Podcasters, would you rather:
A) 10,000 listeners who skip your ads
B) 1,000 listeners who pay you directly
Most podcast hosts can help you with one.
Fountain can help you the other.
You chose B.... right?
Most podcasters have no idea who their audience is.
Podcasts hosting on Fountain know Brian from Ohio listens every morning and sent them $58 this month.
That’s the difference that Nostr + Lightning makes.
Blockstream announced that the Jade hardware wallet now supports Lightning.
