Did anything ever come of this? Do we know if fountain really operates this? Npub?
So this turned out to be total bullshit.
When I ran a computer store we had a monthly draw for customers to win a laptop. Nothing extravagant but we got email submissions tallied up contestants and I would use a random number generator to figure out who won. Some months we would have maximum 40 contestants and sometimes just 10. One lady won twice.
It was simple. Then the customer was contacted and they came to the store and I gave them the laptop.
The attached link is a contest nostr:nprofile1qqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tscpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu339e682mnwv4k8xct5wvhxxmmdqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wscn3xgh ran and I acted in good faith to win and I won with 2 other people. I was sent a DM to verify my fountain lightning address. I was told that on the 5th I would receive the prize.
Truth be known I spent double the prize on Fountain in 2024 -
I've reached reached out to Fountain here and the only responses were in the 4th of January.
So I'm cancelling my fountain subscription and I'll just use another V4V podcast app.
This is so dumb. I honestly can't be mad because I've been very similar in communication at one time or another. I still always felt though that customers were important. One thing I can do is not pay them anymore.
I don't know about the other contestants but I've seen way too much shady behavior in Bitcoin and it's no different than it was 4 years ago. Over worked and under paid, I get it.
Anyway, Good Night and Goodbye Fountain.

I've already deleted my fountain account but here are my receipts.
That's such a bummer, hopefully nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxvmm4de6xz6tw9enx6qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpe8kjhc9hvzmyvf9tnxw84r3hrtece9xt0xvq9rx95nlpalfyyyjak4jkh nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtkx46kv7tgx3kxketnd3nhs7rrvdkxwwrxxp585ct6dpshwdmjwdexsanxw96hs7ndxfnxkd35vvmny6rswv6r2m3swc6n7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsz8rhwden5te0dehhxarj95crztnzdak8gtn0vfek2unkv4eqz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgqguwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skcqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu339e682mnwv4k8xct5wvhxxmmdqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduq35amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2asprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tsckcf04t will speak to this.
I've made my peace. I don't have any hard feelings. They lost a customer. That's all.
The secondary loser are the artists that won't get your ears and sats, sorry man. Good luck 🫡
Aha! That's the nice thing about Podcasting 2.0 is also a protocol and there are other platforms that do value for value.
Fountain does a great job but they are not the only ones.
yep newpodcastapps.com. You'll need Alby to use them unless it's Breeze but I discovered that the nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q wallet can be connected to Alby as a funding source.

All great apps.
The whole gimmick to gain users is useful but it's a trap. It ends up to be a bait and switch.
Hi,
Really sorry about this and the lack of response. The prize money for the rewind campaign did in fact never get sent.
I can make sure this gets processed today - but if you have already deleted your Fountain account and wallet we won't be able to transfer there.
We can either transfer to your Fountain wallet if it still exists, or you can DM me and create an invoice to a different wallet.
Have sent you a DM as well.
Apologies again.
