Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?

  • Discoverability?
  • Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I’m ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
  • Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
  • Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)

The payment processors take a big fee, like 3% + $0.30

You can’t just sell one song for a penny.

What are the “gas” fees for Ethereum like again. You know, one of the two you touted above as being viable alternatives to actual money.

If you think that’s too much, use a different crypto. I’ve exchanged some crypto with a friend for local currency and it cost me less than a penny to make a transaction.

Typical crytobro bullshit. Moving goalposts.

YOU touted Ethereum. Then you talked about “one cent songs”.

Be at least a little consistent in pushing your scam? I mean this constant whirling around is just making you dizzy and making your scam ever so obvious to onlookers.

The best part of Ethereum:

When a transaction has failed due to an “Out of Gas” error, this means the gas limit set for a transaction is below the required gas needed to execute it. The transaction value does not leave your address but gas fee is deducted because of the computational cost incurred.

You pay the gas fee whether your transaction goes through or not. What. A. Fucking. Scam.
