Wow, thank you for such a detailed explanation. It sounds like I would want to go with option 2 Coinos and Alby since it is the easiest way for zaps across the entire Noster platform. I am an iOS user. So am I understanding correctly that I would have two wallets the primal wallet and the coinos wallet and they would function separately from each other? And would I be able to transfer from one to the other if and when necessary? Also would I be able to direct all transactions to and from my Coinos wallet and not my Primal?
you can host music yourself to get your music in all the 2.0 apps that are Bitcoin enabled If you have/get a website to store the files. we use dreamhost for our website for the mp3s and artwork etc then use https://musicsideproject.com/ to create the feed for your songs/albums.
explore how we've set ours up at www.doerfelverse.com
DM me if you want a hand with any of it
Wow, thank you this is all so fascinating and new to me. I will keep working at it and figure out what my best pets are and I am likely to take you up on the DM offer.
LNBeats is only a music player, and my personal favorite for being the only podcasting 2.0 app to easily surface music hosted outside wavlake. Fountain, LNBeats, Podverse all pull their music (in this case music published to an RSS feed) from https://podcastindex.org/ In addition, The Podcast Index is also not a hosting company. They are an open source repository of sorts for RSS feeds coming in from every where.
The creator of LNbeats made http://musicsideproject.com/ that you can use as a tool for self hosting all your music. You’d use the site to build an rss feed, upload it to your website along with your tracks, then submit the new music url to the Podcast Index. I’ve seen people doing really cool stuff with their music going about it in this fashion. You can use new features like adding subtitles as lyrics that show up in some apps, chapters to make “still music videos”, and add any many people that you’d want to the wallet splits.
Check out what nostr:npub12q9x4g8kkw5hj47a0f3e39jlxarfp8h6atasvr7fc8ks0j3f3ctq0870wm published recently using Stevens methods (the best part is the feeds work with audio and video):
Thank you I will definitely look into this.
Thank you, I will definitely look into that.
Hello again to my new Noster friends! I could really use some help again lol. I was notified to set up an Alby extension in my settings when logged in on my computer. I don’t really understand what that is. Something to do with easier logins with your keys? So I attempted to do that. On the Alby site there is a free option and a paid subscription. I tried to choose the free option, but when you don’t understand any of this stuff, it makes it really hard to get set up here. I’m trying to be able to send and receive stats with as little hassle as possible when going to other apps within Nostr. It’s really hard not to feel like a dumbass here. I have so many questions. I wish there was a step-by-step video that walks you through all these processes to get you where you need to be. I see people talking about backing up your keys. Aside from writing them down someplace safe. How do you do that? Can I copy them to my computer? Should I? Is this a Safeway to back them up? Also, will I need to open a new Wallet on other apps? Or is everything connected to the Wallet I got with my Primal? Sorry if you seem like stupid questions. Just trying to become an active member of the Noster community. I have other questions related to wavlake but I’m trying to break all this stuff down in more manageable pieces. Thanks in advance for your time.
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to check out my website! The guitar work is a combination of me and my good buddy and producer George Nardo. I guess when I get all my ducks in a row that’ll be the first song I put out here on Noster. Thanks again.
I’m definitely here thanks to Ian. Can’t speak for anyboty else. Ha ha see what I did there.
Hi Danny! Nice to have you here. I remember the confusion when I joined up. It will all come together, glad you're curious. As far as signing up for Wavlake, I think the FAQ would be a great place to start. Check out the I’m an artist. How do I get started? section: https://wavlake.notion.site/Wavlake-Guide-e560557ae4ba4e06ac20c06fb33556a3.
Also Fountain has a getting started guide as well: https://support.fountain.fm/article/110-how-do-i-add-my-music-to-fountain.
These aren't the only places to host your music either, there's also LNBeats: https://lnbeats.com/.
With regards to your LIghtning Wallet, there are two ways: 1) Non-Custodial meaning you have some hardware where you host your Lightning services or 2) Custodial - where someone else hosts your Lightning services. Alby is Non-custodial, meaning if you have an old PC or a server you can install the Lightning services, open your own channel and run things yourself. They also have an Alby Cloud version, which is still non-custodial, but they take care of all the heavy lifting, you still have to fund your channel and it has a small fee taken out of your wallet for the services each month This is the end goal, eventually.
But for now, a great place to start is as what Patrick said below. Choose a Custodial wallet like Minibits, CoinOS or Lifpay. You can fund your Lightning wallet by offering goods or services or using exchanges (River, CashApp, Strike just to name a few). But you'll definitely want to continue your research. There are a ton of great resources out there, but it's worth the effort. nostr:nprofile1qyvhwue69uhkyat8d4skutndva6hjtnwv46r5dpcxsuqz9nhwden5te0vfjhgcfwdehhxarjd9kzucmpd5q3kamnwvaz7tmxv4jkguewdehhxarj9e3xzmny9a6x7mneqyvhwumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4esz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqghwaehxw309aex2mrp09ejuerfvank7mewvdhk6qpqrxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4s0u0ajg offers really great tutorials to get you started on your way to self-sovereignty!
Thank you!
Thank you! I will share as soon as I get the ins and outs of this new platform figured out.
Thanks for the tip! I followed you over from TikTok. Great to be here!
Thanks, no not yet. Still trying to figure that all out.
I’m new here too thanks to Ian. Welcome to the new world! I’ve only been here for a few hours, and I’m loving it already!
That’s great, thank you! As soon as I get things figured out on this new platform, I’ll be sharing away!
I certainly will. I am just working my way around this learning curve for this new platform.
I certainly will once I get things figured out on here.
OK got it now. Thanks for the explanation. I’m feeling really stupid overwhelmed and a bit lost on here, but I’ll get it figured out.
Welcome Angel! I’m brand new here too. I just signed up tonight. Also thanks to Ian Carol. It’s taking me a little bit of figuring out, but people are very friendly and welcoming here which is really nice to see. Stay safe out there on the road and i’ll see you around here on nostr!
Thank you so much! Feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed right now, but I’m getting it figured out little by little.
