In a bold move, Björk becomes one of the first major music artists to embrace blockchain technology. Those ordering Utopia, her latest album, get the option to check out in major currencies - Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dash - as well as providing its own currency Audiocoin. As a reward for pre-ordering, consumers had the opportunity to receive 100 Audiocoin (ADC) as a reward.
The technology is being provided by Blockchain startup Blockpool, who have a lengthy history in the technology. Users opting for a reward will have a wallet created for them, increasing the experience.
The market is already reacting favourably to Audiocoin’s ventures of recent:
With avid market followers getting in on the fun:
With platforms like Steemit and Musicoin offering a slightly more pain free entry point to the world of cryptocurrency, will 2018 be the year of reducing barriers of entry for the mass market?
Don’t know about you, but I’m getting an itchy trigger finger over the vinyl copy. Check out the store here.
As if i needed more reasons to love bjork. Hadn’t heard of audiocoin, thanks for putting that on the map. So wild that a release from an artist of credibility can double a coins market cap overnight. Not seeing returns like that from Spotify sales.

There is a weird push on ADC atm, lots of users pushing hype and then people getting right on the market. I think the hype is selling it more than anything right now.

Cool indeed! A downside to this AudioCoin is that when I created an account with them some months ago, and also did some promotions for them for which I was promised to get some of their AudioCoins; They never ever enabled my wallet, hence I dont have the coins they promised me. Even after contacting them several times; And even though they responded two times, nothing progressed. I still wonder why Blockpool and Björk is using them, It seems they are still far from professional.

Yeah. My wallet hasn’t manifested yet (signed up to Aurovine, powered by Audiocoin), and the upload buttons for artists have vanished from my view. I’ve found a few music places now that offer things for musicians and nothing matches up to the functional but working Musicoin. The only real reason I’ve even seen Audiocoin is because traders have been getting excited about the percentages.

Aurovine: Did exactly the same, chatted with their support (through email), but no results.
Audiocoin: traders, only recently traders did pick up this coin, not sure why. Musicoin did pick up pretty well, but I'm personally not very pleased with their change in strategy; from a music/artists coin, to a basic income coin (ok, they may have the artist in mind, but their statements are more generic). Also, I'm not very pleased with their current interface, playlists shall be supported for instance; Or did they enable that by now?

This year, so I read. But yeah, that interface is WAY BASIC.

That would be cool, since without playlist there is not real stickiness for the listener.
