Fountain.fm - no free sats for me today
23 sats \ 12 comments \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 26 Mar 2023 bitcoin
I've been using Fountain.fm to listen to podcasts daily for the past few months. Today is the first day I can remember where I don't earn any sats for listening for my first hour. I still have some of the promotional pods available, but as for listening to a pod of my choosing, no sats today.
I guess this happens from time to time? I did earn 4 sats/minute yesterday, so it's hard to complain.
Has this happened to anyone else?

This will happen if you use a vpn, I think.

Interesting. I’m not on a VPN, but good to know, thanks!

Haven't listened yet today, but Thursday was my first no sats listen. I was a little surprised.

Had the same today. Listened to the promos and got sats for that but didn't get any sats for regular listening.

Mine has been grayed out and just says I've reached my daily limit, come back tomorrow to see your new earn rate since the 18th. I have no idea if that's normal or if its bugged out. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, signed in and out and emailed support but only got the auto response that some days you earn zero. But a full week of seeing no promotional content or daily earn seems a little odd too me.
The last thing I did was fund the wallet with extra sats to boost a podcast, then withdrew to Phoenix.
Interested to see if you get back in action tomorrow.

Do you know what the daily limit is?

I was under the assumption the random earn rate sats per minute for the 60 minutes offered was your daily limit. Excluding promoted content or ads, as that is how it has worked for me for about three months.
But like I said, a full week of nothing at all seems like I've either been locked out or there is some bug I ran in to.
I'm not complaining, free sats is free sats, I'm just kind of confused if it's just normal or if I "did something wrong".

I think you have the correct understanding. At least, that’s also how I understand it. I suspect you are experiencing a bug, unfortunately

It's alright, I'm patient. It's a small team. Maybe my VPN flagged me or something on their end. I'm a sketchy pleb.
