Thanks Brian

You're welcome.

It does look promising though @brian-rhodes

What does? What looks promising and why?

Can you tell me bitcoin will cros 1500,000 this month?

Please. This is not the place for this!

bitcoin will cros 1500,000 this month. There. I told you.

commenting on stupid comments

I hope they will pick it up! The SMT must be great, must grow, so that we all benefit !

@eljuans... Sorry. I have no idea who or what atmclips is. Here is the original url for the video. I did watch it through. There appear to be no glitches. https://d.tube/#!/v/brian-rhodes/7jh56mpc let me know if this helps? Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the vlog. Just finished reading the whitepaper

What did you take from reading it?

That SMTs give anyone the power to launch and sell proof-of-Brain. And that by leveraging the concepts of inflation and token allocations by post - based voting, SMTs exit in matter where value must be distributed to users who are participating in their related content networks and applications.
Also that the launch of SMTs can be structured for ICOs with hard, soft, and no caps and can be tailored to receive steem and cryptocurrencies on other blockchains. One thing I love so much about SMTs is their immediate access to function unmanned make against the liquid asset, STEEM.
Also that the bandwidth rate limiting has made it possible for steem DEX to be the first DEX to exist without trading fees to the benefit of SMTs creators and traders alike. It was quite lengthy but I did manage to read through and it was so informative. Thanks a lot @brian-rhodes.

Good stuff. That's how you get up-votes on your comments!

Thanks a lot. More educating post sir.

You're welcome. You'll do well on Steemit!

how cool is an old man that you can hear

Hell, I can barely hear myself. What did ya say? Eh?

@ Tim Cliff
https://steemit.com/@timcliff
As a Witnees

When and of course if SMT's do come out they will make a lot of things possible which will be great for Steem and Steemit. Yes, maybe movies also.

It's the addition of the SMT that should open up the gates for Filmmakers.

Yes exactly what im thinking

Very good information @brian-rhodes, you share information that is very useful for all visitors to your article. thank you for sharing and best regards from me, hope we can be friends to share

Are you a filmmaker or in film?

well if it happens,it will be GOOd

Do you doubt it?

Nice

Nice. But in what way?

very good video :)

What was good about it?

thank you for information !!

You're welcome.

Exactly, and I can see more future with it

Are you a filmmaker? What's the future you see?

Xtellent point!

commenting on stupid comments

For those late into a good entry with Bitcoin, you can buy ripple while it's still cheap.

Please. This is not the place for this.

I totally like the concept

What do you like best about it?

I like YOUR concept. It's like we were meant to be. Call me anytime.

commenting on stupid comments

Awesome to hear and think of for that purpose. I think with time SMT's will be funding a lot of great projects via crowdfunding like KickStarter only at much greater ease and with no middle man.

And unlike kickstarter, you and the people you upvote will be rewarded with more than just a t-shirt. If a site is set-up properly, the token could become very valuable.

I understand its content @zacherybinx, but what differences exist between crowdfunding and KickStarter?. And what could that reward be? @brian-rhodes
Regards!

Nice!!!!!

Well I mean with kickstarter you're not only funded with a t-shirt it depends on what project you're funding and what reward you vouch for. But with films it be great in pre-production to be able to fund better costumes, sets, special fx, etc. in advance and then as a result the users who fund that would get digital access or DVD/Blu-Ray (whatever medium at that time) copies once released. Also, I think a lot of people love seeing the process of how a film or show develops so a behind the scenes look at what you're directly funding potentially with SMT's could be a great avenue for independent filmmakers and fans everywhere. Either way great to see this being discussed more and more.

Nice!!!!!

SMT's is not like kickstarter in my opinion, because the different way it works. But it does gonna help new projects like kickstarter does.

A real simple example of this not in film-making but in it's neighboring field is music. Fans can fund albums easily and as a result essentially pre-order their copy. This allows the starving artists to make the artistic decisions they want vs. a label having so much control and receiving x percentage, which if you haven't checked out the documentary Artifact I highly suggest it. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2370718/] So many of the creative individuals are getting screwed by terrible contracts and such. Blockchain and SMT quite simply will help a lot more individuals profit from their work and create new avenues for others to do so. I think ultimately SMT's are a win for individuals but especially the creative types! Worldwide it'll be easier than ever to get the funding you need for your small project. It makes finding a niche and completing a project from home easier than ever. Great time to be alive in that respect!

