It was livestreamed globally via Podcasting 2.0 apps and NOSTR Live, making it accessible to anyone, anywhere. We raised over 0.0045 BTC (around £375 at the time) — all routed directly to the artists with no middlemen, no gatekeepers. This recording captures the live show exactly as it happened, complete with value time splits — so when the artist changes, the bitcoin flows to the right wallet, seamlessly in the background.
