Social music distribution in one click?

It’s interesting, because if i look at the about page of Mirol, the pricing section is bigger than the feature section

I mean, the features section is listed first and links to an entire page that lists features in detail. Similarly, on our front page, we list features first, and then the about section. But sure, there are more words under the pricing section on the about page. This feels like a funny snipe to me to be honest.

But yes, point taken, Mirlo is built with the intent to put money into the pockets of musicians. It’s also an incomplete project.

And yes, Mirlo works under the premise of a global market where musicians compete with each other (something I talked a bit more about here). And yes, most musicians will not want to go through the hassle of setting up some arcane technical incantation to get paid. And yes, most musicians actually will be working with PROs, who will work with DDEX. And I don’t know how much most musicians care about tackling the global capitalist system.

There are contradictions here we have to grapple with as we organize for an alternative, and it means we have to be explicit and careful in what story we tell, how we tell, and who we tell it to. It also means, to me, that we can’t just decide not to do things because it’s not the most pure way of doing things.

I don’t get the arguments against it like “boiling seas.”

Why is it an invalid argument that proof of work crypto (bitcoin) has the well documented carbon footprint of a small wealthy European country? Also, as long as it’s being primarily traded on exchanges to make money, it’s all about finding the next sucker to buy it from you, which :person_shrugging:

I don’t think podcast2 will save us, but that’s where i’m going for now

I know no one wants to look at this because it has a bad rep, but when it comes to distribution methods of payouts, podcast2 is there already.

What’s the bad rep?

Anyways, all of that aside, I salute you for wanting to completely control the process of how you make money from your music, and that you have the gumption and time to do so! I am genuinely looking forward to see how you build it!
