nostr:npub18gp8p84hjmjh9zejdlyqqcg22sj6x3qra0q2ng4v6cxxg95sav8q0mcg5e is Vance from fishtank?
That is correct, same Vance
Very cool đź‘€
How does this work? Does this mean he's on nostr? Do lightning tips go to him? I'm a bit confused lol. But still cool.
He is not on nostr from what I understand.
The link we are looking at is LNBeats.com, it is an open source music player pulling rss feeds (in this case instead of podcasts it’s music) and allowing you to listen to them. You can send him a “boostagram” (podcasting 2.0’s terminology for a zap) that will go to his Alby wallet.
At the current point, I think the only wallet you can currently bring to boost with is an Alby wallet (you are able to run Alby locally on a node), but I could be wrong.
Vance’s music has been added to an rss feed, and that file along with the tracks were uploaded to a self hosted website. From there, all it takes is to add the link url to that music rss feed to the podcast index. It shows up in any app using the Index to pull its podcasts and music from.
Thank you for clarifying!
No prob. You can see more music like this by hitting the “demu” button beside the search bar on LNBeats.
Just one more question if I may lol, sorry if this is tedious and perhaps you don't have the answer.
Do zaps on lnbeats show their origin? Ie if an artist was on lnbeats and got quite a following there, do zaps and plays tell the artist the origin, like with some sort of analytics tool? 🤔
Yes there are boostagram readers, my favorite is Helipad which only runs on a Lightning node. It shows me names, amounts, messages, what app the boost came from, you can customize sound effects for different amounts, etc. it’s super robust. In addition, Alby has (or had haven’t looked in a minute) a service can Saturn.dev that does pretty much the same things without the customizable sound effects.
Vance Latta was on episode 241 of ABS n' a 6-Pack that lead to him uploading this album.
