Intro Music: NIN - March of the Pigs
In this episode of Ungovernable Misfits – ACTION NEWS!!! We mention our Solo Sundays project with Demand’s SV2 build and guide by Urban Hacker. (actually we forgot to talk about it so I’ll drop some info in the show notes). Another Scam befalls the Pleb Miner Mafia, Oklahoma passes a Bitcoin Rights Bill and how it affects miners. Agent P writes and article for UM on his direct DC mining build. We cover another excellent Bitcoin Bugle article from Rod Palmer – CIA Signals Support for OP_CAT. Finally we finish the show with a discussion on how to not be a PIG.
We begin this episode as we do all shows, by communicating with all of you via podcasting 2.0 boosts. Be sure to Boost on the podcasting 2.0 app of your choice. At Ungovernable Misfits we offer a feature rich podcasting 2.0 experience.
Jon and Urban Hacker have developed a guide for true solo mining with the help of DEMAND.work. Urban Hacker has two guides on how to get started in his web page, the easy mode and the hackers way. If you have any trouble getting your node setup and mining, let us know, we want every miner to at least have the capability and ability to truly solomine and create their own block template, whether it makes financial sense for you or not, you should still have the knowledge and hardware to accomplish this task.
Lincoin Mining brings you Statistics like: global hashrate, hash price, hash value, tx fees, and more. Lincoin has made some changes to their payout structures. Minimum payout is now .0001 for lightning and .005 for on chain, make changes as necessary.

AVOID GETTING SCAMMED IN TELEGRAM GROUPS BY DORKS POSTING A “GOOD DEAL”!!!
Don’t be a PIG! Consider every time you get caught up in some fun Twitter drama or insignificant, nit picking spat with another pleb, that your time, energy and attention are focused on the wrong thing. People consume scandal like pigs at the trough, greedily gobbling up every juicy morsel of gossip and scandal. They plunge their snouts into the slop, oblivious to the muck splattering around them, driven by an insatiable, frenzied, and almost grotesque hunger for more. Don’t be a blind consumer, unaware of the world beyond your pen, beyond the trough you’re likely holding in your hand, right now. Don’t be distracted … and… don’t be a pig.

Unknown:
Better. Get all your reverse burps out?
[00:00:14] Unknown:
No. No. I was saving for the show, mate. I'm good.
[00:00:26] Unknown:
It does make me feel better. Ungovernable misfits action news will make you feel better. Welcome to it, Max. Ungovernal misfits action news episode
[00:00:37] Unknown:
5. That just went mental on the soundboard. We're gonna have to clean that up, mate.
[00:00:42] Unknown:
Yeah. That's alright.
[00:00:45] Unknown:
The soundboard lost its fucking mind. Got overexcited.
[00:00:49] Unknown:
It's been a month. I can't wait for this. The soundboard doesn't feel better, but we do. Yeah. We do. How are you, my friend? Never better. I I feel awesome. I'm just having another coffee now. I bought the wrong fucking beans. This is first world problems, but I bought Yeah. Non ground beans, and then I couldn't find my coffee grinder. I then put all the beans into a plastic bag, just beat the shit out of them with a big spoon. So they're just sort of like gritty, grainy, sort of like core bits here and there. It's not like properly ground, shove them in. So that's the only downside of my life at the moment. Everything else is perfect. And then I'm speaking to you, which is just even better, mate. So how about you? I just wanna say before I talk about myself, the boostograms
[00:01:34] Unknown:
for this, like, pay attention to this Linkin Park rules. Does he want to be called Linkin Park rules? I mean, everybody knows his name is Jordan. He's got it on Twitter. I don't wanna call him Linkin Park rules anymore. Hey, Jordan. I do. Good. You do that, and I'll do what I wanna do. Okay. Jordan, pay attention to the boosters right now because all the coffee bros are losing their fucking minds about Max not having a q 75 Sumitomo coffee grinder. Fundamentals is gonna freak out. Otis Bittmeyer, who makes fantastic coffee from what I understand, is going to give you some suggestions. He probably won't freak out like a coffee bro like Fundamentals will. And then I recently saw expatriotic who posts some coffee stuff. You know, all these guys got these little, like, hand grinders in this pour over thing, and they have all these names for all these different parts. Yep. I mean, I like it. It's cool with me. I I just there's no way I can introduce something else into my life where I have to be anal about enough anal. Got enough anal going. Exactly. I was just about to say. Damn it. I hate when we do the same jokes. That's proper dad joke there. I mean, they might cry about this, but it's not something that I did
[00:02:40] Unknown:
on purpose. I just fucked up. I just ordered the wrong coffee, made a mistake, and then I thought, I can't be bothered to try and dig through the garage, try and find my grinder. Doesn't matter enough. Just beat the shit out of the beans with a spoon and do a very average job, and I'm sure it'll still be fine. So I'm sure some caffeine will still enter my system and keep me going, so it's fine. That's kind of a very English thing to say was beat the shit out of my beans with a spoon. That's why they call them bangers Yeah. And mash. Mhmm. Have you ever had bangers and mash? Do you have that out there?
[00:03:16] Unknown:
Isn't it just like beanies and weenies? This is beans and hot dogs? No. That's what we would call beanies and weenies. No. Bangers and mash is like sausages
[00:03:27] Unknown:
with, like, mashed potato, and then you'd normally have, like, onion gravy with it or whatever. What? Mint sauce. Onion gravy. No. No. No. No. You'd have mint sauce as a lamb. Thinking of things that you say all the time. Yeah. Like, mint sauce, onion gravy. Say to you once about, like, having roast lamb and mint sauce, and you were like, I've never had roast lamb. Was that you? Did say that. That was me. Yeah. You were really fucked up. Eat it 4 or 5 times a week. I don't eat it 4 or 5 times a day. So, like, a rare if I have the money and it's a nice sundae and I have a bit of time, I'd make a nice roast lamb for the family and, like, do it properly. And then you have some mint sauce. Some people have mint jelly, but I'd have mint sauce normally. I prefer it. It's It's more like vinegary. But the fact that you've never tried it makes me quite sad. Oh, I don't wanna make you sad.
[00:04:17] Unknown:
Sarah, dear, put that on a shopping list.
[00:04:20] Unknown:
No. I'll cook it for you. Okay. You can all come over, and I'll do, like, a proper British roast lamb. We'll do it properly. It'd be nice.
[00:04:28] Unknown:
Wonderful. Thank you for the invitation. That's okay. You asked how I was doing. I did. I'm doing well. Know that I care anymore. It's been too long. The audience cares. So you can, hit your mute button and You can shut the fuck up and all that. The space for all I care. How are you, John? I'm well. I'm tired because summer wears me out. Mhmm. Because we don't seem to sleep. Oh. Gardening, playing outside.
[00:04:53] Unknown:
Mhmm. We,
[00:04:56] Unknown:
number 1 child and I are obsessed with pickleball. What the This is the new lazy American sport. We're too fat to play tennis. Mhmm. So everybody plays pickleball now.
[00:05:06] Unknown:
What is that? It's like,
[00:05:09] Unknown:
tennis and ping pong mixed together. In what sense? Like, you've got a tennis racket, a ping pong ball, or you got a tennis You got a, you got, like, a ping pong paddle, and you have a wiffle ball. I don't know if you're gonna know what a wiffle ball is, but it is a plastic ball about the size of a baseball with with holes in it, and it's hollow in the center. Mhmm. So you can you can whack the crap out of that thing, and it doesn't go particularly far. And you play on a about a half a tennis court sized court. Okay. Similar rules to tennis, but the ball doesn't travel as fast. Right. So that's the advantage of pickleball. You you don't have to run as hard. So it's like badminton but shitter.
[00:05:51] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:05:53] Unknown:
Yeah. Perhaps. It's like a ghetto badminton.
[00:05:56] Unknown:
Mhmm. Yeah. Okay. Where where whereas badminton doesn't bounce off the ground. I mean, you're screwed. You've got to get to it. At least with pickleball, you you have a little bit extra time because it's gonna bounce on the ground softly and slowly. You can get over there and
[00:06:12] Unknown:
just lob it across. Do Americans ever play squash? Were you too large for that? I used to play squash when when I was younger. Okay. In racquetball, we call it because that is a I don't know what the difference between squash and racquetball is, personally. I'd imagine you guys have just named it incorrectly. Probably. I've never heard of racquetball. Scott, you like it in a court where you can play off the sides and the back. Mhmm. And it's like a rubber ball that's kind of
[00:06:37] Unknown:
that goes 300 miles an hour.
[00:06:39] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have that. That's the one. That is a great game, especially if you wanna be less fans. Because if you play someone who's better than you, oh, my Lord. Is that everybody you play? Pretty much these days, I imagine. I used to be a phenomenal squash player, mate. Did you really? Yeah. Phenomenal. And tennis. You don't brag about a lot of athletic things, so I tend to believe you on this one. You better believe it, mate. But I I will also be honest and say if I played now, it would be a train wreck.
It'd be a fucking train. I'm talking about, like, many years ago when I was a a very young man, like, an early teen. I was very good, and now I am struggling to walk up and downstairs. So Mhmm. I'm sure I'd struggle. Of course, lowering your value prop on sugar babies.
[00:07:27] Unknown:
Yes. They they wouldn't want you. Oh, definitely not. Well, in this episode of Ungovernable Misfits action news, we're pretty much just doing whatever we want to do this episode. We're gonna go over some statistics as we naturally do, update everybody on our solo Sundays mining project with demands s v 2 pool and a guide written by Urban Hacker. We have been working through some bugs on that, so I'm excited to get everybody updated on what we're doing. Unfortunately, though, another scam has befallen the Pleb Miner group, and this also bled into the home mining wizards group as well. So we will explain the scam.
We will explain the, why people continue to be willing dupes, willingly socially engineered by scammers. I want to talk about the psychology of that. Oklahoma has passed a Bitcoin rights bill, and there's some mining and node running stuff in there that I'd like to read over. It's interesting. The feds are just gonna do whatever they want to so every state can pass whatever the hell law they want to. But if the feds come in, they're gonna fuck you, but we will go over that. This is true. A young man named agent p has written an article for Ungovernable Misfits, a salacious, tabloid esque article that you really shouldn't read because it it it's just it's too much of a third rail.
[00:08:48] Unknown:
But if you want bit like that film The Ring where, like, if you watch it Mhmm. That, like, creepy witch will come and, like, fuck you up and kill you. Like, it's that bad. Yeah. It's that bad. I would I would suggest nobody go ahead and read that article, but we'll talk about it a little bit.
[00:09:02] Unknown:
We will review a Bitcoin bugle article about our good friends at the FBI and CIA adopting the op cat, and, we're gonna talk about pigs, people consuming salacious media like pigs. Exactly. But first, we have some fountain boosts, And I am up 1st. Isn't this a new one? 1st boost is from late stage Hoddle. He boosts 55,555 sats and says, this boost is dumb but is especially lame if you haven't heard the song 2 Phones by Kevin Gates. It goes, John's got 2 phones, 1 for the gram and one for the pod. He got 2 phones, 1 for PM radio and one for the corn. I think he needs 2 more.
How fitting bumping, max ring, ring, ringin'. Counting hash while they ring, ring, ringin'. Mafia jumping crown is ring, ring, ringin'. There you go. That's your late stage hoddle, 55,555 sets. Thank you for making me rap
[00:10:11] Unknown:
on the show late stage, you fucking prick. I didn't know you had it in you, mate. I didn't know you were that, I don't know, cool and ghetto and whatever else you need to be to be a rapper. Yeah. I thought singing was as far as you could go, but it seems there's no bounds to your skills. Well, yes, that's true. What about opera? Could you do something like that? That's the bit from,
[00:10:40] Unknown:
Step Brothers. From Step Brothers. Yeah.
[00:10:44] Unknown:
So you're gonna see if they could do polyoptic.
[00:10:52] Unknown:
And they're all, like, crying. It's just so weird.
[00:10:55] Unknown:
Oh, what a sad clown.
[00:10:57] Unknown:
Warm orange tart. Max and John, your biggest fan here, just dropping by to share some cheer. Horn. Another great show is in the books full of statistics and your other hooks. Some say that I have a fetish for misfits. I just find all other to be fuckwits. Nice. Max and John, you really make the tingle. You really make me tingle. Oh, my God. You ring my bell like Kris Kringle, and then a little Santa emoji. When do we get these type of fans? This is, are we big time now? I'm pretty sure. Anytime you get groupies, you're big time. Yeah. Well, thanks, Walmart and Star. I really appreciate that. And another, Hash Latette.
Dorsey banned me for being explicit. Kinda gay, if you ask me. I wouldn't fuck him. Not ever. Not even for sats and ice cream. Never stop hashing. Never censor. Never stop making the show. Love, hashtag. I wouldn't fuck him. Not ever. Okay. Fair enough. I wouldn't fuck him either. Well, the ice cream's a pretty good teaser. Yeah. The satin' ice cream. Yeah. But I like that. She, she sticks to us. She doesn't want anyone else, not even billionaires. Fundamentals. Okay. This is a weird request, but
[00:12:28] Unknown:
hang on. What the fuck? For his boot. Fuck me. Oh, you bitch. Well, no. Now we know the answer to spits or swallows.
[00:12:52] Unknown:
Oh, god. That was a bit of both, to be honest.
[00:12:56] Unknown:
Wow.
[00:12:58] Unknown:
I took too much of that in my mouth fundamentals. Went right down my went right down my throat and I was trying to gargle it for you and it all went wrong. And because I've laid out fucking hell because I've laid out a load of T shirts all over my desk, try and make the sound quality better. I've tried not to spit it all over that. Okay, you got your money's worth there, babe. Mhmm. He sure did. We all did. Hashlatet. Technical difficulties are a turn off. I expect more from you. Here's 20,000 sats anyway, my sugar babies.
Kiss. Kiss.
[00:13:36] Unknown:
Thank you, Hash Latte. I'm sorry we let you down. We'll do better next time. We appreciate the SATS. I I do feel it was it was my fault, and the technical difficulties she is talking about is everybody had a hard time loading the last episode of action news. And if you don't know how the boosts work, we read the boosts from the previous episode. Last month, the episodes were flip flopped. PMM came out before action news. So if that confused you, I apologize, but this is how it works. And Hash slutet is kindly telling us that she had a problem loading all the cool GIFs and whatnot Mhmm. On her podcasting 2.0 application.
And Jordan was quite busy, and he's like, hey, can you guys help me out? And I'm like, sure. So I make a bunch of GIFs, and they're way too big. And, you know, he does all kinds of back end stuff that I don't know how to do, and apparently, I don't make my GIFs small enough. That was the problem. Yeah. Show's too good. Yeah. I think that's the thing, isn't it? But a few people were whinging. Q and a was fucking whinging. He's a whinger. Always is a whinger. He's always in there. He's like, oh, guys can't listen to me.
[00:14:38] Unknown:
I'm like, well, come on, mate. Can you help it? Oh, no. I'm too busy doing stuff.
[00:14:42] Unknown:
That's a very good impression. You sound just like him.
[00:14:47] Unknown:
He's the winchiest robot that I know. UTXO Management. Yeah. The other robot that we know is actually a really good bloke, but Q. Jesus Christ. Very high maintenance. GLR. Mhmm.
[00:15:00] Unknown:
He still doesn't know what it is, does he? No. I answered on you you tweeted it out. You said Preve Deschanantes will know.
[00:15:07] Unknown:
Uh-huh. I said,
[00:15:09] Unknown:
gay, little,
[00:15:12] Unknown:
robot. Bang on. That's it. Will do.
[00:15:15] Unknown:
Hey, you missed something here on on the, Dorsey banned me for being explicit from Hashladdet. Did I? Somebody had replied, and this gets on my fucking nerves. When somebody's got a really good reply and the reply is, like, 10 sats, and I think it was a why don't you just fucking boost this reply? Good point. But this guy, I ain't gonna say his name. He says, Dorsey is a snake, and all the devs who are deriding him for VC funds are likely going to find out how and why he was made to do what he did while a twatter.
Nothing is free, and the devil always collects what is due. Once a fed, always a fed. I thought that was a banging fucking reply. It should have been a boost. So I put it in. That is a great reply. Can we just clear up, is he
[00:15:57] Unknown:
deriding him or is he deriding him? He's deriding. Okay. Dick riding. So not deriding. Fine.
[00:16:06] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:16:06] Unknown:
And also, child number 3 has explicitly told Sarah that daddy's show curses too much. Sarah's trying to drive, like, to her mom's house, which is, like, 45 minutes away, and she goes, oh, I'm gonna listen to to the show. Really? And and number 3 is in the back going, they're cursing again. They're cursing again. Oh, there's another one. Every time it's a curse, she points it out. So I was like, well, I guess I gotta turn it off. Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Because it's probably me more than you as well. I don't know. I think it's more I think we're both pretty bad. Yeah. We're both pretty bad. Mind What should we do? Carry on doing what we are. Very well. Richard Grieser, it's time to get ungovernable.
Where did the dollar menu go? They're hitting us where it hurts. I agree, Dick Reeser, and be on the lookout for a special dollar menu episode of the Bitcoin bugle. Oh, next one is from Carl. Did you make me a Carl's Corner jingle yet, Max? Do you want the honest answer? Yeah. Always.
[00:17:07] Unknown:
I outsourced it. That's fine. Somebody That's fine. Wait a minute. Hey.
[00:17:14] Unknown:
That's fine.
[00:17:17] Unknown:
That's fine. Don't do that bitch up, mate. Good again. So, okay. That's fine.
[00:17:24] Unknown:
I'm now discovering that our impression is fucking spot on. Yeah. It's exactly the same. Because at first, I thought it was you doing it. That's fine.
[00:17:34] Unknown:
Someone had written me, and I went doxxed them, saying that they had pretty good musical skills.
[00:17:41] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:17:42] Unknown:
Yeah. They said they're actually very musically gifted, and they're a listener of the show. And so I said, alright. Well, is there a way that you can do Carl's Corner? Can you make something for me? Mhmm. And they said, yeah. I will do that for you, but it's not gonna be this week because I have some really important stuff on. But I promise I'll do it. So hopefully, if they stick to their word, we're gonna have an actual musician actually make something, and then I'll take all the credit for it. What sounds great? Yeah. That's what successful people usually do. They outsource. And do you know what's cool is it's a listener of the show, so that's even better. I'm very excited by this. Yeah. Me too. So the answer is no, but
[00:18:23] Unknown:
It is fine. Back to Carl's Corner. As a home mining pleb, I've come to think about profitability differently. Heat first, hash second. I give my miners a job, dehydrating food, drying laundry, growing plants, using excess solar power, even making maple syrup. If I can use miners to do productive work, the systems become more efficient and more profitable. The sales of the products produced with miners earn Bitcoin too and allow for the sats mined to be huddled longer. Sats you don't get are sats you don't have. Maintain the sats flow.
[00:18:57] Unknown:
Will do, Carl. What sort of style do we want this music to be for Carl's Corner?
[00:19:04] Unknown:
I was thinking, like, public radio style, like PBS. Okay. Like a jingle they would have had in the in the eighties. Okay. What are you thinking?
[00:19:18] Unknown:
Don't know why, but I was thinking, like, jazz or soul or something like that. Mhmm. I was thinking, like, what would be nice if I was at Carl's in his corner? He's got animals and plants and all this nice stuff, and he's in nature. And, like, what would I be thinking or wanting to listen to if I was in that environment? I kinda think maybe it'd be jazz or soul, something like that. Certainly, I don't wanna be like trap music or anything like that. No. It'll be something
[00:19:50] Unknown:
like Carlos Corner.
[00:19:55] Unknown:
Doesn't make sense. Yeah. Just something nice. I can't say any more than that. Just, like, maybe, like, don't know. I can't think off the top of my head. I'll leave that to the the musician, but something nice and, like, that you'd wanna listen to when you're around nature. Something joyous and happy.
[00:20:11] Unknown:
You know what I imagine? I imagine that the camera comes up and Carl's in a greenhouse, like, doing some stuff, and his back is, like Mhmm. 3 quarters turn to everyone. And they come in and go he turns around and goes, hi. Oh, oh, you're here. Come on in. Come on into my greenhouse. Come on into Carl's Corner. Oh, yeah.
[00:20:30] Unknown:
Yeah. And then it it fades in. Maybe we can get Carl actually doing, like, a welcome to Carl's Corner, and I can send that to this musician.
[00:20:37] Unknown:
Well, Carl's a pretty talented videographer. This is true. So he might he might be down with that, especially if, you throw some sats at him. Okay. We'll we'll team these 2 up together.
[00:20:49] Unknown:
And to the person who's gonna be doing this, I'll send you a link to this episode and and time stamp so that you can really have a listen, really, nail down what we need. As we riff,
[00:20:59] Unknown:
brainstorm. Mhmm.
[00:21:01] Unknown:
I've lost where we are now. Warm orange tart. Warm orange tart. Max with a kiss kiss kiss. And John, been thinking about you both. Bitey little bottom lip. That's so fucking I love that. Mhmm. Can we just stop and just, like, appreciate how good that is? Yeah. The little bitey bottom lip. Just with that look. Oh my lord. I'm considering starting my own podcast with a little, microphone and, what are they called those things? It's like a dick fruit. Eggplant. Dick fruit. I believe it's in the Night Shade family. Tossing around ideas now, something tells me true crime is what my fans would enjoy best, accidental death due to asphyxiation.
And then like a little not s and m not thing. Okay. I'm pretty cut and dry. I'd love to sink my teeth into something juicier. And then a little peach emoji. Any advice? Winky. Till next time. Cherry pop. Oh, I like this. Horn emoji, e. Horn emoji, e. Horny. Sent from my iPhone. Sent from my iPhone like it's a fucking email. Well, warm orange tart. That's brilliant. I think you should do it. If you want any help with jingles or stupidity, come to me and John, and keep doing the little bitey lip thing. It does does things for me. So Wow. Thank you very much.
[00:22:36] Unknown:
Okay. Moving on. My goodness. Gotta catch my breath after that one. Yeah. I know. Alright. We're gonna we're gonna hammer the rest of these out. This isn't the podcasting 2.0 boost show. It is action news. Experatriotic John Eumasikist, you said you're solo mining, hypocrite, after telling people it's insane to solo mine. Jokes aside, what do you reckon is the smallest you'd want to be in terms of amount of hash to solo mine, assuming you own the machines free and clear? I would say whatever your runway is. If you have a really long runway, go ahead and solo mine, if if that's what you're into. If you don't have a long runway, well, you're not capable of doing it. So it's all about the runway. Another one from Expatriotic, Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels is one of Guy Ritchie's best movies. I definitely did not get this movie recommendation from pod 256. Oh, you
[00:23:26] Unknown:

Poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop. My eyes are no good here, buddy. Should I take over for you?

