Idea of a 'Blockchain Music Streaming Coop' resonate with you?
Have you ever been using Spotify, Tidal or iTunes one sunny afternoon and thought "isn't this whole music streaming thing great!'. And then thought to yourself, "why am I paying a middle man, wouldn't it be cool if there was a cooperatively-owned streaming service that could profit artists directly (and keep it good value for me too)?"
If like me you had these thoughts, you'll have Googled 'coop music streaming' and found Resonate, a nascent streaming coop with grand ambitions and a pragmatic approach.
I'm looking forward to writing more about this fantastic concept in the coming weeks, but I thought I would give those on steemit a chance to catch some of founder Peter Harris's blog posts to date. Well worth a read.
The guys at Resonate have recognised the potential for the blockchain both as a means to create a truly borderless cooperative (with rules and member voting guaranteed in all jurisdictions through a token), alongside a public ledger for attribution, recording of payments due and members dividends.
And nevermind that, but they seem to have identified a disruptive niche which could blow the music streaming business wide open!
As time dictates I'll be writing a number of pieces in the coming months as this project develops - full props to the founders of this project for pursuing a cooperative model for the music streaming business, alongside a little start-up flair.
If you believe in the model, get involved with Resonate - as an evangelizer (guess that's what I'm doing), coder, marketer, web developer, you name it they need it! All work will be rewarded in future Resonate tokens, and there's even talk of full-time positions...
I'll be doing what I can to help get this project off the ground - let's have music streaming, by the people for the people!
I've started using Resonate, and I'm loving it.
