see today how censorship destroys platforms as Twitter as its growth rate has significantly been on the decline. We are strong believers that as technology continues to progress and scale, all widely used platforms will lean towards those that are decentralized.

PureVidz aims to be that service that will lead the way to a fully decentralized media platform where users can easily share their video content. Much like as long as Bitcoin has miners it will always exist, as long as content is seeded and maintained is will exist as per the torrent protocol and be available through our index.

So to all that have invested and supported the project,
The future starts here with you,
Thank you.

Congrats devs, I look forward to using the platform you guys build
