Ok, probably here is the right place where I can talk about my idea.
I am a music producer, my artist name is gotek https://audius.co/gotektnl .
I started producing music in 1997, and in 2001 I've founded a label with couple of friends, called tek-no-logique. We were mainly pressing 12" records, and that was giving me a comfortable income. Then things changed and music started to get streamed online, and the 12" got hit pretty hard. Since then the main income for artists like me became performing gigs. Usually artists would make tour to promote their records, while starting from 2006/9 artists started to make records in order to perform. And life became harder an harder.
Since the start of the pandemic I had several economic problems as my main income was derived from performing in public events. This made me think I don't want to be stuck in that position ever again. So i thought that we need something connected to music, I got interested in NFTs, but the way they work for graphic arts is not the same way a music artist is used to manage his rights. Musicians are used to split shares, so I started learning coding Solidity, and I wrote some contracts which enables the divisions of incomes based on token shares.
I started a project which i called Zion -Power to Creators.
My ideas is pretty simple.
We shall create some sort of standard metadata ( in a similar way to nostr ), and make it in the way that several clients can support the visualization of this datas (just like open sea).
I know that on Opeansea the standard is to have a data object which looks like :
{
trait_type: value,
value:value
}
my idea is to create a standard to be able to show metadatas of a recording/composition.
this is just part of my idea, which involves a decentralized distribution system with shared physical locations where to stock the goods, in a decentralized way. Anyone could offer stock storage place ( i imagines for example scaffolds with nfc readers could be a proof-of-stock type of thing), or communities could provide a common place which would act like a sort of localstorage for stocks, I imagine this place also becoming a place where people can meet and create little decentralized markets.
My idea is pretty complicated to be expressed in a little post.
I wrote a white paper, I was also working with a Private Account Manager, who was in contact with many VC investors. But in fact, he liked my idea, but slowly, he started to transform it, in order to accomodate investors will of maximising capital, which would have taken place in contrast with the original decentralized way. I realized quickly the the interests of few cannot overlap with the interests of many. Thats why I quitted working with this guy (was november 2021, when the market started to crash). It also turn out, that this people are hiped when the price rises, while they get neglected as soon as the price falls. Since then, i started studying coding ( javascript, typescript, solidity ) and worked on building a distribution system with the local-first mentality. My idea for this, is that everyone should have a server in their home, in order to be able to encrypt any data before the data itself goes our of your private home network, so I also studied containerized environment, and I am working on building a Kubernetes distribution using distributed services like Akash ( https://akash.network/ ) which provides decentralized Kubernetes computational power.
so ... to make the story short ...
