Check out the Noderunners Radio and their Jukebox Lightning Bot. ;)

The Public is the DJ
If you walk along the coast near Scheveningen, you can sometimes still feel a wisp of freedom in the air. The sea and the beach can do that to a person. Combine it with music, and you have a fantastic concoction, a magical mix everyone would like a taste of.

"What if we could broadcast our music all over the beach? The beach?! LAND!" Where laws stop at national borders, radio waves just keep going!". This is how I imagine the thought process of the pioneers who started Radio Veronica. What a brilliant idea! Just sail your little boat just outside the national borders, and start broadcasting. Whatever you want to get out there. Nice. Whoever wants to listen tunes in, and whoever doesn't, ignores it. Perfect.

What else doesn't stop at borders? Information wants to be free, or so it seems. The internet is a good example of this. Bitcoin even more so.

It is a 'Meme-World' and we are just living in it.
Where Radio Veronica once embodied freedom in its frequencies, flowing over the Netherlands and Belgium, you now only hear the surf, filled with advertising, nonsense, and "the news". Sometimes, if you're lucky, a musical gem suddenly lies in the sand. But often, they are like razor clams. Expertly and purposefully assembled to do what they were made for: maintaining what was. Because when you pick up such a razor clam on the beach, there is no life left in it. The same goes for the many radio stations, commercial or not. The factory music, pre-cooked and all, is pumped into your ears in bite-sized chunks. At least, that's if you can still bear to listen to an average radio station for an extended period of time. Of course, this writing is a bit hyperbolic in its setup, but it should be clear that there is room for improvement.

Enter Noderunners Radio & the Jukebox Bot , the very first Bitcoin-powered radio station, where anyone can be the DJ. No longer will we succumb to the dictatorship of the oligopoly that holds sway over the music industry. A new, more melodious tea party has emerged.

We are on the eve of a "Cambrian explosion" in FOSS.

Or, Free (as in freedom) Open Source Software. The Jukebox Bot is also FOSS. This means that anyone can get started with it. Currently, this little robot is still somewhat limited in its movements. But thanks to a few brilliant Noderunners, hard work is being done to modularize the software. This means that it looks like such pieces of software in the future can 'on the fly' hook in and out with other pieces of software, to provide a certain service.

We envision a future where musicians can hash their work to the timechain as proof of creation by the creator. This would replace legacy copyrights with a more organic system. The process would likely involve a musician generating a unique digital fingerprint (a hash) of their song file and then embedding this hash into a Bitcoin transaction. This transaction, once confirmed and added to a block on the Bitcoin time-chain, would serve as an immutable and verifiable timestamp of the song's existence.

To receive payments, the system would utilize Bitcoin's Lightning Network and Nostr clients. When a user requests a song via the jukebox, the system would automatically send a payment in "sats" (the smallest unit of bitcoin) directly to the musician's Lightning address. The payment is instant and peer-to-peer, bypassing traditional royalty collection agencies and allowing musicians to be rewarded directly for their work.

We imagine that the public listening to the radio, when it eventually matures to FM and AM transmissions, determines what is played , while quietly also transmitting the status of the Bitcoin network over FM and AM.

Try it yourself.
Listen via https://radio.noderunners.org or https://zap.stream/noderunnersradio.
To add music, you can use the web interface of the jukebox to Noderunners Radio at https://jukebox.lighting/jukebox/web/-1001672416970 or use the TG chat at https://t.me/noderunnersradio

How robust do you want it to be?
Any amateur can make a receiver with some copper wire and a little tinkering. Okay, we don't have an antenna yet and are for now bound to the waters of the internet, but our ambitions are high. The passion and the puzzle pieces are there, and they will one day be put together. Why not by you and me? If you don't yet see the path entirely, don't worry, we are also still figuring a large part of it out, but it comes down to the fact that it is in principle possible to replace legacy copyrights with a more organic system. Top-down systems, where a central power wields the scepter, are slowly but steadily being overgrown with the ivy of technological progress. A redistribution of power back to the individual.

