incentive to share dtube videos on other social media

[tibfox]

We could create a bigger wave if we have a VP bonus for users who share dtube videos on twitter and such by using the share functionality. I have no idea how to code that but it's an idea we should have written down and we could discuss on.

This is interesting, though it could be a source for abuse. Anyone have any other thoughts on this?

Yes, yes, yes. Linked with #284

To restrict abuse.. you need to make "share" transaction on avalon.. for each social media we support. currently we support 7 social media.. so needs to have a "social share" field under db.account.. by default initialized with 0.. you can only share if the value for that social sharing platform is 0.. every time you share.. on successful sharing.. a "share" transaction can be made that makes 0 to 1.. and that's how we can avoid abuse. But abuse can still happen.. if user uses multiple (100s) of accounts to share his own content.. but that is also probably good for the platform..at least initially.

Another big issue is.. currently when you share dtube content on other platform, no thumbnail image showing up @techcoderx
