interested to hear more about your upcoming v4v podcast venture, can you elaborate on any details today?
Yes, it's built with Castopod.org and will integrate Lightning payments via getAlby. I had the idea to encourage people to start their own Bitcoin podcasts to grow their communities in their own countries. Best in their African language. Many people can't watch Video content, because of the high costs for internet connections and the bad infrastructure.
I was discussing that with Gigi who also had this idea to encourage Bitcoiners to do podcasts too (Einundzwanzig in Germany is very successful in building decentralized communities)
Since the average income is very low, the cost of hosting a podcast - which is around 10 USD a month - is too high. Also no one is running their own lightning node, so they can't earn bitcoin. That's why I thought free hosting and earning satoshis without the need for a node would be a great thing. Also: podcasters won't lose their rights like on Anchor or Spotify and we will never insert ads from our side like other platforms do. I think V4V is really a great opportunity for people here to earn bitcoin. And since we're hosting it no government can shut down the podcasters.
