With no music download sites accepting Bitcoin, ArtByte Music Store is the only site currently accepting digital currency (ArtBytes) for music downloads. ArtByte announced today that it is adding the ability to accept Bitcoin as well.

The site will use an API that converts any Bitcoin purchases to ArtBytes, which are deposited in the musicians ArtByte wallet. The addition of BTC payments will provide an additional service to musicians as well as introducing bitcoiners to ArtByte





Music Download Site: music.artbyte.me

ArtByte is 3 years old today, launched on May 1st 2014. We are excited about our growth and acceptance by the art community. In the first three years thousands of artists have been supported with gifts or tips from our Twitter App, which allows fans to tip any artist anywhere in the world, with ArtByte digital currency.

Musicians are taking advantage of the chance to sell their music on our music download site, which allows fans around the world to buy music without a bank account or credit card, paying with ArtByte. Musicians pay nothing to join, never incur any fees and receive 100% of the sales proceeds.

Our community has truly become a global community of artists and art fans. For example, just last week support or tips were given to a Greek photographer, an Iranian actress, a Turkish dancer, a Scottish actor, an American musician, an Australian dancer, a Peruvian actor, a Chinese musician, a Brazilian writer, just to name a few.

The price value of ArtByte, as a digital currency continues to increase, rewarding our miners, investors and traders. ArtByte hit a new high USD valuation in late April and continues to attract investors in the cryptocurrency arena. ArtByte trades on four exchanges in the US, the Netherlands, and Russia, and now trades against the Euro.

No, music is actually a very small part of what we do. ArtByte was created to support artists of all kinds (writers, film makers, musicians, actors, film makers, dancers, painters, sculptors, photographers, models, etc.)

Our Twitter tipping App is very active, and fans sre tipping artists all over in the world. Additionally the coin confirms very fast, we built it with features of litecoin, PPC, and dash. Fans can also tip artists at live events using their cell phone wallets.

As part of ArtByte's 3rd anniversary, the founder announced the development plans for the upcoming year, including an innovative mobile app allowing artists to post work and receive tips via the app with just one click.

The blog post is here: http://www.artbyte.me/artbyte-3rd-anniversary-celebration/

Here is a clip from the post:


Development plan for this upcoming year

Lite wallet - With over 3 years of transactions stored in our current Windows, MAC, and Linux wallets, the download takes several hours. So to make it easier and faster for our new users, we are developing a wallet that only stores recent transactions. Of course all transactions are still available in our full wallet for those who want them. And of course, the Lite wallet will continue to include our built-in pool mining.

Improved iPhone wallet - A simpler wallet, designed purely in an app format for ease of use. Like our current Android wallet, this wallet is a simple, clean, fast app geared to mobile users.

Advanced wallet for power users - This wallet is made for traders/investors and will include direct links to all exchanges where ArtByte is traded, links to tools such as our blockchain explorer, news via Bitcointalk, Twitter, Facebook, etc., and of course, our built-in pool mining.

ArtByte Music Store will accept Bitcoins, as well as ArtByte - There are currently no music download sites accepting Bitcoin. ArtByte Music Store is the only site currently accepting digital currency (ArtBytes) for music downloads. So we are adding the ability to accept Bitcoin payments as well as ArtByte. Our music site will use an API that converts any Bitcoin purchases to ArtBytes, which will be deposited in the musicians ArtByte wallet. The addition of BTC payments will provide an additional service to musicians as well as introducing Bitcoiners to ArtByte.

ArtByte Gallery - The gallery will be a mobile device app unlike anything available today. Artists will be able to add media showing their work. For example, a painter or sculptor can show a picture of their work, a musician can upload a video or audio file, a dancer can show a video of a recent performance, an actor can post a video clip or their reel, a writer can include the cover and a few pages of their work. All types of artists, around the world can showcase their work. To make it easy for fans to support artists, the Gallery app will include an ArtByte wallet for the user. Also each artist's post will link to the artist's ArtByte wallet. So with just one click, any fan will be able to tip any artist directly from the mobile app.

any plans on how to get decent music on the site, have you been talking to record labels? i see no reason why they shouldnt want their music on more platforms

We have been focused on other things and not advertising the music site much, except on Twitter. We will be adding the ability to buy the music with ABY or BTC. All the sites selling music for BTC are gone now. So we will have an interface where the customer can pay with either coin, and we will automatically convert it to ABY and pay the musician in ABY. Then we can advertise to attract those musicians who have heard of BTC, but not ABY yet. That will also introduce ArtByte to bitcoiners

If you have some ideas on reaching more musicians, we would love to talk with you about them.

Thanks for the update on ArtByte. I have mined it from the beginning and still holding, I like the price now, but I think it is headed higher!

Looks like you were right Amazing !!

I've just discovered Artbytes, what a fantastic service for the arts... Not sure why I didn't see this earlier, been in crypto for a few years now. I've looked on the artsbytes site and I can see a sign up for musicians. Do you have similar sites for other artists that you are supporting, ie film makers, photographers etc...? Would be great to add the visibility of these sites to the main site, as clear as possible to make them easy to find. Will be investing...

ArtByte has now passed $2,000,000 in market cap!
