Bug Reports Here: https://t.me/+NCqewc8q0eU4NzYx https://getalby.com/p/steven Artisanal Coder. You may know me from such apps as: LNBeats, The Split Kit, Sovereign Feeds, Music Side Project, CurioCaster, & TranscriptSearchTool
I understand something like being lnaddress exclusive is going to be different than how things have been done before. But different payment options have been available since the creation of the valueBlock. At any point, someone could've decided to use Hive or Monero as their payment protocol. Any podcaster choosing that payment method would not be able to receive value from some apps, or the app would've had to build for a different payment type. lnaddress only is fundamentally no different.
We just stress tested The Split Box. It was able to support the Satellite Spotlight, an event that sent 2.2 million sats worth of boosts, 1.2 million of them being through TSB. The means the listener was able to scan a QR code from the wallet of their choice, and over 20 splits were handled on the backend. This means you can paste your QR code on fliers, merch, the drumkit, and your fans can boost from the wallet of their choosing and each band member gets their split. image
With Alby sunsetting their free wallet, and LNPay sunsetting their wallets a few years ago, I think we need to have a discussion about how to move away from hardcoding lightning address into the feed. If I was a guest of a podcast and have a split, and then my address changes, the podcaster now has to update their feed to change my wallet. It's a hassle.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALUE TIME SPLIT!!!! VTS is one year old this weekend, May 5th. Listen to the first ever episode of a podcast displaying the power of the magic wallet switching technology, on Podcasting 2.0 Episode 131 and listen to the first ever value time split song, High Gravity by Joe Martin. Whenever you feel like things aren't moving fast enough, look at moments like this, and see how far we've come in only a year.
@npub1ln5q...xyw6 Hey Dave, when you get a chance, somethings going on with this endpoint. podcasts/bymedium?medium=music&val=lightning&max=1500 I changed the max to 1000 and to 100, and also removed the val=lightning, but same results each time. Right now the index is only returning 58 items. I'm also getting a lot of timing out with the request.
Because I love self-hosters so much. Self hosted feeds get the top spots in LNBeats. I display them in a random order each time you visit, but they're always at the top of the list.
@npub1ln5q...xyw6 I'm wondering if something is up with chapters being returned from the Index. I've had three reports from different podcaster about the different apps all having different chapters, and concerns with caching. I know CC gets the link to the chapters file straight from the Index, so it may be something going on with the Index.
Music Side Project now has an in-app tutorial that walks you through hosting your album on your own WordPress server. I use Hostinger, but anything like Dreamhost, a2hosting, or any other shared hosting platform will work. I'm sure a lot of you may already have a WordPress site for something. Sharing your music is really as easy as using Windows File Explorer to transfer your files on your desktop, and this tutorial walks you through it. If you try it out, let me know. image
Writing tutorials/documentation is a pain in the ass. There's a reason it's taken me so long to do, I hate how tedious the process is.
@npub1sck8...vn7z Let's run Bloodshot Lies through the feed update process so we can get everything 100% since it's in the Boostagram Ball and we're trying make sure you're getting paid. Let me know when you're ready, and we can walk through it. Should be just like you did with Kurtisdrums, just gotta make sure the spelling stays the same, so for Bloodshot lies, your file name would be Bloodshot-Lies.xml