Welcome to the most confusing decade ever.
If you're trying to find the signal through the noise, you're not alone. It's predictable that this transition will not go smoothly in many areas. Evolution is always a story that is discussed and fought from different perspectives. Behind the scenes, people are working hard to make the transition as painless as possible for as many people as possible. Noderunners Radio and the Jukebox Bot are trying to contribute to that in their own way. Something we are now working on but is not yet completely finished is making it possible to reward the musicians directly the moment someone requests their music via the Jukebox.

If all this is incomprehensible language for you, or if you can't imagine what is being suggested above, we invite you to come and play with what already works. You can do this via the Telegram group of Noderunners Radio, the testbed for the Jukebox Bot: https:t.me/noderunnersradio

Current Status
For now, this project is in its early days, even though it has been up and running for ~three years. Those building on it have been doing it at a loss of funds, when time and life permits it, as a hobby, out of a love for music and community. If this resonates with you, consider supporting us however and when you can. Thank you for your time and attention. Please play us a song!

Manifesto of the Noderunners Radio and the Lightning Jukebox Bot

@NoderunnersFM's bio

Yes, we want a massive antenna on Bukele's vulcano. Radio waves don't stop at borders. Plebs will be the DJ via the Jukebox, and we will try and silently append the state of the Bitcoin Network to the FM/AM signal.

bitcoin

If you are a musician, and you want to get paid directly whenever someone requests your music through the Jukebox Bot, reach out, we might be able to assist you.

"We are working on a demo for the @JukeboxLNDbot where musicians get paid directly when anyone uses the Jukebox to request a piece of music. The @noderunnersfm Radio will be the test-bed for new functionality. It exists mostly to showcase the #bitcoin enabled Jukebox Bot."

As for the Radio itself, we will strive to keep it a place void of convictions (maybe excepting Bitcoin related stuff).

Best Noderunners Radio meme wins 21k sats! (a thousend standard jukebox plays)

**Our trust in DJ's has been destroyed, and we have moved to obsolete them!**

Here is a discription of what we are building right now.

**Noderunners Radio** is an interactive radiostation. Use the Jukebox Bot to add music to the queue.

**What we achieved:**
*   We want the crowd to be the DJ. Our Jukebox Lightning Bot\* makes this possible.  
    Not only for Radiostations, but also for live events, venues, bars and pubs, businesess, you name it!    
*   You want a three channel silent disco for your #bitcoin meetup, conference of festival? We got you covered!    
*   No BS talk, no adds, just fantastic music from Noderunners around the world!\*
    

**Our ultimate goals:**
*   Get this thing to FM and internet Radio protocols   
*   Get it going during live events
    


**Tune in via our** [zap.stream](https://zap.stream/naddr1qqjrswfevvukxvrr95cx2vt9956xyepn94snxdfs95urwwryxe3x2wfjvscn2q3qeaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsxpqqqpmxwe2sz27) or [radio.noderunners.org](//radio.noderunners.org).  
You can find the unique basic web-interface for the [Lightning Jukebox Bot of Noderunners Radio here](https://jukebox.lighting/jukebox/web/-1001672416970). Additionally, you can listen to the Radio via our [Telegram group here](https://t.me/noderunnersradio).

