Topic: BITCOIN RADIO (Read 296 times)

i will ask bitmain today if they have an interest in the project, but i feel that it may be a while before there is infrastructure, again im putting a lot more emphasis and time in to this project now. putting together the feedback is great and helping to get a better feel for what everyone wants and what undiscovered and aspiring artists need or want, it is open to everyone.

the idea of blockchaining the content would be to have it be emortalized, but from the sounds of it that may not be the way to do this, we are open to the idea of using soundcloud, personally i have some of my own original music on there. im going to put serious thought into this project today since it seems to be of interest to people.

really would like to hear positive feedback and utilize ideas or opinions,  thanks for the feedback, it helps.

its true that this is a 30 idea, but that is just the start of this as a developing and evolving piece.  to answer some of the others, The term BITCOIN RADIO is used so people understand,( edit ( it could be misleading ) so you will be able now to cash out in BTC ) its not exactly because its using the blockchain,   bitcoin radio sounds better to people that have no experience in bitcoin non the less cryptos in general.  

the budget is low but hope is that some friens i will meet with in May will have some interest in the project.

not sure about investors, i suppose if someone was to offer, i could certainly consider the proposition.

to be honest with you i come up with a ton of ideas, this one is kinda taking off so i will pay more attention to it. Starting now this is my main project. we had a programmer for a different project, + i was thinking i would be the developer, the unity pro package sounds like fun to me, im not too awesome at programming but as we work into 2020 i believe developing apps becomes (fortunatly or unfortunatly) something joe shmo can put together, its sad to see but at the same time at least there will be a lot of good that becomes of it, or thats the hope i suppose.

just use ipfs. no need to hype blockchain just because you want to share files with other parties 24/7.

or better, use soundcloud. no need for decentralized parties blablabla.

I'm confused, you're building Bitcoin radio on the NXT platform?
You even call it Bitcoin radio in your token description: https://nxtportal.org/currencies/17177713140763688295

Be honest, if this just some idea you thought about for like 30 minutes?

How are you going to build this? By yourself?
Are you going to hire a programmer? What kind of budget do you have? Are you looking for investors?

What's the deal here?

How is this Bitcoin related if he is going to use NXT currency? Should this not be under the Alt coin section? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0 or are this still under discussion here?

I would prefer that the Bitcoin Blockchain would rather be used for the storing of currency related transactions and not other obscure uses that would cause more congestion.  

That's just my own opinion. 

retarded idea, serves no purpose, trying to capitalize on blockchain hype.

I did ask the OP that, but OG jingled some keys in front of him and he didn't answer. 

Using the blockchain will make this service slow and bloated. 

I also don't know the market for proving you listened to a certain song at a certain time - who cares?  I doubt the OP even knows how the blockchain works processing "possession/transfer of quantities".

You can judge artist's popularity by feedbacks that are left (both text and stars). Also I can't understand why do we need blockchain technology for holding and playing of musics, is there anything wrong with current methods? Can anyone tell me what's advantage of blockchain technologies here and also any logical reason to use them in this situation.
OP you want to reqch bitcoin to those people who "still" use car radios? There are a lot of people who use them, sirius octane radio and etc have very high demand.

you have good points, we will have to see what happens; the project is definitely adaptable; thanks good feedback

This alone would make or break your radio project, artists/uploaders being required to purchase something in order for them to earn would be something they won't do especially if they don't have the money to start with especially if you are targeting independent artists. If Spotify encourages artists to upload their songs for free you should do it as well as it will allow artists even the known ones to put their songs in your radio. Because in reality no one would be listening to your radio if you don't have those catchy songs people are really listening to. Plus with the idea that you are letting your users earn cryptocurrencies just by listening, they might just really be there to earn and not to listen your songs this would be disappointing for artists who really wants to be heard and and make a name for himself.

Yeah, thats a great point, there are a lot of different directions i feel the project could move in to.

It might be interesting for an artist’s discography to be hosted on a blockchain mined by fans. You could judge an artist’s popularity by the hashrate of their chain.

Exactly.  Based on your multiple unsolicited rude PMs you are just an uneducated person who thought of a common idea and decided to throw the term blockchain in.

Before I waste time explaining basics to you, YOU should defend your wacked idea and tell us how a blockchain will improve existing media services...

I am sorry i dont understand what you meant

Another example of something using blockchain to make it inferior to other services....

mainly i just want to see the overall price of bitcoin go up and have higher success in communities ranging all ages.

the main feature i suppose is commercial free 24-7, from that point i guess we could make it do all sorts of things, but really its trying to reach bitcoin to those people sill using old school radios and car radios.

Can't picture out what will be the advantages. There are other services which I believed can do the same*.

What will be the special feature of this project? And what exactly you are aiming for?

using blockchain technology to hold and play all songs uploaded to it; commercial free 24-7, broadcast through a partnership with spotify or other radio company.

Edit: 4/ 16/ 2019;  Using NXT currency to reward users for listening and having uploaded content listened to. exchange in app for Bitcoin

im now working on making this a reality. if you have ideas or offers helpful to the project let me know thanks.

note: i magine this would work well if the Bitcoin miner itself were to second as a radio broadcasting device.
if you know who i should talk to to bring this idea to life just lemmi know Ok..

NXT platform should work for this i think
and also it is important to note that 100% original content used in the broadcasting, this could be a good way to get your name out there as a musician or just to hear sounds you like because you made them yourself. permissions would be needed to broadcast music that is mainstream

edit: 4/13/19; working on the website and conclusively this will be an app before it is run though the miners, but ultimately part of the goal remains in making the Miner itself musical in broadcast---------edit 4/16/2019 ---> not sure how long it would take to attain infrastructure of this nature, if possible and or if even necessary. we may just make our own broadcasting devices or give rewards for others broadcasting it, themselves.

* www.jingo.com is ready, just needs 48 hours to settle the domain ------edit 4/16/2019-----> may be put up as a different domain name.( yet to be determined, due to availability and other factors, but we should know by the end of the week i think )

* JINGORADIO was too close to JANGO (RADIO) so we changed it to BITCOIN RADIO instead

edit: 4/13/19; below is the NXT currency we will use to make this happen, this is the same as you will find at the NXT portal for JINGODOTS

  JINGODOTS or TONES are used as currency for BITCOIN RADIO. free radio (no commercials, or ads, and 100% original content) * app where the users upload there own music; has to be original, * rewarded with an NXT currency called JINGODOTS * the app buys and sells the JINGODOTS or TONES * the JINGO has to act as a key, owning 100 JINGO means you can upload your music. * make a play list and be rewarded with JINGO, for having others listen to the songs they produce. *rewards are separated to individual songs being played as well as in to the playlists * the author of the song gets 1 JINGO every time someone plays their song, and bonus amounts of JINGO for the 10th, 100th, and 1000th hit the song gets. * the author for a playlist gets 0.25 JINGO for every song on there list that gets heard. * and rewards are givin to the listeners at a rate of 0.01 JINGODOTS per song they listen to. more details at www.JINGO.com

edit: 4/16/19;    BITCOIN RADIO app will allow for cashing out into Bitcoin (BTC) thus ("BITCOIN" RADIO)

4/16/ 2019 :

* today getting a quote on how much the cost would be to program the app. waiting to hear back from a developer.

*There will be advertisements on the website and possibly on the app until the BITCOIN RADIO is able to self sustain, I need money for cigarettes and energy drinks. hate to say it but they are necessary for the projects completion, thanks , with that said donations are accepted though JINGO.com.
