RSS and Nostr:<br/><br/>The Problem<br/>RSS has no album tag. Podcast Index doesn&#39;t understand &#34;this group of tracks is an album.&#34; So historically, platforms generated separate RSS feeds per track or album. Result? Listeners subscribed to multiple feeds, apps couldn&#39;t group discographies, and artists managed URL chaos.<br/><br/>Our Solution: Deterministic GUIDs + Single Feed<br/>One RSS feed per artist. All tracks — singles AND albums — flow through the same URL:<br/><a href="https://indiesats.com/api/feed?npub=your_npub">https://indiesats.com/api/feed?npub=your_npub</a><br/><br/>Album name prefixes track titles for visual grouping:<br/>• &#34;Summer 2026 - Song A&#34;<br/>• &#34;Winter Vibes - Song B&#34;<br/><br/>SHA1-Based GUIDs<br/>Every track gets a deterministic GUID derived from the artist&#39;s npub + Nostr event ID:<br/>SHA1(&#34;indiesats:&#34; + npub + &#34;:&#34; + eventId)<br/><br/>Why this matters:<br/>• Same GUID across RSS, Nostr, and keysend forwarding<br/>• No database needed — recomputable from relay events<br/>• Stable for podcast apps even if you re-publish<br/><br/>Lightning Address Agnostic<br/>The feed URL contains only your npub — no hardcoded lightning address. Change your lnaddress? Same feed URL. Podcast apps resolve it fresh each time. No re-submitting to Podcast Index. No broken feeds.<br/><br/>How Nostr Bridges The Gap<br/>• Discovery: Podcast apps (RSS) vs Nostr clients<br/>• Payment: Value blocks/keysend/lnaddress (RSS) vs same payment methods via IndieSats UI (Nostr)<br/>• Album grouping: Title prefix (RSS) vs c tags (Nostr)<br/>• GUID source: SHA1(npub:eventId) — same for both<br/><br/>The Magic<br/>One publish → Nostr event → RSS feed → Podcast Index. Artists get both worlds with one workflow.<br/><br/>Add your feed to Podcast Index once. Change lightning addresses freely. Done forever. 🎸⚡ 2026-07-01T15:15:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswt83l76772462macj06j7fjauu8257w6rhykt6k48hxq90xf7trqzyquwq70hxz22lzytw65rnnjewg0lj8a74khxa8h9j47q38pdnqy3kzxlvwu # IndieSats: Bridging Nostr and RSS with Deterministic GUIDs<br/><br/>We built IndieSats to address a problem that&#39;s emerging right now: artists are publishing music twice — once to Nostr, once to RSS — and fans have to follow them in two places. Worse, payment metadata doesn&#39;t travel between the two worlds.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s how we connect them without building a centralized database.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## The Problem<br/><br/>Nostr is great for real-time discovery. RSS is great for permanence and podcast app compatibility. But they&#39;re disconnected:<br/><br/>- A Nostr `kind:1063` audio event has no RSS feed URL<br/>- An RSS `&lt;item&gt;` has no Nostr event ID<br/>- Payment splits in Nostr tags don&#39;t map to Podcast Index `&lt;podcast:value&gt;` blocks<br/><br/>Artists have to maintain two identities. Fans have to follow twice. Payment routing is broken.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## Our Approach: Deterministic GUIDs<br/><br/>Instead of a database linking Nostr events to RSS items, we use a hash of the event itself.<br/><br/>```<br/>GUID = SHA1(&#34;indiesats:&#34; + npub + &#34;:&#34; + eventId)<br/>```<br/><br/>This gives every track a 40-character hex identifier (the full SHA1 hash) that is:<br/>- **Deterministic** — Same input always produces same GUID<br/>- **Portable** — Works in Nostr events, RSS feeds, and keysend TLVs<br/>- **Self-verifying** — Anyone can recalculate it from the Nostr event<br/>- **Standard** — Uses full SHA1 output, no arbitrary truncation to remember<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## How It Works<br/><br/>### Publishing a Track<br/><br/>1. Artist publishes `kind:1063` to Nostr with:<br/> - `client: indiesats`<br/> - `title`, `audioUrl`, `coverUrl`, `duration`<br/> - `value` recipients (payment splits)<br/> - Optional `album` tag<br/><br/>2. IndieSats generates the GUID from the event<br/><br/>3. RSS feed includes:<br/> ```xml<br/> &lt;podcast:value type=&#34;lightning&#34; method=&#34;keysend&#34;&gt;<br/> &lt;podcast:valueRecipient<br/> name=&#34;Artist Name&#34;<br/> type=&#34;lnaddress&#34;<br/> address=&#34;artist@wallet.com&#34;<br/> split=&#34;100&#34;/&gt;<br/> &lt;/podcast:value&gt;<br/> ```<br/> <br/> The GUID is used directly as the `&lt;podcast:guid&gt;` value.<br/><br/>### Receiving Payments<br/><br/>- **Nostr path**: Zap the event directly<br/>- **RSS path**: Podcast app sees `&lt;podcast:value&gt;` and pays the lnaddress<br/>- **Keysend path**: Optional TLV `697070` carries the GUID for forwarding<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## The TLV Extension (Experimental)<br/><br/>For artists without lnaddresses who want keysend payments forwarded, we use a custom TLV:<br/><br/>| Field | Value | Purpose |<br/>|-------|-------|---------|<br/>| `customKey` | `697070` | &#34;IS&#34; in ASCII (IndieSats routing hint) |<br/>| `customValue` | Track GUID (40 chars) | Identifies which track/artist to forward to |<br/><br/>This lets a node operator receive keysend payments and forward them to the artist&#39;s lnaddress without maintaining a mapping database.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## Why This Matters<br/><br/>**No central database**: The artist&#39;s catalog exists entirely on Nostr. IndieSats just renders it.<br/><br/>**No custody**: We never hold sats. Payments go directly to artists or their designated splits.<br/><br/>**Protocol-native**: We follow Podcast Index specs, Nostr NIPs, and Lightning standards — no proprietary formats.<br/><br/>**Reproducible**: Anyone can query Nostr for `kind:1063` events with `client:indiesats` and rebuild the same catalog.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## Current Implementation<br/><br/>- **RSS feeds**: `indiesats.com/api/feed?npub=&lt;npub&gt;`<br/>- **Relay**: `wss://relay.indiesats.com` (whitelist publish, public read)<br/>- **GUID formula**: SHA1-based as described above<br/>- **Client**: Static site, no accounts, no server-side state<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>## This Is Just How We Do It<br/><br/>We&#39;re not claiming this is &#34;the standard&#34; or that others should adopt it. It solves our problem — bridging Nostr and RSS without building a platform that holds user funds or data.<br/><br/>If the approach resonates, use it. Modify it. Ignore it. The code isn&#39;t open source (it&#39;s just a website), but the logic is transparent.<br/><br/>The GUID formula is simple enough to reimplement in any language. The Nostr events are public. The RSS feeds are standards-compliant.<br/><br/>Build your own thing. This is ours.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>*Published from indiesats.com* 2026-06-28T06:30:17Z
