Is it possible to upload a video?

in blurt •  4 years ago 

My friend @the7world is trying to upload a video.

I know it is not possible to upload a normal video file.

@the7world tries to convert a video file to string.

wow. great. you were bare hand.
I know we can paste youtube links. I tried to upload a short video file but it is not allowed. Let's see how my friend is doing.

You're wonderful and so is your friend.

Video is hard.

We can and will do hard things together as a community.

I would say that for right now, even your friend's idea of uploading it as a string, probably not the right way to go. I can point you in the right direction though.

Technically that's how we should be doing photos and videos. I think that historically that's really only worked so so with condenser, at best and my desire to add video as a first class citizen and in fact any file type as a first type citizen is one of the reasons why I would like to head away from graphene.

Please let me know if I can assist you with this at all And I think that in terms of the blurt app I have a couple of questions

  • User count?
  • When will we put it in app stores?

I tried this work to upload the video data on the blockchain.
First i prepared a video which is under 64kb and replace it with base64.
It is possible to upload a video with base64 in case of the small size.
It costed 15 blurt to upload this video. (64kb = 15 blurt)
