Dtube – A decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS • Hacker News Board

Can there be a general explanation for what all the things including the cash symbols mean and how all the videos sourced from (like using IPFS) if its not too privately protected?

Much thanks!

If you're not familiar with STEEM or its currency, you can check the FAQ. [1]

thats what the users earned by getting liked by other users

How liquid are those earnings? Can they be withdrawn easily and converted to BTC/USD?

My impression is that it is all within the first 20 days after posting,

but I haven't looked into it closely and could easily be remembering incorrectly or have misunderstood.

The earnings are in the form of Steem Power, Steem,and steem dollars. The latter was apparently an attempt to make a stable currency, which tracked the dollar, which failed to live up to its goals.

Steem power is very illiquid and takes time to "power down" the steem power into steem. Steem is the main currency, which you trade on the markets (along with Steem dollars).
