DLive is joining the Lino blockchain, moving away from Steem

Image
Dear DLivers & Steemians, I have some news about DLive to share with everyone on DLive and Steemit. Before I get into the details, I want to take a moment to thank @ned and Steemit Inc. for the support. Steem is an amazing blockchain. It was the first project to introduce its own content-focused blockchain to provide an outlet for those content creators being censored, demonetized, and treated unfairly on other platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch. I sincerely feel that DLive adds value to the Steem blockchain and we have shown the new and existing users of Steemit just how great this blockchain is. However, we have realized that a consumption-based economy is indispensable for the long-term sustainability of any live streaming and video applications. The major source of income for streamers should be highly dependent on their viewers supporting them through various methods such as tipping, gifting, and subscriptions. Now, it is time to start a new chapt

Are you new to DLive and need some information on the platform?  What is DLive?  The Next Generation Live Streaming and Video Community on The Blockchain DLive is a decentralized live streaming and video community, built on the Steem blockchain. It utilizes blockchain mechanisms to incentivize both content creators and viewers in cryptocurrency. DLive believes that all rewards belong to content creators, thus, DLive does not take cuts or charge any fees to its content creators. What separates DLive from current live streaming and video platforms? DLive is built on top of a decentralized platform, meaning the community determines what content should be seen and what content should not be seen, through upvoting or flagging. “DLive” the platform will never censor original content. DLive is offering all live streamers and video authors a chance to be recognized and rewarded for their efforts. DLive has a dedicated Content Management Team that views live streams and videos

v0.2.0: UI Now Optimized For Mobile

Intro We’ve received a lot feedback over the last little bit about DLive and its functionality. This has allowed us to put in focus on how to improve Dlive for you, the users. We would like to thank-you for it, as without it, DLive would not be a fraction of what it is today. We’ve made some big changes that improve your day to day use of DLive. Mobile Optimization Our new mobile UI gives users a smooth renewed experience via their cellular phone. This has been a larger request, and we are happy to finally provide this improvement. Taking DLive on the go has never been easier! New Site Functions – Lazy Load & Load more We have implemented a “Lazy Load” function which delays the loading of images in each section until the live stream images and videos have been fully rendered. This implementation lets you know that the streams and videos are being loaded instead of showing a blank screen. The other function we are happy to reveal is the load more option. Now

Happy 6 Month Anniversary!

Today marks a very important day for DLive. It has been 6 months since this platform received the delegation from @ned and Steemit Inc. Without their support, we would not have this great opportunity to build, the next generation live streaming and video community, on the blockchain. What an amazing 6 months it has been for DLive. In terms of development and operations we are right where we need to be, but what we are most proud of, is the Community that DLive has built. We often hear from our users that DLive has the best community and service but the DLive Team firmly believes in continuous improvement. We will continue to improve our platform and support on our end, and we hope that the Community will continue to grow. We wanted to share some of the accomplishments of DLive, that everyone might not know. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without everyone who has been using our platform daily. DLive is the largest live streaming DApp in the world. DLive.io

I'm All in on DLive, Are You?

It has been a while since we have had an update from the Development Team. The whole team has been hard at work and since we are approaching DLive version 0.8.0, I wanted to give the current users, and future users of DLive something to look forward to. My team and I are constantly looking for ways to improve the user experience. This has always been one of my highest priorities. I want every person that uses DLive to feel a sense of ownership and to be proud, to be apart of this great community. I also want to welcome all genre's of content, there seems to be a status quo of gaming attached to live streaming, when that is not the case anymore. I love seeing a wide variety of content on DLive and I hope that this will continue. Here are some of the features and upgrades that will be coming soon. Video Storage Have you ever been to a site and your video did not load or was missing? Video Storage and Performance is so critical for all of our users. DLive values all video
