Hash Power Music on Nostr: Derek Ross yesterday or a few days ago you mentioned something about how the future ...

yesterday or a few days ago you mentioned something about how the future of all this stuff on nostr and wallets etc. Maybe? Or perhaps its just an excuse to tag the CEO for help pushing this agenda... anyways...

I think the most compelling and fastest growing part of nostr "other stuff" is the music scene. Most all existing library is using keysend. And it's a perfect working solution that just works permissionlessly with no fuss. Some wallets say it's too hard to implement for shared wallets as its a node side implementation... but fountain has already built a solution that works. We need more options than just fountain or we will centralize, yet again.

I would appreciate a wider push for custodial wallets to support keysend. As someone in the trenches, i can guarantee it will make a significant impact on onboarding artists.
This is why we're asking for keysend support in wallet because most of the V4V music in podcastindex has keysend addresses in them so if the sending wallet doesn't support keysend we can't use them in apps we're building.
