The co-founders on the app are incorrect. These people are not in Musicoin team anymore.

Our progress is steady and strong. We have successfully reached the milestones for 2017 except for one, which is our goal to have 5,000 active musicians. As it currently stands, Musicoin has 1,500 active musicians. This is something we are aware of and will continue to push harder on this area as we go into the new year. You can read more about our future roadmap on our white paper at https://www.scribd.com/document/362834077/Musicoin-White-Paper-v2-0-0.


Yes. However, they can only post one song under an unverified status. They must get verified before they can continue to post more songs.


Our project speaks for itself, if the market decides Musicoin is worth that much, then it must be worth that much. We cannot control what the market does in terms of our project value.


It will be both. We will focus heavily on mobile app and hardware development in the first half of 2018.

We are currently working on getting this listed on another major exchange as well as working with Coinomi to integrating musicoin. Please be patient.


No, we are not ERC-20 token. Not sure what you mean by standalone wallet app, do you mean desktop client?

We have not yet decided on this yet. You will know firsthand as soon as we come to a final decision.


I think you're using an older version of MEW which causes nodes package problem. Go to https://mcdnode.trustfarm.io instead, that site is created by one of our devs, and it is patched to the latest version.

Merry Christmas.

For now, it is not possible. We haven't finished with the content policies surrounding cover songs yet. Once we're finished, there will be fees covering that, which means you will need to pay in musicoins in order to cover original artists' songs.

No, but the coin emission will be drastically reduced sometime in 2018.

Every one of them.


Rewards are paid for each listen, as well as tips received from appreciated listeners. We will continue to expand our service by allowing listeners to use musicoins to purchase swags and book events, and musicians to use musicoins to promote their songs in a variety of ways. (eg. Radios, cafes, museums etc.)


We are working on it.


Yes, definitely. We have a guide for that at https://trustcoinmining.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=blockchain&wr_id=9.


Have you done any transactions before? Is this wallet from the web or desktop?

Please don't get mistaken of our PoS with Ethereum's PoS (Proof-of-Stake). Ours is Proof-of-Sharing, we are thinking of renaming this to Proof-of-Play instead to avoid misinterpretation. Our concept of Proof-of-Play is a hard fork protocol change that will curve the emission rate drastically, and the act of playing a song and sharing contents will also be verifying blocks and get rewarded similar to mining. This will happen when Ethereum reaches Ice-Age, which is estimated to set in some time between Q2-Q3 2018.

Please join our slack or discord channel, someone will help you there.


Great! We already have an ambassador who are doing such thing. You are welcome to do this as well. If you have any concern or proposal, please reach out to us at musicoin@musicoin.org.


You can view your transaction history over at https://orbiter.musicoin.org or https://explorer.musicoin.org.

We will have more information on the reward program in one of our upcoming news.


Musicoin does not have stakes; however, we reward community members who contribute their effort to our project, as in any other crypto projects.


Awesome! If you have a proposal, please email us at musicoin@musicoin.org.

No musicoin is required to listen to songs, every play is free for listeners.

It is stated on this thread, website, and white paper.


We currently have more than 1.5k active artists uploading their work on our platform, with more than 20k listeners. Over the last 50 days, we have more than 8k songs being uploaded on our platform. Total tip amount as of today has reached as much as 600k MC.

Our streaming platform is the first operational pay-per-play streaming platform that is based on blockchain technology. At this point in time, no other crypto projects have reach this far as we have.

We have updated our front page ANN thread, please check the "Getting Started" section for wallets.

If you encounter more issues, let me know.

There will be more videos coming for the next month. One of them will include a notable individual in the music industry.

Currently, we are working on a new platform UI with new add-on features.

We also have some big news to announce soon, so stay tuned for that.

We don't recommend this pool. The pool owner has been showing incompetency ever since the early days of the project. There are a lot more new and helpful pools that are added recently, you may give them a try at https://github.com/Musicoin/go-musicoin/wiki/Mining-Pools.

Anyone can blabber on anything on here without providing further proof. In your case, it's not credible enough.

Move along.

They were DDOS'ed earlier but all is fine now. Source: https://twitter.com/BittrexExchange/status/934133708075933696

Russian hacker? You got source for that? If not, you can stop your fud.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Bittrex. It is only causing problems for users who are not enhanced verified. Bittrex is gaining attention so it is only logical that they are experiencing higher than normal volume of requests and inquiries. There is no need for fud here.

Last weekend, our Musicoin Ambassador Joel Bevacqua (Deadly Buda) was invited to Russia to join a panel discussion on blockchain technologies in intellectual property exploitation at St. Petersburg International Cultural forum. It was reported that Andrey Krichevsky, head of IPChain has expressed his sincere interest to open discussions with SOCAN and Musicoin on possible cooperation pacts in the future.

A detailed article about the event is available to read at http://www.theharddata.com/2017/11/20/russias-ipchain-to-work-with-musicoin

At the moment, because our GMC and desktop client is limited in its functionality, there is no easy way to change your C:\drive directory without going through series of technical steps.

Since the GMC client's data path is wrapped to a fixed location, you have to change its path every time you run GMC and the wallet. If you are still up for this task, make sure you download the GMC client from https://github.com/Musicoin/go-musicoin/releases to your linux system. Copy your blockchain data from the chaindata folder located in c:\user...\appdata\roaming\musicoin to another location. On your GMC, type `gmc --datapath ` with your new path being your new location. The minimum recommended size for downloading our blockchain data is at 20-22 GB.

Keep in mind that we are currently welcome our community to work with us in building a better desktop wallet, a sizable bounty will be issued for this task. More info can be found at https://github.com/Musicoin/desktop/issues/55.

Alternatively, you can use the parity wallet (v1.8.0 and greater) or MyEtherWallet to store musicoins that way. We are not affected from the recent parity hack.

You can download the parity wallet at https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases, and there is a guide on setting up MEW for musicoins at https://trustcoinmining.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=blockchain&wr_id=9.

I hope this helps.
