You may not know me under this nym but I'm a big supporter of PC2.0 so just pre-empting any defensiveness here. I just want a good discussion. I think there's the right tool for the right job and just like bitcoin doesnt actually fix everything, a pc2.0 podcast, even with boostagrams and all that we have, may not the best medium for this type of broad discussion that potentially changes how a lot of die-hard type people do things.
Its great if you have a single person or entity leading the charge. It woildnl have to be the podcaster in this case because since thats the chosen forum. To me that looks an aweful lot like an influencer calling the shots. It that may have worked in the past with adam when it was a single community moving forward. But right now he seems disenchanted and I dont know hes up for the fight anymore. Dont get me wrong, I like the guy and listen to the boardroom often.
We are now talking about two separate communities colliding on a single set of standards trying to find a way forward together. With something like that, it requires an open forum to discuss ideas. People can still do what they are ultimately going yo do and whatever happens happens, but great ideas are being silo'd at the moment. I hear a lot of great ideas on podcasts and no one on nostr knows about it until someone else happens to come up with a similar idea months later. Vice versa. There's a handful of people trying to relay ideas across both but not many and it only ends up fostering one-sided conversations amongst people who already mostly agree with each other, further entrenching everyone in their existing ways.

Totally agree. We have Bitcoin in common and that's about it most of the time.
We need better ways to send payments and the proper metadata between listeners, podcasters, artists and users.
Fountain does this but they also understand both RSS and Nostr.
Will Bitcoiners just centralize around Fountain? Maybe?
I see the benefits of Nostr and some of us are testing it out but the larger PC 2.0 community isn't even really sold on Bitcoin or Nostr either.
I'm in on Bitcoin but I've been told Nostr is over kill for just passing metadata but you can't say anything bad about Nostr on Nostr so..
