Thanks for following me!

The process doesnt work clearly. I havent used 3speak in ages, too unreliable and no support.

In support they have a lot of daily work, almost non stop work! I hope they're be able to come with a global fix on those daily issues!

Perhaps then best to give it up if they cant manage.

Like I said, maybe go offline for a while and come with main issues solved, it would be reasonable and understandable!

Agreed.

Way better than YouTube, it is easy to use and I like to use 3Speak all the time.

Good to know you like it :)

I love 3speak because it's the main video integration on ecency. I regret having uploaded my first vid on dtube because I had to use third party (youtube) for it and the frontends pick the embed up as a yt video instead of dtube.

However, a video hosting platform is no joke. It takes a lot of upkeep and funds to run one. That's one reason why web 2.0 video hosts like Wistia and Vimeo have monetization options. Storing and streaming videos demands a lot of resources.

Much love and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comment!

> Storing and streaming videos demands a lot of resources.

Maybe because of that 3Speak is the app that take more rewards as beneficiary from content, 11% of rewards.

Correct.

Hi @starkerz!
You probably have read the post, any comment about how you (team) will get rid of the common issues?

trying out best. important to have vaultec working on the BTC bridge, as this is critical to Hive's security. we are refactoring the 3speak webapp at the moment. then after that we will move resources onto fixing the database and encoding issues

I'm not figuring what does vsc have to do with 3speak's daily problems. I think you know that there are daily complains on issue channel and sometimes is the support that have to upload and encode users videos one by one, do you know?
Don't you think this is incompatible with one of Hive's most promising apps in terms of potential and onboarding. It sounds very crafty and unprofessional, don't you think?
I hope and I wish you, without any irony, all success in making 3speak a bulletproof app.

.

Ye, thanks. Im well aware. Trust me, it hurts a lot more when you have put your own money and resources into it to end up with such a product.

Id have appreciated you DM me for this info, instead of putting it publicly on chain BTW, it is normal behavior to ask ppl before you publish articles about them which would probably have changed, had you had the discussion before you publish.

We are doing our best with the resources we have to make 3Speak a good as we can.

3Speak has a lot to do with VSC. our main dev is diverting resources to build it.

the BTC bridge is critical to hive, far more so than 3speak. 3speak will get better over the next few weeks and months.

I hope you will have the decency to contact the projects you write about before you publish in future.

Good luck

> Id have appreciated you DM me for this info, instead of putting it publicly on chain BTW

Why would I contact you via DM about a subject that is of interest to the entire community? Why should I hide my opinion, and the opinions of others behind the scenes? I have nothing to hide, I hope you don't either.
I'm not understanding what you mean...

> We are doing our best with the resources we have to make 3Speak a good as we can.

I believe and I have no doubts!

> I hope you will have the decency to contact the projects you write about before you publish in future.

Decency??? Still not understanding what you mean... Am I lying or saying something wrong?

Let me tell you from where my post comes.

I have a huge collection of Hive/Dapps animation in full hd video format that I would like to upload on 3Speak but I don't (actually I can't find some videos uploaded 2 or 3 years ago, I think they are lost), and I don't because there is always problems when I've tried, or upload or encode, etc.. and I can't wait 5 hours to have a 10s video available to be posted.
Videos that could be available to all, to post on Twitter or whatever.
To share them I have to convert to gif, lose resolution and quality.
And it's not just me that give up of uploading videos to 3Speak as you should know.
What I'm asking, publicly (because I believe in freedom and others opinion and don't believe that the solution lies in hiding things and not talking openly), is to try to fix these daily issues.

I wonder if post was saying that 3Speak is the best app in the world, my decency reputation would be better and it would no longer be mandatory to contact anyone via DM.

Not saying you are hiding something, just when commenting on a project critically, like you are doing here, it is normal journalistic practise to reach out to the side you are criticising prior to publishing, as you can help your audience by telling them the comments you obtained from those you are critiquing in the story you are publishing before it becomes a critical only article and creates a false image about the project you are critiquing

@starkerz I understand it's not the best thing seeing someone talking about issues of your project, I really understand, but I'm not a journalist and as you know in the news world there are strange things, questions pre determined, answers truncated and manipulated, etc, etc, etc.
Here we are better than that, I've talked about the issues and made questions, you have the opportunity to reply in front of all without answers manipulated, take out of contest, etc. It's you that produce the answers and not me that present them to "my audience". Like that you can dismantle the false image that I created, if I created any.

The world doesnt work like that. you should give a chance to respond before reporting.

My bad! Let's move on then. You have the opportunity to respond here now.
Or better, make a post explaining how things are working, what doesn't work like you would like, what must be fixed, what are you doing to improve user experience.
Let's talk openly and without fears. People tend to understand the issues when they are explained. There's no reason to hide things. I didn't saw a post reporting the last 2 days offline but maybe I was distracted, did you made any report?
Once again, do you realize that there are some people that give up on 3Speak due the upload/encoding problems? Don't you think it was nice to give and highlight to those?

I dont hide anything. I have nothing to hide. Im not sure what you are implying here. We do an open podcast every week called CTT and we just held our public call in our discord.

That is the best place to hold us to account. All of the devs are there and you can ask them questions directly, live on the call. its in 3Speak discord at 9am PST every Thursday.

I know people have given up due to encoder issues. but unfortunately, Hive needs a BTC bridge more than it needs uploads, and no one else seems interested to help build it or even recognize the problem, so my resources are allocated there at the moment.

Fair enough and understandable, at least at concerns to me. I'm completely satisfied with your explanation now.
I will say even more (my opinion) better focus in one project than disperse energies in multiple and leave everything at middle. All success to VSC!
We could have saved a lot of sentences if you had given you that answer right away lol

All the best!

We could also have saved a lot of sentences had u come to me first before publishing. At least These comments will speak for themselves.

Yeah they will be forever on the Blockchain and everyone can see them. It's the beauty of Blockchains.
Unlike my DM conversations, they also stay forever on Dm's ;)
