Podcast player with Value 4 Value

You can now search and play podcasts directly in Vega. If a show supports V4V, you can stream sats to the creators while you listen — it pays all recipients (hosts, producers, apps) automatically via Lightning. Set a per-episode cap and weekly budget so you never overspend. There’s a full V4V dashboard showing who you’re supporting, how much, and your streaming history.

Auto-streaming

Turn it on once and forget about it. Every time you play a V4V episode, streaming starts at your chosen rate. When you hit your budget cap, it stops cleanly. No babysitting.

Own relay: wss://relay.veganostr.com

Vega now runs its own public relay. Every Vega user connects to it by default, so your notes are always reachable even when other relays go down. It’s strfry with negentropy — fast and efficient.
