5 years of tech 5 years ago is today’s 5 minutes of vibe coding
Discussion
I think his point here is it works and has been proven reliable over time. Can't vibe code proof of low time preference 😉
Hello everyone, I’m happy to see this conversation. The issue as I see it is that we have two possible new (relative to traditional music) distribution systems. One is rss and one is Nostr and both provide for instant global monetization of music. Ainsley success has come from using all of it but it has not been easy. Most Nostr apps are building in a developer bubble and none have taken the time to understand what artists need. That is not a reflection on the app builders who care about music it’s just a fact that Tunestr, Wavlake and even fountain are just new versions of walled gardens. It’s exhausting, as an artist, trying to navigate it all and deal with the political ideologies of each side. As everyone here know I’ve been trying to solve for a solution that bridges both for 2.5 years now. Bitfest was an amazing conference but my take away is that we are not there and this new way is not working for musicians…. Yet.
I'm only having this convo because nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac made a music site that has RSS import and nostr:npub1zm95kw87nf6gkesg76jedyfejt0u2zgx2fxgxywdxc9ugq3z4w2q4m092t has questions about it since they have RSS music feeds.
nostr:nprofile1qqs00y32ptdnlfxa5hhv4f30dalwv9vl0a27pqpkdpkx3cyrstp50zqprfmhxue69uhhqmmyw3shyern9e3k7mf0wpexjanpw3jsz9nhwden5te0vd5xzerx9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5x9cqyf I’m happy to see you here explaining the RSS side of things to folks. I’ve tried to explain this for years. Both rss and Nostr have their own uses and opinions. They are both valid and understandable but no one has tried to bridge both. If this conversation can lead to a solution that allows all apps to accept both payment systems and help artists do that easily that would be a huge step in the right direction. As you said last night, accurately, these events are inevitably driven by gatekeepers that at this time are people we know and trust. NME, PPM, Tunestr. But that is not how it should be. The magic behind VTS and the split kit is the instant payments to all involved. During our past events we’ve had to have an RSS feed and a Nostr feed and Nostr has always required post event settlement. We need someone on the development side that is willing to look at both and make publishing to both as easy as Distrokid or CDbay. Upload once and it’s monetizable everywhere Nostr or RSS apps. I’ve never been the one to solve it but I understand the issue better than most. We have RSS developers and Nostr develops and I have not found one who will address both sides of the equation.
This is all open for anyone to build on.
That and this V4V music with lightning stuff is part of the podcasting with lightning stuff that's part of podcasting 2.0 that's part of podcasting. So we have to stick to the specs of RSS. This only matters if you want to be "Podcasting 2.0 complaint" and work across must PC 2.0 apps.
This was also built in the opposite way but its all backwards compatible.
Podcasting -> Podcasting 2.0 -> Podcasting 2.0 with lightning -> Podcasting 2.0 with lightning but for music -> Podcasting 2.0 with lightning but for music with a little nostr sprinkled on top.
