@dave Although, in theory, an app developer could display whatever splits happen based on the feed. For example, doing a BOOST they could display the following, but again, it is up to the app dev.

Boost Amount: 100
App Fee: 20
Splits from the podcaster:
Hosting Fee: 16
Guest: 12
Podcaster: 52

@dave Lastly, I agree with Adam that everything should be disclosed/up-front for app users. When they connect a wallet, there should be a warning saying "this app takes x% of any bitcoin usage to support the app's developer". What happens to the donation after it leaves the app, regardless of whether it pays for hosting fees or not, is really more of the business of the podcaster than the listener.

@dave I understand Adam doesn't like the idea of the listener paying for the podcaster's hosting fees or something, but at the same time, isn't that what happens with businesses in general?

When I pay for my groceries, I'm not sitting there thinking to myself "Gee, I'm paying for my food PLUS paying for the store's electricity".

The only difference is that the money is divided in real-time instead of first going to a bank account and then being paid to someone else.

@dave Here is my opinion on the whole fee vs. split thing regarding V4V.

Fee = used to denote a cost for a podcast host or app. Gets subtracted from the gross amount being boosted or streamed.

Split = Dividing up what is left after fees between guests, hosts, etc.

The @collectivecast and @anusapples websites are currently being upgraded to the latest and greatest versions of @Castopod !

There are some minor potential hiccups during this time, but nothing serious.