**You can even spin up your own Radio with our Jukebox Lightning Bot!**  
_When you do, you will get your own unique web-interface!_  
_Ask for help in our TG chat if you need it,_ _or just come hangout and play us your favorite pieces of music!_

It works very well for parties, pubs, or wherever else you want folks to have acces to a Lightning enabled Jukebox Bot. **GREAT FOR ORANGE PILLING FRENS AND FAM!**

**Further plans**

*   Getting the bot to nostr  
    _This process is slowly underway, see: #npub1wqtq2k9cawq2hkwz474xdm6ef0drmdhn4fk59hpyuex5l0ewa9rsj9a4cz_    
*   Getting some dedicated hardware for streaming the Radio   
*   Making the Lightning Jukebox Bot more modular  
    _To easily allow for pluggin in/out more media-players & -labraries and to further bot integration over more platforms_    
*   Integrating with [Wavlake](https://wavlake.com) with the Jukebox Lightning Bot  
    _So musicians get their fair share of sats paid to the Jukebox_
    
**We have started** [FOSSing the Jukebox Bot](https://github.com/LightningJukeboxBot) (we may make a seperate project page for that).

Please bear with us while we slowly add more things to the Github page. Normie life and the dirty FIAT-mines still take a sizeable chunk of our lives.

[A friendly neighborhood Noderunner](https://github.com/PMK) created an applet for the [Tidbyt](https://tidbyt.com) so you can see the current track playing on Noderunners Radio. [Find it, and a preview of it, here.](https://github.com/tidbyt/community/pull/1838)

**We are expanding to support live music and artists in another project called Sesh.**

**Find the** [Geyser.fund of it](https://geyser.fund/project/sesh), and the [Github page here](https://github.com/artdesignbySF/Sesh).

**_We will strive to stay transparent on how we spend your donated sats._** _You worked hard for them, and we feel it is important to give you some insight in how we allocate them to further the project. Do know that we must keep team-member privacy in mind. The administration is not quite ready yet, but once it is, we will update this page with some statistics._

_\*We might prob setup seperate pages for the Jukebox Bot and the Sesh app._

\*Because we do not want to do ads we are reliant on your support.

To all our listeners and Jukebox users, and especially to the folks that donated to our ![Geyser.fund](https://geyser.fund/project/noderunnersradio), THANK YOU very much for your support! 

Some friendly neighborhood Anon bitcoiner donated another massive stack to our little Radio Station and the JukeboxLNDbot! Whomever you are, from the entire team, we are humbled and immensly grateful for your support via @Geyser! THANK YOU!!

Funds will go to one of our devs who's on the road a lot. He is in need of some new hardware. Also some dedicated streaming hardware. We might put out some bounties for the Jukebox Bot and maybe for the Sesh project. We will discuss it the coming days/weeks.

We will setup some kind of accounting system too. We want to be somewhat transparent (keeping individual privacy in mind) as to how donated funds are spent, and make sure they cannot be mixed up with non-project-related funds.

Again, a massive thank you to all donaters and our listeners and Jukebox Bot users. You are the DJ on Noderunners Radio, and the sheer amount of variaty in music we've been hearing is amazing, thank you!

How cool is this!? 
Someone made an applet for Noderunners Radio! 
Its for the [Tidbyt](https://tidbyt.com/), and you can find it here: https://github.com/tidbyt/community/pull/1838

We love it!
It shows the current track playing. Now you can see when your requested [@JukeboxLNDbot](https://twitter.com/JukeboxLNDbot) track is playing!

Hi frens. I just wanted to share this with you, as it pertains to the  inherent struggles of existence we, at one point or another, probably all face, and this content has been immensely helpful to me in trying to grok some of the unexplainable facets of life.  

Its a very philosophical oriënted YouTube channel discussing archetypes and modes of thinking/being. 

https://www.youtube.com/@Eternalised

That it may be of use to some.

Help with the struggle of existence,

To celebrate the #Noderunners having their 2 year jubilee, and Noderunners Radio ~1st year of existence this weekend, for a limited time only, the Bitcoin Jukebox Lightning Bot is currently free of charge via our TG group: http://t.me/noderunnersradio!

Please consider some basic Jukebox etiquette and give everyone a chance, don't spam the queue full to the brim plz. Thank you!

And remember, if you wish to spin up an instance of the Jukebox yourself, you can. Just chat with the bot or ask for help in our TG. 

We're bringing it to NOSTR any day now too.
