Hey Hey! Is "Hear My Roar" a band or a song? We did not pre-populate the EPOCH app with everything in the index. 90% of the songs in the app today are musicians we have had direct contact with, over the last 2.5 years. We also added a few fan favorites where we also know the artist is comfortable with V4V. In EPOCH app we have a gate vs. a wall, that allows each artist to choose syndication to open platforms. If you are an artist already in the open system you can create an epoch account and quickly import your music from RSS/Podcast Index. For artists that do not want to syndicate out we will host their music and it is protected in app. Everything is built around choice.

i laughed when she mentioned shakespeare, soapbox, and i saw my face on the video. if she cared enough to rant for 14 minutes about things im building and working on, then ill take that as a win. it's hilarious. it has 87K views. nostr's DAU is 1/4 of that.

perhaps. the great nostr:npub1nyrfgkqutqfyfzwskzxl5nf2w536wya3d2pf5z7pvxkc90laey2sfclzp9 has said that nostr is a 10 year project. i'd like to think he's wrong here, but if he isn't, that means we are only about half way there if you count from the original whitepaper. i think divine is going to lig...

Yes it's sad I agree ๐Ÿ˜ข So much promise, but devs continually want to reinvent the wheel rather than looking at solutions that exist and work already.

What is the issue? Big files will inherently have issues, we do not transcode. There is absolutely no need for a five minutes video to be anywhere close to 1.6GiB. HD movies (fully featured movies) ca...

This is the HD video master file that I would distribute to distrokid or any distributed for my music or videos - for less than $20 a year. Same file I distributed that will come out on traditional distribution on 1/5

Itโ€™s too big for sharing. I even created https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/nostr-build-shack/id6752591477?l=en-US to help users overcome limitations imposed by the nostr protocols geared for media uploads

sure, i understand that. that said, most applications allow you to export for the web or export for youtube, etcl., whenever you export a video file. you'll get an option to choose the quality and the format. if you choose a web or youtube quality format when you export, you'll have better luck here...

We are looking at video transcoding/compression options, but it takes a lot of work and compute. We did just launch Nostr Build Shack which compresses video, but is a separate process. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nostr-build-shack/id6752591477

If you are a #nostrdev and can help with why the audio on this master file is having problems let us know ๐Ÿงก @nostr.build distribution should work and has worked before. #nostrmusic #musicvideo ๐Ÿ’œ

The global independent music community stands at a crossroads. With over 7 million truly independent artists worldwide - those without labels and with full ownership of their art - Bitcoin adoption faces a historic opportunity: to build a culture that values creators as the ๐Ÿงก heartbeat ๐Ÿงก of the movement, not as accessories, not as afterthoughts, and certainly not as free labor for โ€œexposure.โ€

Rogerโ€™s manifesto reminds us: Bitcoin is more than money. It is expression, truth, and love. If we want artists to join us we must offer them more than applause.

At a minimum, conferences and meetups should cover artistsโ€™ costs. But we must also honor their work with real value, not just empty โ€œopportunitiesโ€ to headline the after-party.

Imagine the snowball effect if 7 Million artists could now make a living through 1000 true fans rather than chasing millions of likes ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป and love โค๏ธ

When we compensate artists fairly, we donโ€™t just fill a stage, we build a movement that the entire world wants to join.

Exposure is not enough. Conferences and meet ups should be negotiating directly with artists. New platforms should not be considered defacto middlemen making choices for or on behalf of artists.

If we want 7 million artists to bring their energy, talent, and vision into the Bitcoin ecosystem, letโ€™s greet them with enthusiasm. Letโ€™s show them that Bitcoin is the great equalizer, where artists are valued, not exploited.

This is how we create a cultural renaissance. This is how we prove that Bitcoin is for everyone. The future is waiting. Will we rise to meet it?