The SMTs can really take off soon. We'll see what's gonna happen, I totally agree on the ICOs part however.

Many new possibilities will open up on release. It's understanding the subtleties that will make the difference between success and failure.

Cool

MM parece interesante el tema¡

I'm surprised I have not looked at it this way before. Thanks for the information ;)

Thanks. What way were you looking at it?

I'm surprised too. We are all surprised. So surprised, in fact, we would like to surprise you with a commenting on stupid comments flag.

Oh its grrat post

Thanks. But what was great about it, Are you a filmmaker?

Nice

Thanks. There's a lot more to come. What did you find nice about it?

LOL man you are dedicated

Sorry, but you only earn up-vote $$ on your comment by adding to the conversation about the blog topic.

that's fine i'll take the hit on this one.

do what you want, but you don't need to waste your time replying to low-effort comments like "nice"

I think a lot of things are nice. Butter is nice because I can put it on my pancakes and stuff it in my face. Is that the kind of nice you are thinking of too?

commenting on stupid comments

Hi @brian-rhodes!
I am Mawardi from Indonesia.
I've been following you and Upvote you also.

Thank you so much for your information, that's so useful.
would you please give me an upvote, like, and follow @mawardisteemit?

Hi @mawardissteemit. I appreciate the upvote. But, the way to receive up-votes on comments is to add to conversation of the blog - your opinion, how it affects you. It's not just following and up-voting. I appreciate your opinion. If film interests you then by all means follow me. But if film does not interest you I suggest you follow someone you talks about the things you what to talk about. I'll upvote you this time but I do not up-vote comments like this. Sorry.

Really unique way of looking at it! keep it up, sir.

What's unique? Are you interested in film?

Thanks for share. I do not know this.

Are you interested in film?

I love this community !

What is it you love about it?

Well, people on steemit are very nice. Definitely better than ppl on youtube

I agree. Now start building your followers and talk about the things that mean the most to you. And don't forget a comment on someone else's blog is up-voted too. So make sure you take a moment and add to the conversation about the subject matter in the blog. Here's an up-vote because we conversed and you answered. That's how you build friends and followers.

Thanks for help !

You are welcome.

nice bro

Thanks. But what's nice about it? Are you interested in film?

@aashik... people up-voting your posts is only one way to earn. Just keep posting about something that means a lot to you and you will find a following. But also read posts from others that interest you and try to add something to the conversation. We like to engage with people that are interested in what we're doing - not bullshit but real interest. To show you what I mean I'll upvote this comment but next time you'll have to earn it ! Ha!

yes, it really helped me a lot, thanks for the post friend @brian-rhodes

No, thank YOU, because YOU are a friend. Your version of "coco" is so good, it's almost like a bot wrote it!

commenting on stupid comments

Ha ha ha! Cute.

hahahaha thanks friend @littlescribe

How did it help you?

Brian I knew you looked familiar!! Classic scene here... hilarious!!

Interesting

YOU are interesting. I like how you title ALL of your posts with the word "global." It's really..... interesting.

commenting on stupid comments

The idea is to add to the conversation. That's how you earn up-votes on comments. How is the post interesting? Did you read it?

That was a fun scene! Thanks for the memories! Ha!

looks ok i guess.

Thank you

You're welcome. Now tell me what you learned. Engage and add to the conversation and we up-vote your comments!

Looking forward seeing what use cases SMC will provide! Thanks for this.

Love your picture! Ha! Watch my blogs starting with (TOOTTC). These blogs are behind the scenes stuff on a short film we are funding with the rewards from Steemit posts. Watch along. We'll be filming Feb 9-12 in Montreal

Will check it out! :D

Terrific!

Who is thejohalfiles and how he have so big SteemPower? Aliens?

