Why is everything so slow?
If anyone has the answer, it is welcome, because for my part I do not understand the process. Music platforms on the blockchain are born in stages!? It will take many months to see the appearance of features that all coders worthy of the name would code you in a few days, even weeks. Do you have an explanation? Comparatively, Choon had been delivered turnkey, fully functional. Basically. Look at Audius, everything is basicaly here.
Musicoin
At the time of writing this publication, the Musicoin platform is frozen, the network no longer works.. no more minors. We understand them! Mining does not mean losing money. The site is frozen, the artists can no longer put music there since the network no longer works. The dev team and the ambassadors may say that they will save the ship and that a new platform with a new Token will see the light of day soon, it's dead! Why? Because we have been waiting for two years for an update of the website, an update that would make the website attractive, both for artists and for music lovers. An update with which the artists could have created albums (a basic function all the same), playlists, reorganization of tracks, lists of favorites, etc, etc.. The list is long with features what more mundane. And nothing, not even the shadow of a screenshot of a future version. It is also a mistake, this blatant lack of communication. And now, after two years of waiting in vain, the decimated, totally disorganized team should offer us a new platform shortly? Come on, come on, let's be realistic.. But, wait and see.
I shared my musicoin profile because the mainpage don't even point to music.. A first big mistake! Musicoin is trade only on Dove Wallet now, and daily volume is near to 0.
Emanate
A promising project, certainly. But slow to execute. Let's go back a bit.. It was in December 2019 that all the big announcements were made to recover the artists of Choon. We are in May 2020. Gentlemen, what are you waiting for? I have never seen a platform with such limited functionality when launched. They have just been slightly updated, that is to say that you can upload your tracks alone. It's an Alpha phase, ok! But you are already asking to pay subscriptions. The artist profile is a simple page with the tracks, no possibilities for the music lover to fav it, fav tracks or anything else. ?! Move a little more fast, maybe. Emanate is based on EOSIO blockchain and the EMT token is used for access and governance. The Team look a good one, open to listening to artists, and doing the best to fix the things. But will that be enough?! Because there are two very important aspects to deal with, the artist side and the music lover side. And to attract music lovers, the site must be attractive, ergonomic, functional. Some of the music platforms that emerge on the blockchain forget this second part, which is probably the most important for a viability in the medium and long term: music lovers! I believe in Emanate but they need to move faster to get people of both sides with them.
Keep an eye on Audius, Matter.. which I will tell you about later.

Crypto currency and the ability for artists to get paid for our creations is a huge win! Now musicians can always stay independent, control their product and keep a record of transactions (encrypted of course). It is awesome.
Hey there,
Yes, it's a big door that opens for artists. However, we are only at the beginning. The road is going to be long.
Thanks to drop by! :0)
Thanks for the analysis, well done. Hard not to feel 'on the bleeding edge' after having invested so much time and especially faith in Choon and Musicoin.
Hello there,
In the end, a lot of expectation, hope, and not really anything solid, yet :0)
Thank you for your message!
I'm hearing what you say about Musicoin and Choon....wasted money there in terms of the investors. But Emanate still looks promising. It's straightforward now I'm in there, but still waiting for their reward coin to be exchangeable on the EOSio chain.
Hey man,
I'm not saying Emanate is not promising. I'm saying it's so slooow.
And music lovers still can't use it as as it should be: playlists, fav, follow, etc..
