This is the main stack in rolling with now. I've got a tascam 424 also for (trying) to make some music.
I use a DAW to make a the final wav then put it to a CD. Then CD to a master tape.
From there I duplicate them. I just tried out thr duplicator this last run worked well!

I have a new idea for podcasting 2.0!
The physical item tag! Like LIT it's a small xml tags that would allow physical item splits. The idea is a nfc/qr code on physical media to allow for boosts on physical item sales.
What do we think about this?

Despite the no algo you are still competing to get people's attention from memes and people saying bitcoin slogans.
Reading a manifesto requires examining your world view.
You gotta give it time and a different formats. Read it on your stream, clip the audio, release it as a track on self hosted music.

I'm testing sharing a clip. This one I made directly in my podcast feed. Which I thought was cool because it was in the RSS directly. But I was sad that it wasn't showing up (in fountain and others).
I thought I had to redo making all the clips. But podverse seems to display it!
Anyway this is from the second episode. I might go back and make clips for the third now that I know it works.
This is a remix of a US Army film from the 1950s.

Yeah zap.stream has a chat but it is using some nostr chat feature that's built in somehow.
So it's an issue of where to send people. Like NA says go to trollroom.io, but it'd be nice to say go to live.bitpunk.fm where you can listen to the stream and have the nostr chat there.
I guess I'm rebuilding zap.stream lol.

Listening to the trailer, dude this is good. Yeah idk you should do it #v4v style and then get boosts. Screw ads, sponsorship = censorship.

Tbh, I'm still confused about how to set up relays on #amethyst.
I'm running a private relay, my npub is whitelisted. That's working.
But then this can't be a "private DM" relay? So I'm seeing npubs trying to post there and obviously failing because they are not helping.
I'm using nostr-rs BTW.

Ok but just to be clear, valueTimeSplit is only good for an <item> not live.
For live, you push the json and in the destination array goes the real time split.

3. Talk about hacking hardware wallets
4. Play some tapes
I kinda just want to see how this all works 🤣
Anyway, the rss feed (should also be in podcast index) is https://live.bitpunk.fm/feed.xml

What's going on with these live podcasts? As a user this is super confusing.
Maybe the client is correctly showing the xml but it's still odd. I don't think @nprofile…zvpk is live anymore and live items are scheduled in the past?
This is @nprofile…3xgh. Unfortunately, these things tend to fill up the feed in a podcast player.
