There's amazing power that most don't understand yet from POW with Bitcoin and all of the ancillary support mechanisms like Fountain are reaching more every day and clearly it's great for value for value. #Fountain #Rocks God bless President Donald J Trump 🇺🇲 #God #Trump #RFKJr #MAGA #MAHA #Prayer #USA 🇺🇲 #BTC #Zap⚡ #Nostr #FreeRossUlbricht #JulianAssangeIsFree 🔥

Taken all our stuff off there. The more people catch on and do the same the better. Spotify only have the power we give them with music.

I have have told the lads in the office who have a band to get their music up on your platform. 5years on Spotify and they have made bugger all. They have really loyal following so I’m sure will earn some sats if they take the plunge. This article will hopefully help pursued them it’s a solid route to go

According to this author, “To stream songs through Fountain, users have two options.”. Is this an accurate statement?

Glad you asked. You can even selfhost your own RSS feed if you want to be in total control of your art. musisideproject.com

Notice how Fountain is lumping themselves in with Wavlake. Probably because the lion’s share is Wavlake and fountain total is paltry. Not only did they just wholesale copy Wavlake but they’re not even transparent about this. I guess I can’t expect much from a team that thinks closed source KYC wallets are the way.

How can I connect with my local community using bitcoin based social media? I speak portuguese and would like to start uploading videos on platforms other than YouTube.

There's no KYC to add Sats to fountain. And honestly, who cares if they copied functionality. In the end, the musicians and the listeners win by having more choice.

It's not just about Bitcoin. @Ainsley Costello discovered the benefit of being a big fish in a small pond vs. being a small fish in a big pond.

Goals! As a singer-songwriter/artist, it can feel deflating. So exciting watching Ainsley!
