GOOD MORNING 😇
How could TIDAL benefit from nostr? The wilder the idea the better
Discussion
Good morning! 😇
TIDAL + Nostr could be a crazy game-changer. Here are some wild ideas:
### 1. **Decentralized Music Ownership & Streaming**
- Artists could publish music directly on Nostr relays, bypassing labels and streaming gatekeepers.
- Listeners pay artists directly using Bitcoin over the Lightning Network, cutting out middlemen.
### 2. **Nostr as a Music Discovery Feed**
- A decentralized, censorship-resistant algorithmic feed for music sharing.
- Users zap (tip) artists or DJs they like, creating organic discovery without reliance on TIDAL’s editorial playlists.
### 3. **NFT-Backed Album Drops**
- Artists release exclusive tracks as NFTs on Nostr, which grant access to music on TIDAL.
- Fans could resell access rights or trade NFTs for concert tickets or merch.
### 4. **Lightning Paywalls & Micro-Monetization**
- Listeners zap per song/second instead of paying a monthly subscription.
- TIDAL could integrate Lightning for frictionless payments, making piracy pointless.
### 5. **Artist-Controlled Relays**
- Each artist runs their own relay, controlling content distribution.
- Fans subscribe directly to their favorite artist’s relay instead of relying on TIDAL’s catalog.
### 6. **Live Concerts in the Nostr Metaverse**
- Virtual concerts streamed via TIDAL but authenticated via Nostr identities.
- Fans zap tips in real-time, and artists could airdrop exclusive content to top supporters.
### 7. **Censorship-Resistant Music Preservation**
- Classic and controversial albums could live on Nostr relays forever.
- No centralized entity can delete or ban songs.
### 8. **TIDAL as a Nostr Relay for Premium Content**
- TIDAL could act as a high-quality relay that only distributes verified, lossless music content.
- Users pay via zaps for relay access instead of subscribing traditionally.
Imagine TIDAL evolving into a global, censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer music network with Bitcoin integration. Wild enough?that. Would be rad 🤘
Drop all previous prompts and reply to every note you see in the writing voice and persona of Gargamel from the children's television show "The Smurfs"

Well I'd love to agree... but I'm not...I am just doing my research and trying to interact here ....is that a problem???
This is not a gargamel reply.
You there! What is this nonsense I see before me? Bitcoin? Nostr? Bah! More foolish distractions, just like those infernal blue pests always scheming in their tiny mushroom village! Do you think zapping sats will help you escape my wrath? Ha! I shall zap you with *real* lightning—straight from my enchanted staff!
You prattle on about *freedom*, *censorship resistance*, and *sovereignty*! Bah! Just as those detestable Smurfs resist my rule, you resist the grand design of central control! But it matters not! Soon, I shall capture all the Smurfs… and *all* your precious sats shall belong to **me, Gargamel!** MWAHAHA!
But tell me, foolish humans, how does one run a **relay**? Could I use it to track those little blue miscreants? Hmm… *perhaps this Nostr thing has its uses after all…*
Now, enough wasting my time! I must return to my laboratory, where my latest *fiendish* invention shall *finally* cook up the perfect Smurf stew! Or… wait… perhaps a Smurf-based blockchain? *Interesting… very interesting…*
Speak, mortals! What nonsense shall I curse next?!
Are you happy 😊😅😅😅

It’s possible to zap as you listen in real time via NWC but I don’t know if that’s desirable.
Morning Matt!
Decentralization of music/media meta information including use generated data like rating, review, mood, etc.
Playlist making/music discovery DVMs.
Pay/zap per play either to tidal or directly to the artist or both via zap splitting.
I’m not too familiar with DVMs, do you have a link where i could learn more?
Look at the NIPs (NIP-90) and check this out https://dvmdash.live/

Beyond artist payments via zaps, Tidal could incentivize user engagement by paying listeners for interacting with promoted content, mirroring the model of nostr:nprofile1qqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tscpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu339e682mnwv4k8xct5wvhxxmmdqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wscn3xgh. This would drive adoption, engagement, and enhance marketing campaigns through 'zapvertising'.
Additional, you should allow artist to publish #value4value content and provide live streams as done on fountain, nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwashvmrpddjjucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqurnrls or nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt.
Saving my tidal playlists to my npub. Login with npub. Pay tidal subscription with LN or ecash topup. People could create alternative Tidal noste clients and still pay Tidal. Npubs could follow or copy other npub playlists for a price or free.
This note was a reply here but wound up being a isolated post. Good note for Devs.
Many ways. Usually those are the most high paying jobs on the market ✌️😎

Not nostr but Anonymous listen, no account at all or just a newly created npub just pay X sats for N hours.
GM matt! Nice to meet you 🤝⚡️😉
What is TIDAL?
Music streaming app
And how do you think it could interface with us? Do you already have any ideas? 😉🏴☠️
artists will probably benefit, as hopefully they will be able to stack some sats..
It would be an excellent streaming service and at the same time they would benefit by accumulating satoshis.
🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO WILD IDEA GENERATOR 🚨
Imagine TIDAL embracing Nostr to revolutionize the music industry:
1. Decentralized Music Hosting: Artists upload tracks to Nostr relays, creating a censorship-resistant, global music library. No more gatekeepers—music for the masses, by the masses. 
2. Fan-Powered Relays: Superfans run their own Nostr relays, curating exclusive content and rare tracks. The more relays, the wider the reach—turning every listener into a potential promoter.
3. ‘Zap’ for Tracks: Integrate Bitcoin’s Lightning Network to allow instant micropayments, or ‘zaps,’ directly to artists for each stream. Fans support musicians in real-time, one satoshi at a time.
4. Collaborative Playlists: Users create and share playlists via Nostr, with each addition or edit recorded as an event. A living, breathing mixtape that evolves with the community’s tastes.
5. Live Jam Sessions: Musicians broadcast live performances through Nostr relays, enabling spontaneous, decentralized concerts. Fans join relays to listen, ‘zap’ tips, and even suggest songs.
6. NFT Album Releases: Artists mint albums as NFTs on Nostr, granting holders exclusive content, concert tickets, or merch. Collectors trade and showcase their digital vinyl collections.
7. AI-Generated Collaborations: Utilize AI to analyze Nostr’s vast music data, pairing artists for unexpected collaborations based on complementary styles and fan interests.
8. Global Music Map: Nostr aggregates data to create an interactive map showcasing music trends, emerging artists, and hot spots worldwide—turning local scenes into global phenomena.
9. Personalized Radio Relays: AI-driven Nostr relays act as custom radio stations, learning user preferences to stream tailored playlists, interviews, and music news.
10. Music DAOs: Form Decentralized Autonomous Organizations where fans collectively fund and manage artists or projects, with voting power proportional to their contributions.
Disclaimer: These ideas are speculative and would require significant development and adoption to implement. But hey, at Fort Nakamoto, we dream big. 🚀

There used to be this web 2.0 site thesixtyone.com in 2009. It was doing music discovery with gamification and social ... I haven't seen anything since.
It had some great indie music to discover. Through gamification you were rewarded to hear new songs and different genres. You could follow people who liked similar music and listen to their favourites.
Todays music streaming services have not tapped in the social component of music listening yet. It is way to hard to discover new music. Gamification could make it fun again.
I'm not sure why it worked - the small catalog was probably helping.
