RE: Hail All! I am @KLYE - Developer, Top 25 Witness, Nerd and Deviant MS-Paint Artist. AMA (Ask Me Anything)
Hi Klye, what the latest with streams app project? Its something I would love to see and would be happy to donate. :)
https://steemit.com/streams/@thirsty/introducing-streams-a-music-streaming-platform-for-the-steem-blockchain
Those guys sadly never paid me a damn dime for any of the work I did for them.. Initially the deal was dev work for BTC.. Then thye started paying me in thirsty shares which are worth less that the effort to dump them for the fraction of a cent they were worth last I checked..
Fucking sucks. The idea if executed well may have had potential but I'm not sure that their development team has the required skillset or background to complete the project. Basically built a GUI and media player from scratch for the thirsty collective and got fired without pay when I got stressed out about working for free. :/
Oh dear that doesn't sound good, I hope we can cobble together some talented folks to create something like this, even just a simple version where tracks are uploaded and an upvote gets the user a free download and also adds the track to a playlist. This would revolutionise the music business because steemit rewards the artist and fans simply by voting
Perhaps when I have time to do so I might have a whack at building what thirsty hasn't been able to yet. Have to see.
I've got far bigger fish to fry at the moment. As much as I love music and the thought of making crypto powered soundcloud the truth is no one buys music anymore and it would be a bitch to monetize in my opinion.
Understood regarding your other projects and commitments and I get that nobody buys music anymore, thats the whole point of having a steem app for music because the fan doesn't have to pay anything in order for the artist to be rewarded. Surely it is already 'monetized' by being on the steem blockchain?
I get the point of the app. Can's see myself putting in development hours though for something I don't believe with be worth while.
Was going through a bad break up, had to much shit on the go and then to top it all off had pressure from Kohi to push forwards without even so much as a paycheck or anything. My time is far to valueable to put in work for people that can't even pay the developer crafting their golden goose.
It will come eventually. I've got some massive project offerings on the way in the next weeks and month.. Perhaps when I find some time I'll re-visit the idea that Thirsty set out to create but were unable to achieve given lack of funding.
Sorry, to ninja cut-in on you and @bleepcoin conversation ,but one idea ( not even sure doable ) would be to have some way of 'upvote' unlocking of content. Surprised it hasn't been done. So 'x' amount of $ has to be reached , or even 'upvotes' before the content in the post becomes visiable. Just throwing this as an idea out there to someone. I thought maybe TIPPY could be the catalyst to such a thing. Not to sound crude , but nudies and the such could be tipped /upvoted/min. amount reached whatever it might be and it unlocks. Just brainstorming because it's fun!
That is fucking genius! Not sure if we have the functionality to do so yet.. But I will certainly bring it up with the Steemit Inc boys when I get a chance.
Cool, good luck and pleased you are gonna keep it in mind, I would be glad to donate if we get to that point.
I wonder if any other steemit developers are interested?
I could likely build it myself but manpower / time is my main constraint. Got a pretty firm background in Audio engineering and theory.. That coupled with my ability to program makes that sort of project right down my alley if I ever get the time and want to create it.
Would be a 1-3 month build is my guess.
Let me know, I would support 100%, also remember women respond to bass ;)
