So you create and seed your torrents with your music, and present them prominently on your site?

So you create and seed your torrents with your music, and present them prominently on your site?
- jMyles 1y agoI was doing that for a while, and running a seedbox. However, on occasions when the seedbox was the only seeder, clients were unable to begin the download, for reasons I've never figured out. If I also seeded from my desktop, then fan downloads were being fed by both the desktop and the seedbox. But without the desktop, the seedbox did nothing. I need to revisit this in the next few weeks as I release my second record (which, if I may boast, has an incredible ensemble of most of my favorite bluegrass musicians on it; it was a really fun few days at the studio). Currently I do pin all new content to IPFS and put the hashes in the content description, as with this video of Drowsy Maggie with David Grier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTI1HoFYbE0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTI1HoFYbE0 Another note: our study of Drowsy Maggie was largely made possible by finding old-and-nearly-forgotten versions in the Great78 project, which of course the industry attempted to sue out of existence on an IP basis. This is another example of how IP is a conceptual threat to traditional music - we need to be able to hear the tradition in order to honor it.