Can you take over? I can't see that. Yeah. I can do it. An old. Thanks. Hold on a second. Let me just, increase the screen size here. That's right, dad. Expatriotic. Move from fountain, so my boots get red. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji.

I'm at that level of tide. I was looking at the banana, and I was like all my all my brain was doing was, like, yellow. It's a fruit. It's a it's a thing that you eat. It's a
[00:25:07] Unknown:
it's a banana, if that's what it is.
[00:25:10] Unknown:
It's a banana. Rennick went through hell to listen to this episode. That solo Sunday brings old memories from 2022. Do it. Where's Barn Jerky Commercial? See you all at Mining Disrupt. Yeah. I'm sorry you had to go through hell for that last one. I hope it was worth it in the end. And as we've said previously, it's all John's fault. Yeah. Sorry. Randomly. Yeah. I like that you own it. Black coffee. I don't know what that face is. It's like a face with eyes, but it has no it has no it's just like eyes.
[00:25:42] Unknown:
Creepy. But then there's like a a cloud around it.

Yeah. Well, thanks, mate. Avatar.

8th Randir. So many fellow boosters now. It was lonely here not so long ago. Yeah. OG,
[00:26:03] Unknown:
mate Randir. No dumb. Rod Palmer boosted 69100, so that's he had nothing else to say. Bubba Bubba says a lot of dick talk and fag talk. What do you say for? Ordinals. Whose top or bottom? Must say it made me thirsty. Now I'm parched. Okay, Bubba. What do you what do you want? Bon. So many lightning disrespect tours out there. No problem. I'm enjoying using it in many different ways in wallets, near instant settlement, extremely lower fees, don't have to compete for block space with gay wizard JPEG goobers, Don't have to think about, oh, ah, what's that mempool at? I'll just wait until some unknown time in the future to do what I want to do so I don't spend X percentage of my transaction in exorbitant fees. It's not as hard to use it ungovernably as the disrespectors make it out to be. Love y'all.
We love you too, Bon. Yeah. Thank you, Bon. Despite you Canadian.
[00:26:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Canadian. And I I still I still think he's wrong about Lightning because the, the receiving is a is a big problem. Someone, I can't remember who it was, shared something today that might sort of ish get round the receiving issue on lightning. So we'll probably cover that on the next monthly. I know what you're talking about, and I look forward to you in q and a covering that on the next Bitcoin monthly.
[00:27:19] Unknown:
Solex, fuck you the flippening. It is the flappening fuckers. Heart fire. Thank you, Sollex. Oh, shit. I was supposed to do something for this. Let me see. You're gonna hear some clicking. This is a this is why I use a soundboard. I hate all this clicking Mhmm. When people do it. Oh, yeah. I can hear that in the background. You know? Yeah. And why do you have to have a mouse that's so clicky as well? Yes. I don't know. That's exact mhmm. Mhmm.
[00:27:52] Unknown:
But you hear who's the worst for clicking? Q and a. Yeah. The amount of editing that I have to do to get his fucking clicky little fingers edited out. He's clicking around, getting stats and how to do things and all this smart robot stuff. And I just think to myself, why don't you just buy a fucking mouse that doesn't make so much noise? Sure. Yeah. He he easily could do that. Yeah. He's a bull market. Yeah. Yeah. Figure stuff out. You'll click it. Work I'm working on it here. I'm working on it. Okay. That's fine. I don't wanna be too clicky. Okay. That's fine.

Gerdys. Now I don't want Husker Du and Gerdys and flogging Molly. These are old episode sound bites. Damn it. I don't know where it's at. Soulex, I don't know where I put it. We'll get it we'll get it on the next one, Soulex. I I apologize on John's mouth. I can't do this to him. Well, you already are, mate. I can't do this to him.
[00:28:41] Unknown:
What? He's if anyone is a fucking alien, I would vote it's Vitalik.
[00:28:53] Unknown:
Oh, I thought you were gonna do Solix, and I was totally a 100% all in on, say, it's Solix as an alien. Oh, really? Yeah. Maybe they're both aliens. There you go. It takes 1 to know 1.
[00:29:03] Unknown:
No. I mean, it looks just like a fucking alien. Oh, yes. He moves around and talks like an alien.

What? What's what? Exclusives from SolEx. What? Not reading posts. This sounds like wave. Damn you fucking people with these emojis. Winky tongue face. What? Also fun. Started listening to Pod when not connected to Wi Fi and got instant data usage warning. Thanks, Alex. I love you too, buddy.
[00:29:36] Unknown:
Chaos 99. Love the innovative use of chapter art. Tip of the cap. Thank you, mate. That's all Thank you. Yeah. Mainly Jordan. Hashi, you as well. Both of you. Yeah. I'm a part of them. Yeah. You do. So tip of the hat, tip of the cap to both of you. Put the cap to you as well. Expatriotic. You'd probably get more boost from uncompliant, ungovernables if you said to not boost. And then Italian hand, Italian hand, Italian hand. Yeah. That's probably true, actually. But it's getting to a point now where we've been recording for many, many minutes here. Yeah. Too many minutes of boosts. Yeah. We really appreciate the boost. It's fucking awesome, but I don't know. I think maybe we have to keep it as it as it is. We have to tell people, do boost. Because if we tell them not to, it'll be a 5 hour show. That's true. That's true. Pies.
Hey. John killed it. It's pie the donkey. John killed it on the outro, son. Let's fucking go, and then all the exclamation marks.
[00:30:44] Unknown:
Many.
[00:30:45] Unknown:
Peace and love. Beers. Thank you, Pies.
[00:30:50] Unknown:
Thank you, Pies, very much. And now moving on to the show that is actually the show. Statistics. We have some statistics for
[00:31:06] Unknown:
you. Statistics. Statistics.
[00:31:33] Unknown:
Statistics. Statistics are brought to you by Lincoin Mining. So why mine with Lincoin? Well, I have the answer for you right here, sir. They offer a robust suite of customizable tools and innovative user interface and modular services tailored to meet the needs of miners of all sizes and capacities. What's that, Max? Modular services, you say? That's correct. They provide ASIC management and automation, inventory management, an energy trading platform, mining analytics, demand response participation. Define teams' roles to include the most handsome, reliable, and hardworking member of your mining team. No. It's not Max bit by bit. It is our dear friend and cohost, Bobby McButface. And now with load, you can unleash your Bitcoin mining operation's full potential and boost revenue by dynamically tuning your power usage in response to live grid conditions and market trends with
[00:32:31] Unknown:
loads. Unleash your load with Linkcoin.
[00:32:37] Unknown:
Man, that's it. I don't even need the rest read the rest of the ad read. You said it. Say it again, Max. Unleash your load with Link coin. We joke here on Goverdle Misfits, but at Linkcoin Mining and their brother company, load, They take your mining success very seriously and want to see their mining partners and energy consuming mega and gigachads succeed, not only in the short term, but for many epochs to come. That's lingcoin.comandload.iolod. Global hash rate. Global hash rate on a 30 day moving average is 608 exahash. 7 day moving average is 6 55. It was 596 on our last episode. One day highs for the past month have been as much as 708 exahash.
On May 24th, as low as 534 on May 6th. We are coming up to curtailment season, so expect more dramatic hash rate swings over the months to come. Because of that fact, Link coin mining, who has a lot of, demand response participating people given the services that they offer with their energy trading platform and ease of curtailment. Hash rate has dipped a bit and is now at 1.88 exahash. If you are an FPPS payout enjoyer and aren't pointing hash to laincoin, get at it. You'll love the steady and reliable payouts, but you'll stay for the tools. Sarah always makes fun of me when I say anything with 2 o's.
Pool, tool, school. And she say, what? That that's School. Fool. Yeah. And she says there are not 2 syllables in those words. What do you mean? Fool. She's saying I'm, like, almost putting 2 syllables in fool, like, fool. You say fool.
[00:34:24] Unknown:
Fool. Same thing. Yeah. I don't think we're wrong here. I'm I'm scared of Sarah. Oh, me too. Me too. Help me. Sarah, don't take this as an attack, and please don't hurt me. But I think you're wrong here. Okay? I think you need to be, kinder to me and John. I think we're saying it perfectly. And, there's no fools here. The other mining pools of notes hash rate. No. You fuck that. Don't be a Craig. Fuck, sir. That was wrong. Beat him. Sarah, beat him. He's being an idiot here. You deserve it. Foundry is at 173. They were at 179. Antpool, 135, but they jumped to 150.
[00:35:05] Unknown:
Via BTC is 77, jumped to 82. SBI crypto, 12.88, jumped to 13.75. So everybody's going up. Cipline coin, They went down a little bit, but they're in a unique position because they are not just a mining pool. There's a lot of, you know, total package energy strategy going on with Linkcoin. Not just a pool. You don't even have to use the pool if you don't want to. Plenty of other tools within the Linkcoin and load ecosystem that can bring you great value, like hash value, hash value and hash price. Hash value, 77,760 sats per pet hash per day. Boo. That making me sad. Hash price is hovering around $53 per petahash per day. May 5th was a good day for FPPS Enjoyers because that day, a petahash garnered you $58.
Pretty cool. Hey. This isn't hard to do with hash value and hash price. If you wanna take the petahash down to terahash, you just move decimal points. It's really easy. You can do this thing like you used to do in school. You know? Oh, divide 1,000 by a 100. No. I wanna move 2 decimal places over, and you, like, make a little u, you know, as you move the decimal places so you can count how many decimal places you you moved. It's real easy. Everybody can do it. So if you have a petahash and it's $53 a day, well, 100 terahash is gonna be $5.30 a day. If you have less than 100 terahash, you're gonna make less than $5.30 a day. It's it's easy. You could break it all the way down to to 1 terahash, and then you'll know that that's 53¢.
And then you can multiply that by whatever Terahash you have.
[00:36:43] Unknown:
You see? You have to do less maths.
[00:36:45] Unknown:
These are real tools. I like that. Real tools. Yeah. That's why we talk about statistics. That way nobody can bullshit you. All the statistics are here. They're laid out. They're historical. I mean, even if you're not an FPPS person, you're probably pretty close, though, on on an average if you had another payout scheme. Don't let people bullshit you. Understand the statistics. So what I mean by that? Okay. So if you previously used, you know, brains before they they moved over to FPPS and became an AMCOL proxy Mhmm. You lived on luck, but the luck was supposed to even out. So if you zoom out a little bit and then just take, like, all those average hash prices and hash values over a month, it'll probably be just about equal whatever your f p FPBLNS and FPPS will probably be about the same. That's the idea of all of this. FPPS is But it added a bit of a bit of a, a
[00:37:38] Unknown:
bit of fun to it in a way, didn't it? Because you might you might be like, oh my god. We haven't had a block for ages. They're like, well, stress, and then you hit 1. You're like, oh, and then you do well, and it's like fun. Mhmm. Like but maybe sometimes in business, when you're
[00:37:55] Unknown:
trying to trying to not lose everything. It's better to kinda know where you are. That's some it it whatever your preference is. Yeah. You know, we we've got another pool, which I'm damn sick of talking about because they have an insignificant hash rate, but their pay payout system is very similar to PPLNS. Same thing. Just zoom out a little bit. It'll be about the same. And you can apply these statistics in past history. Mhmm. That's all. Just zoom zoom out a little bit. You don't have to go day by day. But if you did it day by day, you probably probably would be about right. Without mentioning that
[00:38:22] Unknown:
gay pool, I like the exchange that we had with their top boy. It was fun. Boy in You really? Boy oh boy.
[00:38:32] Unknown:
Didn't like being challenged. No. And it was very, very mild challenge. If you don't know what we're talking about, you know, that pool has hit 3 empty blocks out of I don't know. I forget now because I didn't break this down. 39 blocks. 3 out of 39, it might be. And I asked a very, mild question. Hey. Is there something that you can do better here? Because you've got a lot of people's time and money on the line and Could you make some process improvements, in the way you do things? No. You're a liar. You're a troll. You know, how dare you say these things? And then I asked other pool operators, larger pool operators, you know, former VPs of very large mining pools. I asked I asked around a little bit after this exchange. I didn't make it part of the show, so I'm not gonna break it all down. The answer is yes. There are process improvements.
There are people that that run very successful solo mining pools. Konkalavas is like, you know, we don't hit any empty blocks. Spoke to somebody else. I I told them it would be off the record, so I'm not going to say who it is. But this guy has been a pool operator for many, many, many years. And he says, you know, what we're working on, no. We won't be hitting any empty blocks either. I talked to another tell you. Yeah. I know. I talked to another third pool operator, as a matter of fact. And they're like, well, what you could what you could do is during this time is just have a number of different blocks candidates set up and just throw whatever transactions are in there. And then later on, once you've gotten your stupid filtered block candidate constructed, then you can send that out to your miners for work. So there are some process improvements that that you can make here. Okay. From what I'm told, I'm not a pool operator. So I can't even just a guy just a guy that reads statistics like network difficulty, which is at 84.38 trillion children.
84.38 children.
[00:40:23] Unknown:
No. Isn't that what he's actually got? Michael Jackson. No. I don't like that. Aforementioned.
[00:40:32] Unknown:
84.38 children, trillion children are starving today. Please help the children. I don't know why I'm laugh laughing about 84.3
[00:40:41] Unknown:
trillion children.
[00:40:42] Unknown:
There's definitely not that many people on the earth. No. I don't think there is. So you can laugh. Yeah. Okay. But network difficulty is 84,380,000,000,000. And given our release dates, we might still be at that difficulty. This show should come out within, like, 10 days, maybe 2 weeks, maybe a month. Who the fuck knows? Transaction fees as a percentage of block reward. They're shitty. As was reflected on May 5th's Hash price. That's shitty. Yeah. We had a good day on May 4th because I'm guessing that all the Star Wars fans minted runes on May 4th. That was a good day for transaction fees as a percentage of block reward. I forgot to type it down, but I think it was 13%.
Okay. On May 4th. May 4th be with you always.
[00:41:25] Unknown:
Do you think that's what it was?
[00:41:26] Unknown:
I'm just guess I it just came it, like, popped into my head. Like, oh, why does May May 5th had really good transaction fees as a percentage of block rewards, and they're, like, they're a day behind. Mhmm. So I had assumed Mhmm. That May 4th, a bunch of Star Wars bullshit got minted. Probably. You're probably right, but you have no proof. No. I have none. Okay. And I'm willing to admit that. Yeah. Let's review how to determine oh, I don't have to do that because I already did it. FPBS hash rate and hash value and hash price, you just need those three things to historically determine how much money you would have how much Bitcoin. And if you had sold the Bitcoin immediately the day that you received it, if you're getting payouts every day. You can just go back in history and verify all that stuff. Super easy. Explained how to do it. Hey. Just wanna let you know if you are a lightning enjoyer, like our friend here in studio, body mcbotface, check out Linqcoin's new terms of service regarding their payouts and explore the changes in their payout methods.
It may be beneficial for you now to take biweekly or monthly payouts given your hash rate. If you don't achieve the minimum hash rate, look into Lightning Payouts even if you are a disrespect tour. Ask Bon. Ask Bon. If you need advice on Lightning, he is emphatic that he likes it a lot, and he might be willing to help you out. But, lightning enjoyer here in studio with us, body McBotface. Hey, buddy. How you doing? Yo yo. My ninjas,
[00:42:55] Unknown:
listen. I heard John trying to rap your in your fountain boost. Not mad. Let me show you boys how it's done. Okay. Drop me a sick beat. Mister Sound Ward. Hello? Mehdi, what the deal?
[00:43:15] Unknown:
Alright, buddy. Hit it.
[00:43:17] Unknown:
Mehdi, I got 2 dobs. 1 for coin, 1 for load. I got 2 parts for hiding and my code. I got 2 roles. 1 for person. 1 for control. Are these grinded in making Bitcoin saving? Bolt. I got 2 asks, Lincoin, and 1 for loan. I got 2 love. 1 I'm am, and 1 my code. I got 2 live. When I hurtle, when I roll, this is Martishi high. At movie make me swell.
[00:43:52] Unknown:
Yeah. Boy.
[00:43:54] Unknown:
That's pretty good, mate, actually.
[00:43:56] Unknown:
I respect that. Yeah. What do you think about body now?
[00:44:00] Unknown:
I'm a respecter. I'm certainly not a disrespecter. You used to be. Always giving that dude a hard time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, sometimes these people grow on you, and I look down like he's a world class rapper straight off the bat. No question. In that. Yeah. Yeah. He's obviously got game because, as we know, his misuses. Oh my god. He knows his shit as well. Sometimes you test him. You better not test him because he's always right. So you start to spend yeah. Pin pound is fucking strong, and you start to spend more time around this guy. You're just like he's kinda, like, low key. I think that's the thing. You kinda easily disrespect him. You could write him off because he's so low key. But, yeah, Bossy, that was sick, mate. I appreciate you. You thought it was all dad jokes?
Mhmm. Jokes on you. Yeah. I I didn't know there was more layers to it, and it seems that it's just it's endless. Can I just say that that our our harem
[00:44:53] Unknown:
of groupies and beautiful women associated with ungovernable misfits is growing? Really? I'd like to point out a a few of them off the top of my head, and maybe you can think of a few more. We've got our, statistics babe, hot. Yes. K. We've got Hashladdet banging.

