d.tube Homepage

Welcome. Steemians!

"Hey, you!"

These days aren't' you discover so many things related to Crypto?
Well. this post is about D.tube which is a decentralized competitor of YouTube.

You must know about the incident that took place in YouTube Platform, around the last month.

As per the report, a mysteriousglitch’ shut down accounts run by several of YouTube’s biggest stars last month, as channels with millions of subscribers were suddenly booted offline without any explanation. (Source: Metro)

This is so much frustrating when you are giving your valuable time to create a vlog with loads of useful and quality content - but in the morning, when you wake up and see something like this:enter image description here

One will get a panic attack! Whoa! won’t you?

No matter YouTube republished those banned accounts when the YouTubers acknowledged the YouTube team on the issue.

Still, it is a thing of discussion. Without wasting your valuable time lets get to the point - “ How to Solve the D.tube Login Issues?”

I was quite inactive in these days, but ever since I have made my comeback, I am seeing several steemian using d.tube for uploading their videos.

It is a great step towards the decentralized vlogging platform.

But…

...the real problem is - I saw a lot of people were seeking advice in “Comments” on - “How Could I Use D.tube?” “How to Login into D.tube?”

These queries are expected because people were not provided a Registration Signup page as we usually do for Joining any new Platforms irrespective of nature.

That is causing some confusions among the users! (It is natural, though)

To be clear, d.tube is nothing more than an offspring of our beloved steemit community (My opinion), something similar to @utopian-io

So it works with the same Username & Passphrase as you do for Steemit.com.

Along with the solution to the login issue, I am adding a bit about “How To Compress a Heavily Encoded Video into a Smaller Size" so that it can save the bandwidth of you and the viewer both.

How To Login...

Trying to Login but wondering “How?”

"Ahh, yes, I also experienced something similar"

As you see in the screenshot below, two Parallel Boxes are asking you to insert your Username and Private Posting Key.

I think most of us are familiar with their “STEEM Username” but what about the “Private Posting Key”?

Don’t worry; I will explain you the step-by-step process to obtain the Private Posting Key thoroughly with live Screenshots.

"Eep! Did you remember the “Wallet" of your Steemit Profile?”

Yes. Move on!

Follow the below steps to collect your Private Posting Key under the “Permissions” Section in your Steem Wallet.

  • Step 1 - Head on to your Steemit Wallet as shown in the below screenshot.

Wallet screen

  • Step 2 - Now, you will see a “Permissions” tab. (Click on that) permissions tab

  • Step 3 - In the first ever line (Showing “POSTING” on the left) you can see a “Show Private Key” button on the Right. Simply Tap on it.

  • private posting key

Ergo! Now, you can see your POSTING key - copy the Entire Key and paste it into the Box under the Username in the d.tube Login Page.

So, the first issue on d.tube login is now almost resolved.

If you are interested in “How to Compress & Upload Your Video Without Compromising its Quality," then read on!

Compressing The Video Without Losing Its Quality (Save #Bandwidth :p )

If you are a follower of either @marketingmonk , @dollarvigilante or @exyle you must have seen how interesting stuff they Publish on a regular basis on d.tube these days.

It is encouraging.

The content they show is very much informative.

So, if you are of one kind (Or, a regular Video Podcaster), then you should give a try to @dtube

But… the problem arises when you have a limited Internet Bandwidth and having hectic time with uploading your videos daily. Well, this is embarrassing.

If you used to be a vlogger or are a producer in the YouTube Platform, then you must have noticed that - you usually upload your videos in YouTube in RAW quality because it is inbuilt into YouTube’s algorithms.

To be honest, the “re-encoding” thing is not present in dtube yet.

Thus, if you want to reduce the size of the video, then you need it to re-encode the video at first, before going for direct upload, on your own.

This is a must - because most of the viewers still do not have access to a high-speed Internet like 20-30mbit/s yet. So making it lower in size will result in smooth video play.
