The problem BeatSpire solves

The problem BeatSpire addresses is the traditional music industry's lack of transparency and fair compensation for artists. It offers a decentralized platform where musicians can monetize their creations, receive royalties from secondary sales, and interact directly with their audience. This ensures a more equitable distribution of revenue and fosters a closer connection between artists and fans. Additionally, BeatSpire safeguards against piracy and copyright infringement, promoting a secure environment for musicians to thrive and listeners to discover exclusive, authentic music NFTs.

Challenges we ran into

One specific bug that we ran into while building Beatspire was a problem with the way that the platform was storing NFTs. The original implementation of the platform was storing NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, which was very slow and expensive.

Another hurdle that we ran into was the lack of resources available for musicians who want to learn about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and decentralization. We eventually overcame this hurdle by creating a comprehensive guide to using Beatspire, which is available on the platform's website.

Finally, We also ran into the challenge of marketing Beatspire to musicians and other creators. We eventually overcame this challenge by reaching out to music blogs and other publications, and by attending music industry events.

Overall, we learned a lot from the process of building Beatspire. We learned how to solve complex technical problems, how to market a new product, and how to build a community around a new platform. We are grateful for the challenges that we faced, as they helped me to grow as a developer and as an entrepreneur.
