Glad someone on the internet is kind. Also I agree with Cyberduck being a good FTP uploader also I cant remember the name but a friend of mine used one that the icon looked like a killer whale. She thought it was even better than Cyberduck
Cant remember now though

I really appreciate everyones responses so far. My question comes out of curiosity and I was needing help defining the market for chiptunes for a marketing project i was working on.
I as a musician love making chiptunes ( I just started) and i love making other music as well.
To clarify to nickmaynard (and everyone else) promising really has multiple meanings here. Does it look like it is catching on with people who are more than just your friends? Does it have a lot of potential to grow or does it seem like it's not progressing at all? Both in a market/revenue sense and in a sense of musical experimentation.
I'd also like to say that I did not ask these questions because I believe I can get rich or where to push/spam my music onto people. But on the other hand I believe it is every musician's dream (and I count chiptune creators as musicians) that one day they could play their music and not have to have another job (unless they wanted to).
That I believe is the dream. And as a society (I am from the United States) that consumes so much music I believe we should be properly supporting the people who make that music.
But once again thanks everyone for your responses so far. And please keep posting

So my question is a little less on the technical and musical side and more on the business side so please bear with me.
Where do ya'll see the market for chiptunes at? Where do you perform? (if you do) Like what cities are you all from? and do ya'll get together?
Also does the market for chiptunes look promising? Have you made any money off of the chiptune scene? And what source did you make that revenue if you did (merch, performing, publishing)?
Personally I am from New Orleans. I have grown up here and as you may have heard it is a big jazz city. Not like New York jazz though. Some of it is the standard stuff, but more now I am seeing jazz funk and jazz rock bands or hip-hop influenced by jazz. But it is also very welcoming to other types of music, we have a indie rock scene growing and we did have a metal scene here for a while (now only House of Blues "houses" that scene [pun intended])
Thank you for your time,
