Any V4V music shows out there I have two artists I've helped get onboarded to the ValueVerse. Please feel free to use their tracks and support them.

are you using LND or the built-in node that AlbyHub has? Will that impact how you would need to do this to find the information?

[@Moritz](https://sfba.social/@Moritz ) @npub1get…0nfm I want to make sure i understand something before I go on... If I remove a connection in the Friends and Family app to my node/wallet, those Sats stay in my wallet/node? Setup a connection/wallet to test it out and want to remove it now.

Here is the full text of the second half of her statement.
"I think a podcast is whatever podcast creators and listeners say it is, and they’re telling us more and more that to them, a podcast can be video, it can be interactive, it can exist outside of an RSS feed. And since all of those things introduce new, great opportunities for podcasters, I don’t see why we wouldn’t lean into them as an industry."

agree with your statement. They are saying the delivery method is irrelevant. They are saying that RSS is not needed for it to be a podcast. They are simply wrong.

2024-10-04 12:50:46 UTC

"...I think it’s less about the delivery mechanism or whether it’s audio or video, it’s also really not up to me or any person or company to define. I think a podcast is whatever podcast creators and listeners say it is..." from https://podnews.net/article/questions-to-maya-prohovnik?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=podnews.net:2024-10-04
Spotify is trying to change the definition of "podcast." They are wrong about podcasting and their strategy with it. Open RSS is the way to keep podcasting free and open. Their walled garden approach is not helping podcasting.

I was glad to see [@dovydas](https://podcastindex.social/@dovydas ) get the shoutout in the article. I shared it with my cousin that I have been trying to convince to put out his music V4V for the last few months and he is going to dip his toe in the water this week after reading. This could have an impact if the right people see it.

calling a "boost" or a "zap" a "tip" in the article is just inaccurate. These are not "tips," but are a direct payment of value to the artist. It is no different than buying an album on CD or on iTunes (man I feel dated even typing that).

AlbyHub is pretty sweet and works well, especially if you are running your own node. @npub1e88…nva7 has it up and running on StartOS. I have it up and running on UmbrelOS.

looks great. I'm a Mac user though so mAirList isn't a possibility without doing some work to get it running with WINE or another emulation software. 😕

2024-09-26 15:04:05 UTC

@npub1fmx…wp74 what software do you use for music playback/mixing when doing Boostagram Ball?

I'm personally a fan of Bible Bytes, my own show for folks who can't attend church services and still would like to receive some type of lesson for the day. ;-)

are you providing the show owner to opt out? Maybe they don't want their views/listens out there in the public?

that would make sense. Apple has already updated the feed address when I check in Podcasts Connect.

2024-09-18 13:42:25 UTC

@npub1rcn…dw4h @npub1fmx…wp74 how long does it take for a 301 redirect of a feed to show a change to the feed on the Index? Does it ever show the feed at the new address?

2024-09-18 02:30:50 UTC

@npub1thg…zq23 @npub13fy…jtd6 i’ve tried to send Sats to my Truefans wallet from my own node connected with AlbyHub but it fails. Thoughts? Are they not setup to receive this way?

I just sent a boost by tapping the "heart" icon. Perhaps someone has the wrong image element linked?

Stepping outside of my comfort zone and will be livestreaming the next episode of Bible Bytes. If anyone wants to listen in, the stream should begin around 8 PM EST on 9/19. If you follow the show in a modern podcast app you should get the notification of going live. I would love any support that anyone would love to send my way on this one. #Thanks #GoPodcasting

the native app has me excited. Being a PWA has kept me from moving to Truefans as my daily podcast app. This will get me moving towards using it full-time.

I'm aware of it in Castamatic, but haven't used it since it sent Sats when shows were set at 0 sats/minute. Still not sure what happened with that...

it is not an address issue. the same addresses received payments before and after the failed ones.

A big #HappyBirthday to the #Podfather @npub1fmx…wp74 @npub13cj…xnnm. Enjoy the vacation trip and celebrate with as much gusto as you have for No Agenda and Curry and The Keeper.

setting up their own node would be the best since it remains fully in their control. They can purchase an Umbrel Home or Start9 server and do it. I’m looking to setup a service or guide for doing this using MiniPC hardware like a Beelink S12 Pro and upgrading the storage drive with a 2 TB SSD.

I have 12 episodes of my V4V music show going to Apple without any issues yet. YouTube removes one for copyright strike, but I won the appeal by showing the artist had made it available under V4V.

two more duplicates of another show https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6956112 and https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6983913

2024-08-31 23:21:32 UTC

@npub1rcn…dw4h this is a duplicate of one of my shows in the index from before I moved it to RSS Blue. Can you remove it: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6928631

2024-08-31 13:17:51 UTC

@npub1qvx…hseu is there a way to force failed payments to go through in the app?

2024-08-20 23:33:19 UTC

definitely on a dedicated device. I’m running AlbyHub on my custom Umbrel Beelink SE12 currently.

can you do the same for me and see if it fixes my issue of having to reset password every time I go to login?

thanks again. It just stuck out as an extremely odd region for plays to come from for this show. So the “click farm” to earn Sats theory still sits around in my mind on this one.

oh, good point! That might be part of this.

2024-08-03 22:31:25 UTC

thanks. It just stuck out as an odd occurance for a #V4VMusic show. The only thing I can possibly come up with is there might be a “click farm” using Fountain promotions to earn Sats and then transferring them out to other wallets. 🤷🏻‍♂️

M2H2 (Mountain Music Half Hour) https://op3.dev/show/7eca1bdb944f4c27901aba7c94fcec35 Would be in a window around 7/6 -7/20. I don’t has the exact dates of the promotion running just that it started after the episode released on 7/6 and before the episode released on 7/20.

2024-08-03 22:05:31 UTC

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else has thought… I did a paid promotion on Fountain to see what the results might look like. I wound up with listen totals that didn’t match OP3 and a large portion coming out of Nepal of all places. Not saying Fountain did anything wrong, just curious if the user base in Nepal is that high? @npub129h…n0cj @npub1xgr…9mhl @merryoscar @npub1g2v…achf
