@boo-bury @bitpunk.fm is typing @ChadF and 33 others @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 Remember when I said I’m not trying to convince anyone, I’m trying to be a radio beacon for those that are already convinced so we can find each other and build something new and beautiful. Maybe we found another one. View quoted note →

Since I already have MSP for building music RSS feeds, and LNBeats for consuming music RSS feeds, I figured I can start learning how to maybe put music into notes so the musicians could have their music available in nostr for v4v as well. Having a project is a good way for me to learn something new. Then I remembered @Wavlake did something a few years back called Wavman, and it's very similar to the idea I had. I think the Wavlake guys are super innovative, and I've reached out to them from time to time with issues and bug reports, because although I have my criticisms, they're making things easier for musicians, and by and large, I think they want to help out musicians. I don't even care that they're making a business out of it and charging for their services, handling hosting is a big deal that they make easier. There's a problem, and they're charging for a solution, that's how the free market works. I just want them to open their player to all the musicians, even those that choose not to host on Wavlake. nostr and RSS are meant to be a protocol that allows a musician to choose where they host their content, and any and all clients can find that content and play it. They are truly open protocols. It doesn't look like much came of Wavman, maybe too soon for it's time. But I think it's an idea still worth exploring, so I'm going to continue playing around with the idea, and see about hosting artwork and mp3s on satellite.earth, or maybe a Blossom server (I'm not sure how to use one of those yet), and then having the necessary metadata in a note to allow all nostr clients to be potential music players. If we can figure out and widely implement splittable zaps, or maybe wide adoption of Bolt 12, I think zappable media in every nostr client is highly feasible. The musicians will have the potential to get financial support for their art and the listeners can use any client they choose to support any v4v enabled musician they choose.

I find it interesting that people are always talking to the "normies" and saying we need to simplify things for the "normies" and we need to make things so they appeal to the "normies". What a egotistical and self righteous view!!! By "normie" they mean that you're less intelligent than they are, and they need to dumb things down for you. It mean's they're more enlightened than you, and need to treat you like a child and 'simplify' things, as if you're a simpleton that needs to be spoon fed your bite sizes pieces of slop. Fuck that! You know why I don't appeal to the "normie"? I don't believe in them. I believe there are people that are willing to learn and those that aren't. I want to empower people, not enable them. I don't want them reliant on me, I don't want to cut up their food and feed it to them, I want to teach them to hunt and skin and sow and reap and prepare their own food. I want to teach them that they are powerful people that don't need to rely on others to spoon feed them simplistic bullshit that keeps them enslaved to the cult of convenience. I don't build for the "normie" because you're better than that, and you deserve better than to be treated like an imbecile that needs their hand held every step of the way. You don't need a podcast host, you don't need a video host, you don't need a music host. They've got you tricked into believing you're a dumbass that needs to pay them to do something as simple as dragging some files into a folder. And make no mistake, when you host your stuff on another platform, it doesn't matter what the hype is today, they don't give a fuck about you and will remove your content if it affects their bottom line. Any of this talk about freedom but you need to use their service is marketing and appealing to your desire to finally find a safe place for your content without the risk of it being removed. What we do isn't hard, it's just new to you, and what one man can do, another man can do. Don't jump into the easy solutions for hosting your digital content, you're better than that, and you have a real opportunity to actually take control of your art and control the means of distribution, and you don't need to rely on another platform anymore. You are the platform, if you want to be. If this appeals to you, reach out. There's a whole crew of dedicated freedom fighters ready to cheer you on, help you build, and support your work, because we know that once you taste true freedom, you'll never go back.

@hzrd149 How hard would it be to have a button on noStrudel, and when I push it, I can download a file with all of my notes that are currently saved across all the relays? Seems like I don't exactly need a relay to save my notes. I can save them on my hard drive, and if I need to republish them, a simple drag and drop interface to upload them to a client that sends them back out to the relays again would work.

@hzrd149 Why are notes only zappable once?
