Sounds like an awesome use case for something like Filecoin [0] (IPFS). Move all the tracks to decentralised storage, stream with something like webtorrent [1]

Sounds like an awesome use case for something like Filecoin [0] (IPFS). Move all the tracks to decentralised storage, stream with something like webtorrent [1] and research some kind of service fees via filecoin's token...

Yeah that would be super cool. But what about the timed commenting + discovery features of SoundCloud?
- joeyspn 9y ago
  That's the difficult part. :P maybe current comments could be stored in json files and loaded with the song. New comments could update the json on IPFS: https://flyingzumwalt.github.io/ipfs-tutorials/curriculum/files-on-ipfs/modules/update-files/ https://flyingzumwalt.github.io/ipfs-tutorials/curriculum/fi... It's possible but far from efficient. Those are the pain points where decentralisation doesn't really cut it.

    Haha yeah... I kind of like the world writable comments file. Kind of like the original internet guestbooks with just a Name and Comments field. I'm sure there's some blockchain based commenting thing out there... but the flat file feels so quaint. I might take a stab at this as a way to play around with IPFS.

      > I'm sure there's some blockchain based commenting thing out there... Now that you name it, I totally forgot that Steem has a pretty good commenting system, and probably they're storing the entries on-chain. So maybe the answer is adding Graphene to the mix (Filecoin + Webtorrent + Graphene 2.0 as Blockchain-based distributed DB): https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-developer-update-graphene-2-0 https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-developer-updat...

Take a look at LolaShare [0]. It's a decentralized audio publishing and streaming application which uses webtorrent. [0] https://github.com/LolaShare/LolaShare https://github.com/LolaShare/LolaShare

  Didn't know about this! Really cool

  Looks very cool, but no source updates in 9 months.

    We've been actively working on pushing out a new version since we heard the news about SoundCloud. In the past weeks, there has been a lot of activity and discussion over the SSB network. Expect an announcement posted in the next day or two.

  It might just be me, but as I don't think so: 'Lola' sounds super trashy and kinky to me, if I saw a link to lolashare.tld I would assume either erotica or spam. Consider searching for a more audioey name!
  - freehunter 9y ago
    Seriously. When I hear "Lola" I think of either the popular song about a crossdresser, or "loli" which is anime codeword for a specific type of pornography. I don't have any good associations with the name and absolutely would not feel comfortable talking to my friends about "lolashare.com".

      Lola is a popular female name in Europe and it's etymology originates from the Virgin Mary. We chose it because it's the name of our very awesome dog ( hence the dog wearing headphones logo ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_(given_name) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lola_(given_name)
