@nprofile…8zna You'll need to change to an lnaddress if you want payments from Strike wallets. Just change your value type from node to lnaddress and your address to your @getalby.com address.
Most apps will still pay keysend using an lnaddress and will fall back to bolt-11 if the wallet doesn't support it (I.e. strike)

@nprofile…peg3 @nprofile…zv63 Tagging does need to be in the feed, but we don't have a spec for it yet.

@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…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…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.

@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.

I tried to keep it pretty close to what Partytime outputs except for database ids and separate tables for chapters, transcripts, etc (since it has no item ids).
