@nprofile…peg3 @nprofile…zv63 Tagging does need to be in the feed, but we don't have a spec for it yet.
v4vmusic (afaik) uses a combination of its own public tag API along with the genre categories that Wavlake puts into its feeds.
I bet @nprofile…9p9w would be happy to adopt whatever spec we come up with.

@nprofile…pwsh @nprofile…x5pc @nprofile…k8p7 @nprofile…9dpf @nprofile…jks4 @nprofile…td70 This would extend the publisher tag to allow for multiple types of publishers.
For instance, an artist wants their feeds to reference their personal artist publisher feed, a label would want it to reference their label publisher feed, and a platform might want to reference their platform publisher feed.
Right now usage seems varied with some feeds using it for artists while others are using it for platforms.

@nprofile…k8p7 @nprofile…pwsh @nprofile…9dpf @nprofile…jks4 @nprofile…x5pc Yeah, but that just makes the "why does my music show up on X app but not Y app?" problem worse.
You had this issue earlier with the The Paisley Daze feed where some apps picked it up and others didn't because the index flagged it as spam.
If you're going to do this, you should have some type of feedback back to the artist saying why their feed isn't showing up.
It's beyond frustrating to have a feed not show up for no clear reason.

@nprofile…pwsh @nprofile…k8p7 @nprofile…9dpf @nprofile…jks4 @nprofile…x5pc That should be encouragement for them to add a publisher feed.

@nprofile…k8p7 @nprofile…9dpf @nprofile…jks4 @nprofile…pwsh @nprofile…x5pc That seems like a drastic step. You can always just link based on the artist's name if they don't have a publisher feed.

@nprofile…td70 Yeah, you have to set up an NWC connection in AlbyHub, which will give you an NWC connection secret to use. You can use that to pull in all the transactions from the AlbyHub.

@nprofile…w0mx @nprofile…7fxa @nprofile…k8p7 What wallets do those apps support? I think most of the apps still only support Alby through the Alby API.
We could have more wallets if more apps supported NWC, which is an open standard for linking wallets to apps.

@nprofile…7fxa @nprofile…w0mx @nprofile…k8p7 I've heard others say the same thing, including TJ yesterday.
I think wallet changes and lack of options made things harder. Fountain is still the only free option for sending sats. Options for receiving sats have gotten better though.
I have an IRC bot for sending/receiving podpings that I could probably turn into a website or add to the PI website.
Does Sovereign Feeds help for your feeds? Podcasting2.org is a good resource for finding tag info.

@nprofile…td70 @nprofile…x5pc @nprofile…cyex I just grabbed the latest copy of this https://developers.hive.io/quickstart/#quickstart-hive-full-nodes
The api.openhive.network and hiveapi.actifit.io endpoints weren't working for me earlier. My bot is primarily using api.deathwing.me now.
Interesting that that one uses v1.28.0 whereas the others are using v1.28.3. I wonder if there's a version difference that I'm not accounting for?

@nprofile…td70 I have some code to implement a PoW check for the PodcastIndex site if you want. It's on every single API request and could slow things down a tad.
Alternatively, I could have it do a longer PoW check when you load the site and then skip checks on each request.

@nprofile…td70 My dad watches a bunch of AI videos and didn't know they were AI until I pointed it out. The videos all have the same format of an AI voice over stock/AI photos and videos.
The voice overs are actually really good and make it hard to tell that they're AI until they mispronounce something. For example, one of the videos pronounced 'Dodge HEMI' as 'Dodge HE-MAI'.
The videos sorta mimic to the Ken Burns-style documentary format, which is probably why older people fall for them easier.

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…g25d @nprofile…60s3 The secret words are the only thing that matters. You can use those to restore your node onto any computer.
Try loading Alby Hub on your computer and use the secret words to set it up. You shouldn't need to open a channel to see if it has a balance or not.

@nprofile…g25d @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…nxqw The secret words should recreate the secret key and give her access to the sats.

@nprofile…g25d @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…nxqw You could just install the Alby Hub app on another computer and use those Alby secret words to restore the node.

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d The secret words are in the Lightning app in umbrel. Click the dot menu and click on View Secret Words.

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d Were those the words you wrote down to set this hub up? If you go into your hub and go to Settings -> Backup -> View Recovery Phrase , do they match what you wrote down?

2025-11-16 00:05:06 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d You'll need to set up a separate hub for that then. I think each hub can only have one set of secret words.
You could try installing the alby hub windows app and recovering the hub with that set of secret words from July. If there's sats in there, you could transfer them to your new hub.

2025-11-15 23:52:10 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d Do you have the recovery words for whatever hub you had set up in July?

2025-11-15 23:47:03 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d That would've been the 12 secret words it had you write down when setting up that hub. They let you recover the hub if you accidentally delete it. Without them, you're pretty much SOL for ever recovering it.

It's your absolute right as a company to choose who you want to do business with. If it ever chose not to do business with the US or me personally, I wouldn't be able to use Podverse, Podcast Guru, Curiocaster, Lnbeats, or most of the other apps because they all use the Alby Wallet API rather than NWC

@nprofile…jpce That is definitely a problem. We shouldn't be using a single company's API to link wallets to apps. We need decentralized solutions for that.

@nprofile…jpce Nothing has changed with keysend as far as I can see.
The deprecation notice you pointed to was for SendPayment is replaced with SendPaymentV2. Keysend works V2 and here's the Helipad code to prove it: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/helipad/blob/main/src/lightning.rs#L188-L271
The LND doc change you pointed to seems to be a correction. AcceptKeysend never had a default and should've always been documented as accept-keysend=false: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/commit/1d5844c196cca27d569ea3efd193cc5d2dd61491#diff-0e426a43248661127a0c0ee115aef7a1093b635f8993b3f7ebb1dd9f05b8f249

@nprofile…y5nd I wonder how many are dead feeds. All of the noagendatube ones are definitely no more.

@nprofile…myyh @nprofile…vwpk @nprofile…l26x The apps could sign the message with their own private keys like @nprofile…8nsk metaBoost proposal recommends. https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/676

@nprofile…y5nd It lets you move to something else in the future if you want. Otherwise you'll have to update a bunch of feeds with new addresses.

@nprofile…y5nd If you add redirects from podcastindex.org/.well-known/keysend/podcastindex to getalby.com/.well-known/keysend/podcastindex
and
podcastindex.org/.well-known/lnurlp/podcastindex to getalby.com/.well-known/lnurlp/podcastindex
then [email protected] can be your lightning address.

@nprofile…y5nd It's a separate purchase. They have you pick an LSP (Megalith, Zeus, Flashsats, or LNServer) to buy liquidity from.

@nprofile…kdkm I wonder how many apps actually implement the Podping protocol versus just using the Podping.cloud service.
Notifications themselves can be delayed by Apple/Google since they run through their servers.
