Hello! Can you be more specific please? Do you mean YouTube is banned in China? Or some other countries? What other Decred content cannot be accessed in the country you are referring to?

[dcrlove2021]

yes , youtube Can't visit in China! You can put the video on this platform, then embed the link into the current media page, and Chinese people can access it!

It is better to use files directly instead of embedded addresses, so that people all over the world can view！

Having .mp4 files hosted directly would be nice but it will require some web admin to commit like 50 GB and traffic for this task. First, let's test if any of our options work in China at all.

Ok that's interesting. Can you access our Odysee account https://odysee.com/@Decred:c ?

I can, because I use vpn, but if I don't use vpn, I can't access it after testing;

Odysee web cannot be visited in China at present，The cpc Chinese dictator does not allow video to be spread randomly

If there is technology to bypass the firewall set up by the Chinese government and provide content publishing function, I bet this website will be very popular！

Odysee runs on the LBRY network (the LBC coin). It might be possible to download Odysee/LBRY content in a peer to peer fashion but I have not researched it. If you want to experiment, here's an overview how it works: https://lbry.tech/resources/download-overview . I'm interested to know if this method will work in China.

Another thing you can try quickly is https://tube.decredcommunity.org/ - another mirror for our video content.

Great Great is ok，But it seems that the network speed is not very fast https://tube.decredcommunity.org/

[dcrlove2021]

no

Videos like this will be deleted in China very quickly; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDAX8UO4ZQA

When you click Play, you need to wait for a few seconds, and then it will play normally, which is good;

Oh good to know at least one option is working for you. Thanks for testing.
