We do have plans for a writer's chain that may or may not be separate from the poetry and blogging depending on demand. Our plan is to gather a group of writers (pretty much any writer who would like to participate) and work with them closely to see what type of features they would like to see on the chain, how we can give value to the tokens and other things like that. The goal is to get the people who will be using as involved in the development process as possible and that will be true for all the chains we build.

On your question about podcasts and the music chain, we will almost certainly do those as different chains. For one thing this will help prevent the resource usage (mostly disk space) a node requires for each one. Also, it allows us to give them different features and such. For example, many podcasters will often do one hour that is free for everyone to listen to and do another one that is only for their paid subscribers. So, we plan to not only incorporate this model into the podcast chain but also make it so users can unlock the second half of an individual podcast by paying some tokens without having to do a full subscription. However, this model would be completely useless for musicians since they're not likely to let you listen to half a song then make you pay to hear the other half. They're more likely to charge tokens to download it for offline listening and would likely want to organize their songs into albums that users can download.

That is mad, I have a few musician friends and this sounds like it would be right up their street. They are on spotify and i tunes etc. I think they wee put off by the limit on payout mentioned before. I think that this lifetime payout style is much fairer and will attract a lot more people. Is there a plan to bring a chain on-stream for writers? You mentioned poets but a writer would a lot more space. If you wanted to publish even a novella it would be far in excess of any thing that a poet would put out.

I presume that the music chain would also work for podcasts etc? I mean its just sounds (not taking away from musicians) but for storage reasons it would have a similar requirement?

Music is definitely one of the ones we want to focus on and have a lot of plans for that. For one thing, we plan on creating a player that we will put onto all of the interfaces on every chain we are doing so users can listen to their music chain (EasyTunes is a good name) feed while browsing EasySocial, reading posts on the blog chain or editing a photo for the photo chain. Because of this, the interface for the music chain will be more focused on the musicians and the producers and we want to add lots of features to make it easy to collaborate with other musicians from anywhere and mix and edit your music right from the site. When a song is posted that musicians collaborated on together it will appear in all of their followers feeds and they will all share in the rewards of the song at a ratio they define themselves. We also have lots of plans on different ways we can bring value to the tokens associated with each media chain including the music chain. For example, on the music chain we can make it so a user can download songs if they send the musician some tokens and maybe even organize concerts and festivals people can get tickets to using the tokens which are used to pay the acts and organizers. Lots of possibilities for sure.

I'm very interested in the MUSIC side of EasySocial and would also like to be an ambassador for an EASYTUNES Chain if you'll be creating one?
I also think that rewarding musicians indefinitely for their music, is a brilliant idea! and one that can create a much needed ongoing stream of revenue for us.
