How will it help someone who actually wants to sell their music or mixes (not interested in playing live)? If the Cypherfunks stuff is to be "reproduced, reproduced, shared, reshared, sampled, resampled in all forms and manner" then this seems to indicate the music is completely free. Or would there be some limitations to sampling or something so that unique creations can be sellable?



If it is released under proper creative commons licencing (which should be the default for any of the songs under "The Cypherfunks"), then anyone will be to freely do with the music whatever they want (including selling it). The cryptocurrency part of the collective means that it doesn't actually matter if someone does this for their own personal gain, because if more people get involved with "The Cypherfunks", the more valuable everyone's FUNK becomes. In this case, releasing it for free is anyway better as it means the footprint of "The Cypherfunks" increases.



Quote from: majorminers on February 19, 2014, 10:13:44 PM I think the idea of an open source band is amazing.



People all over the world will be like 'I saw the Cypherfunks play live last night,' but none of them will be talking about a band made up of the same people!



Imagine how flooded YouTube is going to be with music by the Cypherfunks (because anyone can use the name)!



Sounds chaotic, confusing, and wonderful. The cryptocurrency would be like icing on the cake.



Nailed it! With each new song that gets released, the bigger and more entrenched the network becomes. And as you say, it's going to be a wonderfully chaotic experiment! Already have more songs lined up. The band's been working hard.



I'm prepping everything for launch today (updating all the seed nodes and wallets to correct versions). Will try and get an IRC channel also going before launch.



Then tomorrow morning, it's all just about generating the genesis blocks and uploading the wallets! Let the #FUNK begin.
