I do know of XRP and that governments seem keen on it, as opposed to Bitcoin. Just didn't register lol.

The solid oak is really beautiful. The instrument design is quite brilliant and effective, yet simple enough to repair yourself. No electrical components or circuit boards to fail.

I was offered 4 antique organs for free today. Three were electric an by I'd guess l one late 70s, one early 70s, one early 60s. They were very cool.
But then there was this pedal-powered "Thomas" organ, all the way from Woodstock, Ontario. The story is that it was in a church in Brisbane that burnt down. This was the only thing that survived and was relatively untouched. It was amazing but I just just don't have space for it, or any of the 4. I hope they find good homes.

You're right! I would love to know why 99-96% don't boost 😁 Knowing gives a target.
"That's how it is" doesn't satisfy my mind but it's something at least.
Good questions!
I try to boost 2 or 3 of my favorite songs and the show itself for every v4v music show. I reinvest all the value that comes my way back that way. Rarely boost the same song more than once. I'd like to do higher values and more often but I run out too quickly. I don't often listen to v4v music apart from the music shows. I don't listen to any podcasts that play a v4v track. I don't use any of the music streaming platforms.
I'm basic 🤷

2026-06-16 01:38:43 CEST

- reply

Hey @nprofile…cwhj just listening to your latest show. Wasn't aimed at podcasters, rather the listeners. It's fine if they aren't music fans, but Salty recent said around 1% boost and I imagine most music shows are similar. If they are music fans then why don't they boost? (I know there's other value return which isn't captured.)
If the music isn't good enough for them to boost then contributing to artists not seeing ROI probably won't help to attract the artists whose music they DO like. Ergo, they don't believe in decentralized music - at least not enough to continue to invest in it.
I'm not judging, just stating facts as I see them.
If that 1% grew to 5% or even more, or the listener-base were to grow significantly, maybe more quality artists would be attracted here?
I was hoping my provocative post would stir some conversation and potentially some new ideas.

I was being deliberately provocative with the over-generalization 🙊
My experience is the majority of people in the PC2.0 and nostr world are Bitcoiners and they don't music enough to return any value (whatever their reasons are).
The way I see it, growing the Valueverse requires one or more of the following:
* More Bitcoiners (people already here) to financially support artists to an attractive ROI
* Attracting normie music fans willing to financially support the artists for ROI
* More Artists willing to forgo financial ROI for the sake of artistic sovereignty

2026-06-09 05:13:23 CEST

- reply

Hot take in response to @npub1k0q…kmaj rant.
The Nostr and Podcasting2.0 community at large are not music fans, or otherwise, they don't really believe in decentralization and sovereignty. (And there are quite remarkable exceptions to this statement.)
Anyone who pays for a music platform subscription and doesn't also invest as much in the v4v music space is culpable. The argument that the artist aren't here is largely because the "ROI" simply doesn't add up for artists with decent followings.

I liked how Adam explained (in over-simplified terms) how it worked. Was it actually the very first v4v music show? Doing it live with wallet switching and actually managing to pull it off is pretty phenomenal if that's the case.

Real-world example of the cost of producing an album (even on a budget). 1,000 units is difficult when hardly anyone buys physical media these days. But physical is the only opportunity for a decent margin.

Thanks Ian! I'm certainly not the best at speaking. Maybe I will get more comfortable? But I want to help promote the artists and let them do the speaking.

Lnadress relies on DNS lookup which means you are reliant upon a third party and is a weak point.

2026-06-03 06:17:51 CEST

- reply

From my understanding it works boosting from rizful because I used lnadresses in the splits.
You can look up the keysend address based on the lnadress if you needed that using .well-known but there's no lookup to lnadress from keysend address.
I think I'm learning... slowly.
