So, you are welcome 😉 

 It seems to be fake news, since I don't see such thing on the exchanges that I know. Did you try it yourself? 

 I didn't mean that you publish it for some specific reason, sorry if it sounds like that. I saw it has been stated on Digiato which is not a reliable source of tech news at all. The exchanges I know are still available and working. I know that they have blocked some exchanges since 2 years ago due to tax regulations. 

 I'm directly sending a message to CEO of one of those to check, I will update you. Nothing has been stated in IraniCard and some other exchanges. The news might be correct but still not reflected on their websites. I'm just waiting to get the answer. 

 He answered: "The accounts connected to the payment gateways are temporarily blocked, to control the fiat price."
So the news is correct. But it's weird that none of the exchanges reflect something in their websites. 

 Yep most of them are referring to Digiato that's why I thought it might be invorrect. 

 Salam ;) Thanks for your kind words 

 Yep, thank you I already selfhost my Alby Hub instance, so I assume I can go for it soon. If there is a Docker deployment config for it then it would be easy. Thanks for your great support 🌹🌹 

 Thank you I'll take a look 

 Maybe F-Droid works better for you 

 Sure. I uploaded my first music and everything was fine. When I tried to upload my next track I had some troubles. I sent an email to their support, they said everything is fine but still no chance, since I was using a VPN, I asked them if it's related to the problem or not and then they didn't answer to me at first, today I noticed my account has been disabled and my track has also been removed. Tonight I received an email that states they cannot provide service to Iran. It has been stated in their terms of service, but I should also mention that no sanction regulations prohibits Iranian to use such services. So it's something that they have decided. For example SoundCloud and Youtube provides services to Iranian, yes they are blocked in Iran but there is no such restrictions on their side. 

 They won't restrict it, I mean there is no way to get paid "directly" from Iran but if you can receive the payments indirectly it's allowed and they won't ban your account or the payments. As you know Google and Apple already know where we live all so if they want they can easily restrict access to their services. I already use some paid services from both and I know a lot of people are receiving payments from Youtube here. 

 Some restrictions are weird.
I had a Namecheap account for 5-6 years with a lot of domains on it. A few months ago, they sent me an email hey we cannot provide services to you anymore because we've detected that you are located in Iran! Well referring to OFAC providing VPN, VPS and such services are allowed. Even Biden encouraged providers to do so. So I assume this as an illegal act from Namecheap.
Most of the sanction regulations are restricting people not government or regime. Clearly, It won't do anything to US or Israel if the artists receive a few dollars from donations. 

 Thank you 🌹 

 Here is the email:

"Mohammad, Unfortunately, yes, that’s the issue. We’re currently unable to service accounts in Iran. Will let you know if anything changes in the future. Apologies for any confusion." 

 The problem is, is it reasonable?
If you read OFAC explanation of sanctions on Iran, you won't find anything that prohibits streaming services to provide services to Iranian, even some sort of services like social media services are allowed. SoundCloud, Youtube, Apple Music all provide services to Iranian accounts. Yes they are blocked in Iran but there is no restriction on their side. 

 Thanks for your kind words, sure my tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Youtube and Tidal. I will post them on Nostr too. 

 Just search for my track Sand Hill, it's not there anymore and I'm not able to login with this message: disabled 

 I had an email exchange with Michael, who seems to be the founder of Wavlake, to help me with this issue. I mentioned that I could not upload another track, and he asked me to send the track image and some screenshots of the problem. After that, I mentioned that I was using a VPN because Wavlake's authentication server is not accessible from Iran. Could my VPN be the reason for the problem? He did not respond to me, and today, when I tried to upload my track again, I noticed that my account had been disabled and my track had been removed. 

 I explained it here

 Wish the best for you and your family. Normal people and artists have nothing to do with all this shit happening in the middle east. We are restricted from both sides, our own country and others! 

 Finally I got an email which states the exact same reason for blocking my access to Wavlake!

 I'm more into Nativescript than React Native, the same concept but with easier access to the native APIs. If it works for you please let me know. 

 I doubt so 

 It was great thank you 

 I might be awake but come on :)) it's 3:30 AM not a good time for Yoga. Have you tried to only record yourself? Otherwise I might only join and watch you 🤪 

 The same story with some minor modifications happened to my father a few months ago in Iran. 

 Thank you, sent the email. 

 It's going to be great! Now my account is disabled in #Wavlake without any notice because they found out that I'm an Iranian artist! So, I cannot use Wavlake anymore! They don't even bother to answer me! Is this how Bitcoin and Nostr should work? How could this lead to freedom?!

 Provide the email in DM so I can invite 

 There is no such option here as a normal user, admins might have invite code but it needs an email address in my dashboard 

 🙏🙏 Thanks for your support 🎉 

 I will upload older songs one by one on Wavlake. There are a lot 😁

 Weird it seems you were able to Zap 1 sat, thanks for trying. I get:
```
Could not fetch invoice from https://getalby.com/lnurlp/mohammadrafigh/callback
```

No I don't use NWC. 

 Yes I get the JSON with ok status. I Zapped you. Well it seems it's working for others but not for my other account :)) 

 Sorry I cannot share my other account since it's intended to be anonymous, but my other account is not connected to the same node, it's using Alby's official node. It's an old Alby account. 

 I have just listened the first episode and I will listen the others too. I have some technical suggestions, shall I leave it here or send a DM? 

 Unfortunately it's midnight here, Is there any kind of recordings? 

 Great! Thank you! 

 It seems I need to run it on my own server, I will take a look thanks. 

 Thank you I will take a look 

 Thanks for your suggestion, currently struggling with Alby if it didn't work, my next one would be Coinos 

 Owww how lovely it is 😍😍 

 If it's going to be private then good catch! 

 🎧🙏 thank you
