Tomorrow, the UK’s first ever gig powered by bitcoin is taking place. Giving live audiences the ability to easily send money and messages to the artists on stage is a big deal. We need more events like this to show fans and the wider music industry the power of Lightning + Nostr. The show kicks off at 8pm local time on Friday (that’s 3pm EST). Details for the livestream will shared in advance.

Fountain 1.2 is live on iOS and Android 🚀 This massive update brings significant design and UX improvements across the app along with a new episode summaries features. Here's what's new: Library Design Update We've made it much easier to navigate between podcasts and music in your library with the addition of the new content-type filters. The Recently Played view allows you to quickly jump back into what you were listening to before and the design of the content cards have been refreshed too. Content Pages Design Update All of the different content pages have undergone an extensive redesign, including shows, episodes, artists, albums, tracks, clips and playlists. We’ve replaced the tab layout with scrollable pages, improved the formatting of show notes and revamped features like chapters and transcripts. Episode Summaries Every episode page now has a Summary button above the show notes. Simply pay 500 sats to unlock a summary, or upgrade to Fountain Premium for $2.99/month to enjoy unlimited summaries. Summaries and transcripts now come as a bundle, and they’re now faster, cheaper, and more accurate than ever before. Playback Improvements We’ve completely rebuilt our audio engine from the ground up. Playback is now more robust and reliable — especially for music. Tracks now play instantly when tapped, and if you're playing an album, or playlist, you can now skip next and previous seamlessly. We've also made some design updates to the player for easier access show notes, comments, transcripts and chapters, and we added a smart resume feature for podcasts. We would love to hear how you’re finding Fountain 1.2. Please submit your thoughts and feedback via the main menu in the app and we will take it on board as we continue to improve the app. Read more:

Congratulations to the three winners of our Rewind competition. 🎧 Fountain AirPods @RabbitHoleDoc 👕 Limited edition merch @npub1q8r7...cy9z ⚡️ 100,000 sats @OgFOMK ArTS We just announced three more winners on X too.

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, @MartyBent 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.
