Refer a Friend
The Refer a Friend Program is a way for you to invite your friends to DLive, build your fan base and have the opportunity to earn STEEM at the same time. This program will end on Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 11:59pm PDT (Friday, June 15, 2018 at 7:59 am CET). The winners will be announced on Friday, June 15 and the rewards will be paid out on Saturday, June 16.
Program Details
Start inviting your friends today and earn your share of a 250 STEEM reward pool. The reward at the end of the program is calculated based on the amount of users you have invited, that meet the minimum requirements.
Example: 10 users signed up using your referral code, and there was a total of 100 new sign ups during the program. You would be rewarded with 1/10th of the reward pool (25 STEEM). If you are in the top 5 list of users with the most referrals you will be rewarded with an additional 50 STEEM.
Minimum Requirements:
- Invitee must be registered through the referral link.
- If the invitee is a guest account registered by email, they must have a verified email address and phone number.
- If the invitee has a STEEM account, they must have a verified email address and not have signed into DLive previous to the invite.
- Each invitee must watch at least 2 videos or live streams, and follow at least 2 users on DLive.
If the invitee does not meet these requirements they will not be counted as a qualified referral.
To participate in this program you are required to have a Steem account. To start your program, click on the Refer a Friend link on the DLive homepage.
Based on the success of this program, we may continue this on an ongoing basis.
Retired Wowza Stream Servers
Our legacy stream servers (Wowza) are now officially retired. All live streams will now use the DLive Stream Servers.
The recommended settings when using the DLive Stream Servers is:
Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Video Bitrate: 2500 to 2800
Authentication Needed: No
Encoding: Software (x264) or NVENC H.264
Audio Bitrate: 160
Rescale Output: 1280x720

Enforce Streaming service bitrate limits: Yes
Encoder Preset: Veryfast

Recommended FPS: 30
When using the recommended settings above, ensure that your upload speed is atleast 3.5Mbps. If the recommended settings do not work, try lowering the video bitrate but always keep the Keyframe Interval at 2.
Chat Moderation
We have added the ability to blacklist users from your chat room during a live stream. This feature is accessible through your Dashboard.
New Login and Sign Up Pages
The Login and Sign Up Pages have been re-designed to improve the user experience for new and existing users.

Let's cause a buzz.
The refer a friend program sounds like a great initiative to promote not only DLive but the Steem blockchain!
Developments like this and other dapps like Steem Monsters is what's giving our ecosystem more and more value and thus bringing in more and more users, thank you!
That's right! @cryptoeater
I feel like Steemit hasn't hit its mass potential yet but this program DLive is offering sure will generate a lot more traffic to both platforms.
If this was earlier... :P
Already invited to Steem Blockchain over 4k people and bunch as guests accounts including small and big content creators.
I like change @dlive, I like to look to the future. Thank you for evolving every day and thank you for keeping us informed.
It's great idea but it's really a short time to invite sb without steemit account. They need 1-2 weeks to make it so if you invite sb new he might be unable to make this account on time.
Neverless it's really great idea :)
This is the main thinng I was thinking...
Guest account sign ups are included when you are referring your friends.
So am I wrong that they won't be able to fulfill point:"Each invitee must watch at least 2 videos or live streams, and follow at least 2 users on DLive."?
Don't you need an activated account for this?
You can follow users with a guest account, as long as it has a registered email address this will be fine.
Wow thank you man I completely overlooked it!
Quite good way of making money on dlive

Dlive seems really cool... I was thinking about hosting guided meditations. Would people want to watch these? And can you take videos from dlive and add them to dtube?

@metama If you were to broadcast some guided meditations I'm pretty certain if you find a group of people interested in that and showed them your livestream on DLive, no doubt you'll gain an audience from it.
And yes, you can take videos from DLive and upload them to DTube! If it's your content, you can do as you wish.
wow great update! refer a friend program sounds like a good, thx dlive!
I have currently been streaming to the DLive Stream Servers at:
Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Video Bitrate: 3000
Encoding: NVENC H.264
Audio Bitrate: 320
Rescale Output: 1280x720
Rate Control: CBR
Enforce Streaming service bitrate limits: Yes
Profile: High
FPS: 60
Will I be able to continue using these settings? In fact I would like to increase my bitrate to 3200-3500. The reason being I multi stream to Mixer and YouTube as well via Restream.io and both Mixer and YouTube benefit from higher bitrates.
Yes you are, nothing has changed on the DLive servers. See our help center under https://help.dlive.io/en/article/broadcast-requirements for more infos.