No idea. He may hold a lot invested in steem power as do many many more. I guess if you post something they like they look to support you with an upvote. Their upvote is worth more because of the steem power held. But it's rare they would upvote more than 5 or 10%, same as you and me.

its great ..thanku for telling us

Sorry Bro.. Video is coming with lot of breaks. I couldnt understand the problem origin... Is it network issue.(but i m getting better flow video on youtube..) or its just because the video is running as blockchain tech...... I m getting almost all video of d tube in same way... So I always loss the concentration on topics.

wow knowledge is truly encouraging

thank you .... good look

im just figuring out how this all works iim a newb .thank you for your advice

thak you for this vlog

Thank you for this vlog

wow :) sir if one wants to download this video to show them who arent on steemit .what should he do ?

I've been here a couple days and the insincerity is the first thing that stood out. There are people who share thoughtful comments and you can tell they're just trying to get a vote, but at least they put some time and effort into what they're saying.

The group that bugs me are basically e-beggars with lazy, low-effort "thank you for posting"-type content. It's like chicks fishing for compliments and attention on Insta, but instead of putting SOME work into a cute photo they just snap a pic of themselves laying in bed, messed up hair and face pushed back showing off the double chin.

Use the mute feature. Also, don't respond to them. I like the OP's post, but responding to low-value posts contributes to the problem.

Ooooh! @dunks. Maybe a little too harsh. People are finding their way. Unfortunately Steemit was first marketed as an income generator. It will take time for people to realize that the real success is in more than that. We'll also have the scammers but give people the benefit of the doubt. I'll up-vote you this time because you're new at the game. But next time try to comment on the blog by adding something to the conversation.

wowwwwwwww to hear and think of for that purpose. I think time SMT's will be funding a lot of great project... thankss for share

Very nice post. Thank you bro.

Every day, there are more and more imaginative uses for SMTs.

Very exciting! As a video creator with 400,000 + students I feel now more than ever is the time to create more than ever! Thanks for the video and sharing!

Stay in touch. Lots more around the corner. Than you for your comments!

Yes, and as always with Internet technology the Adult Industry is leading the way with the SMT token VIT (Vice Industry Token).

Sorry, I don't understand.

We are waiting desperately for the SMTs to move our ERC-20 token to the steam blockchain. How much longer do we have to wait? www.crypto-mark.com

No idea.

thank you any way for the info. me neither...

Thanks for your vlog, very informative @brian-rhodes @originalworks

What did you like about it?

Wow! This is gonna be so revolutionary! The ripple effect of crowd funding will be massive...Glad to be a part of this tide, howbeit a pretty tiny one!

It's not crowd funding. It's much more.

Oh yes! I agree with you absolutely

SO GLAD I SAW YOU POST BRO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR VLOGS THEY HELP ME OUT ALOT

How did they help you?

Makes me want to brush up on my film making skills I just learned in college.

You should. This should have as much impact on filmmaking as did digital.

Merci Brian excellent.

SMC has so much future value. Will be interesting to see how this evolves. Steem price will take off for sure, here's my analysis on it:

STEEM & SBD - Update - Analysis (42% and 54% gains) — Steemit https://steemit.com/steem/@benkalashnikov/steem-and-sbd-update-analysis-42-and-54-gains

Looks good, I've got my fingers crossed, Ben!

Thanks!

This is interesting !
Few Days ago not as good as this ! So we hope steemit Keep give us a lot big Big bag of Gaining !

Sorry. Not the place for this!

Gotcha Brian!

wow, good news. We are in Aceh, Indonesia. We work on a foundation engaged in film education. Each year we have 4 programs, including film training for students, general, screening and film discussions, and Aceh Film Festival. This post is good news for us who work independently.

Here is a documentary I made about the steemit community in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital of Aceh, Indonesia

https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@akbarrafs/a-documentary-about-media-and-steemit-community-in-banda-aceh-indonesia

Interesting. It's an interesting testament to the power of the blockchain and steemit's ability to distribute wealth wherever there's the internet and a smart phone. Wow!

True Brian, we are also working on a program called Steemit Village. Where villagers can create creative content for their wellbeing as well.

Maybe you have a suggestion or something? we work entirely in video and film fields

great.

Thank you For your Dtube Post

Sorry. We upvote and follow people who will add something to the conversation. Give us feedback on our posts. Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will be sure to keep that in mind.

You're welcome.

That's for sure! SMTs are going to be huge for STEEM

Just got my domain for the new film site "steem.film" for the Motion Picture Industry Domain registry! Cool!

Now THAT sounds likes a promising domain to hold on to!

