More about DTube

• DTube uses our browsers local storage to store information. It mainly stores data of our user accounts and posting keys. This is done to ensure there are no relogs again.

• It also stores the data of the watched videos and provides a display with option ‘watch again’ facilitating us the ease to watch the video again if interested. It behaves just like YouTube. The point to be noted is if we clear the browser, we have to relog and also the history of watched videos will be cleared.

How DTube Works?

DTube works using the STEEM blockchain as a database. DTube is destined to be decentralized and we cannot have a ready server processing the database. Ultimately using the concept of blockchain is the expected solution. The greater advantage of STEEM over other blockchains is that it is free and to use without any prior deposits of currency. Yet another advantage is that the transactions catch up no number of a penny. A video uploaded on SteemIt will earn its rewards for the initial seven days and the uploaded video becomes a part of the STEEM content. The video put up on DTube will be posted to your SteemIt account by default.
