@npub1fmx…wp74 FYI - the latest <liveItem> in the No Agenda feed has an empty value block - https://feeds.noagendaassets.com/noagenda.xml
This caused quite a big issue for Fountain users because it crashed the new episode syncing - I've added additional checks on our backend for this edge case now but thought I'd let you know!

sharing your boosts on nostr is optional - when you're sending the boost you can unselect the checkbox to share on nostr.

Great article from Courtney Kocak on the Descript blog - https://descript.com/blog/article/what-is-value-for-value-v4v
What is Value for Value (V4V) podcast monetization, and should you do it?

maybe you're right actually there may not be a way to include the boost data.

I believe yes because if you're running something like the new alby hub then that will manage all the invoice creation for you but it would be great if alby could confirm this. I think I've seen demos of it running on umbrel/start9.
I think then we give users the most optimal choice:
- strike / cash-app oauth for easy custodial onboarding
- the choice to go self-custodial with something like an alby hub where it's a bit more involved / maybe has a fee but can run yourself

I think it's possible yes as you can essentially put any data into the description_hash field of the BOLT11 invoice

All payments will be down during this time (that includes boosts, streaming, deposits and withdrawals etc.)

@npub1rcn…dw4h I'm seeing a 500 server error on the endpoint /api/1.0/episodes/byfeedid?id=352598
It's causing this feed not to load - https://podcastindex.org/podcast/352598
What's odd is that it was working fine earlier, but as soon as a new episode dropped 15 minutes ago the endpoint started returning 500.
I believe this is the also cause of new episode delays users have been reporting for this show. Interesting that it seems to resolve itself after a few hours so not sure if it's some kind of sync bottleneck?

resetting the guid is a big issue!
The guid is in my view one of the most important tags - time to start naming and shaming companies that don't support it properly!
