NOTE: As of midday on 11/29 MetaMask was not syncing with Kovan transactions and emitted events. By evening 11/29 everything appears to be working normally, but please be aware there is a potential ongoing issue with MetaMask/Kovan.
JustStreamIt requires kovan eth to interact. Get kETH here--> [https://faucets.chain.link/]
JustStreamIt allows users to stream music in an on-demand model that charges micropayments per stream instead of monthly subscriptions. All transactions are public which discourages the prefential payout models of central streaming services.
Users can also choose to purchase which will then allow them to stream any of the songs without charge. On purchase they will receive an ERC721 token verifying their purchase of the album.
The next implementation with registered artists will use a payment splitter contract combined with a micropayment channel to send funds directly to artists with less transactions/gas fees.
If the user is not connected to Metamask they will be prompted to do so. After connecting to Metamask, the user be prompted to register for the platform in the top left corner. This action will register their address as user of the platform and unlock all platform functionality.
There are two main areas of the platform: streaming functionality and buy functionality.
The audio player contains an 'album' of three songs (::cough:: all taken from my own albums). To listen to these songs the user must stream a micropayment of approximately .005USD. To do this, they must first deposit ETH into the play bank below the audio player. Streams will deduct the micropayment from the bank balance. If they have deposited too much, they can withdraw using the 'withdraw button'. Updated song statistics and the current streaming and album price (based on the current eth price sourced using a Chainlink oracle) is located on the righthand side of the screen.
The buy functionality is located on the lefthand side of the screen. After the album (which currently consists of all three songs on the player) is purchased, the user will be able to stream in perpetuity without paying micropayments for every stream. Their entire player bank balance will also be automatically refunded. As a proof of purchase the user will receive an ERC721 token.
