Bandcamp... What now? (lemmy.world)

Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?

Discoverability?
Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I'm ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)

Monero is not doing “printing currency”.

And you know this because...?

Right. You don't. Because Monero is obstinately opaque in its operations. You're taking it on faith (or, rather, you're trying to make sure you're not the bottom of the pyramid when everything goes to Hell).

That's not how that works, you prove your claim that monero has coins created in excess of what the protocol allowed. You can't just make shit up and expect me to debunk it

The system is set up so it cannot be proved until it's too late. Like a hi-tech Madoff scheme. It has zero transparency. None.

In the absence of transparency, the only safe and sane assumption is "a scam is in operation".

This is actually not true, because if you received a transaction that is "printed" money due to some bug, it would be provable. This has not happened
