Vestigial Hearts (independent rock/blues/soul) is the solo project of Montreal-based musician and bitcoiner, Rob Hutcheson (ex-Shaking Judy). Click the link in bio to hear my latest songs on WavLake!
I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been listening to my music on WavLake and shared their feedback, especially @thepurpose, whose latest zap helped propel my song to #3 in the trending chart!
My Sunday proof of work. As someone who is new to the world of mountain biking, my body feels like I need a difficulty adjustment... but maybe I'll just work harder. 🚲
After uploading my music to @Wavlake a few weeks ago, I'm pleased to see that not only am I receiving better money (sats) and more value compared to the pennies that services like Spotify were paying out, I'm also making real connections with people who are engaging with my songs. It's awesome to receive feedback via the messaging feature, and to grow an audience organically. 🎶
Just posted another track to WavLake. It's a sweet pop/soul song about lost love, called "It's Not Too Late." For this Nostr audience, a more appropriate title might be "It's Not Too Late... To Buy Bitcoin."
Over the past few months, I’ve been playing around with different apps to earn sats and redistribute to other creators. Here are the best ones I’ve found so far. Any suggestions on what else I should look into?
Nostr (social media)
Fountain (podcasting)
Wavlake (music streaming)
sMiles (earn sats for steps, bitcoin faucet, games, etc)
Simple Bitcoin (learn & earn)
ShakePay (like a Canadian version of Fold app for bitcoin rewards, etc)
A week ago I switched from X to Nostr, and I've realized that I'm a lot more comfortable posting on here. I think I used to be hesitant to be labeled as "the crazy bitcoin guy" by my normie contacts on X. But everyone is a crazy bitcoin guy on Nostr. 😄
Starting to orange pill my kids using these bitcoin trading cards I picked up at the Canadian Bitcoin Conference. Never too early to start learning about sound money.
I'm stoked to share my most recent single, "Where This River Goes," and to continue exploring the many use cases for the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Big thanks to the random @binsky I met on Reddit, who urged me to join Nostr and to share my music on Wavlake!
What's up, Nostr! I'm new here, but have been in the bitcoin world since 2018. I plan on using this space to meet other bitcoiners, continue to dive further into the rabbit hole, and also share music from my solo project, Vestigial Hearts. Looking forward to it!
