Practicality and uses of Micro-currencies on SAFE

[dallyshalla]

If a content is coming from cache, this content will no longer earn safecoins. So even if you offered Bob Dylan and millions listened per day, does that mean that it will be cached and Bob stops making money from his content?

@dirvine

Older content then may be problematic, but if say Bob Dylan thought Jeez man there is somebody getting rewards for my music. Then he should release lossless copies (high def like flac etc.) and let folks know he has a site or places where his real stuff is played (the original high quality copies) and then real fans will go there for better copies and to support their artist.

This means that people can make something and go to market immediately, without setting up an account with some place and going through any vetting. Make it, put it on the network, and for what it is worth to people it will be rewarded.

To add:

@janitor

David’s idea may address that, but for small authors one of main problems seems to be economies of scale for getting people hear about you. It’s like when you search for a “rare” torrent. Maybe there are sites that focus on “rare” torrents, but you will probably go to the largest site anyway. If it’s findable and any good, it’ll be on the largest torrent site.

SAFE solves the problem because someone’s boredom wont wipe out the only existing copy of the data. In SAFE unlike in torrents, there is a healing process so even if someone turns off their computer you can still access the content. So I’d rather release content here, where I can get it easily, deliver it easily, and automatically be rewarded for whatever impact the content has for people.
