Yeah the plug and play option is great if you have the budget up front and it will pay for itself on a long enough timeline if you are a V4V artist.
Thats awesome! Look forward to connecting.

We all have our role to play.
If every single dev was of the mindset of "growth at all costs, dumb every feature down" we'd have no fun, no innovation, no sovereignty, and no real skin in the game.
A self-sovereign user is worth 10,000 "normal" "everyday" "average" types. Coinbase has the most users but they do not have the most Bitcoiners. Toxic Maximalism is actually a form of love. On-boarding a user to a brand new protocol without teaching them anything new is just empty calories.

When you upload your music to Wavlake, you agree to their terms and their 10% fee and they custody all the sats that come your way. Under the hood they create an RSS feed just like a podcast has, where your album is a feed and your tracks are an "item" in the feed, like a podcast episode.
To self-host, all you need to do is create and host your own RSS feed and have a lightning wallet the sats boosted to your album can land in. I have an example feed that has comments explaining each of the tags: https://github.com/de-mu/demu-feed-template/blob/master/feed-with-comments.xml
There are many of us who are happy to help you on a journey to self-hosting. What is your experience level at webhosting? And do you happen to have a lightning node running? There are many solutions for people at all experience levels, but it's my belief that anyone can learn the skills needed to run a node and self-host music with just a little bit of guidance and exposure!

2024-11-07 16:11:38

- reply

Next step is to take the self-hosting pill. Wavlake takes Spotify 2.0 walled-garden approach, locks you in a TOS/EULA and custodies all your sats. For the Bitcoin-minded, self-custody is just as important for your music as it is for your Bitcoin and for your social media data (nostr).
Plus once your self-hosted @npub19ha…q0fa and @npub1ujt…msud can play your songs on Homegrown Hits!

Yeah, actually @npub19ha…q0fa and I made a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it on a regular pc, no subscriptions. All you need is a computer and a 2TB hard drive!

Nothing beats running your own node! Some great solutions include Start9 OS, Umbrel and RaspiBlitz:

https://umbrel.com/
https://docs.raspiblitz.org/
You can run any of these on your own computer at home!

Aside from 2 different asks over the past 5 years to put the donation segment further toward the end of the show, I haven't really had much from the audience in terms of a "push." Most directional changes or tweaks to format have been because we get an idea we wanna pursue and so we add it in.
The Metal Moment I suppose might be another example, but instead of a push it was more like the Rev showed up with a fully produced segment each week and we tried it out and it worked well so we kept with it.
The video aspect for us started last February when @nprofile…8hxm helped us install the disco ball, and we're interested in improving the look and delivery of the video feed and I would say Nick the Rat, Redbar and the Satelite Skirmish shows we've been putting together are my 3 main inspiration sources for that particular push.

Downloads are a shitcoin. Views are a shitcoin. Subs are a shitcoin. There is no blueprint. You either build real relationships with an audience yourself or you forfeit your ability for me to take your complaints seriously.
When you get in your own car you can drive directly to where you want to be. Conversely, you don't get to buy a bus ticket, get on the bus and then complain that it doesn't drop you off anywhere great.

No it means that my node is capable of receiving keysend payments. And zaps. And on-chain bitcoin payments. And Zaps. And LNURL payments. And ecash.

I'm old enough to remember when I had to export a csv from Ride The Lightning out to Excel, scroll all the way right to column "V," comb thru a big ass JSON blob to get the "custom records" TLV, copy that hash, paste it into a Base64 decoder to get another JSON blob to comb through and find the boostagram message and amount inside of.

Feature request for @npub1ye5…knpr :
Could we have the boost/zap amount for these types of events fully displayed instead of abbreviated and rounded with k? The boost was 6969 which is numerologically significant, but "6.97k" is actually one more character than "6969" and we lose the numerology that boosters are trying to achieve. 🙏

I deeply appreciate your candid episode here. Authentic communication is so crucial to our ability to continue to build out this ecosystem correctly. Keep up the fantastic work, brother! Any frustrations I've aired have never been directed toward you, by the way. We are at the "hard times create strong men" part of the cycle, and sometimes when it feels like you're under attack you might just be under the tremendous heat and pressure that creates diamonds.
I'm genuinely grateful for your presence and contributions to this space. Keep at it, the more we communicate like this the clearer the picture will become.

There are many caveats to that statement:
1) The artist determines other splits *so long as those other splits are to another Wavlake account*
2) The number of splits is limited
3) 100% of funds flow to the Wavlake node *first* and then are divided up behind the scenes; the funds are fully custodied by Wavlake and you must ask permission to withdraw them.
4) Any of those policies can be changed at any moment in the future at their whim.
It is foolish for artists to give up all of their negotiating power in that manner. That structure does not solve any of the exploitation problems in the music industry, and it's not decentralized or independent.
Contrast that with a truly decentralized publishing method where you are the custodian of your own value and you can write in as many splits as you wish and you don't need to custody any of those splits; all parties can remain financially soverign.

2024-09-15 15:16:10

Hopefully this video can drive home 2 points:
1) Why truly decentralized value for value music is crucial for the future of music distribution
2) Why it is important that the artists themselves, not platforms like Wavlake, be the ones to determine who gets splits of the value earned from their creative work.

In case you were unaware, you can publish your own music to an rss feed and host it yourself, which gives you full control of the value splits and allows you to be the direct custodian of all value you receive. Permissionless and soverign music publishing has been working for the last 3 years and the latest Fountain update just keeps making the listening and sharing experience smoother!
