you won't be surprised to hear that this theme is at the heart of the mycelia-for-music hackweekends we were doing with Imogen Heap. The Steem model adds to this conversation though in ways that I haven't thought through fully. Thanks you've made a link that wasn't there before...
Good to know Imogen Heap's looking wide into the industry, afaik they're affiliated with Ujo Music, or some ethereum based applications if I remember :) Would be interesting to see what they have to say :) mad respect to artists always pushing the boundaries of tech and trying to apply them.
That's a common misconception because Ujo were the first off the blocks to make a prototype for selling "Tiny Human" - the ethereum link was largely through our friend Vinay Gupta who properly turned Imogen on to blockchain and the idea of smart contracts for songs. afaik (though it's been a few months since we chatted) there is no formal link between mycelium and any particular chain, platform or technology.
Ah thanks for the clarification, keep us up to date if the steem model is adding anything to the conversation :)
