What is DSound?
DSound is a decentralized web application, developed in Javascript and React, that allows anyone to upload, listen and discover music and other sounds stored on top of the IPFS Network. It uses STEEM blockchain as a persistent database, and by posting the sounds the authors can earn rewards in STEEM cryptocurrency, when other users like their content, which can be exchanged easily to US Dollars, Euros or any other currency, similar to Steemit.com for blog posts.

About 
My huge thank you to everybody who delegated to
As most of you certainly noticed
But we managed to strengthen the curation team, now counting with 3 curators and myself, which has resulted in more than 300 artists being rewarded properly in DSound, and this number growing everyday! :)
It is such a big deal for us, as curators in the platform, to get to the Trending or Hot pages and see only great content coming out of DSound, with such proportionate and interesting payouts. We're really proud of the achievements of curation in only 1 month!
In this first month 
The Top Delegators
Please go check out these guys! Most of them are artists in DSound that want to support the curation effort... Thanks a lot guys for giving back to the platform! :)
And to all the other people that didn't delegate yet, please do so... It is very important to build a strong curation account to build up our power to keep this platform with great incentives to our artists and sound creators!
It's phrases like these that make me wake up everyday and give the best of me to this project:
Hey friend! I don't know if you know me , but I am one of your biggest fan! You changed my life few weeks ago when I started actively posting on dsound every day.
It really enabled me to create more content , to dedicate myself to your platform and more importantly to believe in myself in a way that I haven't for years , I can feed my children doing what I love, so a big thank you to you my brother from Lisbon.
Hopefully one day I can meet you in real and shake your hand or buy you a beer :)
DSound is this! <3
DSound Discord Server (the tribe gets connected)
Please join our Discord server at:
There you'll find a few channels to have everybody from our growing community getting together and making DSound even better.
We invested a significant effort in organizing this community server and now we have rules, a set of channels where people have great chats, or support and suggestion of features... Thanks to all participants! It was tough at the beginning but paid out in the end. Now we'll add few moderators to help curators with normal day to day activities of the server, stay tuned for the announcements...
The steemit.chat channels will continue but will be less checked from now on...
What's new in DSound v0.3?
Ready to find out what else is packed in this new release? Come on, grab a cup of coffee, sit down and relax...
Active discovery of public IPFS gateways
In order to make DSound streaming and content delivery faster, it now starts with a predefined gateway and then initiates a connection with each of the available gateways to identify the faster one, with lower latency.
This means that DSound should be more responsive and it will be less frequent to see missing cover art or sound waves.
Extra error checking and fixes on Upload
There were a few of you that didn't get their tracks uploaded, and I worked with a few to figure out the problems and correct them. Thanks a lot to the folks that had the patience to send me all the information I needed to correct this and implement extra error checking on this important part of DSound.
New DSound IPFS upload gateway
Yes, probably you remember last Saturday, that DSound was left without upload for a period of 10 hours...
Well, DSound supplier of IPFS gateway told us that he would go to shutdown the gateway in 5 days on Friday. So I was planning to use those days to deploy my own gateways exclusive to DSound instead, reducing the friction for whenever some management operation was needed.
So, during my sleep from Friday to Saturday, the gateways were shutdown and I woke up with a huge list of messages in Discord with problems with upload. It was already out of service for around 5 hours and I had to configure the new server, the IPFS and all those tricks to make it work, the fastest I could!
And so I did... It took around 5 hours to put up, and now we're back to uploading craziness! :)
