Fountain 1.1.16 is live on iOS and Android 📲 Nostr Live Streams 🎥 If you follow shows like @RABBIT HOLE RECAP , @THE Bitcoin Podcast or @Simply Bitcoin on Nostr, you can now watch the video in Fountain and hang out in the live chat as it’s being recorded. You'll find livestreams from people who follow on Nostr at the top of the home screen. As well and live podcasts, you will also find live music events from @PhantomPowerMedia , radio stations like @NoGood ✌️ and @Noderunners Radio , as well as channels dedicated to gaming, art, coding and much more. Bringing creators and fans together through live experiences enables audience participation and creates a special feeling of community, so we’re really excited to get this into your hands. Nostr livestreams are a beta feature - i.e. we still have a lot more work to do! We will continue to make improvements to livestreams over the coming months - so we would love to hear your feedback. Storage Manager ⚙️ We’ve added a storage manager in the app’s settings so that you can view file storage size for audio downloads, video downloads, transcripts, image cache, feed cache, and temp files. You can delete all files in any of these folders to free up storage on your device so that Fountain continues to run optimally. There are other performance and stability improvements that we are working on too. For example, in the next couple of weeks we will be rolling out an image proxy service, which should reduce mobile data usage and optimise storage. Stay tuned for further updates and, as always, thanks for your support.

We are now live with @npub1w3my...jh9z over on Fountain Radio! How to tune in and join the chat: 📱 Fountain app (fountain.fm/download) 💻 Fountain web (fountain.fm/radio) ⚡️ Zap.stream

Playing unlicensed music in your podcast is illegal. However, playing "Value for Value" music in your podcast is fair game because listeners can pay the artist directly - in Bitcoin. Podcasting 2.0 fixes this.

Which podcasts did you support on Fountain in 2024? Post a screenshot from your Rewind and tag @Fountain for a chance to win: 🎧 Fountain AirPods 👕 Limited edition merch ⚡️ 100,000 sats Winners to be announced tonight!

Fountain Rewind is here ✨ In 2024, creators on Fountain embraced open distribution via RSS, open payments via Lightning and open social via Nostr. Listeners sent a total of 2 BTC to creators this year. That's equivalent to $127,900 based on daily prices but would be worth nearly 50% more today. You streamed 63 million sats and sent 40,000 boosts, with an average boost value of 3,380 sats (around $3.20). Let's see who picked up the top awards in 2024... MOST SUPPORTED SHOW: RABBIT HOLE RECAP @RABBIT HOLE RECAP RHR has quickly become one of the most-loved shows among Fountain listeners (affectionately known as ‘freaks’). In 2022 they were #3, in 2023 they were #2, and in 2024 they finally claimed the #1 spot. Congratulations, @Marty Bent and @ODELL. SHOW WITH MOST SUPPORTERS: MR OBNOXIOUS @Peter McCormack In 2024, What Bitcoin Did came to an end to make way for Mr Obnoxious. Peter McCormack announced that @Danny Knowles would be the new custodian - much to the relief of the 800 listeners who supported the show this year. MOST SUPPORTED EPISODE: LINUX UNPLUGGED | 545: 3,062 DAYS LATER @Chris Fisher One of three popular shows about open-source, security and privacy from Jupiter Broadcasting to make the top 40. Makes sense once you know that listeners boost their zip code (pricey if you live in Alaska). MOST SUPPORTED ARTIST: AINSLEY COSTELLO @Ainsley Costello Ainsley's music is the pop soundtrack of the next generation. Since “Cherry On Top" became the first track to hit 1 million sats last year, she has inspired countless artists to follow her path, becoming the face of this new movement. ARTIST WITH MOST SUPPORTERS: MAN LIKE KWEKS @Man Like Kweks When Kweks isn't working his 9 to 5, he's making beats from his bedroom in Tanzania. He may have earned just $25.68 from music royalties, but since first publishing his music on @Wavlake he’s earned 2.3 million sats (over $2,000). MOST SUPPORTED TRACK: ABI MUIR | STOCKHOLM Born in Scotland, residing in Australia, Abi’s goosebump-inducing vocals and heartfelt lyrics define her songwriting. In Stockholm she explores a darker side to her music that crosses into alt-rock, topped with Muir's sultry vocals.

Spotify hired production companies to publish music by "fake" artists to add to popular playlists to reduce their royalties payouts. The victims of this scheme are real artists who are not getting playlisted and not getting paid. Do better, Spotify.
