RE: First DLive upload: Holly McNarland's "Beautiful Blue"
So I have some concerns about a livestream in terms of quality of the stream, and about getting regular Steemit users to watch it on DLive - there is commonly a lag, so I am experimenting with having a youtube video in the post as a backup - but it looks like I lost Dlive attention with that on the last one (makes it hard to accept the 25% cut without good reason--greater upvotes, etc.). Do you have any suggestions?
Where are you located? We are actually in the process of upgrading infrastructure and making the whole live streaming user experience better. Take into account that we are only 4 months old and not even at a version 1 yet. Also what do you mean the 25% cut? Are you talking about the curation reward that is part of all steem payouts?
That's awesome news! It really would be great to have a way to do a great livestream. I'm in Canada - how does that shake out? Oh, and don't worry, it's not a strong criticism!--I just want to be able to weigh whether it's something I should put time into doing if it's still in process.
You guys don't take the 25%? My understanding was that the decentralized apps took a cut (dtube and dsound do). It's awesome if you don't, and makes me much more likely to post there, even if I'm not getting a ton of traction at the beginning!
Thanks for your work. I'm interested to see how things unfold in the next stretch - so far I do like it and am excited to see the interface develop, etc.
Hey! Sorry for the late response, but DLive does not have any beneficiary rewards (25%). 25% goes to curation and 75% to the author and that's it. DTube and DSound do have beneficiary rewards, I'm not sure on the exact percentage but I know it exists.
I'm in Calgary and my live streams are pretty decent in terms of quality with my OBS settings at 720p @ 30fps. I do have Telus 150 download / 150 upload so that is probably why as well. If I can help out in any way just let me know!
Just saw you are in Canada, too! Very cool! More points in DLive's favour :)
