What's up? Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future 🫂💜🤙🏻 Have you put any of your music on @Wavlake?

Here!

Hey Krexx 😎👌

Setup your wallet and I’ll zap ya!

Welcome- live music fan

Hi npub1p:kk5k6h, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓 I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the @YakiHonne app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the @Minibits, @Mysterious Hamster and @Wallet of Satoshi apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊 Made with 💚 by @minestr.app

Hi Derek, I’m new here too and have seen wavlake used by lots of people so feel curious to try it but suddenly saw the high fee charged on artists’ earnings🥲 wonder if it’s worth it over other traditional apps?

Welcome Krexx, you’re in the right place; why not share one of your tracks, seems like the perfect chance to do so

High fee? I don't remember off the top of my head but it's nearly all earnings to to artists. It's only like 1-3% goes to Wavlake?

I think the FAQ mentions 10%😐

@Derek Ross faq:

wavlake on Notion

Wavlake Guide | Notion

What is Wavlake?

"## How much does it cost to use? Wavlake charges a flat 10% fee on all earnings. This helps cover the cost of development, hosting, and payment management."

Welcome aboard!

Thanks! That's still incredibly low compared to Spotify's 30%.

True. I’ve been looking for alternatives to bandcamp for years, which charges less than 10% I believe. I would consider paying this fee to wavlake despite not knowing who’s behind it because they’re 1) building on #nostr and 2) growing the #bitcoin economy—with bandcamp I’m feeding the PayPal mafia and other fiends. Still, would be amazing if wavlake would consider lowering to a more standard fee as many creator apps charge around 5%

@npub1gr65...mmjc is also an option. rssblue.com

You can host it yourself and keep 100% and it will show up on lnbeats.com. Check out @DuhLaurien ✌🏻👽💨 and @marykateultra homegrown hits podcast they talk about this. @npub18gp8...cg5e also helps bands set this up for less than 10% iirc.

@npub18gp8...cg5e at thunderroad.media charges 3%.

#nostr peeps, you are legends✊ so many good recommendations I’ll go over one by one. @npub16pcg...afu7 Some alternatives to bandcamp/soundcloud in these posts that might be worth checking out

Welcome to Nostr! Check out my memes if you want. They're all homemade and Nostr exclusive 😁. I also post things related to: Bitcoin, Nostr, carnivore, weightlifting and anime. Feel free to follow if you like my stuff

I get that. Say hi to @means to help answer #1. For #2 I get that. You don't have to use Wavlake to publish your media. You can publish it directly to Nostr and people can zap you and you'd get 100% of those sats.

GM friend. Glad to have you in #Nostr

Welcome home!

Do you have a website? If yes, all you need is some data entry skills. What’s the name of your song, what’s the link to the mp3, what’s the link to artwork etc. Upload the mp3s and art to your website, link to them in the rss feed, and then lastly anfter you’ve uploaded your newly minted rss feed to the website, add it to

Podcastindex.org

Add Feed | Podcastindex.org

The Podcast Index is here to preserve, protect and extend the open, independent podcasting ecosystem.

The tool you can use is to build a feed is

MSP Studio

there is a tutorial that walks you thru what to do or hit me up if you have questions. I built about 100 feeds for various artists using this and haven’t looked back.

It’s 3% but that’s all for monitoring purposes split between IRC, @StevenB and myself so that I can read out the boosts on B4TS.

Welcome! Here's a good starting place to get caught up 👇
