Welcome back to HIVE.
Did you start a business?
I've had businesses for several decades. Making businesses is easy. The hard part is getting customers.
I haven't done much in the music world. I tried to help my next door neighbor start a music business. He recorded an album when he was a teen.
So, I created a web site to sell the album. The site would stream the songs. This was back when streaming over HTTP was difficult. Since bandwidth was expensive. It closely monitored and throttled the streaming to prevent bandwidth overcharges.
I put up a web store that interfaced with Paypal.
In two years I was able to sell exactly one CD for exactly one dollar.
I shipped the CD for free. So, I guess I lost money on the deal. That is pretty much the way my businesses go.
My neighbor was really good as a self-taught song writer. He recorded his first CD as a teen. You would think that a community would support a kid who had the gumption to record a CD?
Instead, all he got a solid wall of resistance.
I live in Utah. The state is run by the Mormon Church. The community is hostile to artists as free thinkers are a challenge to authority.
He was smart enough to flee Utah and is living in San Diego.
I wish the site was still up as the programming was quite clever. The site could have been used by anyone wanting to sell songs directly to customers.
This is his current site . He has some youtube videos and is on itunes. "Ride the Wave" is one of the songs from his first album.
The Infinite Doodle
The infinite doodle is really just a remix of an art registry that I created a long time ago.
The cool thing about the infinite doodle is that that each piece will have a line that flowing through the image. An artist who wants to create a piece will get an SVG image with a line. They will have to incorporate that line into the image. It might serve as a basis for an NFT. The lines would connect all of the pieces of the doodle.
It is off line. I need to reprogram the site.
You know it might be fun to do an infinite song. Each song would have a few notes which bleed into the next song.
Getting Back to HIVE
The alt currencies on Hive-Engine appear to be a primary focus of developers. Many of the alt-currencies have their own web site. The site CreativeCoin.xyz has the coin CCC. They like creative works . I assume they would like music.
Apparently, if you used creativecoin as one of the tags for a post, your post will get CCC tokens along with the HIVE.
Few people are investing in CCC. There are other coins that are making more money.
