@npub1fmx…wp74 FYI - the latest <liveItem> in the No Agenda feed has an empty value block - https://feeds.noagendaassets.com/noagenda.xml
This caused quite a big issue for Fountain users because it crashed the new episode syncing - I've added additional checks on our backend for this edge case now but thought I'd let you know!

sharing your boosts on nostr is optional - when you're sending the boost you can unselect the checkbox to share on nostr.

Great article from Courtney Kocak on the Descript blog - https://descript.com/blog/article/what-is-value-for-value-v4v
What is Value for Value (V4V) podcast monetization, and should you do it?

I believe yes because if you're running something like the new alby hub then that will manage all the invoice creation for you but it would be great if alby could confirm this. I think I've seen demos of it running on umbrel/start9.
I think then we give users the most optimal choice:
- strike / cash-app oauth for easy custodial onboarding
- the choice to go self-custodial with something like an alby hub where it's a bit more involved / maybe has a fee but can run yourself

I think it's possible yes as you can essentially put any data into the description_hash field of the BOLT11 invoice

We could do this via the new lnaddress attribute and maintain backwards compatibility with keysend using the options lookup -https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/576#discussioncomment-9830208

I've been thinking about the recent discussions around payments onboarding for apps and podcasters.
Whilst ecash could be a solution - I think the easiest way to move forward would be to include normal BOLT11 lightning invoices in the value block.
This would solve onboarding completely:
- podcasters could signup to cash app / strike and start receiving to their wallets instantly (+ withdraw dollars)
- apps can use the oauth integrations to let users pay bolt11 invoices from the podcast app