[00:45:43] Unknown:
it.
[00:45:49] Unknown:
Hey. Exciting news. Bifrost's grand opening is set for September 1st at their facility. They're not they're not, anons. They don't mind being docked, so we're gonna tell you their address. They're at 1213 Ryland Road in Grand Forks, North Dakota. That's right. They're located in Grand Forks, and they're opening a world of innovative solutions and precise creation using CAD software to build custom solutions for your business needs right there in Grand Forks, North Dakota, which is a great place for a place like Bifrost Manufacturing to be given that they're kind of like an avionics and, aerospace hub there in Grand Forks, and they're right in the thick of it. At Bifrost Manufacturing, they offer 3 d scanning and printing, custom fabrication and manufacturing.
They have a team of crack machinists and fabricators trained in various welding, CNC, and machining crafts. You can contact them by visiting their website at Bifrost Manufacturing
[00:46:49] Unknown:
dotcom. Or You didn't mean to do that bit, did you? I thought maybe you'd do it. Yeah. Okay. Bifrost manufacturing.com. Or call them at 218 280-0371 or email at k [email protected]. Do you know what? These adverts have actually worked because I had someone message me 2 days ago, and they want a load of stuff building with these guys. So they said, oh, I need something manufactured. I need something making. I won't docs who it is or what it's for, but something that would be used quite a lot. And, yeah, Would they build it for me? I said, of course, they will. Just reach out, mate. Tell them we sent you. Let them know.
[00:47:38] Unknown:
Use promo code Ungovernable. We don't have a promo code with them, but don't know. We don't. Just they know. Just tell us. Just say Ungovernable Misfits. Yeah. Ungovernable misfits. Misfits are moving the needle in manufacturing. And if you want needles building or making, I'm sure they could make those too. They could probably make them. Yeah. I I imagine so. I imagine so. I don't think they've made any progress on your, human occupied drone. There, I use the woke term, manned drone. That's actually fine. K. That's fine.
[00:48:08] Unknown:
Because Bitcoin hasn't really moved And Yeah. Which is fucking like, every time we record, I'm slightly more poor. So that idea of having one of those built is is such a massive pipe dream that, honestly, they don't need to, they don't need to rush it.
[00:48:26] Unknown:
And because we're so incredibly poor, we ask that you pause right now and stop, drop, and boost. That's right. Do what DMX says. Stop, drop, and boost the show right now. Our boosts are higher than ever, and it is very much appreciated because we pay for editing of this show with the boosts. It's true. And, yeah. We also buy drugs and and get drunk and get prostitutes with the boost money too. But the editor, he gets paid every month.
[00:48:57] Unknown:
The bum bum checks.
[00:49:02] Unknown:
What? Max, our friends over at the Bitcoin Bugle made us a little ad read, Rod Palmer and Dick Greaser. So the show is also sponsored by Ungovernable Misfits. Damn, son. Where'd you find this? Listen up, plebs.
[00:49:21] Unknown:
Are you nonconfident? Are you sick of being spied on? We make it look easy. Cringe listening to PodComp approved podcasts?
[00:49:30] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. If so,
[00:49:32] Unknown:
Ungovertible Misfits has a podcast just for you. Listen to chief misfit, Max, explore ways to regain your freedom, sovereignty, and privacy using bitcoin and open source software with self custody influencer q and a, club miner John, and the rest of the ungovernable crew on Fountain FM, the podcasting 2 point o platform where value for value trumps everything. Become a rebel with a cause. Become ungovernable.
[00:50:08] Unknown:
Self custody influencer really gets me.
[00:50:11] Unknown:
That's a good one.
[00:50:13] Unknown:
Damn, son.
[00:50:15] Unknown:
They're very good. They're very, very good at all this clever AI stuff and ad reads and So if anyone hasn't already checked them out, it's well worth having a listen. And it's nice to have, like, some friends up at the top. You know, we're always up at the top of the charts, aren't we? And it's nice just to have some friends up there with us. It it is nice, and it it looks good too
[00:50:37] Unknown:
Mhmm. For the bugle and on Ungovernal Misfits and even rock paper Bitcoin to be to be up at the top. It does. It does. Well, that was an an ad read for Ungovernal Misfits, but, of course, Ungovernal Misfits is not just a podcast. It is a website where you can purchase clothing and art. And I recently saw that there were 3 pieces of art placed up on ungovernablemisfits.com. Mhmm. The artist is actually shares the same name with you. Yes.
[00:51:06] Unknown:
It's like a very bad shitty nim, isn't it, where I actually tell everyone that it is me? Yeah. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. I don't know what I'm trying to achieve either, but, I finally got some up, and they're currently hanging in my living room. But if anyone would like to support the show and they'd like to buy some, I will package them up nicely. I will send them over to you, and I hope you will enjoy them. The last person who bought some art from me, I sent a video of me packaging paintings up. They bought 2, and I went proper overkill on it, like, fucking seriously overkill on the packaging.
And they sent me a picture of how it arrived. And I'm very, very glad I did go over the top because UPS or whoever I used really, really fucked it up. Like, really fucked it. It was UPS. I'll call them out. So I was thinking, like, oh, well, these people don't really care. Like, if you put fragile on it, they're going to fuck it up even worse, aren't they? So I was like, okay, what I'll do, put the paintings back to back, loads of foam around it. Then I'll build these, like, metal corners that go on with, like, half mil steel, put them on, then I'll strap it, then I'll put a load of foam around it again, then I'll put more steel down all the sides to properly make sure nothing's going to happen, then had it all shrink wrapped, then had it all taped. And I did that, like, 3 or 4 times. So it was, like, unbreakable, you would think. They sent this fucking picture to me, and they're like, I'm so pleased that you went over the top because this Oh, man. Destroyed otherwise.
That's the level of care you'll get. I will go even more over the top this time to make sure that the artwork arrives with you safely.

I'm sort of like a a freelance salesman for for you and Crown Yes. As far as your art and and work is concerned. And I was doing freelance sales the other day with somebody, and he's like, oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I did I ended up talking to Max, and then we discussed that the shipping was gonna be a $1,000,000,000 and it's it's just not practical those. To get this from from the UK. But then you told me the other day that it wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be to get them from the UK to the United States. No. It wasn't as bad. So it ended up being like for 2 and they're big paintings. They're like Yeah. They're big.
[00:53:20] Unknown:
These 2 were a 100 and 10 centimeters by a 110 centimeters, and there was 2 of them. No idea what you're saying. It's like
[00:53:30] Unknown:
They speak Chinese to me. They're not appreciative.
[00:53:32] Unknown:
It's it's a number. They're big. And it was, like, 40 kilo or the 30 kilos after I'd, like, packaged it all. And it was, like Once again,
[00:53:42] Unknown:
you've really pissing me off. What do you want? You want pounds? Free I I want freedom units. That's what I want. Inches and pounds, bro. Okay.
[00:53:50] Unknown:
It is, I don't know what the conversion is. I don't know what the I don't 2.54
[00:53:56] Unknown:
centimeters
[00:53:58] Unknown:
per inch. Okay. Well, you can do the conversion. Anyway, big paintings, weighed a lot, and it was, like, $350. Yes. That's not bad. Both of them, which wasn't too bad. Like, that was actually pretty decent. And it would have been even cheaper if I didn't go so crazy on the packaging, but then they'd have turned up as, like, fucking kindling or something. So to the person
[00:54:17] Unknown:
that spoke to Max before, there you go. 350 to have beautiful artwork in your brand new house or your fancy office. Yes. You know who you are, big boy. Max these three pieces of art. I I I fancy them very much. There's a lot of your art that I fancy that hasn't been released yet, and I'm excited for these 3 to get sold and then 3 more or however more you want to put on the website. It will be a drip feed, I think. And I I may
[00:54:43] Unknown:
like, we'll see. I know there's one you really have your your eye on, so I'm I'm not gonna put that up yet. Maybe if the show grows and Bitcoin really moons, maybe I'll fly over it with it for you. Maybe I won't sell it. We'll see. Oh, man.
[00:54:57] Unknown:
My buddy. Visit Ungovernable Misfits dot com. Click on the art section. Scroll around. There you will see custom prints from mister clown, and you'll see some beautiful custom artwork by Max bit by bit. And maybe, perhaps, other artists will want to list in the gallery. Me too. Because it's not a gay, pretentious gallery where people sit there and stare at the painting and some plastic surgery modeled up bitch that is getting some kind of crazy ass commission. Just memorize whatever goofy ass thing that the person described the painting as. Mhmm. This really describes the artist's inner self and the the struggle that they had as a child dealing with their identity crisis and an abusive parent. You can see it here.
Isn't it just a bunch of shit splattered on canvas?
[00:55:48] Unknown:
Do we just say the same thing? We did. Yeah. It's so true, though. It's so true. And the other thing is, for any of Crown's prints, you don't have to worry about any of that packaging. Literally, it goes in a lovely tube that can't be damaged. It's signed by him. It's numbered by him. It goes out. There's no problems. There's no UPS issues. I don't have to stand around fucking around. So,
[00:56:12] Unknown:
don't worry. If you're worried about that sort of stuff, you can order his prints as well. And as a proud owner of many mister crown prints, they, they do come quickly, and they are packaged just so. And now on to Ungovernable Misfits' action news.

