Proposal to allow Musicoin player to be embedded in steemit posts
Musicoin is a blockchain software project that allows musicians to upload their work to a system that rewards them each time their music is consumed. This can be thought of as a blockchain replacement for spotify and similar systems. Authors are rewarded directly and can receive likes to get bigger rewards. Musicoin is also its own token and can be traded. Currently it has an Universal Basic Income model, which I have not learned about in detail yet.
Musicoin allows authors to embed their music in an iframe player widget so it can be played in external websites. However, at this moment, this player is not embedable in steemit posts.
Components
Steemit posts are the components to be intervened in order to implement this suggestion. From musicoin side, the component is the iframe player which is presented to the user as an html code that should be copy and pasted to the steemit post in order to be included in a post.
Proposal
I've found the exact code that needs to be changed in order to implement this suggestion. In the code for sanitizing configuration found at condenser/src/app/utils/SanitizeConfig.js there is an iframe whitelist. An item for musicoin iframe player should be added to this list in order to allow its embedding. This would imply making a sanitizer for musicoin player that avoids any injection of malicious code. Busy.org uses this same file in its codebase, so the same code may be put there to allow musicoin player embedding.
Benefits
By adding this feature to steemit, musicoin authors will be able to share their work in the platform and their audience will be able to play their material without leaving steemit (or busy.org). Even though this seems as a very small enhancement, it will add value to the user experience in the platform and to the musicoin authors. Some people put youtube or soundcloud content, which is actually allowed by the iframes whitelist, but blockchain projects such as musicoin, and even dtube and dsound, should be supported as well.

I like the idea. It's interesting and easy to implement
Hello @eguille, Your contribution cannot be approved because it does not follow the Utopian Rules. We already have Dsound running on the blockchain. Thanks
You can contact us on Discord.

This is about musicoin
Yes it is and we want it added please!
Have you tried doing your own pull request of the git and submitting it yourself to the Steem developers?
@omitayolor could you help us? I'm musician, I'm not a geek, I'm new on Steem and How we can request our own pull to the Steem developers?
Steemit may refuse it due to a conflict of interest because it involves another coin. But I can see about pulling and doing various tweaks to the condenser embeds. It is rather limited. My time is mostly a factor. No promises but I can look when I do have time, but it could be weeks. It may be worthwhile to crowdfund using hyperfundit or fundition and then just pay a dev with the crowfund to pull and update steemits embeds. Will add it to my task list but can't make it a priority at the moment :( Maybe in a month or so.
Great. A don't see any conflict of interest only win win relation. Steemit were listener and curator enjoy music. Value is there to join listener to music. Indie music.
YES PLEASE!!!!
We so need this.
musicoin is gathering momentum and while it may be a bit temperamental whilst it is in beta a lot of us like to announce our new uploads on here so this would be great!!!
thanks for your support. I hope utopian mods review it again
they should start by adding dsound embeds lol
thanks for the information, I have some music friends to which you could be useful.
Thank you very much!
Please tell them to take a look at my VLOG for an introduction to what I do and plan to do to help independent musicians! https://steemit.com/music/@atomcollector/vlog-how-to-make-money-as-an-independent-musician-episode-1-an-introduction
Thanks again.
Muy interesante, lastima que no soy músico. Saludos @elguille.
Great proposition @elguille. It's going to be a synergic union, a win/win join. Dsound is completely different from Musicoin.
The only way we have to put player on steem is with you tube, that rapresent the worst platform for musicians to get reward with music.
I think that Steemit should allow to put embedd player of Musicoin and Dsound directly in the post.
Thanks you for you comprehension.

Tottaly agree with Lorenzo. It would be a smart decision to create this. It's a win-win!
