This looks very interesting product, finally a decent ICO/Crowdsale from a long time.
What about people who want to distribute their music for free on the platform, and are the songs downloadable or somehow protected?
I think you should introduce this on some bigger music conference, because at the end of the day the crypto community is really small compared to rest of the world.
This would be a great way to introduce cryptocurrencies for mainstream, because everyone likes music
decentralized music sharing has already been solved.. BitTorrent.
However the artists cannot really make any money with that way. BitTorrent is fine for distributing files otherwise, but not as a music platform.
Hey,
Yes - Absolutely! Artists can upload the songs to the platform and just set the price to 0 if they wish to. In that case, it will be completely free to listen to them. The encryption system will offer the same protection to artists.
Speaking of the music festivals, this is a great idea, and would be part of the marketing budget in the money we raise.
We are starting a bigger marketing campaign in the next week. We are planning to introduce the product when we finish the mobile apps which are currently under development. We also have some plans in the coming weeks with a pilot band. Keep tuned!
This team attaches great importance to publicity and marketing. If you look at it this way, friends will talk about it in a few days. But do you have any technical value? Have you formed APP yet?
Actually we are mostly developers and programmers and you can check all of our technical details on github. We have a working WebAPP running on Ethereum and IPFS opus-foundation.com/demo.html and we are planning the mobileAPP including wireframes which we hope to release soon. Our ultimate goal is to reach a mainstream audience, but before that we need to make sure the UX is as smooth as possible such that it will be as easy to use as central platforms such as Spotify.