He's been quiet recently. He's
[00:57:07] Unknown:
he's not though. He's not been quiet. He's been working very, very hard in the Bitcoin mining world. You guys just don't know about it. Oh, I know about it.
[00:57:16] Unknown:
Yeah, you know about it. You guys, the listeners, not you Max bit by bit to mine.
[00:57:23] Unknown:
He has been working very hard. I'm very proud of him. I mean, not like he's my son or anything. He's just my best buddy. But he has been working very hard in the bitcoin mining scene.
[00:57:36] Unknown:
I've heard. I've heard he's doing some really good work. And it's been nice as well, because it's been nice and quiet. You know? No drama. Yeah. He hasn't been mouthing off. He's just been doing work that's very good, and everyone's very happy, and no drama and no bullshit. Which is refreshing compared to what we've seen over the last few weeks. I know, dude. Fucking everybody's
[00:57:58] Unknown:
fucking got something up their ass. Bunch of bitches, dude. They're fucking complaining all the fucking time, dude. Burn manor. My burn manor. I just wanna grab him and cuddle him up like a little baby goat. Oh, you you know, he was supposed to donate sats to Ungovern Lisfits for his, last barn jerky sales. So I wonder I wonder what the final numbers are. A lot. I hear he's been doing big, big numbers. He sells it all. He sells out, like, instantly. This guy makes some jerky. You better go and buy it. But he's been so busy with other stuff. And the last bit of jerky he did, he ordered all this, like, grass fed beef Mhmm. Through this, organization. And, it was really, really small, so there wasn't much to share.
Speaking of barn miner, this has nothing to do with him. Up next, we've got a Bitcoin bugle article by our friend Rod Palmer. The CIA changes profile picture to a cat signaling support for op_cat, The Central Intelligence Agency, the civilian foreign intelligence service for the federal government of the United States changes profile picture on x, formerly Twitter, to a picture of a cartoon cat with Bitcoins for eyes. This is seen as a clear nod to the Bitcoin community and a signal that the agency supports the proposal to reactivate the satoshi era opcode, which proponents say will enable covenants and other cool Bitcoin features. The CIA quote, the CIA is one of the most powerful and admirable institutions in the world. Their profile picture is now a cat with Bitcoin eyes, laser eye maskies in full coop. Udi Wertheimer, Mossad agent. The new profile pic is more than a mere aesthetic update. It is the first time the CIA has weighed in publicly on debate over consensus changes to Bitcoin despite being early adopters and users of the protocol. While most observers and Bitcoin analysts were surprised by the very public and very unambiguous move by the CIA, most agreed the government, including intelligence agencies, had a big stake in Bitcoin's future, and they undoubtedly have strong opinions about potential changes to the protocol.
Notably, an hour after the CIA changed its profile picture, data gathered from the way back machine shows the National Security Agency, NSA, changed its profile picture to an AI generated image of a Reuben sandwich that quickly changed it back before the public noticed. What does it mean? For me, it means Reuben sandwiches are delicious. But according to Rob Palmer What is one? What is what is this? What is a what is a Reuben? Yep. A homeboy. You don't know what a Reuben is?
[01:00:29] Unknown:
Nope. A reuben. I knew when you said subway. We have subways here. That's shit. Give me more. Give me more of that sauce.
[01:00:38] Unknown:
No. Not enough. You're not gonna rip me off.
[01:00:44] Unknown:
Is it like a better version of because Subway is like typical American junk. No. A Reuben's not a store. It's a style of sandwich. Oh, okay. Why she is a Reuben sandwich?
[01:00:57] Unknown:
You've never had a Reuben?
[01:00:59] Unknown:
No. I've never had a Reuben. I don't know what a Reuben is. We don't fuck around with Reuben's. We have, like, BLTs here. That's basically what we love of. That's as fancy as you get, a BLT. Pretty much. Yeah.
[01:01:10] Unknown:
Have you ever been to press. Have you ever been to New York? Of course, you've been in New York because you tech to Max, and he's been everywhere.
[01:01:18] Unknown:
No. I actually haven't been to New York. Get out of here. I've never been. Oh. It doesn't it doesn't really it doesn't appeal to me, if I'm honest. I'm just like, it's one of the last places I'd wanna go. Okay. I think if you did go to New York, you would wanna go to this Katz Deli.
[01:01:32] Unknown:
Okay. In in there, they have a Reuben where you can get, slice of marble rye. And then on top of that, you've got 1,000 island dressing. And then you've got some corned beef. Mhmm. And then Swiss cheese. And then sauerkraut. Okay. And then more thousand island dressing, and another piece of marble rye. And it's about 6 inches, 8 inches thick. There's probably a half a pound to 1 pound of corned beef in there, and it's absolutely delicious.
[01:02:05] Unknown:
Yeah. It doesn't sound bad, actually. I'd probably eat that. Get yourself a Reuben. Mhmm. If I ever find myself in New York, I will go and get myself a Reuben. Very well.
[01:02:15] Unknown:
Back to the Bitcoin Bugle article. To put it simply, what does it mean? Not much. It's no secret that the government has been interested in using and holding Bitcoin for over a decade. The US government has a Coinbase account and undoubtedly several hardware wallets like most of us. However, signaling support of op included in the original Bitcoin stack, but which they removed in 2010 because it theoretically allowed users to push an unlimited amount of data to Bitcoin's blockchain in order to DOS the chain. Last year, a proposal to introduce OPCAT as an opcode for transcript and the proposal was just assigned BIP number 347 a few weeks ago.
According to Colin Harper from Hash Rate Index, OPCAT operates by allowing a Bitcoin user to join, aka concatenate in computer science parlance, 2 data points together within a stack and places these values at the top of the stack which makes these values the first items acted on in the event of a transaction. The concatenated values on the stack can ensure that the associated Bitcoin can only be spent if certain conditions are met. What does OPCAT allow? Among other use cases, OPCAT enables covenants and vaults. Proponents say covenants and vaults would improve existing cold storage and custody solutions. Companies like AnchorWatch, which provide insurance on Bitcoin in compliant cold storage wallets, could use vaults to add additional layers of security to customer funds and make their insurance premiums more affordable.
Anchor Watch CEO Rob Hamilton says vaults give Bitcoin gain reactive security, enabling a window prior to final settlement where funds can be reclaimed before they go to their final destination. To sum it all up, opcat will allow the CIA to better protect their money. In the deep state world, agents aren't elected. Different presidents come and go. Their administrators could either be hostile or friendly to Bitcoin and Bitcoiners, opcat, and the features it enables allow the CIA to have an extra layer of protection for their Bitcoin even if the White House steals their hardware wallet. Thank you, Rod Palmer, from the Bitcoin Bugle. Please visit their new website bugledot news to read their other articles and perhaps donate to the cause if you are so inclined.
Who doesn't need your donations? Tell me. Our friend, Altair. That's right. Altair doesn't need your donations. He just wants you to go to his website and look at all of his wares like Bitmain S21s, K Pros, what's miners, m sixties, custom a 120 volt Loki rig builds like the bit chimney and the Urlacker, stickminers from GeckoScience, bitaxe builds, parts, accessories like metered PDUs, power cables, fans, plugs, mining control boards. He just recently had the Epic UMC Mining Control Board on sale. Did you pay attention? Did you snatch one up for a reduced price? Well, if you visited his website often, you would know this. He also has something very exciting, and I think this is one of the most unique things about about Altair and what he does, the s 21. Okay. This is a a a 2 40 power supply on the s 21. Has another version called the t 21. And the t 21 is rated for 280 volt 3 phase.
That's what the t 21 is built for. And if I got that wrong, I'm sorry. I didn't write it down. It's off the top of my head. Get over it. The t 21, can't really be used for home mining because of that particular power supply. And you can't exactly just slap another, power supply on the side of the t 21 because it doesn't exactly line up as far as the bus bars goes. So what Altair has done is done the bench work for you. So you can simply order one of his t 21 transformers, and it is ready to go. Now the advantage of that is that it is, much less in price compared to the s 20 ones. So now the HomeMiner can get that kind of s 21 efficiency for a more reasonable price.
Nice. If you would like to order a t 21 transformer, either in Optimus Prime mode or Megatron mode, or if you can't spell Megaton mode, be sure to visit
[01:06:37] Unknown:
You want me to do this? Altair Tech. You want me to What? You want me to because I cannot remember I cannot remember his website name. Neither can I? Is it Altair Tech? Let's have a look. It's Altertech.io. Yeah. Tech. Let me just double check it so we don't fuck this up. Mhmm. Because we like them. We want people to go and spend money with them because they're very good. Alteretech dot io.
[01:07:05] Unknown:
What's that website again, Max?
[01:07:07] Unknown:
Alteretech.io. Use our code. Ungovernable.
[01:07:16] Unknown:
So many clicks. So much fucking clicking. Is it me clicking, or is it you clicking? It's me clicking, And I hate I hate myself for it. You should do. This has been a bad show for me.
[01:07:29] Unknown:
I'm really unprepared. Don't put don't put yourself down. It's alright.
[01:07:34] Unknown:
Just wanna go off in the woods somewhere. I don't wanna be here. I don't wanna be here anymore. Alright. I'll stick around a little bit longer Okay. Good. To give you, Altair's dope on the Bitcoin mining scene. You don't have much for us. This is the time of year everybody's fucking busy. They got time for all this podcast bullshit, but they want podcast material because they're all busy out there on the tractors and doing chores, and this is when people are listening to podcasts while they're doing all their gardening and work and such. And so we have to take time out of our day and all of our gardening work to give you the info you need to know. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, Max? Mhmm. We're happy to do it sometimes, rarely, not often. I don't know if, Alterra intended for us to share this or not when we asked him what's the dope on the Bitcoin mining scene, but he is working on a new PDU.
[01:08:27] Unknown:
And this will be a Oh, wow. What's a PDU? It's a power supply. Okay. What what's the DU then? Delivery unit, isn't it? Don't ask me questions that I don't have written down here. Well, I just think sometimes someone might listen to this show and they might actually make it this far somehow and they might go, yeah, I don't really know about, like, for example. So PDU is one of the things you're going say, and the other one is API. I listen to people say, oh, API a 1000000000 times a day, and I haven't done for 7 years. I still don't know what the fuck it is. I genuinely don't know what the fuck is an API.
[01:09:05] Unknown:
There. Bam. I put it in. API. What is an API? It's an application program interface. Okay. What is a p u? It's a power distribution unit. You know who would like this conversation is Baseload. Yeah. If he is all if you say if you use an acronym, he'll acronym violation right away. Mhmm. He don't wanna see it. No. I don't wanna see it. No. Making you proud, base load. Alterra's got a new power distribution unit in the works. This would be a small sub 5 pound intelligent power distribution unit that will allow folks to control via an application program interface. There we go. Very good. It's Internet based monitoring, switch level control for under $250.
He's gonna get this built. This guy's a mover and a shaker. He is. He's not just sitting around somewhere in some shack in the middle of nowhere just claiming he's doing stuff and getting mad at everybody.
[01:10:00] Unknown:
He's really getting it done, mover and shaker. Yeah. I'll say this. I have not seen this much moving and shaking since I last went to Hashlutz. Hey, you. Yeah. He's not messing around.
[01:10:13] Unknown:
He's not. Well, mister Altair, I'm very excited to see this new PDU and all that you're working on and, perhaps making it much easier for Bitcoin miners to control their power consumption as opposed to just smart PDUs. And I do hope that he will be working together with Medi at some point to make sure that agent can, log in via API and control these PDUs. Oh, good. So make sure you guys are talking to each other. I respect you both very much, and that that team working together
[01:10:42] Unknown:
can achieve a lot, I think. It's good dudes good dudes working together. It's like the opposite of what's the thing. It's like, what if a unstoppable force hits an immovable object, but it's like the other way around. So both have the positive charge.
[01:10:57] Unknown:
Are you saying like a refrigerator?
[01:11:00] Unknown:
No. Not in any way, shape, or form was I thinking about that at all. I was just thinking Okay. Rather than an unstoppable force hitting an immovable object, if those 2 got together, it'd be like 2 unstoppable forces that join together, and they become, like, super unstoppable. That's what I was calling you. Nothing to do with the fucking fridge. Okay. So how you got to that? Because we often say that Mehdi is a fridge. Oh, Mehdi the fridge. Oh, Mehdi the fridge. Yeah. He is a fridge. Yeah. This is true.
[01:11:32] Unknown:
K. K. It could be like, you know, when you had transformers and some of the transformers like the dino bots. Mhmm. Would you could put the Dyno bots or the, like, the Constructo bots together, and they would make a much larger bot much like Voltron.
[01:11:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:11:49] Unknown:
I think that's what we have going on here. Ungovernable misfits sponsor synergies, and they can get Bifrost manufacturing to to, manufacture it. Mhmm. Yeah. And then they could present this product at Lake Satoshi. Oh,
[01:12:03] Unknown:
yes. Nice transition.
[01:12:06] Unknown:
Boom. Thank you very much. I'm actually not doing the late Satoshi ad read. Okay. We are moving on to Pool transition. Oklahoma bill. Pool transition, you piece of shit. Hey. You know, a lot of these satoshi action fund bills, you know, where they go and they they work with politicians to get something together, And then the state legislature passes it, and everybody gets all excited, but then the feds come in and do whatever the fuck they want to anyhow. Mhmm. Yeah. Well, one of these recently passed, and it it's kinda neat. I like the wording of it, and and it sounds good, and it makes me feel good. Like, somebody actually gives a shit about us and and understands some things. In this Oklahoma bill, it's part a part a.
Am I a fucking lawyer? I don't know. It says it shall be legal in the state of Oklahoma to participate in home digital asset mining as long as the person engaging in home digital asset mining complies with all local noise ordinances. Easy. Thank you very much. That's fine. What was that again? That's fine. I agree. It is fine. And we have provided a lot of content on Ungovernable Misfits' how to home mine quietly. Please review our content back and forth, and you will find all kinds of advice on how to mine quietly at home because it isn't your local noise ordinance that you have to worry about. We all know who you have to worry about.
[01:13:24] Unknown:
Sarah? Sarah.
[01:13:25] Unknown:
Yeah. And as Max described early in the episode, she is scary.
[01:13:31] Unknown:
So she's scary. She is mean. Shh.
[01:13:36] Unknown:
And if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. On to this Oklahoma bill. It shall be legal in the state of Oklahoma to have a digital asset mining business in any area that is in zone for industrial use, which is great because sometimes you can find these commercial use properties that used to be industrial or vice versa, and it's pretty easy in some locales to get that zoning changed. A political subdivision shall place no specific limit on sound decibels generated from a digital asset mining business other than the limits they set for sound pollution which apply to industrial zone areas in general. This applies to I don't know if you remember our well, of course, you do. You remember things. Our episode with Jason Vaughn, he was one of our plebminers in the wild, and he also participated in our original plebminer month. Jason Vaughn was up in Montana, and the local I think it was Bozeman, maybe. I don't don't quote me on that one. He was up in Montana, and the local council was like, nope. It's too loud. And he's like, well, we are abiding by the general noise ordinances, and we're like, but we don't like this particular sound, so we are applying it specifically to you. Mhmm. Well, in the state of Oklahoma, that does that does prevent them from local town councils specifically targeting you. So that's not a fed thing. You know, when we're so miserable and pessimistic about everything, I mean, like, I don't need penis daughter getting out there and lobbying for me in front of the government. Fuck them, motherfuckers. Alright. Well, this is a particular instance where this doesn't have anything to do with the feds. It just has to do with your local Karen Council not shutting you down because of noise ordinances that they made up. Karen Council. A lot. Yeah.
They'll say a political subdivision shall not be able to impose any other requirements on a digital asset mining business that is also not a requirement for data centers in its area of jurisdiction. So once again, if you run a data center or a Bitcoin mine, they have to treat you the same. A political subdivision shall not be able to change the zoning of a digital asset mining business without going through the proper notice and comment. Until they can. Until they can. Right. A digital asset mining business shall be able to appeal a change in zoning to the proper court of jurisdiction. A judge shall reject such a change in zoning if it was done to discriminate against the digital asset mining business. Pricest.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission shall not establish a rate schedule for digital asset mining that creates discriminatory rates for digital asset mining businesses. Very, very good. So that's a that seems to me to be a PUC thing. Say that the PUC can't have a different rate class, and, we'll get maybe we'll get baseloads take on that on on rate classifications because that is definitely his area of expertise. Different rate classifications for Bitcoin miners. The node runners will like this side of things with this Oklahoma bill. Anyone engaged in home digital asset mining or digital asset mining business, staking, or staking as a service shall not be required to obtain a money transmitter license. It shall be legal in the state of Oklahoma to operate a node for the purpose of connecting to a blockchain protocol or a protocol built on top of a blockchain protocol and transferring digital assets on a blockchain protocol or to participate in staking on a blockchain protocol. That's faggot staking shit.
Operating a node or series of nodes on a blockchain protocol shall not require an individual or a business to obtain a money transmitter license.
[01:16:54] Unknown:
Wow. For now.
[01:16:57] Unknown:
Hey. Be so pessimistic. Celebrate a small victory and then continue the fight 2 minutes from now. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, anyone engaged in digital asset mining, operating a node, or series of nodes on a blockchain network, or providing digital asset mining Or staking. As a service for individuals or other businesses shall not face liability related to a specific transaction merely by validating the transaction.
[01:17:22] Unknown:
Okay. There were words. There were words on a page. I can never ever have any excitement for any of this shit. And I try. I really do. And I've read through this before we started, and just I just feel flat. Flat. Completely flat. There's there's no joy. There's no despair. There's nothing. It's just words.
[01:17:44] Unknown:
Alright, buddy.
[01:17:45] Unknown:
What about you? You hyped? You're fucking hyped.
[01:17:52] Unknown:
Damn, son. Where'd you find this? That's quite good at shit. Oklahoma. I like the noise ordinance thing. Okay. I like I like the the the the different not having a different rate schedule or discriminatory rate schedule for Bitcoin miners. Mhmm. Yeah. We recently met with the utility, my team. Do you know who's on that team? I know. It's special. And they were very excited to talk to us once we mentioned Bitcoin mining. They're like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Let's let's talk. Here's here's gonna be our tariff for you at, you know, 5 MEG or above.
Not everybody's like that, though. Mhmm.
[01:18:31] Unknown:
It's not racist. It's not a racist bill. Exactly. I and I think, you know, you just look how the times change over the years. You know? You go back Mhmm. 50, 60 years, things were very racist. And at the moment, I think a lot of people are still extremely racist and sexist when it comes to Bitcoin mining, and it's changing slowly. Slowly but surely, it's changing. We just gotta guide it in the right way that it isn't some sort of, like, liberal, we're not actually racist or sexist, but we are gonna enslave you kind of shit. Like, sneaky do you know what I mean? Like like a sneaky oh, sign this bill. We're really happy and nice, and we got blue hair. Oh, we love you. We're not racist.
Cage.
[01:19:14] Unknown:
Mhmm. Please loves me, daddy government.
[01:19:19] Unknown:
But, yes, it's good. It's good.
[01:19:21] Unknown:
Next up on the action news agenda, Another fucking sorry. Sorry, kids. Another fucking scam in mining Telegram groups. Another one. This is almost the same as the the last scam. It's not fine.
[01:19:41] Unknown:
That's not fine. That's not fine. Yeah. I couldn't believe it when I saw that. I just first thing I saw in the morning first thing I generally do is open our Telegram groups and our little uncomfortable groups, the first thing I look at. Mhmm. And I was just like, are you fucking joking? Mhmm. And then the rest of the day unraveled and yeah. What a nightmare. So can we give any advice? Well, I'm sure we'll cover what happened, but can we also Yeah. Let me break it down real quick. I'm not going to mention any names again,
[01:20:14] Unknown:
as we did with the last story. And I think I oh, I did mention some names, but only because they were very, very public about it. Mhmm. Because that particular instance, the person who was socially engineered and duped to being an active an active participant in the scam deeply regretted it. It hurt him personally. He was very upset. This is a man of integrity who I appreciate and like very much and have known for, as far as Bitcoin time, a very long time. Mhmm. And he took full accountability. He even tried to compensate.
What's the word that that they use? Reparations. Mhmm. Even tried to give it a rep reparations to the victim of the scam and then got out publicly and and told about the scam and how it happened as as a lesson to others not to let this happen to you. This other person that did almost the exact same thing, which was, hey. Some scammer contact you. Hey. I got a PDU or something, You know, really cheap and closing down my mind. You know, the having was a little bit too much. But I think you're special, you know, and I wanna give you this very special rate on the PDU. Oh, oh, I bought a PDU from you. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, that cost me a whole $200 in this guy. So he runs a scam with just a PDU. It's kind of freaking genius. And he's like, actually, you know what? I've got a whole bunch of minors. I just really gotta get rid of them, bro.
[01:21:33] Unknown:
You know, for you want the market rate for them. Because why would you want the market rate?
[01:21:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Right. You're cool. I just gotta get out of this mine. Landlord. You know what I mean, man? So what I need you to do I mean, you seem like you're pretty important in mining. Right? You wanna feel important. You're part of these Telegram groups. Would you would you be able to share this this special deal with other people? Oh, yes. I really want to be liked in all these mining groups. I'd be more than happy to share this deal. Recently, people were mean to me, and I think this could be a way that I can ingratiate myself to them. I'm gonna post this deal in all kinds of different Telegram groups, and I bought a PDU from because I'm a big time miner like, you know, like you are. And, I want you to be part of this deal too. Come into Telegram groups. Now now listen, On my side of things, it wasn't really paying attention to to our Telegram group during this time.
[01:22:25] Unknown:
It was a week job. Not your I know. Before you've I know. Not your job. You have to fucking protect these people. They're adult human beings. They can realize sometimes if things are too good to be true, they're too good to be true. Alright? So just fucking be careful.
[01:22:42] Unknown:
Very well then. But what the the advantage of this particular scam is you're going into Telegram groups. You now have clout just because you're in that Telegram group. This is true. And so people's guards are down. Same advice we gave. Please go back and listen to that episode. Mhmm. We're saying the same things. You still have to do your own research. Yeah. Anyone who actually was in that group the first time the scam happened,
[01:23:05] Unknown:
anyone who actually listened to our episode, we did, like, a 10 minute rant and proper guidance on how not to get fucked. And anyone who listened didn't get fucked. And anyone who didn't listen, they did get fucked. And so that makes us feel sad. We're gonna go through it again. Hopefully, they listen this time. Hopefully, people don't get scammed again. Yeah.
[01:23:30] Unknown:
So this happened across, our Telegram group, and, this was also posted in in Home Mining Wizards, which is a public group. So I think anybody in in these public groups should be a little bit more on their guard. The people in our group were off of their guard because it's, everybody assumes that I had somehow vetted everybody in the group. Sometimes it's just like, hey. I know this guy. It looks like he's doing something cool in mining, and then I go, hey. Do you wanna come in the group? And then that's about extent of my vetting process. Mhmm. We want to leave Chet made a really good point in in home mining wizards the other day. So if you're in that Telegram Gukka and and and look this up, he's like, we can't close ourselves off to everybody.
We can't, like, let let these scams completely make us jaded. I I get it. It it was a really good point, and and, I'm torn in in both directions. But in in general, I'm pissed. I'm pissed that it happened again. I'm pissed that, some people didn't listen to our show. I'm pissed off that 2 I and I and one of these guys I I know pretty well, 2 people got ripped off. These are good fucking people, and they got ripped off. And now now their mining operations are set back
[01:24:36] Unknown:
because of this. Yeah. It's not good.
[01:24:39] Unknown:
To the guy that that was a a a goony and a stooge in this scam, grow the fuck up. You didn't find a special deal, bro. You're not fucking special. Miners cost what they cost. In general, various miner dealers aren't far off from each other. On this show, we've only ever recommended 2 organizations to buy minors from. And if you deal with them, you can probably get what you want at a pretty good price.
[01:25:15] Unknown:
Compass. No. No one no one take that seriously. Please do not ever fucking ever do that. Don't go to Compass. Go to Altair.
[01:25:24] Unknown:
Or and I'll and I'll throw this in there even though not a sponsor, but Mhmm. A very good man, Kaboomrax Alex. Yes. You got some if Altair and and Altair doesn't deal in used machines, so you're you're just not going to you know, the Altair told me that this guy even approached him like, oh, I got these machines. He's like, dude, I don't I don't fuck with all that stuff. I ain't got time for that. I got bench work to do. I got new things to create. I'm not dealing in used machines. But Kaboomax, Alex, does deal in used machines. And if there's a scam, then they eat it.
You the customer doesn't eat it. Mhmm. They do. You want mining gear? It's Altair or it's Kaboomrax, Alex. And and don't don't think you're some kind of cool bro that's got a great lead on a fucking deal. You don't. No. People don't sell things at under market value generally when they know they can sell it because why would you? And
[01:26:13] Unknown:
it's not worth the risk. Like, if you're get if you're getting something and it's, you know, a little bit cheaper and you're thinking, oh, I'm gonna risk this, and I don't know them and I can send them Bitcoin and they might not send it back. And what if it's damaged? What if it does arrive and it's damaged? Or what if a brick comes? Or what if nothing comes? Mhmm. It's like, do you really need that sort of stress in your life? Like, is it not better to just be like, do you know what? I'm just gonna pay and go through somebody who I know can be trusted. And if there's any problems with it, I get my money back, and they don't fuck me around, and it arrives in time, you know, rather than not at all. Mhmm.
I don't know. It just feels like you don't need that sort of stress in your life for to save a few quid. And if you're saving more than a few quid a quid, by the way, for you Americans. It's like a dollar. It's like what we have here. It's just like slightly shitter money than the dollar. You want like 9 quid? Not not for ice creams with a gum. Yeah. If it's if it's more than £9 saving, then you're probably getting scammed. So in that case, if you want to take the risk, then at least go and physically drive somewhere and physically pick something up so that you can't get fucked over. Like, don't just send don't just send money that can't can't get back and hope that someone who you don't know and you don't have their identity is gonna actually send you some some mining gear. Please don't do it. It's it's horrible to see and especially within our own groups. Even if it's a long drive.
[01:27:45] Unknown:
Yep. Like someone we know who drives, very long distances, our good friend, Bubba Mhmm. Who I spoke to last week. He called me, and he's like, hey, John. I I wanna do something special for Lake Satoshi. I'm starting a new job, and I I can't get out there to Lake Satoshi, and and and, I wanna give away some tickets on on you guys' show. He's such a nice guy. He is a very nice man. And, we had talked for a a long time about all all kinds of different topics. He's just great to talk to on the phone. I couldn't come up with anything, so I asked, Lake Satoshi Ben what he would like to do for this because he's, even though he's a greasy ilk, he's a very creative young man.
So he he took some time to consider, and he got back. And he said, how about this? How about on the show, you guys announce the giveaway? And I'm announcing it right now. We're giving away through Bubba 2 tickets to Lake Satoshi, the Bitcoin Beach Retreat, August 10th. So that August 10th is a Saturday. Be be, you know, if you'd like to show up on 9th, stay the 9th, 10th, and leave, Sunday morning on 11th, you are more than welcome to. I that's what I will be doing. But the Lake's Toshi event is technically on August 10th. He's giving away 2 of those tickets. And what we're going to do is we would like you to guess how many miles on the road Bubba has driven his big rig with he and his lady for this week.
Oh, in how many miles has Bubba driven? Yeah.
[01:29:13] Unknown:
In one week. Can I enter it, but if I win, give my tickets to someone else?
[01:29:20] Unknown:
Sure. I'll allow.
[01:29:22] Unknown:
Okay. I think he's done 2,100 miles.
[01:29:29] Unknown:
Okay. Very well. I I won't venture a guess, but I I was gonna be in the twos. But I I I shouldn't even say that because, some somebody might wanna do some research. They might want to, check out Bubba's Twitter, you know, and see, okay. I see sort of in the desert here and get get an idea. Maybe there's some some interesting clues and hints there. Mhmm. You've got an idea. Differently out there.
[01:29:57] Unknown:
Well, yeah, they're different to what we have of not like you and lorries. Our lorries are very different.
[01:30:03] Unknown:
Well, they're they're gay. Like, all European stuff.
[01:30:06] Unknown:
Alright, fine. Whatever. Fuck's sake.
[01:30:10] Unknown:
What did you want me to say, buddy? That's exactly what I wanted you to say. Yeah. You knew you knew that's what I was gonna say. I, myself, am very excited, although sad not to see Bubba, on on the Bitcoin Beach Retreat, August 10th. We're gonna see a lot of people and people that I have wanted to meet and spend time with for a long time. The amount of people that are coming to Lake Satoshi that that have said that have said they're coming is much greater than last year when we were promoting this this event. Okay. I'm super excited. I think what what I'll do is is, why don't I have some Ungovernable Misfits clothing there to shield myself?
[01:30:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Nice idea. Maybe some artwork. I think I can do that. But only only cram stuff because mine's too bulky. Yeah.
[01:30:56] Unknown:
Bulking.
[01:30:57] Unknown:
Nice clothing. Bulking? I'm, still not doing any bulking for anyone who gives a fuck. FFC? Still not happening. They're still in that FFC mode. Mhmm. Yeah. It will come. It will happen. It will come. In time, it will come. I believe in you.
[01:31:14] Unknown:
Well, that's it for our own Gobble of Misfits action news. Sorry. We we we yeah. That's all I got. That's a whole lot. We're done.
[01:31:21] Unknown:
We're done. My. Just talking about FFC. Oh, you. Go
[01:31:30] Unknown:
on. You were saying, Max, we can still talk. We can still talk. We've got a whole another we've got a whole another no. The show just on action news. Just the action news segment is finished. I got a whole another piece.
[01:31:41] Unknown:
My little one has been fucking rinsing me every day. He's got this new thing every single day. He goes, daddy, big belly, daddy, belly, big, big, big belly, and then, like, flicks where my nipples are. And it goes, peebies. Bee bees, daddy, pee bees. Like that. So if I didn't have yeah, it's like every fucking day, I'm getting really close to either having a complete mental breakdown or just getting my ass in the gym despite it meaning that I'll definitely get injured because I'm too tired. But it's getting to that point because he's rinsing me so hard that I'm just like, fuck you, little prick. I'm not having any more of this. Get strong. Yeah. Get the belly gone. Here you go. I like it. Daddy, big belly. Big belly. Beepies. Beepies. Fucking no prick.
[01:32:35] Unknown:
I was gonna say, you said rinsing, and I've never heard this term before. And we we were in our our our Ungevable Misfits chat Mhmm. And I said dogging. Like, I hadn't I wasn't dogging you. And so dog dogging and rinsing are are, you know, equal there. And you you said something to q and a, like, tell him what dogging is. You know?
[01:32:55] Unknown:
I said, I don't think you get up. Yeah. Rinsing would be like what you call dogging over there is like attacking someone, like having a go at someone. Here, it'd be like, oh, yeah. You're rinsing them. There's other things we say as well, but that would be 1. Dogging here has a very, very different meaning. Dogging over here, you'll generally find on in, like, lay bys or in, like, public parking areas. And there'll be sort of like some wildebeest looking bird with, like, 5 blokes hanging out the back of her and people filming and just like a gang bang in, like, a shitty old car in a car park with a lot of people watching. Often truckers, although we have anything against truckers, Bubba, but it's often truckers.
[01:33:40] Unknown:
Here, we call them a lot lizards.
[01:33:42] Unknown:
Oh, really? That's quite good. I like lot lizards.
[01:33:45] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:33:47] Unknown:
Lot lizards.
[01:33:49] Unknown:
I like that. I might actually take that and use that here. There you go. A little bit of America in your day. Yeah. But here we call it dog. Lizards at the rest stop.
[01:33:58] Unknown:
Yeah. Very good. This is an educational show. People learn so much.
[01:34:03] Unknown:
Oh my god. Kid friendly. Yes. Sorry, kids. My last bit on action news has nothing to do with Bitcoin mining. It's a little piece that I wrote called don't be a pig. 1993, a year packed with significant global events for me. I was in the middle of high school. I bought a 1972 Mercury Montego GT Fastback with a 351 CJ. It looked just like the Gran Torino from Starsky and Hutch. So cool. So I'm sure you're familiar with the the Starsky and Hutch movie Yes. With Ben Stiller and and, I am familiar. Owen Wilson Yeah. Luke Wilson. I don't know which one, the Wilson Brothers. It looked just like that. It was maroon. Very cool. On the back window, you know, this is a 2 door, and so it had that little back window that was like a triangle that you could also roll down. Mhmm. It had written in red nail polish, Susie q.
Somebody had named that car Susie q. And you kept it? I went with it. I kept the Susie q part. Yeah. I I didn't I didn't scratch it off. That car end up getting stolen out of my mother's front yard, by the way, and I I miss it very much. I miss that car very much. 1993, the 1972 Mercury Montego GT Fastback. Back then, I thought I was going to be a chef Okay. Where I grew up with in Florida. I cooked in very busy
[01:35:34] Unknown:
Yeah. Can you still cook? Good. Very fast. I can still cook. Yeah. Pretty far. I don't care about fast. I'm not fucking going for a McDonald's. In in in the restaurants of Florida during tour season. It's a whole another mindset. You got to get the fucking cut out. You got to get it out. But are you good? Like, if I came to obviously, you're coming to ours, you're going to have roast lamb, and it's going to be phenomenal. You'll go, I can't believe I live without this for such a long time. You're a phenomenal chef, Max. You're so talented in so many ways. This is just delicious. If I went to yours,
[01:36:06] Unknown:
how much fucking hand holding do you need?
[01:36:10] Unknown:
It's okay because I'm saying it to myself. Is it like self actualization? Or what is it where people look in the mirror and they're like, you're enough. It's not you. It's it's them. It's everyone else. That kind of stuff. I'm smart enough.
[01:36:26] Unknown:
And gosh, John, if people like me, Yeah. Love yourself.
[01:36:30] Unknown:
Yeah. We don't really do that in England very much. So just sometimes I'll just, like, really imagine
[01:36:36] Unknown:
That was that. If I went to yours, would I be impressed? Would I go, wow. Actually, this is fucking what would be your signature dish? What would we? Oh, that's a great you know, because so many years, Sarah has taken over the cooking, and and she's so very good at everything. Mhmm. Makes the best spaghetti sauce, you know, for for a a a hunky you know, half hunky, half English white girl Mhmm. She can make some some meat meatballs. She make it a spicy meatball.
[01:37:04] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:37:06] Unknown:
Stuffed peppers is good. Her chicken noodle soup is so good. All Sarah's stuff is is straight banging. What is my specialty? I'm very good at cooking a steak. Oh, come on. Very good. Yeah, man.
[01:37:19] Unknown:
But that's an that's a that's an easy one. Oh, so you Although, Ashley you want me to say, like, oh, a a a a London broil, or you want some kind of dish. No. That's fine. I'll be very happy with the steak. I just I was expecting, like, as a chef, like, you might say more than that. I'm very good at cooking your steaks. Like, I'm very good at getting a grill up to the right fucking temperature, having a steak seasoned, and then putting it down. And then Me too. Actually, I was quite impressed with you were sending me pictures of your lunch the other day from your van and the fact that you had, like, a full setup in there, and you're actually just cooking a steak in your van. I was like, I like that. That I was impressed with that. So That's right. I cook a steak and eggs in the van.
That is good. I like that.
[01:38:05] Unknown:
Can we get back to this article I wrote?
[01:38:07] Unknown:
Sure.
[01:38:08] Unknown:
16 year olds don't tend to pay particular attention to national and global politics. The big stories of the year 1993 let's see if you know some of these, Max. Waco. Nope. Oh, it's a good special on Netflix. You should watch it. It'll piss you off. The first I know. I went to The First World Trade Center bombing. Did you know about that one? Nope. A guy drove, like, a U Haul truck into the parking garage of the World Trade Center. They were trying to soften us up for the for the real deal for 911. They're trying to get you used to it. Yeah. Okay. 1st World Trade debacle in 1993. The establishment of the European Union, maybe people remember that. Ish. The EU? Yep. It didn't use to exist. You guys all used to be separate countries. Still are, mate. Yeah. Yeah. Where you could represent yourselves and and, you get to decide at a more local level
[01:38:54] Unknown:
than everything coming from. You know what? The, the Europeans have got, like, really RC with the British about that. Like, hey. Nothing. They're all, like, quite sad about it. So now, yeah, now when we turn up to any of their airports, we've got to go in a separate line. Oh, that's kind of cool. It's proper it's proper races, though. It's like they have their fast EU stuff. It's like everyone can go through here, and then you got this slow, comfy, non EU section. So you've got to, like, you've got to go all slowly and they, like, question you a bit harder and, like, why are you coming here? How long are you gonna be staying? Who are you staying with? What's the purpose of your visit? Like, all that sort of stuff you'd get in America.
[01:39:34] Unknown:
So, yeah, they hate us, it seems. Oh, what a bunch of cunts. Yeah. How about the time for the cruise?
[01:39:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Sorry, kids.
[01:39:41] Unknown:
How about this? I don't even know if you know this one. NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Nope. That was a big one. Like, stuff used to be made in the United States. A lot of people don't know this, but after NAFTA made some good stuff. After Bill Clinton's son, they have to. Not anymore. Back down to Mexico. How about the killing of Pablo Escobar? 1993.
[01:40:03] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:40:04] Unknown:
Alright. So you know that. And if you ever wanna use a another one for you when you're waiting on someone, I think the Pablo Escobar one is the best. It's probably the best one. Yeah. No. I like the mister Bean one as well. Oh, definitely. That's a good one. He's got his little He's like waiting in the field, looking at his Yeah. Yeah. It's quite nice. How about the Oslo Accords?
[01:40:22] Unknown:
Mhmm. Don't do too much, though.
[01:40:25] Unknown:
Alright. That was some that was some Jew Palestinian drama. Okay. How does it work with those guys? Downing Street drama. Kiss and make up. They do. Get over it. Boys beefs. The Downing Street declaration. Again, don't know. Alright. That was that was some Northern Ireland stuff. I was hoping you'd know that. It's it's British drama. British Irish drama. Oslo Accords, Jew Palestinian drama. Mhmm. And 1993 was the year that the world wide web really started to become more widely used. So 1993 could be the 1st year this 16 year old pervert waited for a booby pick to download line Okay. By line by line by line. I wasn't even born. What's that? I wasn't even born.
He's sad. Sad little boy. Yeah. Little child. Only in your early twenties. Young and vibrant. Mhmm. As a kid, I suppose I understood that these things were happening and the events were happening around me. I was a smart kid, I think. So didn't I know? Despite the gravity of these world changing events, it's the scandals and gossip that tend to dominate in my memory, at least. Think about it if you're old enough. Do these things that we talked about previously dominate your memory? Shall we review the salacious stories of the time? Michael Jackson had sexual molestation with children, allegations cast against him. And that's the famous video where he said, I've never hurt a child.
[01:41:45] Unknown:
Never. Yee hee. Oh, very good. Got to beat that.
[01:41:53] Unknown:
The stabbing of tennis star, Monica Seles. That was a big deal. The feud between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. And then later on that next year, Nancy Kerrigan getting attacked by Tonya Harding's boyfriend, Jeff Gillooly. Hey. Did you hear Tonya Harding's boyfriend, Jeff Gillooly, bust up Nancy Kerrigan's ankle with a wrench? Jeff Gillooly? Oh, I saw that film, actually. Yeah. Well, you know about that. But you didn't. It wasn't Boswell, of course, were. I'm sorry. I don't know. This was a thing from back then, and I remembered Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold were getting a divorce. Don't even know who they are. I don't remember that one. Okay. Alright, Max. You are familiar with the Spice Girls? Very. Okay. Well, that's that's the year that they came out. I didn't know they were gay.
[01:42:39] Unknown:
It's so tiresome.
[01:42:41] Unknown:
Now bring up 1993, not only because it was a formative year in my life, but an image from that time is imprinted on my brain, Bat Boy. He was on the cover of Weekly World News in the early nineties. If you don't know who Bat Boy is, this is a a 19 nineties photoshopped tabloid cover of a child with these huge, giant eyes and sharp teeth and pointy bat ears. And apparently, they found him in a cave in West Virginia of all places. In West Virginia, Mount mama origin story. Yeah. I am bat boy. In 1993, they finally caught the little bastard as he was stranded on a roof of a house during a Mississippi flood. The FBI got him, but the Weekly World News was adding a little bit of X Files flavor for us because X Files was popular at the time. These stories were splashed across tabloids and TV screens. They captured Dormie's attentions in ways that drive political trees and economic policies simply couldn't and can't as I don't think we're wired that way.
Perhaps our wiring has been rearranged by numerous psyops, but I imagine we've always been this way. Who cares? The Normans are coming across the English Channel. I'm more concerned with whether Prince Humperdinck was humping Princess Buttercup. The psychology behind this is fascinating to me, at least. People are inherently drawn to narratives that are relatable, sensational, and evoke strong emotions, especially sexually charged ones. Like pigs, our baser instincts are to eat, sleep, and screw, and so perhaps those areas of our brain are easily stimulated. The image of bat boy splashed across the cover of weekly world news is permanently imprinted on my mind far more than the collectivization and elimination of individual country's sovereignty in Europe's new European Union.
A few weeks ago, on our various Bitcoin socials, everyone was obsessed with 1 of the PodConf approved douchebag think boys posting contrived photos of he and his prostitute eating pizza on Bitcoin pizza day. Well, as always, let the memeing begin. It's just another day on Twitter. But is it, and should it be? As every ungovernable misfit knows, samurai wallet and t. Dev have been wrongfully arrested and are locked in a cage. So many incredible privacy defenders have been doing their level best to bring focus to the samurai case. Among them, a good friend of the show, BC 1984 Adam, for 1, has been on a quest to get the attention of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who have been fighting for free speech and digital rights as well as fighting the digital ver surveillance state since the early nineties.
As a matter of fact, you see how this theme is coming together here, Max? It's beautiful, mate. You've done such a nice job with this. Thank you. Adam posted a tweet to get the attention of the EFF, adding everyone involved in the organization, sending good old fashioned emails, and it worked. He got an acknowledgment email from them, an acknowledgment email. Go to bc 1984 Adams page and read the acknowledgment email. Anyway, it's still a small step towards getting more eyes on their case. At the same time, he was getting the e f's EFF's attention. He was raising awareness of the p two p rights fund.
The peer to peer Rights Fund recognizes that there has been a shift in US regulatory perspective, treating developers of noncustodial Bitcoin tools as financial institutions, which could threaten the entire Bitcoin ecosystem, so they say. This regulatory stance misunderstands the technology that is Bitcoin, and it will impose undue regulations on various noncustodial tools and criminalize noncriminal noncriminal activity as well as make criminals of coders who are simply creating privacy tools. Please consider look it up. Please consider donating to p2prights.org.
That's p2prights.org. Consider this. Every time you get caught up in some fun Twitter drama or insignificant nitpicking spat with another pleb, that your time, energy, and attention are focused on batboy and not NAFTA. You think saying Jeff Gillooly is a lot more fun than saying Yasser Arafat. Okay. Well, they're both very fun to say, but you should be thinking more about Yasser Arafat than Jif Guludi. But it takes away your focus from more important happenings, like what is happening to samurai right now. People consume scandal like pigs at the trough, greedily gobbling up every juicy morsel of gossip and scandal.
They plunged their snouts into the slop, oblivious to the muck splattering around them. Driven by an insatiable frenzied and almost grotesque hunger for more. Bitcoiners appear to be no better than the gen pop, wallowing in sensationalism and ignoring the most substantial, albeit less pornographic events unfolding around them, like privacy and free speech under attack. You know the names, and you know their purpose. Divisionary tactics, infotainment, taploidization, spin, misdirection, yellow journalism, clickbait, misinformation, disinformation.
Bread and circuses. Always has been. Don't be a blind consumer, unaware of the world beyond your pen, beyond the trough you're likely holding in your hand right now. Don't be distracted by Bat Boy, and don't be a pig. Thank you for listening to this episode on the government's footsteps action news. It's been a good one, Max.

