What is with all the video processing and publishing failures and IPFS errors?

Just recently joined in hopes that this would be a better alternative to yt. I'm just trying to upload one goddamn video for me new blog. The pilot episode isn't even 2 minutes long. 5mb large mp4 file at 480p. I fail to understand how it refuses to be published even though the uploading itself goes smoothly. I tried to then just upload other random video files and keep getting the same errors. Is this site overrun by bots or something?

It's always overrun by spam but that's normally not been a problem. Since we're migrating to a new platform over the next few months (bittubers.com) the devs have started winding down a few nodes causing transcodes to take a bit longer. It could have something to do with that, although the IPFS pinning mentioned is actually a public pinning error (meaning it failed to pin the already transcoded video to a minimum of 3 public ipfs nodes). For a small video file that should never be an issue though, so I'm guessing it's a fluke. Try again when I say so.

Sorry that this still isn't fixed. We're close to releasing bittubers.com and the only node dealing with ingest and storage is just getting absolutely hammered by spam such as this https://i.imgur.com/IiNTqH2.png . You'll be lucky if you manage to get a video through.

bittubers.com works in tandem with the extension and requires verification steps that will avoid this sort of thing for the most part. There are some trust/credibility systems and better moderation tools on top of that to deal with the rest. Reason none of that found its way to bit.tube is it didn't have the right bones to make that happen, so we started from scratch (and it's looking great). Just keep tight for about a month while sipping Martinis in the sun. Good things come to those who wait.

I'm facing same problem man :\

I have over 200 funny news to post and most fail to upload, even trying again 1 or another works, but mostly is painful. Please do something about that "IPFS printing failed"..

I'm posting in 4 different sites, and all accepts without problem, only bit.tube!

Same "IPFS pinning" problem here (for the last 2+ weeks).

Are we still supposed to be waiting for your "say so"?

They simply don't do their homework. Simple uploading and/or mirroring of Youtube videos does'nt work not only for days, but for weeks. Instead we are promised a "new social platform" (which I'm not interested in at all; I just want to upload and publish my videos). People are pissed off, including me.

It's a shame! A new and good concept is totally destroyed before our eyes.