Congrats @brian-rhodes!

FAILING -> DO SOMETHING (ANYTHING) ON BLOCKCHAIN -> PROFIT!

I wouldn't go as far as writing anything. You're right to be skeptical though. I haven't seen or heard any major reasons these are a good idea. Everything that's listed exists elsewhere in better forms, so some of these ideas aren't solving any new problem, or solving an existing problem better. A good reason to be skeptical.

I don't get it. Sorry.

I mean that the word "blockchain" instantly adds 50% in your stock value ;)

Dear sir thank you for this vlog me Always reading @Smart Media Tokens thank you For important information

It really seems like SMTs are going to be a massive boon for the Steem blockchain. Fingers crossed we'll see a solid $10 USD soon!

SMT's are a game changer

Let's hope so. We've gotten approval from the Motion Pictures Industry Registry to use the domain steem.film It will be a film site built on the steem platform using the SMT -steemfilm!

I'm certainly going to look into this

Foe what purpose?

Nice post.

commenting on stupid comments

Sorry. That's not the way this works! You only earn up-vote $$ on your comment by adding to the conversation about the blog topic.

Film making and film funding are not so easy.

Very true.

This was surprisingly informational. I agree with your sentiments on ICOs and perspective on the future of SMTs. Social Media has opened the doors for content creators. SMT is the inevitable reaction to that very immediate future

Yes. We have approval to use steem.film from the Motion Picture Academy Registry. It will be for Persons, Associations and Companies involved in the process of making film. The SMT will be the steemfilm token. The purpose of the site - film funding, collaboration and service providers. There will be more announced shortly. In the meantime watch for my blogs that start wit (TOOTTC). The are blogs through which we will fund the shost film - the dry run for steem.film

Excellent post

What's excellent about it? Sorry, but you only earn up-vote $$ on your comment by adding to the conversation about the blog topic.

Intermittent cinematographer here. Just wondering where you think SMT funding will go mostly: for post-production (rewarding for finished content) or pre-production or both? Rewards for a finished product is easy enough to understand but I'm wondering how a pre-production model would work? A single film raising money by ICO is easy for the investor to understand. An SMT project with a big pool of funds could be accessed by budding filmmakers advertising their projects and upvoters can vote (and get some ownership) in projects they like.

SMT is the token. The site built on the Steem Blockchain empowered by the SMT will reflect the community. For example our site will be "steem.film". The token will be 'Steemfilm'. steem.film will be set up for any persons, organizations or business involved in the 'process of making film'. The keep objective is to provide film funding , collaboration and services. Therefore all will be of singular thought, not all across the board in Steemit. As a result you will not need ICO's other than the initial ICO to set it up. Everything will be done through rewards - no pools of funds. Totally decentralized. Besides, ICO's are going to become very expensive very soon when the SEC decides to get involved. Watch my blogs that start (TOOTTC) and watch along as we make a short film funded completely by rewards. This is a short. The next one is a feature.

Another One !!!

Another one what?

Wow, getting beaten royally by an old man at this game .props sir !

No idea!

my dad is younger than you and cant even use a computer lol. And he is a PHD to boot. PHD in health administration for what it is worth.

Ah! I get it. I'm sure he has a hell of a lot over me in many many things in life. And I'm not tech orientated at all. I just look at the big picture and it seems to make sense for me. But in future you can earn a lot by commenting, so try to comment on the subject matter of the blog. Here's an up-vote for the conversation.

Thanks, I usually do pretty good at commenting on the subject matter of the post. But sometimes, it gets frustrating when you spend 30 minutes crafting a comment, just end up at the bottom of the pile of comments and never read. Eventually you just end up making random comments based out of frustration lol. Best of luck in the future. I have followed you and look forward to commenting intelligently on your future posts.

And I look forward to your comments. Everything helps. Take care.

I always try to answer every comment. On this one I'm inundated - over 400!

Wow Brian, that was a very valuable video here. I am thinking a lot about very similar ways to fund smaller communities like you suggest here for filmmakers. I just got a big upvote from @thejohalfiles on my DTube video as well talking about how to create a SMT platform for free with the power of Utopian.io. I think you will be very interested in that idea as it creates a solution for you about how to create the actual dedicated website.