No. No. I was saving for the show, mate. I'm good.
[00:00:26] Unknown:
It does make me feel better. Ungovernable misfits action news will make you feel better. Welcome to it, Max. Ungovernal misfits action news episode
[00:00:37] Unknown:
5. That just went mental on the soundboard. We're gonna have to clean that up, mate.
[00:00:42] Unknown:
Yeah. That's alright.
[00:00:45] Unknown:
The soundboard lost its fucking mind. Got overexcited.
[00:00:49] Unknown:
It's been a month. I can't wait for this. The soundboard doesn't feel better, but we do. Yeah. We do. How are you, my friend? Never better. I I feel awesome. I'm just having another coffee now. I bought the wrong fucking beans. This is first world problems, but I bought Yeah. Non ground beans, and then I couldn't find my coffee grinder. I then put all the beans into a plastic bag, just beat the shit out of them with a big spoon. So they're just sort of like gritty, grainy, sort of like core bits here and there. It's not like properly ground, shove them in. So that's the only downside of my life at the moment. Everything else is perfect. And then I'm speaking to you, which is just even better, mate. So how about you? I just wanna say before I talk about myself, the boostograms
[00:01:34] Unknown:
for this, like, pay attention to this Linkin Park rules. Does he want to be called Linkin Park rules? I mean, everybody knows his name is Jordan. He's got it on Twitter. I don't wanna call him Linkin Park rules anymore. Hey, Jordan. I do. Good. You do that, and I'll do what I wanna do. Okay. Jordan, pay attention to the boosters right now because all the coffee bros are losing their fucking minds about Max not having a q 75 Sumitomo coffee grinder. Fundamentals is gonna freak out. Otis Bittmeyer, who makes fantastic coffee from what I understand, is going to give you some suggestions. He probably won't freak out like a coffee bro like Fundamentals will. And then I recently saw expatriotic who posts some coffee stuff. You know, all these guys got these little, like, hand grinders in this pour over thing, and they have all these names for all these different parts. Yep. I mean, I like it. It's cool with me. I I just there's no way I can introduce something else into my life where I have to be anal about enough anal. Got enough anal going. Exactly. I was just about to say. Damn it. I hate when we do the same jokes. That's proper dad joke there. I mean, they might cry about this, but it's not something that I did
[00:02:40] Unknown:
on purpose. I just fucked up. I just ordered the wrong coffee, made a mistake, and then I thought, I can't be bothered to try and dig through the garage, try and find my grinder. Doesn't matter enough. Just beat the shit out of the beans with a spoon and do a very average job, and I'm sure it'll still be fine. So I'm sure some caffeine will still enter my system and keep me going, so it's fine. That's kind of a very English thing to say was beat the shit out of my beans with a spoon. That's why they call them bangers Yeah. And mash. Mhmm. Have you ever had bangers and mash? Do you have that out there?
[00:03:16] Unknown:
Isn't it just like beanies and weenies? This is beans and hot dogs? No. That's what we would call beanies and weenies. No. Bangers and mash is like sausages
[00:03:27] Unknown:
with, like, mashed potato, and then you'd normally have, like, onion gravy with it or whatever. What? Mint sauce. Onion gravy. No. No. No. No. You'd have mint sauce as a lamb. Thinking of things that you say all the time. Yeah. Like, mint sauce, onion gravy. Say to you once about, like, having roast lamb and mint sauce, and you were like, I've never had roast lamb. Was that you? Did say that. That was me. Yeah. You were really fucked up. Eat it 4 or 5 times a week. I don't eat it 4 or 5 times a day. So, like, a rare if I have the money and it's a nice sundae and I have a bit of time, I'd make a nice roast lamb for the family and, like, do it properly. And then you have some mint sauce. Some people have mint jelly, but I'd have mint sauce normally. I prefer it. It's It's more like vinegary. But the fact that you've never tried it makes me quite sad. Oh, I don't wanna make you sad.
[00:04:17] Unknown:
Sarah, dear, put that on a shopping list.
[00:04:20] Unknown:
No. I'll cook it for you. Okay. You can all come over, and I'll do, like, a proper British roast lamb. We'll do it properly. It'd be nice.
[00:04:28] Unknown:
Wonderful. Thank you for the invitation. That's okay. You asked how I was doing. I did. I'm doing well. Know that I care anymore. It's been too long. The audience cares. So you can, hit your mute button and You can shut the fuck up and all that. The space for all I care. How are you, John? I'm well. I'm tired because summer wears me out. Mhmm. Because we don't seem to sleep. Oh. Gardening, playing outside.
[00:04:53] Unknown:
Mhmm. We,
[00:04:56] Unknown:
number 1 child and I are obsessed with pickleball. What the This is the new lazy American sport. We're too fat to play tennis. Mhmm. So everybody plays pickleball now.
[00:05:06] Unknown:
What is that? It's like,
[00:05:09] Unknown:
tennis and ping pong mixed together. In what sense? Like, you've got a tennis racket, a ping pong ball, or you got a tennis You got a, you got, like, a ping pong paddle, and you have a wiffle ball. I don't know if you're gonna know what a wiffle ball is, but it is a plastic ball about the size of a baseball with with holes in it, and it's hollow in the center. Mhmm. So you can you can whack the crap out of that thing, and it doesn't go particularly far. And you play on a about a half a tennis court sized court. Okay. Similar rules to tennis, but the ball doesn't travel as fast. Right. So that's the advantage of pickleball. You you don't have to run as hard. So it's like badminton but shitter.
[00:05:51] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:05:53] Unknown:
Yeah. Perhaps. It's like a ghetto badminton.
[00:05:56] Unknown:
Mhmm. Yeah. Okay. Where where whereas badminton doesn't bounce off the ground. I mean, you're screwed. You've got to get to it. At least with pickleball, you you have a little bit extra time because it's gonna bounce on the ground softly and slowly. You can get over there and
[00:06:12] Unknown:
just lob it across. Do Americans ever play squash? Were you too large for that? I used to play squash when when I was younger. Okay. In racquetball, we call it because that is a I don't know what the difference between squash and racquetball is, personally. I'd imagine you guys have just named it incorrectly. Probably. I've never heard of racquetball. Scott, you like it in a court where you can play off the sides and the back. Mhmm. And it's like a rubber ball that's kind of
[00:06:37] Unknown:
that goes 300 miles an hour.
[00:06:39] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have that. That's the one. That is a great game, especially if you wanna be less fans. Because if you play someone who's better than you, oh, my Lord. Is that everybody you play? Pretty much these days, I imagine. I used to be a phenomenal squash player, mate. Did you really? Yeah. Phenomenal. And tennis. You don't brag about a lot of athletic things, so I tend to believe you on this one. You better believe it, mate. But I I will also be honest and say if I played now, it would be a train wreck.
It'd be a fucking train. I'm talking about, like, many years ago when I was a a very young man, like, an early teen. I was very good, and now I am struggling to walk up and downstairs. So Mhmm. I'm sure I'd struggle. Of course, lowering your value prop on sugar babies.
[00:07:27] Unknown:
Yes. They they wouldn't want you. Oh, definitely not. Well, in this episode of Ungovernable Misfits action news, we're pretty much just doing whatever we want to do this episode. We're gonna go over some statistics as we naturally do, update everybody on our solo Sundays mining project with demands s v 2 pool and a guide written by Urban Hacker. We have been working through some bugs on that, so I'm excited to get everybody updated on what we're doing. Unfortunately, though, another scam has befallen the Pleb Miner group, and this also bled into the home mining wizards group as well. So we will explain the scam.
We will explain the, why people continue to be willing dupes, willingly socially engineered by scammers. I want to talk about the psychology of that. Oklahoma has passed a Bitcoin rights bill, and there's some mining and node running stuff in there that I'd like to read over. It's interesting. The feds are just gonna do whatever they want to so every state can pass whatever the hell law they want to. But if the feds come in, they're gonna fuck you, but we will go over that. This is true. A young man named agent p has written an article for Ungovernable Misfits, a salacious, tabloid esque article that you really shouldn't read because it it it's just it's too much of a third rail.
[00:08:48] Unknown:
But if you want bit like that film The Ring where, like, if you watch it Mhmm. That, like, creepy witch will come and, like, fuck you up and kill you. Like, it's that bad. Yeah. It's that bad. I would I would suggest nobody go ahead and read that article, but we'll talk about it a little bit.
[00:09:02] Unknown:
We will review a Bitcoin bugle article about our good friends at the FBI and CIA adopting the op cat, and, we're gonna talk about pigs, people consuming salacious media like pigs. Exactly. But first, we have some fountain boosts, And I am up 1st. Isn't this a new one? 1st boost is from late stage Hoddle. He boosts 55,555 sats and says, this boost is dumb but is especially lame if you haven't heard the song 2 Phones by Kevin Gates. It goes, John's got 2 phones, 1 for the gram and one for the pod. He got 2 phones, 1 for PM radio and one for the corn. I think he needs 2 more.
How fitting bumping, max ring, ring, ringin'. Counting hash while they ring, ring, ringin'. Mafia jumping crown is ring, ring, ringin'. There you go. That's your late stage hoddle, 55,555 sets. Thank you for making me rap
[00:10:11] Unknown:
on the show late stage, you fucking prick. I didn't know you had it in you, mate. I didn't know you were that, I don't know, cool and ghetto and whatever else you need to be to be a rapper. Yeah. I thought singing was as far as you could go, but it seems there's no bounds to your skills. Well, yes, that's true. What about opera? Could you do something like that? That's the bit from,
[00:10:40] Unknown:
Step Brothers. From Step Brothers. Yeah.
[00:10:44] Unknown:
So you're gonna see if they could do polyoptic.
[00:10:52] Unknown:
And they're all, like, crying. It's just so weird.
[00:10:55] Unknown:
Oh, what a sad clown.
[00:10:57] Unknown:
Warm orange tart. Max and John, your biggest fan here, just dropping by to share some cheer. Horn. Another great show is in the books full of statistics and your other hooks. Some say that I have a fetish for misfits. I just find all other to be fuckwits. Nice. Max and John, you really make the tingle. You really make me tingle. Oh, my God. You ring my bell like Kris Kringle, and then a little Santa emoji. When do we get these type of fans? This is, are we big time now? I'm pretty sure. Anytime you get groupies, you're big time. Yeah. Well, thanks, Walmart and Star. I really appreciate that. And another, Hash Latette.
Dorsey banned me for being explicit. Kinda gay, if you ask me. I wouldn't fuck him. Not ever. Not even for sats and ice cream. Never stop hashing. Never censor. Never stop making the show. Love, hashtag. I wouldn't fuck him. Not ever. Okay. Fair enough. I wouldn't fuck him either. Well, the ice cream's a pretty good teaser. Yeah. The satin' ice cream. Yeah. But I like that. She, she sticks to us. She doesn't want anyone else, not even billionaires. Fundamentals. Okay. This is a weird request, but
[00:12:28] Unknown:
hang on. What the fuck? For his boot. Fuck me. Oh, you bitch. Well, no. Now we know the answer to spits or swallows.
[00:12:52] Unknown:
Oh, god. That was a bit of both, to be honest.
[00:12:56] Unknown:
Wow.
[00:12:58] Unknown:
I took too much of that in my mouth fundamentals. Went right down my went right down my throat and I was trying to gargle it for you and it all went wrong. And because I've laid out fucking hell because I've laid out a load of T shirts all over my desk, try and make the sound quality better. I've tried not to spit it all over that. Okay, you got your money's worth there, babe. Mhmm. He sure did. We all did. Hashlatet. Technical difficulties are a turn off. I expect more from you. Here's 20,000 sats anyway, my sugar babies.
Kiss. Kiss.
[00:13:36] Unknown:
Thank you, Hash Latte. I'm sorry we let you down. We'll do better next time. We appreciate the SATS. I I do feel it was it was my fault, and the technical difficulties she is talking about is everybody had a hard time loading the last episode of action news. And if you don't know how the boosts work, we read the boosts from the previous episode. Last month, the episodes were flip flopped. PMM came out before action news. So if that confused you, I apologize, but this is how it works. And Hash slutet is kindly telling us that she had a problem loading all the cool GIFs and whatnot Mhmm. On her podcasting 2.0 application.
And Jordan was quite busy, and he's like, hey, can you guys help me out? And I'm like, sure. So I make a bunch of GIFs, and they're way too big. And, you know, he does all kinds of back end stuff that I don't know how to do, and apparently, I don't make my GIFs small enough. That was the problem. Yeah. Show's too good. Yeah. I think that's the thing, isn't it? But a few people were whinging. Q and a was fucking whinging. He's a whinger. Always is a whinger. He's always in there. He's like, oh, guys can't listen to me.
[00:14:38] Unknown:
I'm like, well, come on, mate. Can you help it? Oh, no. I'm too busy doing stuff.
[00:14:42] Unknown:
That's a very good impression. You sound just like him.
[00:14:47] Unknown:
He's the winchiest robot that I know. UTXO Management. Yeah. The other robot that we know is actually a really good bloke, but Q. Jesus Christ. Very high maintenance. GLR. Mhmm.
[00:15:00] Unknown:
He still doesn't know what it is, does he? No. I answered on you you tweeted it out. You said Preve Deschanantes will know.
[00:15:07] Unknown:
Uh-huh. I said,
[00:15:09] Unknown:
gay, little,
[00:15:12] Unknown:
robot. Bang on. That's it. Will do.
[00:15:15] Unknown:
Hey, you missed something here on on the, Dorsey banned me for being explicit from Hashladdet. Did I? Somebody had replied, and this gets on my fucking nerves. When somebody's got a really good reply and the reply is, like, 10 sats, and I think it was a why don't you just fucking boost this reply? Good point. But this guy, I ain't gonna say his name. He says, Dorsey is a snake, and all the devs who are deriding him for VC funds are likely going to find out how and why he was made to do what he did while a twatter.
Nothing is free, and the devil always collects what is due. Once a fed, always a fed. I thought that was a banging fucking reply. It should have been a boost. So I put it in. That is a great reply. Can we just clear up, is he
[00:15:57] Unknown:
deriding him or is he deriding him? He's deriding. Okay. Dick riding. So not deriding. Fine.
[00:16:06] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:16:06] Unknown:
And also, child number 3 has explicitly told Sarah that daddy's show curses too much. Sarah's trying to drive, like, to her mom's house, which is, like, 45 minutes away, and she goes, oh, I'm gonna listen to to the show. Really? And and number 3 is in the back going, they're cursing again. They're cursing again. Oh, there's another one. Every time it's a curse, she points it out. So I was like, well, I guess I gotta turn it off. Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Because it's probably me more than you as well. I don't know. I think it's more I think we're both pretty bad. Yeah. We're both pretty bad. Mind What should we do? Carry on doing what we are. Very well. Richard Grieser, it's time to get ungovernable.
Where did the dollar menu go? They're hitting us where it hurts. I agree, Dick Reeser, and be on the lookout for a special dollar menu episode of the Bitcoin bugle. Oh, next one is from Carl. Did you make me a Carl's Corner jingle yet, Max? Do you want the honest answer? Yeah. Always.
[00:17:07] Unknown:
I outsourced it. That's fine. Somebody That's fine. Wait a minute. Hey.
[00:17:14] Unknown:
That's fine.
[00:17:17] Unknown:
That's fine. Don't do that bitch up, mate. Good again. So, okay. That's fine.
[00:17:24] Unknown:
I'm now discovering that our impression is fucking spot on. Yeah. It's exactly the same. Because at first, I thought it was you doing it. That's fine.
[00:17:34] Unknown:
Someone had written me, and I went doxxed them, saying that they had pretty good musical skills.
[00:17:41] Unknown:
Oh.
[00:17:42] Unknown:
Yeah. They said they're actually very musically gifted, and they're a listener of the show. And so I said, alright. Well, is there a way that you can do Carl's Corner? Can you make something for me? Mhmm. And they said, yeah. I will do that for you, but it's not gonna be this week because I have some really important stuff on. But I promise I'll do it. So hopefully, if they stick to their word, we're gonna have an actual musician actually make something, and then I'll take all the credit for it. What sounds great? Yeah. That's what successful people usually do. They outsource. And do you know what's cool is it's a listener of the show, so that's even better. I'm very excited by this. Yeah. Me too. So the answer is no, but
[00:18:23] Unknown:
It is fine. Back to Carl's Corner. As a home mining pleb, I've come to think about profitability differently. Heat first, hash second. I give my miners a job, dehydrating food, drying laundry, growing plants, using excess solar power, even making maple syrup. If I can use miners to do productive work, the systems become more efficient and more profitable. The sales of the products produced with miners earn Bitcoin too and allow for the sats mined to be huddled longer. Sats you don't get are sats you don't have. Maintain the sats flow.
[00:18:57] Unknown:
Will do, Carl. What sort of style do we want this music to be for Carl's Corner?
[00:19:04] Unknown:
I was thinking, like, public radio style, like PBS. Okay. Like a jingle they would have had in the in the eighties. Okay. What are you thinking?
[00:19:18] Unknown:
Don't know why, but I was thinking, like, jazz or soul or something like that. Mhmm. I was thinking, like, what would be nice if I was at Carl's in his corner? He's got animals and plants and all this nice stuff, and he's in nature. And, like, what would I be thinking or wanting to listen to if I was in that environment? I kinda think maybe it'd be jazz or soul, something like that. Certainly, I don't wanna be like trap music or anything like that. No. It'll be something
[00:19:50] Unknown:
like Carlos Corner.
[00:19:55] Unknown:
Doesn't make sense. Yeah. Just something nice. I can't say any more than that. Just, like, maybe, like, don't know. I can't think off the top of my head. I'll leave that to the the musician, but something nice and, like, that you'd wanna listen to when you're around nature. Something joyous and happy.
[00:20:11] Unknown:
You know what I imagine? I imagine that the camera comes up and Carl's in a greenhouse, like, doing some stuff, and his back is, like Mhmm. 3 quarters turn to everyone. And they come in and go he turns around and goes, hi. Oh, oh, you're here. Come on in. Come on into my greenhouse. Come on into Carl's Corner. Oh, yeah.
[00:20:30] Unknown:
Yeah. And then it it fades in. Maybe we can get Carl actually doing, like, a welcome to Carl's Corner, and I can send that to this musician.
[00:20:37] Unknown:
Well, Carl's a pretty talented videographer. This is true. So he might he might be down with that, especially if, you throw some sats at him. Okay. We'll we'll team these 2 up together.
[00:20:49] Unknown:
And to the person who's gonna be doing this, I'll send you a link to this episode and and time stamp so that you can really have a listen, really, nail down what we need. As we riff,
[00:20:59] Unknown:
brainstorm. Mhmm.
[00:21:01] Unknown:
I've lost where we are now. Warm orange tart. Warm orange tart. Max with a kiss kiss kiss. And John, been thinking about you both. Bitey little bottom lip. That's so fucking I love that. Mhmm. Can we just stop and just, like, appreciate how good that is? Yeah. The little bitey bottom lip. Just with that look. Oh my lord. I'm considering starting my own podcast with a little, microphone and, what are they called those things? It's like a dick fruit. Eggplant. Dick fruit. I believe it's in the Night Shade family. Tossing around ideas now, something tells me true crime is what my fans would enjoy best, accidental death due to asphyxiation.
And then like a little not s and m not thing. Okay. I'm pretty cut and dry. I'd love to sink my teeth into something juicier. And then a little peach emoji. Any advice? Winky. Till next time. Cherry pop. Oh, I like this. Horn emoji, e. Horn emoji, e. Horny. Sent from my iPhone. Sent from my iPhone like it's a fucking email. Well, warm orange tart. That's brilliant. I think you should do it. If you want any help with jingles or stupidity, come to me and John, and keep doing the little bitey lip thing. It does does things for me. So Wow. Thank you very much.
[00:22:36] Unknown:
Okay. Moving on. My goodness. Gotta catch my breath after that one. Yeah. I know. Alright. We're gonna we're gonna hammer the rest of these out. This isn't the podcasting 2.0 boost show. It is action news. Experatriotic John Eumasikist, you said you're solo mining, hypocrite, after telling people it's insane to solo mine. Jokes aside, what do you reckon is the smallest you'd want to be in terms of amount of hash to solo mine, assuming you own the machines free and clear? I would say whatever your runway is. If you have a really long runway, go ahead and solo mine, if if that's what you're into. If you don't have a long runway, well, you're not capable of doing it. So it's all about the runway. Another one from Expatriotic, Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels is one of Guy Ritchie's best movies. I definitely did not get this movie recommendation from pod 256. Oh, you
[00:23:26] Unknown:
traitor. Yeah. That's treacherous.
[00:23:28] Unknown:
Max and John need to get on their film recommendations. Shit. Message, message, message. Eggplant, eggplant, eggplant. Robot, robot, robot. Ghostface, ghostface, ghostface. Move to fountain so my boosts get red. Yes. This was a good idea, expatriotic. Thank you for not making us hunt around for them. These fucking emojis. Poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop poop. My eyes are no good here, buddy. Should I take over for you?
[00:23:59] Unknown:
Can you take over? I can't see that. Yeah. I can do it. An old. Thanks. Hold on a second. Let me just, increase the screen size here. That's right, dad. Expatriotic. Move from fountain, so my boots get red. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Poor emoji. Crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, crying face, sad face, sad face, shocked face, Oh. Star, shocked face, star, shocked face, star, shocked face, star,
[00:24:30] Unknown:
ghost,
[00:24:31] Unknown:
skull. It's like watching Michael Jordan play basketball. Oh, that's amazing. Robot, robot, robot, robot. Italian hand, Italian hand, Italian hand. Lips, eggplant, peach, eggplant, peach, eggplant, peach.
[00:24:45] Unknown:
It's getting hot in here. Banana,
[00:24:46] Unknown:
cherries, banana, cherries, banana, cherries. Right, mate. Thanks for that. I appreciate it. He's a dirty boy. He's a dirty boy. He really is. I'm forgetting what basic stuff is. I'm at that level of tide. I was looking at the banana, and I was like all my all my brain was doing was, like, yellow. It's a fruit. It's a it's a thing that you eat. It's a
[00:25:07] Unknown:
it's a banana, if that's what it is.
[00:25:10] Unknown:
It's a banana. Rennick went through hell to listen to this episode. That solo Sunday brings old memories from 2022. Do it. Where's Barn Jerky Commercial? See you all at Mining Disrupt. Yeah. I'm sorry you had to go through hell for that last one. I hope it was worth it in the end. And as we've said previously, it's all John's fault. Yeah. Sorry. Randomly. Yeah. I like that you own it. Black coffee. I don't know what that face is. It's like a face with eyes, but it has no it has no it's just like eyes.
[00:25:42] Unknown:
Creepy. But then there's like a a cloud around it.
[00:25:46] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, thanks, mate. Avatar.
[00:25:50] Unknown:
Don't read that part. Oh. I made a mistake. Oh, don't read that part. To delete that. Oh, that is the avatar. That is the thing. Okay.
[00:25:56] Unknown:
8th Randir. So many fellow boosters now. It was lonely here not so long ago. Yeah. OG,
[00:26:03] Unknown:
mate Randir. No dumb. Rod Palmer boosted 69100, so that's he had nothing else to say. Bubba Bubba says a lot of dick talk and fag talk. What do you say for? Ordinals. Whose top or bottom? Must say it made me thirsty. Now I'm parched. Okay, Bubba. What do you what do you want? Bon. So many lightning disrespect tours out there. No problem. I'm enjoying using it in many different ways in wallets, near instant settlement, extremely lower fees, don't have to compete for block space with gay wizard JPEG goobers, Don't have to think about, oh, ah, what's that mempool at? I'll just wait until some unknown time in the future to do what I want to do so I don't spend X percentage of my transaction in exorbitant fees. It's not as hard to use it ungovernably as the disrespectors make it out to be. Love y'all.
We love you too, Bon. Yeah. Thank you, Bon. Despite you Canadian.
[00:26:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Canadian. And I I still I still think he's wrong about Lightning because the, the receiving is a is a big problem. Someone, I can't remember who it was, shared something today that might sort of ish get round the receiving issue on lightning. So we'll probably cover that on the next monthly. I know what you're talking about, and I look forward to you in q and a covering that on the next Bitcoin monthly.

