Bitcoin Lightning Network. This system allows
you to send and receive small units of Bitcoin
known as sats. So why should you support your
favorite podcasts? Well, many of us have learned
a lot from the podcasts we listen to regularly,
and they've inspired us in countless ways. Since
most podcasts are available for free they rely
on income from many different sources including
advertising By supporting podcasts on fountain
.fm. You can show your appreciation and send
some value back in return It's what we call value
for value right now There are over 12 ,000 podcasts
you can support on fountain .fm with more joining
every week You can support any podcast with a
yellow lightning bolt on the show or episode
pages if the bolt isn't yellow That means the
podcaster hasn't set up to receive payments yet.
You can tag the podcaster in a tweet and tell
them to claim their show so you can start supporting
them. When you press the bolt, you'll see a button
labeled splits. With splits, podcasters can share
income with guests, contributors, and good causes.
Whenever you support a podcast, the money gets
divided and distributed to all the splits. To
support a podcast, simply listen to any lightning
podcast, and you'll see two options on the player
screen. stream and boost. With stream, you can
send SATs to the podcaster for every minute you
spend listening. The minimum is 10 SATs per minute
to ensure that each split gets their share. You
can toggle streaming on or off from the menu
and update the number of SATs you want to send
every minute. With boost, you can send SATs to
the podcaster along with a message. Boosts get
displayed as comments so that other listeners
can read and respond to them. Fountain .fm charges
a 4 % fee on top of all streams and boosts, but

transaction fees to just 1 % and get access to
other advanced features. When topping up your
