Great to hear @molly0xfff's thoughts on not just the fediverse but lots of #dweb and #indieweb technology.
The points about UX are so right, been thinking about this a lot.
Portability, attribution and ownership are also key
Thank you @mike and the @Flipboard team for producing these #dotsocial podcasts
a decentralized Patreon is essential. an open protocol/API that would let us transfer money bank to bank almost as easily as sending an email.
the paywall issue is a real problem but could be overcome if we could connect our media/reading apps to this. set any amount that gets automatically distributed on a percentage basis by time spent.
if enough people do this with enough money, we eventually convince more and more creators to release their work directly and open access.
@wjmaggos@mike@molly0xfff this P2P decentralised money already exists. They are called micropayment SATs sent over the lightning wallet. Many new Podcasting 2.0 apps already use it to reward creators. There is a new economic model that goes hand in hand called Value 4 Value. - https://value4value.info/
absolutely the right idea but I think it has to be a pot we set monthly that gets automatically distributed and there's too many problems with crypto for most people.
@Hyolobrika@wjmaggos advertising in podcasting sucks and so do subscriptions. A direct way for fans to reward content creators is needed. Fiat currency payment gateways won't work. So new digital micropayments are one solution being put forward.
the magic of decentralized social media is content coming in from anywhere. but today, you might hit a paywall or have to wade through a ton of ads. so people often stay in information silos. we can fix that.
@wjmaggos
Sounds like you might be looking for a combination of OpenCollective and SATs. Always gotta diversify income sources.
Also, I do believe SATs can be distributed after a group receives them. Or, a media, project, or application can set it up in such a fashion. But, I haven't looked too deeply into it yet.
What exactly do you mean by "automatically distributed"? What's the context or use case here?
I'm looking for an open protocol for fiat transfer. to be able to set a monthly pot in my banking app and have media apps report to it how much time i spent consuming whose content. then pay them on a percentage basis.
@wjmaggos
Take a look into Podcasting 2.0 and the Value 4 Value model with Satoshis. You just described what this does. Lol. The only hurdle is the initial set up.
Chris Fisher, head of the Jupiter Broadcasting network is always talking about utilizing BTC based currency & the Lightning blockchain to pay for netcasts and potentially libre software!