Solex, fuck you the flippening. It is the flappening fuckers. Heart fire. Thank you, Sollex. Oh, shit. I was supposed to do something for this. Let me see. You're gonna hear some clicking. This is a this is why I use a soundboard. I hate all this clicking Mhmm. When people do it. Oh, yeah. I can hear that in the background. You know? Yeah. And why do you have to have a mouse that's so clicky as well? Yes. I don't know. That's exact mhmm. Mhmm.
[00:27:52] Unknown:
But you hear who's the worst for clicking? Q and a. Yeah. The amount of editing that I have to do to get his fucking clicky little fingers edited out. He's clicking around, getting stats and how to do things and all this smart robot stuff. And I just think to myself, why don't you just buy a fucking mouse that doesn't make so much noise? Sure. Yeah. He he easily could do that. Yeah. He's a bull market. Yeah. Yeah. Figure stuff out. You'll click it. Work I'm working on it here. I'm working on it. Okay. That's fine. I don't wanna be too clicky. Okay. That's fine.

Gerdys. Now I don't want Husker Du and Gerdys and flogging Molly. These are old episode sound bites. Damn it. I don't know where it's at. Soulex, I don't know where I put it. We'll get it we'll get it on the next one, Soulex. I I apologize on John's mouth. I can't do this to him. Well, you already are, mate. I can't do this to him.
[00:28:41] Unknown:
What? He's if anyone is a fucking alien, I would vote it's Vitalik.
[00:28:53] Unknown:
Oh, I thought you were gonna do Solix, and I was totally a 100% all in on, say, it's Solix as an alien. Oh, really? Yeah. Maybe they're both aliens. There you go. It takes 1 to know 1.
[00:29:03] Unknown:
No. I mean, it looks just like a fucking alien. Oh, yes. He moves around and talks like an alien.
[00:29:09] Unknown:
What? What's what? Exclusives from SolEx. What? Not reading posts. This sounds like wave. Damn you fucking people with these emojis. Winky tongue face. What? Also fun. Started listening to Pod when not connected to Wi Fi and got instant data usage warning. Thanks, Alex. I love you too, buddy.
[00:29:36] Unknown:
Chaos 99. Love the innovative use of chapter art. Tip of the cap. Thank you, mate. That's all Thank you. Yeah. Mainly Jordan. Hashi, you as well. Both of you. Yeah. I'm a part of them. Yeah. You do. So tip of the hat, tip of the cap to both of you. Put the cap to you as well. Expatriotic. You'd probably get more boost from uncompliant, ungovernables if you said to not boost. And then Italian hand, Italian hand, Italian hand. Yeah. That's probably true, actually. But it's getting to a point now where we've been recording for many, many minutes here. Yeah. Too many minutes of boosts. Yeah. We really appreciate the boost. It's fucking awesome, but I don't know. I think maybe we have to keep it as it as it is. We have to tell people, do boost. Because if we tell them not to, it'll be a 5 hour show. That's true. That's true. Pies.
Hey. John killed it. It's pie the donkey. John killed it on the outro, son. Let's fucking go, and then all the exclamation marks.
[00:30:44] Unknown:
Many.
[00:30:45] Unknown:
Peace and love. Beers. Thank you, Pies.
[00:30:50] Unknown:
Thank you, Pies, very much. And now moving on to the show that is actually the show. Statistics. We have some statistics for
[00:31:06] Unknown:
you. Statistics. Statistics.
[00:31:33] Unknown:
Statistics. Statistics are brought to you by Lincoin Mining. So why mine with Lincoin? Well, I have the answer for you right here, sir. They offer a robust suite of customizable tools and innovative user interface and modular services tailored to meet the needs of miners of all sizes and capacities. What's that, Max? Modular services, you say? That's correct. They provide ASIC management and automation, inventory management, an energy trading platform, mining analytics, demand response participation. Define teams' roles to include the most handsome, reliable, and hardworking member of your mining team. No. It's not Max bit by bit. It is our dear friend and cohost, Bobby McButface. And now with load, you can unleash your Bitcoin mining operation's full potential and boost revenue by dynamically tuning your power usage in response to live grid conditions and market trends with
[00:32:31] Unknown:
loads. Unleash your load with Linkcoin.
[00:32:37] Unknown:
Man, that's it. I don't even need the rest read the rest of the ad read. You said it. Say it again, Max. Unleash your load with Link coin. We joke here on Goverdle Misfits, but at Linkcoin Mining and their brother company, load, They take your mining success very seriously and want to see their mining partners and energy consuming mega and gigachads succeed, not only in the short term, but for many epochs to come. That's lingcoin.comandload.iolod. Global hash rate. Global hash rate on a 30 day moving average is 608 exahash. 7 day moving average is 6 55. It was 596 on our last episode. One day highs for the past month have been as much as 708 exahash.
On May 24th, as low as 534 on May 6th. We are coming up to curtailment season, so expect more dramatic hash rate swings over the months to come. Because of that fact, Link coin mining, who has a lot of, demand response participating people given the services that they offer with their energy trading platform and ease of curtailment. Hash rate has dipped a bit and is now at 1.88 exahash. If you are an FPPS payout enjoyer and aren't pointing hash to laincoin, get at it. You'll love the steady and reliable payouts, but you'll stay for the tools. Sarah always makes fun of me when I say anything with 2 o's.
Pool, tool, school. And she say, what? That that's School. Fool. Yeah. And she says there are not 2 syllables in those words. What do you mean? Fool. She's saying I'm, like, almost putting 2 syllables in fool, like, fool. You say fool.
[00:34:24] Unknown:
Fool. Same thing. Yeah. I don't think we're wrong here. I'm I'm scared of Sarah. Oh, me too. Me too. Help me. Sarah, don't take this as an attack, and please don't hurt me. But I think you're wrong here. Okay? I think you need to be, kinder to me and John. I think we're saying it perfectly. And, there's no fools here. The other mining pools of notes hash rate. No. You fuck that. Don't be a Craig. Fuck, sir. That was wrong. Beat him. Sarah, beat him. He's being an idiot here. You deserve it. Foundry is at 173. They were at 179. Antpool, 135, but they jumped to 150.
[00:35:05] Unknown:
Via BTC is 77, jumped to 82. SBI crypto, 12.88, jumped to 13.75. So everybody's going up. Cipline coin, They went down a little bit, but they're in a unique position because they are not just a mining pool. There's a lot of, you know, total package energy strategy going on with Linkcoin. Not just a pool. You don't even have to use the pool if you don't want to. Plenty of other tools within the Linkcoin and load ecosystem that can bring you great value, like hash value, hash value and hash price. Hash value, 77,760 sats per pet hash per day. Boo. That making me sad. Hash price is hovering around $53 per petahash per day. May 5th was a good day for FPPS Enjoyers because that day, a petahash garnered you $58.
Pretty cool. Hey. This isn't hard to do with hash value and hash price. If you wanna take the petahash down to terahash, you just move decimal points. It's really easy. You can do this thing like you used to do in school. You know? Oh, divide 1,000 by a 100. No. I wanna move 2 decimal places over, and you, like, make a little u, you know, as you move the decimal places so you can count how many decimal places you you moved. It's real easy. Everybody can do it. So if you have a petahash and it's $53 a day, well, 100 terahash is gonna be $5.30 a day. If you have less than 100 terahash, you're gonna make less than $5.30 a day. It's it's easy. You could break it all the way down to to 1 terahash, and then you'll know that that's 53¢.
And then you can multiply that by whatever Terahash you have.
[00:36:43] Unknown:
You see? You have to do less maths.
[00:36:45] Unknown:
These are real tools. I like that. Real tools. Yeah. That's why we talk about statistics. That way nobody can bullshit you. All the statistics are here. They're laid out. They're historical. I mean, even if you're not an FPPS person, you're probably pretty close, though, on on an average if you had another payout scheme. Don't let people bullshit you. Understand the statistics. So what I mean by that? Okay. So if you previously used, you know, brains before they they moved over to FPPS and became an AMCOL proxy Mhmm. You lived on luck, but the luck was supposed to even out. So if you zoom out a little bit and then just take, like, all those average hash prices and hash values over a month, it'll probably be just about equal whatever your f p FPBLNS and FPPS will probably be about the same. That's the idea of all of this. FPPS is But it added a bit of a bit of a, a
[00:37:38] Unknown:
bit of fun to it in a way, didn't it? Because you might you might be like, oh my god. We haven't had a block for ages. They're like, well, stress, and then you hit 1. You're like, oh, and then you do well, and it's like fun. Mhmm. Like but maybe sometimes in business, when you're
[00:37:55] Unknown:
trying to trying to not lose everything. It's better to kinda know where you are. That's some it it whatever your preference is. Yeah. You know, we we've got another pool, which I'm damn sick of talking about because they have an insignificant hash rate, but their pay payout system is very similar to PPLNS. Same thing. Just zoom out a little bit. It'll be about the same. And you can apply these statistics in past history. Mhmm. That's all. Just zoom zoom out a little bit. You don't have to go day by day. But if you did it day by day, you probably probably would be about right. Without mentioning that
[00:38:22] Unknown:
gay pool, I like the exchange that we had with their top boy. It was fun. Boy in You really? Boy oh boy.
[00:38:32] Unknown:
Didn't like being challenged. No. And it was very, very mild challenge. If you don't know what we're talking about, you know, that pool has hit 3 empty blocks out of I don't know. I forget now because I didn't break this down. 39 blocks. 3 out of 39, it might be. And I asked a very, mild question. Hey. Is there something that you can do better here? Because you've got a lot of people's time and money on the line and Could you make some process improvements, in the way you do things? No. You're a liar. You're a troll. You know, how dare you say these things? And then I asked other pool operators, larger pool operators, you know, former VPs of very large mining pools. I asked I asked around a little bit after this exchange. I didn't make it part of the show, so I'm not gonna break it all down. The answer is yes. There are process improvements.
There are people that that run very successful solo mining pools. Konkalavas is like, you know, we don't hit any empty blocks. Spoke to somebody else. I I told them it would be off the record, so I'm not going to say who it is. But this guy has been a pool operator for many, many, many years. And he says, you know, what we're working on, no. We won't be hitting any empty blocks either. I talked to another tell you. Yeah. I know. I talked to another third pool operator, as a matter of fact. And they're like, well, what you could what you could do is during this time is just have a number of different blocks candidates set up and just throw whatever transactions are in there. And then later on, once you've gotten your stupid filtered block candidate constructed, then you can send that out to your miners for work. So there are some process improvements that that you can make here. Okay. From what I'm told, I'm not a pool operator. So I can't even just a guy just a guy that reads statistics like network difficulty, which is at 84.38 trillion children.
84.38 children.
[00:40:23] Unknown:
No. Isn't that what he's actually got? Michael Jackson. No. I don't like that. Aforementioned.
[00:40:32] Unknown:
84.38 children, trillion children are starving today. Please help the children. I don't know why I'm laugh laughing about 84.3
[00:40:41] Unknown:
trillion children.
[00:40:42] Unknown:
There's definitely not that many people on the earth. No. I don't think there is. So you can laugh. Yeah. Okay. But network difficulty is 84,380,000,000,000. And given our release dates, we might still be at that difficulty. This show should come out within, like, 10 days, maybe 2 weeks, maybe a month. Who the fuck knows? Transaction fees as a percentage of block reward. They're shitty. As was reflected on May 5th's Hash price. That's shitty. Yeah. We had a good day on May 4th because I'm guessing that all the Star Wars fans minted runes on May 4th. That was a good day for transaction fees as a percentage of block reward. I forgot to type it down, but I think it was 13%.
Okay. On May 4th. May 4th be with you always.
[00:41:25] Unknown:
Do you think that's what it was?
[00:41:26] Unknown:
I'm just guess I it just came it, like, popped into my head. Like, oh, why does May May 5th had really good transaction fees as a percentage of block rewards, and they're, like, they're a day behind. Mhmm. So I had assumed Mhmm. That May 4th, a bunch of Star Wars bullshit got minted. Probably. You're probably right, but you have no proof. No. I have none. Okay. And I'm willing to admit that. Yeah. Let's review how to determine oh, I don't have to do that because I already did it. FPBS hash rate and hash value and hash price, you just need those three things to historically determine how much money you would have how much Bitcoin. And if you had sold the Bitcoin immediately the day that you received it, if you're getting payouts every day. You can just go back in history and verify all that stuff. Super easy. Explained how to do it. Hey. Just wanna let you know if you are a lightning enjoyer, like our friend here in studio, body mcbotface, check out Linqcoin's new terms of service regarding their payouts and explore the changes in their payout methods.
It may be beneficial for you now to take biweekly or monthly payouts given your hash rate. If you don't achieve the minimum hash rate, look into Lightning Payouts even if you are a disrespect tour. Ask Bon. Ask Bon. If you need advice on Lightning, he is emphatic that he likes it a lot, and he might be willing to help you out. But, lightning enjoyer here in studio with us, body McBotface. Hey, buddy. How you doing? Yo yo. My ninjas,
[00:42:55] Unknown:
listen. I heard John trying to rap your in your fountain boost. Not mad. Let me show you boys how it's done. Okay. Drop me a sick beat. Mister Sound Ward. Hello? Mehdi, what the deal?
[00:43:15] Unknown:
Alright, buddy. Hit it.
[00:43:17] Unknown:
Mehdi, I got 2 dobs. 1 for coin, 1 for load. I got 2 parts for hiding and my code. I got 2 roles. 1 for person. 1 for control. Are these grinded in making Bitcoin saving? Bolt. I got 2 asks, Lincoin, and 1 for loan. I got 2 love. 1 I'm am, and 1 my code. I got 2 live. When I hurtle, when I roll, this is Martishi high. At movie make me swell.
[00:43:52] Unknown:
Yeah. Boy.
[00:43:54] Unknown:
That's pretty good, mate, actually.
[00:43:56] Unknown:
I respect that. Yeah. What do you think about body now?
[00:44:00] Unknown:
I'm a respecter. I'm certainly not a disrespecter. You used to be. Always giving that dude a hard time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, sometimes these people grow on you, and I look down like he's a world class rapper straight off the bat. No question. In that. Yeah. Yeah. He's obviously got game because, as we know, his misuses. Oh my god. He knows his shit as well. Sometimes you test him. You better not test him because he's always right. So you start to spend yeah. Pin pound is fucking strong, and you start to spend more time around this guy. You're just like he's kinda, like, low key. I think that's the thing. You kinda easily disrespect him. You could write him off because he's so low key. But, yeah, Bossy, that was sick, mate. I appreciate you. You thought it was all dad jokes?
Mhmm. Jokes on you. Yeah. I I didn't know there was more layers to it, and it seems that it's just it's endless. Can I just say that that our our harem
[00:44:53] Unknown:
of groupies and beautiful women associated with ungovernable misfits is growing? Really? I'd like to point out a a few of them off the top of my head, and maybe you can think of a few more. We've got our, statistics babe, hot. Yes. K. We've got Hashladdet banging.
[00:45:12] Unknown:
Mhmm. Warm orange tart. Unbelievable. Bitey lip.
[00:45:17] Unknown:
Oh god. Missus Bardi.
[00:45:20] Unknown:
Mhmm. Shaking that ass. What did you say it was like? 2 Volkswagen Beetles
[00:45:25] Unknown:
strapped. Volkswagen Beetle ratchet strapped to her hips. Oh, wow. I see you, missus Body. Shaking that ass. Shaking that ass. You know who else is shaking ass? It's the boys at Bifrost Manufacturing. Oh, really? Yeah. Shaking
[00:45:43] Unknown:
it.
[00:45:49] Unknown:
Hey. Exciting news. Bifrost's grand opening is set for September 1st at their facility. They're not they're not, anons. They don't mind being docked, so we're gonna tell you their address. They're at 1213 Ryland Road in Grand Forks, North Dakota. That's right. They're located in Grand Forks, and they're opening a world of innovative solutions and precise creation using CAD software to build custom solutions for your business needs right there in Grand Forks, North Dakota, which is a great place for a place like Bifrost Manufacturing to be given that they're kind of like an avionics and, aerospace hub there in Grand Forks, and they're right in the thick of it. At Bifrost Manufacturing, they offer 3 d scanning and printing, custom fabrication and manufacturing.
They have a team of crack machinists and fabricators trained in various welding, CNC, and machining crafts. You can contact them by visiting their website at Bifrost Manufacturing
[00:46:49] Unknown:
dotcom. Or You didn't mean to do that bit, did you? I thought maybe you'd do it. Yeah. Okay. Bifrost manufacturing.com. Or call them at 218 280-0371 or email at k [email protected]. Do you know what? These adverts have actually worked because I had someone message me 2 days ago, and they want a load of stuff building with these guys. So they said, oh, I need something manufactured. I need something making. I won't docs who it is or what it's for, but something that would be used quite a lot. And, yeah, Would they build it for me? I said, of course, they will. Just reach out, mate. Tell them we sent you. Let them know.
[00:47:38] Unknown:
Use promo code Ungovernable. We don't have a promo code with them, but don't know. We don't. Just they know. Just tell us. Just say Ungovernable Misfits. Yeah. Ungovernable misfits. Misfits are moving the needle in manufacturing. And if you want needles building or making, I'm sure they could make those too. They could probably make them. Yeah. I I imagine so. I imagine so. I don't think they've made any progress on your, human occupied drone. There, I use the woke term, manned drone. That's actually fine. K. That's fine.
[00:48:08] Unknown:
Because Bitcoin hasn't really moved And Yeah. Which is fucking like, every time we record, I'm slightly more poor. So that idea of having one of those built is is such a massive pipe dream that, honestly, they don't need to, they don't need to rush it.
[00:48:26] Unknown:
And because we're so incredibly poor, we ask that you pause right now and stop, drop, and boost. That's right. Do what DMX says. Stop, drop, and boost the show right now. Our boosts are higher than ever, and it is very much appreciated because we pay for editing of this show with the boosts. It's true. And, yeah. We also buy drugs and and get drunk and get prostitutes with the boost money too. But the editor, he gets paid every month.
[00:48:57] Unknown:
The bum bum checks.
[00:49:02] Unknown:
What? Max, our friends over at the Bitcoin Bugle made us a little ad read, Rod Palmer and Dick Greaser. So the show is also sponsored by Ungovernable Misfits. Damn, son. Where'd you find this? Listen up, plebs.
[00:49:21] Unknown:
Are you nonconfident? Are you sick of being spied on? We make it look easy. Cringe listening to PodComp approved podcasts?
[00:49:30] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. If so,
[00:49:32] Unknown:
Ungovertible Misfits has a podcast just for you. Listen to chief misfit, Max, explore ways to regain your freedom, sovereignty, and privacy using bitcoin and open source software with self custody influencer q and a, club miner John, and the rest of the ungovernable crew on Fountain FM, the podcasting 2 point o platform where value for value trumps everything. Become a rebel with a cause. Become ungovernable.
[00:50:08] Unknown:
Self custody influencer really gets me.
[00:50:11] Unknown:
That's a good one.
[00:50:13] Unknown:
Damn, son.
[00:50:15] Unknown:
They're very good. They're very, very good at all this clever AI stuff and ad reads and So if anyone hasn't already checked them out, it's well worth having a listen. And it's nice to have, like, some friends up at the top. You know, we're always up at the top of the charts, aren't we? And it's nice just to have some friends up there with us. It it is nice, and it it looks good too
[00:50:37] Unknown:
Mhmm. For the bugle and on Ungovernal Misfits and even rock paper Bitcoin to be to be up at the top. It does. It does. Well, that was an an ad read for Ungovernal Misfits, but, of course, Ungovernal Misfits is not just a podcast. It is a website where you can purchase clothing and art. And I recently saw that there were 3 pieces of art placed up on ungovernablemisfits.com. Mhmm. The artist is actually shares the same name with you. Yes.
[00:51:06] Unknown:
It's like a very bad shitty nim, isn't it, where I actually tell everyone that it is me? Yeah. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. I don't know what I'm trying to achieve either, but, I finally got some up, and they're currently hanging in my living room. But if anyone would like to support the show and they'd like to buy some, I will package them up nicely. I will send them over to you, and I hope you will enjoy them. The last person who bought some art from me, I sent a video of me packaging paintings up. They bought 2, and I went proper overkill on it, like, fucking seriously overkill on the packaging.
And they sent me a picture of how it arrived. And I'm very, very glad I did go over the top because UPS or whoever I used really, really fucked it up. Like, really fucked it. It was UPS. I'll call them out. So I was thinking, like, oh, well, these people don't really care. Like, if you put fragile on it, they're going to fuck it up even worse, aren't they? So I was like, okay, what I'll do, put the paintings back to back, loads of foam around it. Then I'll build these, like, metal corners that go on with, like, half mil steel, put them on, then I'll strap it, then I'll put a load of foam around it again, then I'll put more steel down all the sides to properly make sure nothing's going to happen, then had it all shrink wrapped, then had it all taped. And I did that, like, 3 or 4 times. So it was, like, unbreakable, you would think. They sent this fucking picture to me, and they're like, I'm so pleased that you went over the top because this Oh, man. Destroyed otherwise.
That's the level of care you'll get. I will go even more over the top this time to make sure that the artwork arrives with you safely.
[00:52:49] Unknown:
I'm sort of like a a freelance salesman for for you and Crown Yes. As far as your art and and work is concerned. And I was doing freelance sales the other day with somebody, and he's like, oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I did I ended up talking to Max, and then we discussed that the shipping was gonna be a $1,000,000,000 and it's it's just not practical those. To get this from from the UK. But then you told me the other day that it wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be to get them from the UK to the United States. No. It wasn't as bad. So it ended up being like for 2 and they're big paintings. They're like Yeah. They're big.
[00:53:20] Unknown:
These 2 were a 100 and 10 centimeters by a 110 centimeters, and there was 2 of them. No idea what you're saying. It's like
[00:53:30] Unknown:
They speak Chinese to me. They're not appreciative.
[00:53:32] Unknown:
It's it's a number. They're big. And it was, like, 40 kilo or the 30 kilos after I'd, like, packaged it all. And it was, like Once again,
[00:53:42] Unknown:
you've really pissing me off. What do you want? You want pounds? Free I I want freedom units. That's what I want. Inches and pounds, bro. Okay.
[00:53:50] Unknown:
It is, I don't know what the conversion is. I don't know what the I don't 2.54
[00:53:56] Unknown:
centimeters
[00:53:58] Unknown:
per inch. Okay. Well, you can do the conversion. Anyway, big paintings, weighed a lot, and it was, like, $350. Yes. That's not bad. Both of them, which wasn't too bad. Like, that was actually pretty decent. And it would have been even cheaper if I didn't go so crazy on the packaging, but then they'd have turned up as, like, fucking kindling or something. So to the person
[00:54:17] Unknown:
that spoke to Max before, there you go. 350 to have beautiful artwork in your brand new house or your fancy office. Yes. You know who you are, big boy. Max these three pieces of art. I I I fancy them very much. There's a lot of your art that I fancy that hasn't been released yet, and I'm excited for these 3 to get sold and then 3 more or however more you want to put on the website. It will be a drip feed, I think. And I I may
[00:54:43] Unknown:
like, we'll see. I know there's one you really have your your eye on, so I'm I'm not gonna put that up yet. Maybe if the show grows and Bitcoin really moons, maybe I'll fly over it with it for you. Maybe I won't sell it. We'll see. Oh, man.
[00:54:57] Unknown:
My buddy. Visit Ungovernable Misfits dot com. Click on the art section. Scroll around. There you will see custom prints from mister clown, and you'll see some beautiful custom artwork by Max bit by bit. And maybe, perhaps, other artists will want to list in the gallery. Me too. Because it's not a gay, pretentious gallery where people sit there and stare at the painting and some plastic surgery modeled up bitch that is getting some kind of crazy ass commission. Just memorize whatever goofy ass thing that the person described the painting as. Mhmm. This really describes the artist's inner self and the the struggle that they had as a child dealing with their identity crisis and an abusive parent. You can see it here.
Isn't it just a bunch of shit splattered on canvas?
[00:55:48] Unknown:
Do we just say the same thing? We did. Yeah. It's so true, though. It's so true. And the other thing is, for any of Crown's prints, you don't have to worry about any of that packaging. Literally, it goes in a lovely tube that can't be damaged. It's signed by him. It's numbered by him. It goes out. There's no problems. There's no UPS issues. I don't have to stand around fucking around. So,
[00:56:12] Unknown:
don't worry. If you're worried about that sort of stuff, you can order his prints as well. And as a proud owner of many mister crown prints, they, they do come quickly, and they are packaged just so. And now on to Ungovernable Misfits' action news.

