Payment systems are a tough nut to crack, for sure. This is essential to a decentralized BandCamp, because it's core point of difference is being a music *store*, rather than a subscription-based streaming platform like Spotify or Tidal. There have been a couple of attempts at decentralized versions of those too, see Resonate and MusicCoin:
"UBI is an economic model to ensure each contributor to the platform is fairly rewarded in proportion to their contribution. In Musicoin ... a UBI pool is created to secure musicians' income from PPP [Pay-Per-Play] on the platform, at a fixed rate that is fair ... higher than that of any other competing streaming platforms ... Unlike other streaming platforms, users on the Musicoin platform will be able to stream songs for free and without ads."
@flavigula I like what you are doing and yes the market and audience is diverse. Thanks for telling me about #choon and #musiccoin, it seems to me an interesting development of streaming.
I didn't understand the benefits for the artist of #dsound, this seems like a second soundcloud. I also didn't get the benefit of #funkwhale for the artist.
