I've got an album release coming up and might use feathercoin as a means of buying, how to start?

Just had a listen to a couple of your track samples and they are pretty cool.
I think if you are wanting to maximize your potential sales I think the market may be a good start as its simple and there is already a user base.
But it may be worth having other retail streams going forward and the ability to offer downloads only to paying customers etc paying via a multitude of crypto coins.
Im all for FTC but it may be worth supporting BTC and LTC aswell.

You are really a cool guy! Don’t forget to post the ftc logo on it. Hope the new ftc wallet can make these things more easy

I was pondering this question last night and came up with an idea. A feathercoin music label/website. Where musicans could get a payout just for putting their music up there (signing bonus) as well as a majority of the sales. A direct donate (public key) would be associated with each musician as well. The price for each song would be set by the musician, they could allow people to stream or download, giving the artist much more control over the day to day sales of their product. What do you all think? Sorry for hijacking this topic

Hijack all you want, I love the idea and I think in the end the thread was meant to cook up a few ideas to get more exposure (both for me as for feathercoin), I’d love to help with this however I can!
A feathercoin label would be a kick-ass feature for a coin, maybe you could start working with distributors like reverbnation or cd-baby whenever we get further along this idea. A lot of musicians are looking for ways to gain more fans, Money isn’t always important but getting heard is a lot more important to most musicians, if we can sell the idea by saying that we ,as a community, will share, tweet and do whatever social stuff is necessary to get them heard and out into the open.

So I just reserved the email: [email protected]
I will talk to my Computer Science friend and see if we can put a test site up in the next few weeks. It might take awhile as both of us will be starting a new round of classes next monday, but I am confident that this can work -

If you need any help with this. I’ve ran for the last couple of years a ‘Not for profit’ independent record label selling physical products at cost price. The CD is licensed under creative commons and the music is encouraged to be shared. I enjoy pissing in to the wind of convention.

Pretty awesome idea and concept, I would definitely use This service as a musician! Give me a ting of you need testing!

The feathercoin market is there. You could even sell downloads from there.
Be confident in the fact that your music will always be worth what it’s worth in fiat due to the FTC to fiat price widget.I must relist my bands records on there again come to think of it, never got a fucking peep last time round.

I think you will have to just give it time. The marketplace is still in its infancy but with more users and more things to buy it will grow. Its a little chicken and egg, without anything to buy sellers are less interested and without and buyers sellers are less interested.

The album is available on Feathercoin marketplace:
https://feathercoinmarket.com/item.php?id=2946
Since I don’t have the option to sell my music digitally on the marketplace I will be sending out download links to whoever buys it.
I think we can promote this kind of thing quite a bit as a viable use of the Feathercoin currency. If anyone would be so kind to join and share my facebook page/album links it would be much appreciated.
Regards.
