It's not a conference call. It's a moderated panel, and they have many famous / interesting people participating on their platform.
Aren't conference calls also moderated? Otherwise they would just be a broadcast.

So it's an un-edited Podcast you can only listen to live? Or I guess if you're closer to my age, it's like a radio station you can't listen to without a password?
> 100% of the payment will go to the creator ... Clubhouse will take nothing. Well imagine if they had an Android app in the first place or earlier right before all the big players started copying them, then it would have been attractive to the users. Right now, what is the point if the invite system is still there. Another platform can just announce the same thing and they are back to square zero. > We are excited t…
I’ve been on Clubhouse for over two months now; it’s very polished for a beta app and the community it has attracted is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been online since the BBS days of the 80s and everything since then.
The $100 million they raised from a16z gives them the runway to do things right. I see the copies shutting down before in their attempts to displace Clubhouse.
Very interesting that they chose to go with a tipping model vs letting creators set up "pay to enter" chat rooms. That would be a lot more useful for the way I normally see the product used. I guess this was just the easiest lift from the technical side (not too much work beyond copy pasting some Stripe sample code). Although if it's just a matter of P2P money transfer for tips/donations then I'd rather use something…
Popular clubs have corresponding Telegram chats where people can tip Clubhouse users including using Satoshies via lightning network.
What a strange app. Are people really that amazed by conference calls? It seems the entire play right now is exclusivity, not product.
Mumble + new rich = this
Does anyone use clubhouse for anything other than self promotion?
> Clubhouse will take nothing. Interesting choice. It would have been easy to add an extra 1-5% on top of each payment.
Full disclosure: I work in the payment space. -> I really wish that they used crypto for this type of things. Crypto has some pretty massive advantages. 1) No cc fees if you have a wallet. 2) No risk of censorship 3) support in any country.
It’s also very hard to use, mistakes are permanent and a lot if not most people never hold any crypto outside of the exchanges. Transfers are also slow and too expensive for small amounts. Moving funds costs about 20$ at the moment for BTC.
Sphinx Chat and Breez (a bitcoin wallet) already support streaming sats to podcasters in realtime: https://medium.com/breez-technology/podcasts-on-breez-stream...

Of course, using lightning, the payment is instant and cost fractions of a penny.

I’m aware of lots of Android users who have bought used iPhones or are using their kid’s iPod Touch to access Clubhouse.
