Lewis @nprofile…dffe Any visits to the payment page without a ref, or an unregistered one could be tracked in your system but not trigger any payment split. I don't think there'd be any concern about fraud here because it's all about paying podcasters. Yes, someone could visit the payment page and manually add the "ref" code, but that just means someone else is paying to that app. "Worst" case is that a podcaster includes the ref by default and that podcast app gets the fee from payments not thru app. npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J. Lewis Following up from today's boardroom. I dug into the Stripe docs and found that it _is_ possible for a payment form to split a payment more than once. But being part of the split requires a prior connection. But once that connection is made, the payment form could delegate splits based on something as simple as a URL parameter. For example, a podcast could include the payment page URL in their Funding tag, then PodcastGuru automatically adds "?ref=podcastguru" to the URL. 1/ npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J.

The last two times I've presented about Podcasting 2.0 at conferences, I told how podcasting was originally like the wild west and the time of the judges when everyone did what was right in their own eyes. Then Apple came along like a sheriff and helped establish order and caused the west to thrive. But the sheriff grew old and stopped innovating. That's when gold was discovered. That gold is Podcasting 2.0. So I guess we're all gold-diggers? 🤣 npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J.

Or simply listing it as a resource for podcasters? npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J. Lewis Who says teleprompters are only for newscasters and politicians?

Lewis @nprofile…tsmm @nprofile…7epg It was someone who did some basic cross calculations and estimated extrapolations. For example, if you run the prompts through OpenRouter and see the cost is $100, and you run it through a Claude subscription and see it used 2% of your limit, then you can infer that you'd get about $5,000 from Claude's subsidization. npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J. Lewis "If you want …" has become the most frustrating response I've been getting from #OpenClaw lately. Me: "Do the thing." OpenClaw: "Okay. I've prepared the thing.

Lewis @nprofile…7epg Anthrophic and OpenAI have so drastically subsidized their subscriptions that even with reduced usage, you're probably still getting a killer deal. Before this throttling, that last stat I heard was that the $200/month Claude Max plan gives up to $5,000 worth of inference (what you'd pay through OpenRouter or the direct API). npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J.

Lewis @nprofile…td70 Another approach you could take is what I've seen some other tools do, using actual delimiters. Amazon, for example, using |, and you could potentially use a simple comma. With a comma, you could automatically turn each thing into a sort of "tag," like I do with PodChapters' transcription engine: https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/116/013/645/981/948/342/original/012dacd0608a3fce.mp4 npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J. Lewis I don't think we need a <podcast:merch> or <podcast:store> tag. We can use <podcast:funding> for that and simply add an additional attribute: If no attribute is attached, assume it's a "money" link. Or include a `type="store"` attribute and apps can interpret it as a store link. No extra tag necessary! @nprofile…dffe won't see this. 😦 npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J.

Lewis If we could solve the perceived conflict between dynamic content-insertion and 2.0 chapters/transcripts, we'd probably be able to get more enterprise providers onboard. Put simply: image dynamic content could be 30 or 90 seconds. When the audio is delivered with that content, the chapters and transcript need to shift by the same amount, but only for that one listener. npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J.

Lewis @nprofile…9ap7 @nprofile…6txf @nprofile…5yxp @nprofile…ge5x @nprofile…0wwy Can you really distinguish between a VPN and a datacenter from the access logs? I'm guessing that can't be done effectively, so to prevent abuse (ads, stats, or bandwidth), it's easiest to block anything from a datacenter, which probably includes a lot of VPN traffic. This is why some VPN/proxy services offer "residential IPs" at premium prices. npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J.

Lewis @nprofile…5yxp @nprofile…6txf @nprofile…ge5x FYI: VPNs are causing more trouble because the connections are usually coming from data centers and thus look like bots. There might also be some technical protocols or something else breaking with some VPNs. For example, I usually can't use Telegram over a VPN. npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J. Lewis Does your #podcast need #WordPress anymore?

Lewis @nprofile…ge5x Oh. It turns out that Blubrry's Podcast Mirror service appears to have taken all my retired podcast feeds offline without notifying me (I think). I believe their original announcement was that feeds would not continue to update without paid subscriptions to Podcast Mirror. And I didn't need to keep updating the feeds for those retired shows, so I left them on PM. But now the feeds are completely offline. I sent a support ticket to Blubrry. npub1etmga4nrfp0ejdwtlxy9f8xw79uyllcdnvv5r95c29n8tk60rzqsmmsavu Daniel J. Lewis @nprofile…ge5x Weird.
