Suggestion for Musicoin 'To add A URL Shortener for the Artist Web Page Addresses
What is Mucicoin?
Musicoin is a great platform that has lots of amazing solutions for musicians on the Blockchain, it enables musicians to be their own record label, publisher and distributor also it provides instant earning on your music when it gets played (1$ Musicoin Cryptocurrency) with the unique addition of a 'Tip' function in were listeners or other artists on Musicoin platform can Tip you.
Current Issue
The current issue that musicians on Musicoin are facing at the moment is the 'Artist URL Address as the address is literally the artist wallet address String (as per screenshot below)
So at the moment if someone ask us for our Musicoin URL address to check our Music and support there is no way to pass it around verbally as it is so inconvenient... Especially for the people who are not aware of the Blockchain and Crypto worlds, especially when i go like 'Hey! Check out my new Music on Musicoin! Go To https://musicoin.org/nav/artist/0x601dd2de59a5295dcfffc99ddc188ee3488bc8d0
Our URL address sounds bit Alien'ish and hard to remember, would be great if it can reflect the artist name next to the domain name of Musicoin.org for example my Musicoin Web Address should be something like Musicoin.org/djlethalskillz instead of https://musicoin.org/nav/artist/0x601dd2de59a5295dcfffc99ddc188ee3488bc8d0
Proposed Solution
Musicoin to enable artists to rename their webpage addresses to a simpler URL Address that can be easier to remember and pass around to people so we can promote our music on the platform.
I would love to have my Musicoin URL Address as Musicoin.org/djlethalskillz
More Examples From Other Music Sites:
Soundcloud soundcloud.com/djlethalskillz
Mixcloud
Temporarily Solution
This is definetily not a permanent working solution, 'm sure that Musicoin team is heavily working on improving Musicoin but this little left detail can make our life much easier.
I am not promoting this or affiliated with it in any way, I found this Tool during my search online, a website that offers a FREE URL shortener for Musicoin Artist Pages
This still doesn't solve the main issue but at lease it can grant musicians like myself a temporarily solution until Musicoin has an official update on this.

Didn’t know anything about musicoin, but definitely been on the prowl for who was gonna do a blockchain Spotify. Looks like musicoin is a more bandcamp-esque approach?
Only way to find out is give it a try, i fully support it as it is really changing the music industry as we know it

@knowledges thank u for the update! Kudos to u and whole utopian team
I'll be checking it out hesitantly as a lot of mirror blockchain sites are starting to pop up and this is the only one I have yet to receive varying forms of success from.
It is def a game changer, looking forward to see it growing

i've been using jam.dj, and was really excited about it at first, but theres still a huge gap to be bridged... i find that many people dont trust the links if they're unreadable, so i'm hooping for more options soon too...
i've actually been searching your page, i heard from the #musicoin IG page that you posted an article here about setting up wallets and such... how far down might that be?