Tell me more?

I would think crowd-sourced funding would be a more effective way of raising funds for a film project where most anyone contributing would not expect a ROI, but would contribute for love of the project. I agree that ICO's must have a potential long-term ROI to attract capital.

Beep! Beep! This humvee will be patrolling by and assisting new veterans, retirees, and military members here on Steem. @shadow3scalpel will help by upvoting posts from a list of members maintained by @chairborne and responding to any questions replied to this comment.

No. Crowd sourcing expects a donation from your pocket. That's asking a lot these days and doesn't do a damn bit of good for the poor in Africa, Venezuela etc. On the other hand, with an SMT one can earn from the platform by posting original content and build not only a better financial circumstance for themselves but the freedom to support what ever cause they choose. It's about freedom. ICO's aren't even a part of it . Watch the blogs I do that start with (TOOTTC). It's a film we are doing funding it as we go along through rewards.

I completely understand that while there is NO ROI with crowd-sourced funding, any income generated for a project on a SMT platform is short-lived... unless that algorithm changes. Otherwise, I believe you lost me in this discussion.

The token is an instrument designed to have a forever life. The platform is the steem platform. The site that is enabled with an SMT is built on the Steem platform. You earn SMT tokens for the posts of original content you make on the site. Keep posting and people will up-vote your post if they like what you're saying and you earn rewards. You can leave the tokens on your site in the hope they will grow in value or you can turn them into cash. You can continue ding that until the day you die. It is not short-lived at all. Does this help?

Are you talking about Steemit? Or another site built on the Steem blockchain? Unless things change, "one post" is not going to raise much past 7 days. I guess you are loosing me when you are claiming to be "raising funds for a project." How do you raise funds for a project that is already completed and posted (enabled) to earn revenues after the fact?

Thank you for this,it led and made things easier for me here on steemit

How did it make things easier?

AMAZING

What is? Sorry, but you only earn up-vote $$ on your comment by adding to the conversation about the blog topic.

Crypto-currency has become an appropriate metaphor for evolving human interaction. Monetizing the actual media is where the future is at.

We want our content Fast, Free, Cloud based and Confidential. Instead of driving web traffic to media in the hopes to sell ads, SMT monetized media, and its influence, is what will drive traffic to the site.

Shared Token Rewards allow entrepreneurs to set up business structures for, let's say, larger operations of content production involving more than one person.

One thing SMT doesn't account for is Click Bait(?) other than the initial $1 investment.

Digging the Rewards Pool... "which encourage[s ...] members to add value to the community through the built in rewards structure."

Sharing primed-user pools among affiliated networks will allow content authors more access to more sites and more eyes without having to branch out and create account profiles for each independent cluster on the network. Effectively, a built in digital networking agency. (Hopefully this will reduce Internet load by removing several copies of the same digital content from myriad websites.)

SMT in my opinion is a great step forward out of Commercialism back towards Humanism, in a round about fashion, albeit.

Nicely said. Now add well defined communities built on humanistic and artistic principles and we could be getting close to Thoreau's dream!

Thank SO much for this video..!

Interesting concept

What's interesting about it for you?

I think SMT's will add a lot of new eco systems around the steem blockchain!

If you mean new sites built on the steem block, you are very right!

Steem going moon

More and more and more avenues for supporting independent film, yes, yes, yes, please. Cheers!

Keep watching. We're using rewards to fund the short film The order of things to come, Watch for (TOOTTC) in the title of my blogs to get the behind the scenes,

Power to you guys!

Thanks.

great....

Promising but not perfect, hell not even the Steemit store accepts steem credit

Good point!

Sorry. I don't get it.

How you doing my man thank you for this post, I have just uploaded a short comedy to my page and wondered if you would have the time to watch it as your an expert. It won best comedy at Aspen film festival. Would love a follow of a fellow film buff. Have a great day Sir. :)

Hey, I just watched it. It was very good. Well written. Well directed. Good techniques - the pair of talking conscious-es ! We acted. What was your role in the film?

Thank u for this vlog

You are welcome. But, you only get an upvote on your comment if you add to the conversation! ha!

let s do @cryptwood and bring 1984, brave new world and fahrenheit 451 back on the screen, with 3D and everything!

