Feature description

I just had something magic happen. Some hours ago, I added my Bitcoin Lightning Node's key to my podcast feed, as per the new namespace spec. There is more info in this pdf.

Someone just now started playing my podcast. And I get streaming payments from that listener. To be fair, the listener is a developer trying it out, but this proves that this system works.

It would be absolutely great to have this. AntennaPod would also take a percentage. This is a revolutionary step into the new era of podcasting.

Problem you may be having, or feature you want:
Direct value-to-value works best. I do not like ads. I want to pay podcasters directly, and this will do just that.

Suggested solution:
There is quite some work to be done here. I would like to offer help where I can. It's BIG.

  • AntennaPod would need to become a Lightning Wallet [!]
  • AntennaPod would need to set up a Lightning Node to receive it's cut
  • AntennaPod would need to parse the podcast:value tag, calculate it's own percentage/cut, and send accordingly
