 It’s awesome to see people discovering my music on @wavlake. Huge thanks for listening and for the #zaps - I really appreciate it. 

Looks like “Bop” is the favorite so far, with the most listens and earnings. If you’re curious, here’s the link to check it out:

Fun fact: this track was born during a late-night mushroom trip. I stayed up until 4 a.m., writing and painting. Mushrooms, man - they’re something else.

If you enjoy it, please share so more people can stumble upon it. Thanks for the support 🤘🏼🫂⚡️

 That's cool but why does that proprietary website require so much personal information? I would seek an alternative one that allows you to upload music & collect zaps without KYC.

Anything that follows kyc policies is a contradiction to the point of bitcoin & should not be used. Convenience does not require sacrifice. 
 Also aside from being non-kyc the site should be open source. 
 Hey I’m open to alternatives. I’m very much a noob at figuring all these things out. Appreciate any helpful insights as to where to go 🤘🏼 
 As for a artist music building platform theres only other proprietary sites. I don't know of any open source sites that deal in bitcoin & does not follow kyc policies. It would be nice if someone built one. But all the crooked devs are just making new sites under a different name still proprietary, still following kyc policies the only thing they say it's for nostr & people jump on it like flies to a lantern without reading the tos & pp. They just go hey the ad said its for nostr wowie.

Also beware the f-droid cloned repo app stores that are popping up that their developers are writing everywhere it's a new microapp store for nostr. like yo it's f-droid in a new ui with a copied repo only with select apps they prefer you to use. Same tricks different names just remember read the privacy policy if they say collect your name, email, address, zipcode, location, or anything else then steer away away away. 
 Also you may notice their terms of service & privacy policy isn't even hosted on their website it's written on a notion page so your going to another third party site & giving notion your data just to read wavlakes tos & pp this is all big red flags if the footer of their website having telegram, instagram, & x first as social links. 
 I got your back on this for sure! If you're around this evening we can test some payments thru our new channel and I can show you how to self-host music 
 Absolutely! I will get back to your dm shortly! Out and about atm! Appreciate you a lot for your help dude, you have no idea 🤝🏼 
 No rush, we've got all the time in the world 👍 your openness and drive to learn is very refreshing, brother! 
 Do you have your own website? If yes, and you are willing to build a node it's pretty clutch stuff. Build an rss feed with new podcasting 2.0 features added in, and you're the Wavlake now dawg. 
 I have a start 9 node actually, and I do have a website. I’m not very tech savvy or understand how rss feeds work or how to implement but I’m scrambling to learn how 
 Bitchin', you're actually in a great spot. Do you like video tutorials? If yes, please check this out to get your bearings. https://podverse.fm/episode/_5Xj24JXlt @Spencer @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 @ChadF @ChadF have insight and a willingness that money will never be able to purchase. They are incredibly valuable assets. Watch the video with some leisure, and when you're ready we can talk about the https://musicsideproject.com/ 
 Right on, thank you for sharing that with me! 
 Of course, my next question for you is do you by chance play music live? 
 Not at the moment, but I’ve done a couple of live zap.stream acoustic sessions 
 We're always looking for performers for the Satellite Skirmish, please consider joining us for one! 
 Ooo sounds interesting, how does that work?! 
 Set up a livestream with audio and video, and have a set of 20-25 minutes ready to rock when you receive the go. We act as the conduit/switcher for the show, meaning we broadcast your live stream thru the rss feed for the Satellite Skirmish. People watching can then boost from a number of apps, some split the payment through the entirety of the production, others can switch between the wallets of whoever is playing, or there is liveislit.com which you already saw that allows anyone at any point to boost a band. 
 Dude that’s so sick. I’m down for sure! Am I able to use OBS for the stream setup? 
 However you wanna deliver it! All we do is capture what you put out (wink wink nudge nudge), meaning you could use crazy video switching, lighting, color effects. It’s your set to do as thou will! 
 Awesome. When is the next session? 
 January 12th 4pm cst. I’ve sent a lot of invites, haven’t heard much from most yet. It’s first come first serve so if you hit me with a yes, that’s all I need to know. 
 I may be up for it! Gotta work on a set list ha 
 Will you accept a poetry performance for 20 minutes? 

I've done plenty of video streaming before and will make this interesting.

It however, might not be the vibe you want. So if you want strictly music I'll understand.

I'm free on the 12th 😀 
 oh my god yes 
 Alright, let's do this! We can follow up in irc. 
 Also, there is a cheat code to winning at the internet is swinging by the Zeronode IRC some time and say high! @bitpunk.fm was the other fellow I attempted to tag, but you should hedge your bets and always always double down on @ChadF  
 But it has Nostr 
 So you make a sign in with npub &? Just like sign in with sso, github, google acc or etc it's just a third party signin that's not a omg big wooshie wooshie gold rush. 
 I don’t use it. I just posted that b/c having Nostr support is the only thing people care about around here no matter how terrible the app. 
 Yeah it's sad we have the flocks from other social networks coming over based off the wrong ads they hear about. Most ads are just long story short new place no control come hang. We need ads that force people to receive an educationIn as much as one sentence in the ad. 

Theres a bigger % of people who do not read tos or pp then those who do. I feel it's important when advertising something open source, & censorship resistant. I say resistant & not free because there is still censorship on nostr which either comes from the relay ypu post to or the xftp server you upload your media to. If it was censorship free truly then the blocked image wouldn't exist when you upload something that gets blocked.

People will always try to create scams around something new because they want your zaps or your data. You visiting the new site is worth more in $$$ then getting zaps sent. Data is the new value & is collected so much easier by individuals, corperations, & online groups also faster then the government can collect your info.