That would be cool!

Thanks for letting us know!

You're welcome.... but know what?

It's great to see more options being made available for indie filmmakers. In my opinion, it will lead to more innovation, more creativity and more diversity. In the past, I've been a big fan of crowfunding sites like Kickstarter as a way to involve "the crowd" in choosing what they want to see. Will have to give Smart Media Tokens a closer look... This is a brave new world for film.

Yes. SMT is kickstarter on steroids and it is a 'Brave new world! Are you an Aldous Huxley fan?

Definitely a fan of Huxley. "Brave New World" is a dystopian sci-fi classic. Sort of surprised there has never been a major Hollywood adaptation of the book. At one point, I think Ridley Scott was planning to do a film version. Seems like "dystopian sci-fi" is very marketable these days. Maybe by the 100th anniversary of the book in 2032...

Me too. It would be nice to be around for the 100th! Let's see... 94? A long shot! Ha!

I'm actually only 27. It's the make up that makes me look old. :)

Thank you for a good article. Have a good day :)

Thank you, but what did you find good about it?

Thanks for sharing!! I like Dtube

Damn steem pays out a whole lot

https://steemit.com/journey/@petrovych/i-m-collecting-money-for-a-wedding

Sorry, this is not the place.

yes. everybody must be interest.

Thank you.

what is DTube

D Tube is like You Tube only D Tube is built on the Steem Blockchain. When you post a video you should use D Tube. There is a small fee charged unlike You Tube but when you post on D Tube your post is automatically posted on your page and everyone in the community can see it. D Tube is new so there will be a lot more to come I'm sure. Google it. https://d.tube/ Good luck!

Oh I can't know about that because I am new here. Thanks to tell me....

Love your job!

I don't understand.

superb dear @brian-rhodes

Thanks

Sorry. We upvote and follow people who will add something to the conversation. Give us feedback on our posts. Good luck.

What is Dtube bro? And how to us the D tube?

D-tube is just like You tube but it is built on the Steem Blockchain. You post videos on D Tube and they appear in your blog on the site. It's still in beta but start using it. It will be the posting tool for Steemit and it will get better. You tube is yesterday. D tube is tomorrow!

wow....An amazing introduction of D tube ......I will use the DTube in future

Hi Brian, as a working film-maker I've been really interested in this and four months ago I wrote a really extensive proposal for a new Steemit model of Film Funding. I think you might find it interesting. I'd love if any of the ideas it contains could contribute to a prototype film funding model for Steemit.

https://steemit.com/film/@angusg/a-new-way-to-fund-feature-films-based-on-the-steemit-blockchain

Hi Brian, I really agree with you, SMT's are the perfect vehicle for film funding. I think the best way is for there to be "auction" style feature where people can bid on individual frames inside a film SMT.

In my post from four months ago I wrote about how the mathematics of such a model based on SMT's could work. In this model the individual frames of film in a feature in fact become it's money supply because just by rote of creating a film project of 120 minutes length you create 172,800 frames of film. Therefore the film's length in terms of frames becomes the finite money supply for the project, that can then be bidded on frame by frame in an Auction style context.

I think that if SMT's could pull this off then literally you would see thousands of new low budget and indie films being made every year. All supported by their own investor communities through SMT's, and I agree with you that SMT's are the obvious vehicle. In my article I did describe it as an ICO but what I meant by that was that the film itself is the equivalent to the concept of an ICO - as in the Film itself is the coin behind the film. I agree with you about the regulatory concerns of ICO's.

I think you'll find this article interesting considering everything you've just discussed. As a film-maker I would love to see this model of film funding be created for everyone's benefit. (Mine included) This article is from 4 months ago so I'm not posting it here to earn any money from it, but because the ideas are exactly relevant to what you are discussing and if it any way contributes to this discussion or to you or anyone else being able to build some kind of similar model like this on Steemit I would be one of it's most passionate advocates.

I see everything that you are talking about with SMT's as being the beginning of a whole new film industry, built from the ground up and free from the big Distribution companies being the only ones who decide what gets made and what doesn't.

If there are any ideas in this you or anyone else finds interesting or want to adopt or re-use please feel free to do anything you want with any of these ideas. If even one of them contributes to the eventual model that emerges I would be so happy!
