Next step is to take the self-hosting pill. Wavlake takes Spotify 2.0 walled-garden approach, locks you in a TOS/EULA and custodies all your sats. For the Bitcoin-minded, self-custody is just as important for your music as it is for your Bitcoin and for your social media data (nostr).

Plus once your self-hosted nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa and nostr:npub1ujt5f2qj0nave2m9t0s8jxlwufn8msc0hf62zlql0rd9247yuzwqtzmsud can play your songs on Homegrown Hits!

Not sure what you mean? I’d like to do that though. I have my sats being auto forwarded to my wallet (just got them actually) 🤘🏼

When you upload your music to Wavlake, you agree to their terms and their 10% fee and they custody all the sats that come your way. Under the hood they create an RSS feed just like a podcast has, where your album is a feed and your tracks are an "item" in the feed, like a podcast episode.

To self-host, all you need to do is create and host your own RSS feed and have a lightning wallet the sats boosted to your album can land in. I have an example feed that has comments explaining each of the tags: https://github.com/de-mu/demu-feed-template/blob/master/feed-with-comments.xml

There are many of us who are happy to help you on a journey to self-hosting. What is your experience level at webhosting? And do you happen to have a lightning node running? There are many solutions for people at all experience levels, but it's my belief that anyone can learn the skills needed to run a node and self-host music with just a little bit of guidance and exposure!

Love that idea; I’d be into learning more about it! I don’t run my own lightning node atm, but I’m trying to learn and set up a start9 node. Open to other ideas and recommendations. Perhaps it would be cool to hop on a video call or something??

Would love to hop on a call sometime! Dm me some good times and we can set something up.

In the mean time nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa and I made a walkthru video of how to build a Start9 node on a small pc: https://podverse.fm/episode/SmqJlJjtj

Always happy to help if you have any questions!

Ahh yes I started watching this actually!

It’s cool, but for me I think the time that I would need to do this is not quite there and I’d rather acquire the server one unit since it’s more of a plug and play method. I don’t mind supporting them either for their products even though it may be chapter to do the build myself.

I’ll send a dm!!

Yeah the plug and play option is great if you have the budget up front and it will pay for itself on a long enough timeline if you are a V4V artist.

Thats awesome! Look forward to connecting.
