for me ... you just described the goals of MUSIC ...
AFAIK there are doing EXACTLY that! ..

maybe there will not be a reputation system in the beginning .. but the other things are what I expect MUSIC to solve ..

It would seem like it from the way Eddie mentions integrating with big players in the music industry. Has this been confirmed anywhere or any more specifics released?

If so it was certainly posted by cob: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=2216

A DB on the blockchain to track information about all the contributors to a particular song as well as rights management seems a lot deeper than what PeerTracks has been advertising (artistcoins, automated payments, etc.)

The artists could issue bibercoinContrib and send these assets out to those .. not sure what you want to achieve with it ..

Apparently it isn't easy to figure out all of the behind the scenes contributors (who did the drums on "Dark Horse", is an example of this from the article) to a particular piece of music. The databases that currently exist for storing such information are fragmented and some require you to pay to use them. If the Music blockchain could somehow store such information with a reasonable amount of validity (i.e. based on a reputation system, or maybe an address controlled by a known artist can modify / add new entries for their songs) then it could potentially be a solution for that problem. The challenge comes down to, how can you maintain such a dataset in a decentralized manner? If anyone with an account can contribute to such a dataset, how do you sift the junk out? Reputation could be a factor, combined with maybe a larger fee than the network fee in order to deter would be spammers.

On Twitter:

"We just arrived at the Joint New Law Workshop in California!  We are ecstatic to talk about secure online #voting."

I'll admit I have no idea what a "Thunderclap" is, but I recommend sticking to a narrow target of cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

The way I see it, if you try marketing to the wider public, only two things can happen:

• The campaign will fail to bring profitable conversion, in which case it was a waste of money and time.
• The campaign will be profitable, in which case you'll need massive funds to rapidly scale it up

So best to leave it to the guys with hundreds of thousands in marketing budget.

Thunderclap is a service that facilitates a coordinated post to social media from all of the accounts that opt in.

Update to 0.4.24.1 or 0.4.25-RC1 to fix it. Caused by someone trying to use the escrow call before it was implemented.

We should see more BitAsset stats / marketing on CMC soon.

Please consider adding the bitEUR and bitGOLD market assets to CMC. Those markets are open as > 50 delegates are publishing price feeds for those assets.

Also I think it be useful if the assets view contained an "issuer type" header. This could specify if the asset supply is user issued or market issued. I think this is an important distinction because the available supply of user issued assets can be increased by the user that issued it, but in the case of market assets, the supply changes when shorts on the decentralized exchange are matched.

Thanks for creating CMC, it is very useful and I look at it far too much.

Rob

Will add bitEUR and bitGOLD soon.

Nice fast job!
I assume you want your BitUSD sent to onceuponatime?

That's my favourite account 

Awesome! I copied your transcription over to docs for easy reference. I think this material would definitely be wikipedia worthy. Also did some spelling corrections and formatting changes.

That's right it's been two months already.

Time flies in cryptoland and yet a billion things happened during this short period.

So to all those that are on the fence or just plain ol procrastinators ^^ this is the last 5 million Note auction!

I know I repeat myself but thanks again to everyone that participated so far. I do not think you will regret it one bit. Wait till you see what we have in store for the soft launch in march.

Hey cob. Looking forward to canceling my Google All Access subscription! You should consider letting NOTE holders pay their subscription fee in terms of NOTEs on PeerTracks!

Also is the music foundation considering liquidating some of the BTC received to fiat / bitUSD to shield against price fluctuations? Would suck if you lost some of the Pre-sale to volatility.
