Among other updates designed to make the experience easier for new users, a new software update enables wallet funding directly through the app.

Fountain Podcasts, a Lightning-enabled podcast app designed to facilitate value-for-value transactions, has introduced its 0.6.0 update with numerous features geared towards capturing new value for valuable users.

In a blog post, Fountain highlighted the new ability to fund your Fountain account through a partnership with MoonPay. Thanks to this partnership, users can now use a debit card or a credit card to buy satoshis which arrive in the apps wallet soon after.

The update also brings the arrival of the activity page, a feed that displays popular episodes and clips. The release describes how, this is just the first of many new social discovery features we will be adding to Fountain that use money as a signal of value.

In addition to these larger updates, several UI changes have been implemented, including a new content card design, the ability to reply to clips, clips, and comments displayed on episode pages under Activity and more.

Through the Fountain app, podcasters can receive sats for the content they provide, while listeners can receive sats for likes on their comments or clips. Streaming your favorite podcaster sats minute by minute provides a direct link between consumer and content creator, and is a way to empower those creators using Lightning.

By facilitating this value-for-value model, podcasters can avoid outside funding sources. In many industries, but especially in the Bitcoin industry, these outside sources can introduce conflicts of interest that can even potentially prove harmful to consumers who trust their favorite podcasters. With software like Fountain, these consumers can directly support these podcasters and reduce the potential for such events.
