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?)

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.

It depends on what crypto you use, they all have upsides and downsides. Bitcoin cash has incredibly long confirmation times like Bitcoin, you can only sell cheap stuff with no confirmation because it’s not safe (you can double spend if you’re a miner)

I exchanged Bitcoin cash with extremely low fees for moving it. But I don’t know if it actually has a future, most people are not really bullish on it. Cryptos have to be used as a form of exchange to have value on the market. I thought Nano with no fees had a future, but that’s a feature most people didn’t care about

But you don’t have to choose, offer bch, monero, Bitcoin lightning, etc. and let the user decide what crypto they want to pay with

Yes. Brilliant plan! Take the creatives’ time spent on making art and have them decode every single fucking crypto scam’s procedures, security models, etc.! That way they’ll be so distracted by the bullshit choices placed before them they won’t realize that a) none of them are good choices, and b) they’ve not actually created anything since they started dealing with all that horseshit.

Nostr is thataway, Sparky. Go talk to your fellow cryptobros.