This is Ungovernable Misfits Action News, your trusted source for news in the Bitcoin mining scene. Our campaign of journalists are dedicated to uncovering the stories that matter most. What's that in the sky? Why it's all terror with minor news. Turn up the bass with bass load. Contributing maverick journalist Dick Greaser from the Bitcoin Bugle and the ever present Bear Meiner. And now, Ungovernable Misfits, action news.
[00:57:04] Unknown:
He's been quiet recently. He's
[00:57:07] Unknown:
he's not though. He's not been quiet. He's been working very, very hard in the Bitcoin mining world. You guys just don't know about it. Oh, I know about it.
[00:57:16] Unknown:
Yeah, you know about it. You guys, the listeners, not you Max bit by bit to mine.
[00:57:23] Unknown:
He has been working very hard. I'm very proud of him. I mean, not like he's my son or anything. He's just my best buddy. But he has been working very hard in the bitcoin mining scene.
[00:57:36] Unknown:
I've heard. I've heard he's doing some really good work. And it's been nice as well, because it's been nice and quiet. You know? No drama. Yeah. He hasn't been mouthing off. He's just been doing work that's very good, and everyone's very happy, and no drama and no bullshit. Which is refreshing compared to what we've seen over the last few weeks. I know, dude. Fucking everybody's
[00:57:58] Unknown:
fucking got something up their ass. Bunch of bitches, dude. They're fucking complaining all the fucking time, dude. Burn manor. My burn manor. I just wanna grab him and cuddle him up like a little baby goat. Oh, you you know, he was supposed to donate sats to Ungovern Lisfits for his, last barn jerky sales. So I wonder I wonder what the final numbers are. A lot. I hear he's been doing big, big numbers. He sells it all. He sells out, like, instantly. This guy makes some jerky. You better go and buy it. But he's been so busy with other stuff. And the last bit of jerky he did, he ordered all this, like, grass fed beef Mhmm. Through this, organization. And, it was really, really small, so there wasn't much to share.
Speaking of barn miner, this has nothing to do with him. Up next, we've got a Bitcoin bugle article by our friend Rod Palmer. The CIA changes profile picture to a cat signaling support for op_cat, The Central Intelligence Agency, the civilian foreign intelligence service for the federal government of the United States changes profile picture on x, formerly Twitter, to a picture of a cartoon cat with Bitcoins for eyes. This is seen as a clear nod to the Bitcoin community and a signal that the agency supports the proposal to reactivate the satoshi era opcode, which proponents say will enable covenants and other cool Bitcoin features. The CIA quote, the CIA is one of the most powerful and admirable institutions in the world. Their profile picture is now a cat with Bitcoin eyes, laser eye maskies in full coop. Udi Wertheimer, Mossad agent. The new profile pic is more than a mere aesthetic update. It is the first time the CIA has weighed in publicly on debate over consensus changes to Bitcoin despite being early adopters and users of the protocol. While most observers and Bitcoin analysts were surprised by the very public and very unambiguous move by the CIA, most agreed the government, including intelligence agencies, had a big stake in Bitcoin's future, and they undoubtedly have strong opinions about potential changes to the protocol.
Notably, an hour after the CIA changed its profile picture, data gathered from the way back machine shows the National Security Agency, NSA, changed its profile picture to an AI generated image of a Reuben sandwich that quickly changed it back before the public noticed. What does it mean? For me, it means Reuben sandwiches are delicious. But according to Rob Palmer What is one? What is what is this? What is a what is a Reuben? Yep. A homeboy. You don't know what a Reuben is?
[01:00:29] Unknown:
Nope. A reuben. I knew when you said subway. We have subways here. That's shit. Give me more. Give me more of that sauce.
[01:00:38] Unknown:
No. Not enough. You're not gonna rip me off.
[01:00:44] Unknown:
Is it like a better version of because Subway is like typical American junk. No. A Reuben's not a store. It's a style of sandwich. Oh, okay. Why she is a Reuben sandwich?
[01:00:57] Unknown:
You've never had a Reuben?
[01:00:59] Unknown:
No. I've never had a Reuben. I don't know what a Reuben is. We don't fuck around with Reuben's. We have, like, BLTs here. That's basically what we love of. That's as fancy as you get, a BLT. Pretty much. Yeah.
[01:01:10] Unknown:
Have you ever been to press. Have you ever been to New York? Of course, you've been in New York because you tech to Max, and he's been everywhere.
[01:01:18] Unknown:
No. I actually haven't been to New York. Get out of here. I've never been. Oh. It doesn't it doesn't really it doesn't appeal to me, if I'm honest. I'm just like, it's one of the last places I'd wanna go. Okay. I think if you did go to New York, you would wanna go to this Katz Deli.
[01:01:32] Unknown:
Okay. In in there, they have a Reuben where you can get, slice of marble rye. And then on top of that, you've got 1,000 island dressing. And then you've got some corned beef. Mhmm. And then Swiss cheese. And then sauerkraut. Okay. And then more thousand island dressing, and another piece of marble rye. And it's about 6 inches, 8 inches thick. There's probably a half a pound to 1 pound of corned beef in there, and it's absolutely delicious.
[01:02:05] Unknown:
Yeah. It doesn't sound bad, actually. I'd probably eat that. Get yourself a Reuben. Mhmm. If I ever find myself in New York, I will go and get myself a Reuben. Very well.
[01:02:15] Unknown:
Back to the Bitcoin Bugle article. To put it simply, what does it mean? Not much. It's no secret that the government has been interested in using and holding Bitcoin for over a decade. The US government has a Coinbase account and undoubtedly several hardware wallets like most of us. However, signaling support of op included in the original Bitcoin stack, but which they removed in 2010 because it theoretically allowed users to push an unlimited amount of data to Bitcoin's blockchain in order to DOS the chain. Last year, a proposal to introduce OPCAT as an opcode for transcript and the proposal was just assigned BIP number 347 a few weeks ago.
According to Colin Harper from Hash Rate Index, OPCAT operates by allowing a Bitcoin user to join, aka concatenate in computer science parlance, 2 data points together within a stack and places these values at the top of the stack which makes these values the first items acted on in the event of a transaction. The concatenated values on the stack can ensure that the associated Bitcoin can only be spent if certain conditions are met. What does OPCAT allow? Among other use cases, OPCAT enables covenants and vaults. Proponents say covenants and vaults would improve existing cold storage and custody solutions. Companies like AnchorWatch, which provide insurance on Bitcoin in compliant cold storage wallets, could use vaults to add additional layers of security to customer funds and make their insurance premiums more affordable.
Anchor Watch CEO Rob Hamilton says vaults give Bitcoin gain reactive security, enabling a window prior to final settlement where funds can be reclaimed before they go to their final destination. To sum it all up, opcat will allow the CIA to better protect their money. In the deep state world, agents aren't elected. Different presidents come and go. Their administrators could either be hostile or friendly to Bitcoin and Bitcoiners, opcat, and the features it enables allow the CIA to have an extra layer of protection for their Bitcoin even if the White House steals their hardware wallet. Thank you, Rod Palmer, from the Bitcoin Bugle. Please visit their new website bugledot news to read their other articles and perhaps donate to the cause if you are so inclined.
Who doesn't need your donations? Tell me. Our friend, Altair. That's right. Altair doesn't need your donations. He just wants you to go to his website and look at all of his wares like Bitmain S21s, K Pros, what's miners, m sixties, custom a 120 volt Loki rig builds like the bit chimney and the Urlacker, stickminers from GeckoScience, bitaxe builds, parts, accessories like metered PDUs, power cables, fans, plugs, mining control boards. He just recently had the Epic UMC Mining Control Board on sale. Did you pay attention? Did you snatch one up for a reduced price? Well, if you visited his website often, you would know this. He also has something very exciting, and I think this is one of the most unique things about about Altair and what he does, the s 21. Okay. This is a a a 2 40 power supply on the s 21. Has another version called the t 21. And the t 21 is rated for 280 volt 3 phase.
That's what the t 21 is built for. And if I got that wrong, I'm sorry. I didn't write it down. It's off the top of my head. Get over it. The t 21, can't really be used for home mining because of that particular power supply. And you can't exactly just slap another, power supply on the side of the t 21 because it doesn't exactly line up as far as the bus bars goes. So what Altair has done is done the bench work for you. So you can simply order one of his t 21 transformers, and it is ready to go. Now the advantage of that is that it is, much less in price compared to the s 20 ones. So now the HomeMiner can get that kind of s 21 efficiency for a more reasonable price.
Nice. If you would like to order a t 21 transformer, either in Optimus Prime mode or Megatron mode, or if you can't spell Megaton mode, be sure to visit
[01:06:37] Unknown:
You want me to do this? Altair Tech. You want me to What? You want me to because I cannot remember I cannot remember his website name. Neither can I? Is it Altair Tech? Let's have a look. It's Altertech.io. Yeah. Tech. Let me just double check it so we don't fuck this up. Mhmm. Because we like them. We want people to go and spend money with them because they're very good. Alteretech dot io.
[01:07:05] Unknown:
What's that website again, Max?
[01:07:07] Unknown:
Alteretech.io. Use our code. Ungovernable.
[01:07:16] Unknown:
So many clicks. So much fucking clicking. Is it me clicking, or is it you clicking? It's me clicking, And I hate I hate myself for it. You should do. This has been a bad show for me.
[01:07:29] Unknown:
I'm really unprepared. Don't put don't put yourself down. It's alright.
[01:07:34] Unknown:
Just wanna go off in the woods somewhere. I don't wanna be here. I don't wanna be here anymore. Alright. I'll stick around a little bit longer Okay. Good. To give you, Altair's dope on the Bitcoin mining scene. You don't have much for us. This is the time of year everybody's fucking busy. They got time for all this podcast bullshit, but they want podcast material because they're all busy out there on the tractors and doing chores, and this is when people are listening to podcasts while they're doing all their gardening and work and such. And so we have to take time out of our day and all of our gardening work to give you the info you need to know. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, Max? Mhmm. We're happy to do it sometimes, rarely, not often. I don't know if, Alterra intended for us to share this or not when we asked him what's the dope on the Bitcoin mining scene, but he is working on a new PDU.
[01:08:27] Unknown:
And this will be a Oh, wow. What's a PDU? It's a power supply. Okay. What what's the DU then? Delivery unit, isn't it? Don't ask me questions that I don't have written down here. Well, I just think sometimes someone might listen to this show and they might actually make it this far somehow and they might go, yeah, I don't really know about, like, for example. So PDU is one of the things you're going say, and the other one is API. I listen to people say, oh, API a 1000000000 times a day, and I haven't done for 7 years. I still don't know what the fuck it is. I genuinely don't know what the fuck is an API.
[01:09:05] Unknown:
There. Bam. I put it in. API. What is an API? It's an application program interface. Okay. What is a p u? It's a power distribution unit. You know who would like this conversation is Baseload. Yeah. If he is all if you say if you use an acronym, he'll acronym violation right away. Mhmm. He don't wanna see it. No. I don't wanna see it. No. Making you proud, base load. Alterra's got a new power distribution unit in the works. This would be a small sub 5 pound intelligent power distribution unit that will allow folks to control via an application program interface. There we go. Very good. It's Internet based monitoring, switch level control for under $250.
He's gonna get this built. This guy's a mover and a shaker. He is. He's not just sitting around somewhere in some shack in the middle of nowhere just claiming he's doing stuff and getting mad at everybody.
[01:10:00] Unknown:
He's really getting it done, mover and shaker. Yeah. I'll say this. I have not seen this much moving and shaking since I last went to Hashlutz. Hey, you. Yeah. He's not messing around.
[01:10:13] Unknown:
He's not. Well, mister Altair, I'm very excited to see this new PDU and all that you're working on and, perhaps making it much easier for Bitcoin miners to control their power consumption as opposed to just smart PDUs. And I do hope that he will be working together with Medi at some point to make sure that agent can, log in via API and control these PDUs. Oh, good. So make sure you guys are talking to each other. I respect you both very much, and that that team working together
[01:10:42] Unknown:
can achieve a lot, I think. It's good dudes good dudes working together. It's like the opposite of what's the thing. It's like, what if a unstoppable force hits an immovable object, but it's like the other way around. So both have the positive charge.
[01:10:57] Unknown:
Are you saying like a refrigerator?
[01:11:00] Unknown:
No. Not in any way, shape, or form was I thinking about that at all. I was just thinking Okay. Rather than an unstoppable force hitting an immovable object, if those 2 got together, it'd be like 2 unstoppable forces that join together, and they become, like, super unstoppable. That's what I was calling you. Nothing to do with the fucking fridge. Okay. So how you got to that? Because we often say that Mehdi is a fridge. Oh, Mehdi the fridge. Oh, Mehdi the fridge. Yeah. He is a fridge. Yeah. This is true.
[01:11:32] Unknown:
K. K. It could be like, you know, when you had transformers and some of the transformers like the dino bots. Mhmm. Would you could put the Dyno bots or the, like, the Constructo bots together, and they would make a much larger bot much like Voltron.
[01:11:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:11:49] Unknown:
I think that's what we have going on here. Ungovernable misfits sponsor synergies, and they can get Bifrost manufacturing to to, manufacture it. Mhmm. Yeah. And then they could present this product at Lake Satoshi. Oh,
[01:12:03] Unknown:
yes. Nice transition.
[01:12:06] Unknown:
Boom. Thank you very much. I'm actually not doing the late Satoshi ad read. Okay. We are moving on to Pool transition. Oklahoma bill. Pool transition, you piece of shit. Hey. You know, a lot of these satoshi action fund bills, you know, where they go and they they work with politicians to get something together, And then the state legislature passes it, and everybody gets all excited, but then the feds come in and do whatever the fuck they want to anyhow. Mhmm. Yeah. Well, one of these recently passed, and it it's kinda neat. I like the wording of it, and and it sounds good, and it makes me feel good. Like, somebody actually gives a shit about us and and understands some things. In this Oklahoma bill, it's part a part a.
Am I a fucking lawyer? I don't know. It says it shall be legal in the state of Oklahoma to participate in home digital asset mining as long as the person engaging in home digital asset mining complies with all local noise ordinances. Easy. Thank you very much. That's fine. What was that again? That's fine. I agree. It is fine. And we have provided a lot of content on Ungovernable Misfits' how to home mine quietly. Please review our content back and forth, and you will find all kinds of advice on how to mine quietly at home because it isn't your local noise ordinance that you have to worry about. We all know who you have to worry about.
[01:13:24] Unknown:
Sarah? Sarah.
[01:13:25] Unknown:
Yeah. And as Max described early in the episode, she is scary.
[01:13:31] Unknown:
So she's scary. She is mean. Shh.
[01:13:36] Unknown:
And if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. On to this Oklahoma bill. It shall be legal in the state of Oklahoma to have a digital asset mining business in any area that is in zone for industrial use, which is great because sometimes you can find these commercial use properties that used to be industrial or vice versa, and it's pretty easy in some locales to get that zoning changed. A political subdivision shall place no specific limit on sound decibels generated from a digital asset mining business other than the limits they set for sound pollution which apply to industrial zone areas in general. This applies to I don't know if you remember our well, of course, you do. You remember things. Our episode with Jason Vaughn, he was one of our plebminers in the wild, and he also participated in our original plebminer month. Jason Vaughn was up in Montana, and the local I think it was Bozeman, maybe. I don't don't quote me on that one. He was up in Montana, and the local council was like, nope. It's too loud. And he's like, well, we are abiding by the general noise ordinances, and we're like, but we don't like this particular sound, so we are applying it specifically to you. Mhmm. Well, in the state of Oklahoma, that does that does prevent them from local town councils specifically targeting you. So that's not a fed thing. You know, when we're so miserable and pessimistic about everything, I mean, like, I don't need penis daughter getting out there and lobbying for me in front of the government. Fuck them, motherfuckers. Alright. Well, this is a particular instance where this doesn't have anything to do with the feds. It just has to do with your local Karen Council not shutting you down because of noise ordinances that they made up. Karen Council. A lot. Yeah.
They'll say a political subdivision shall not be able to impose any other requirements on a digital asset mining business that is also not a requirement for data centers in its area of jurisdiction. So once again, if you run a data center or a Bitcoin mine, they have to treat you the same. A political subdivision shall not be able to change the zoning of a digital asset mining business without going through the proper notice and comment. Until they can. Until they can. Right. A digital asset mining business shall be able to appeal a change in zoning to the proper court of jurisdiction. A judge shall reject such a change in zoning if it was done to discriminate against the digital asset mining business. Pricest.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission shall not establish a rate schedule for digital asset mining that creates discriminatory rates for digital asset mining businesses. Very, very good. So that's a that seems to me to be a PUC thing. Say that the PUC can't have a different rate class, and, we'll get maybe we'll get baseloads take on that on on rate classifications because that is definitely his area of expertise. Different rate classifications for Bitcoin miners. The node runners will like this side of things with this Oklahoma bill. Anyone engaged in home digital asset mining or digital asset mining business, staking, or staking as a service shall not be required to obtain a money transmitter license. It shall be legal in the state of Oklahoma to operate a node for the purpose of connecting to a blockchain protocol or a protocol built on top of a blockchain protocol and transferring digital assets on a blockchain protocol or to participate in staking on a blockchain protocol. That's faggot staking shit.
Operating a node or series of nodes on a blockchain protocol shall not require an individual or a business to obtain a money transmitter license.
[01:16:54] Unknown:
Wow. For now.
[01:16:57] Unknown:
Hey. Be so pessimistic. Celebrate a small victory and then continue the fight 2 minutes from now. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, anyone engaged in digital asset mining, operating a node, or series of nodes on a blockchain network, or providing digital asset mining Or staking. As a service for individuals or other businesses shall not face liability related to a specific transaction merely by validating the transaction.
[01:17:22] Unknown:
Okay. There were words. There were words on a page. I can never ever have any excitement for any of this shit. And I try. I really do. And I've read through this before we started, and just I just feel flat. Flat. Completely flat. There's there's no joy. There's no despair. There's nothing. It's just words.
[01:17:44] Unknown:
Alright, buddy.
[01:17:45] Unknown:
What about you? You hyped? You're fucking hyped.
[01:17:52] Unknown:
Damn, son. Where'd you find this? That's quite good at shit. Oklahoma. I like the noise ordinance thing. Okay. I like I like the the the the different not having a different rate schedule or discriminatory rate schedule for Bitcoin miners. Mhmm. Yeah. We recently met with the utility, my team. Do you know who's on that team? I know. It's special. And they were very excited to talk to us once we mentioned Bitcoin mining. They're like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Let's let's talk. Here's here's gonna be our tariff for you at, you know, 5 MEG or above.
Not everybody's like that, though. Mhmm.
[01:18:31] Unknown:
It's not racist. It's not a racist bill. Exactly. I and I think, you know, you just look how the times change over the years. You know? You go back Mhmm. 50, 60 years, things were very racist. And at the moment, I think a lot of people are still extremely racist and sexist when it comes to Bitcoin mining, and it's changing slowly. Slowly but surely, it's changing. We just gotta guide it in the right way that it isn't some sort of, like, liberal, we're not actually racist or sexist, but we are gonna enslave you kind of shit. Like, sneaky do you know what I mean? Like like a sneaky oh, sign this bill. We're really happy and nice, and we got blue hair. Oh, we love you. We're not racist.
Cage.
[01:19:14] Unknown:
Mhmm. Please loves me, daddy government.
[01:19:19] Unknown:
But, yes, it's good. It's good.
[01:19:21] Unknown:
Next up on the action news agenda, Another fucking sorry. Sorry, kids. Another fucking scam in mining Telegram groups. Another one. This is almost the same as the the last scam. It's not fine.
[01:19:41] Unknown:
That's not fine. That's not fine. Yeah. I couldn't believe it when I saw that. I just first thing I saw in the morning first thing I generally do is open our Telegram groups and our little uncomfortable groups, the first thing I look at. Mhmm. And I was just like, are you fucking joking? Mhmm. And then the rest of the day unraveled and yeah. What a nightmare. So can we give any advice? Well, I'm sure we'll cover what happened, but can we also Yeah. Let me break it down real quick. I'm not going to mention any names again,
[01:20:14] Unknown:
as we did with the last story. And I think I oh, I did mention some names, but only because they were very, very public about it. Mhmm. Because that particular instance, the person who was socially engineered and duped to being an active an active participant in the scam deeply regretted it. It hurt him personally. He was very upset. This is a man of integrity who I appreciate and like very much and have known for, as far as Bitcoin time, a very long time. Mhmm. And he took full accountability. He even tried to compensate.
What's the word that that they use? Reparations. Mhmm. Even tried to give it a rep reparations to the victim of the scam and then got out publicly and and told about the scam and how it happened as as a lesson to others not to let this happen to you. This other person that did almost the exact same thing, which was, hey. Some scammer contact you. Hey. I got a PDU or something, You know, really cheap and closing down my mind. You know, the having was a little bit too much. But I think you're special, you know, and I wanna give you this very special rate on the PDU. Oh, oh, I bought a PDU from you. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, that cost me a whole $200 in this guy. So he runs a scam with just a PDU. It's kind of freaking genius. And he's like, actually, you know what? I've got a whole bunch of minors. I just really gotta get rid of them, bro.
[01:21:33] Unknown:
You know, for you want the market rate for them. Because why would you want the market rate?
[01:21:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Right. You're cool. I just gotta get out of this mine. Landlord. You know what I mean, man? So what I need you to do I mean, you seem like you're pretty important in mining. Right? You wanna feel important. You're part of these Telegram groups. Would you would you be able to share this this special deal with other people? Oh, yes. I really want to be liked in all these mining groups. I'd be more than happy to share this deal. Recently, people were mean to me, and I think this could be a way that I can ingratiate myself to them. I'm gonna post this deal in all kinds of different Telegram groups, and I bought a PDU from because I'm a big time miner like, you know, like you are. And, I want you to be part of this deal too. Come into Telegram groups. Now now listen, On my side of things, it wasn't really paying attention to to our Telegram group during this time.
[01:22:25] Unknown:
It was a week job. Not your I know. Before you've I know. Not your job. You have to fucking protect these people. They're adult human beings. They can realize sometimes if things are too good to be true, they're too good to be true. Alright? So just fucking be careful.
[01:22:42] Unknown:
Very well then. But what the the advantage of this particular scam is you're going into Telegram groups. You now have clout just because you're in that Telegram group. This is true. And so people's guards are down. Same advice we gave. Please go back and listen to that episode. Mhmm. We're saying the same things. You still have to do your own research. Yeah. Anyone who actually was in that group the first time the scam happened,
[01:23:05] Unknown:
anyone who actually listened to our episode, we did, like, a 10 minute rant and proper guidance on how not to get fucked. And anyone who listened didn't get fucked. And anyone who didn't listen, they did get fucked. And so that makes us feel sad. We're gonna go through it again. Hopefully, they listen this time. Hopefully, people don't get scammed again. Yeah.
[01:23:30] Unknown:
So this happened across, our Telegram group, and, this was also posted in in Home Mining Wizards, which is a public group. So I think anybody in in these public groups should be a little bit more on their guard. The people in our group were off of their guard because it's, everybody assumes that I had somehow vetted everybody in the group. Sometimes it's just like, hey. I know this guy. It looks like he's doing something cool in mining, and then I go, hey. Do you wanna come in the group? And then that's about extent of my vetting process. Mhmm. We want to leave Chet made a really good point in in home mining wizards the other day. So if you're in that Telegram Gukka and and and look this up, he's like, we can't close ourselves off to everybody.
We can't, like, let let these scams completely make us jaded. I I get it. It it was a really good point, and and, I'm torn in in both directions. But in in general, I'm pissed. I'm pissed that it happened again. I'm pissed that, some people didn't listen to our show. I'm pissed off that 2 I and I and one of these guys I I know pretty well, 2 people got ripped off. These are good fucking people, and they got ripped off. And now now their mining operations are set back
[01:24:36] Unknown:
because of this. Yeah. It's not good.
[01:24:39] Unknown:
To the guy that that was a a a goony and a stooge in this scam, grow the fuck up. You didn't find a special deal, bro. You're not fucking special. Miners cost what they cost. In general, various miner dealers aren't far off from each other. On this show, we've only ever recommended 2 organizations to buy minors from. And if you deal with them, you can probably get what you want at a pretty good price.
[01:25:15] Unknown:
Compass. No. No one no one take that seriously. Please do not ever fucking ever do that. Don't go to Compass. Go to Altair.
[01:25:24] Unknown:
Or and I'll and I'll throw this in there even though not a sponsor, but Mhmm. A very good man, Kaboomrax Alex. Yes. You got some if Altair and and Altair doesn't deal in used machines, so you're you're just not going to you know, the Altair told me that this guy even approached him like, oh, I got these machines. He's like, dude, I don't I don't fuck with all that stuff. I ain't got time for that. I got bench work to do. I got new things to create. I'm not dealing in used machines. But Kaboomax, Alex, does deal in used machines. And if there's a scam, then they eat it.
You the customer doesn't eat it. Mhmm. They do. You want mining gear? It's Altair or it's Kaboomrax, Alex. And and don't don't think you're some kind of cool bro that's got a great lead on a fucking deal. You don't. No. People don't sell things at under market value generally when they know they can sell it because why would you? And
[01:26:13] Unknown:
it's not worth the risk. Like, if you're get if you're getting something and it's, you know, a little bit cheaper and you're thinking, oh, I'm gonna risk this, and I don't know them and I can send them Bitcoin and they might not send it back. And what if it's damaged? What if it does arrive and it's damaged? Or what if a brick comes? Or what if nothing comes? Mhmm. It's like, do you really need that sort of stress in your life? Like, is it not better to just be like, do you know what? I'm just gonna pay and go through somebody who I know can be trusted. And if there's any problems with it, I get my money back, and they don't fuck me around, and it arrives in time, you know, rather than not at all. Mhmm.
I don't know. It just feels like you don't need that sort of stress in your life for to save a few quid. And if you're saving more than a few quid a quid, by the way, for you Americans. It's like a dollar. It's like what we have here. It's just like slightly shitter money than the dollar. You want like 9 quid? Not not for ice creams with a gum. Yeah. If it's if it's more than £9 saving, then you're probably getting scammed. So in that case, if you want to take the risk, then at least go and physically drive somewhere and physically pick something up so that you can't get fucked over. Like, don't just send don't just send money that can't can't get back and hope that someone who you don't know and you don't have their identity is gonna actually send you some some mining gear. Please don't do it. It's it's horrible to see and especially within our own groups. Even if it's a long drive.
[01:27:45] Unknown:
Yep. Like someone we know who drives, very long distances, our good friend, Bubba Mhmm. Who I spoke to last week. He called me, and he's like, hey, John. I I wanna do something special for Lake Satoshi. I'm starting a new job, and I I can't get out there to Lake Satoshi, and and and, I wanna give away some tickets on on you guys' show. He's such a nice guy. He is a very nice man. And, we had talked for a a long time about all all kinds of different topics. He's just great to talk to on the phone. I couldn't come up with anything, so I asked, Lake Satoshi Ben what he would like to do for this because he's, even though he's a greasy ilk, he's a very creative young man.
So he he took some time to consider, and he got back. And he said, how about this? How about on the show, you guys announce the giveaway? And I'm announcing it right now. We're giving away through Bubba 2 tickets to Lake Satoshi, the Bitcoin Beach Retreat, August 10th. So that August 10th is a Saturday. Be be, you know, if you'd like to show up on 9th, stay the 9th, 10th, and leave, Sunday morning on 11th, you are more than welcome to. I that's what I will be doing. But the Lake's Toshi event is technically on August 10th. He's giving away 2 of those tickets. And what we're going to do is we would like you to guess how many miles on the road Bubba has driven his big rig with he and his lady for this week.
Oh, in how many miles has Bubba driven? Yeah.
[01:29:13] Unknown:
In one week. Can I enter it, but if I win, give my tickets to someone else?
[01:29:20] Unknown:
Sure. I'll allow.
[01:29:22] Unknown:
Okay. I think he's done 2,100 miles.
[01:29:29] Unknown:
Okay. Very well. I I won't venture a guess, but I I was gonna be in the twos. But I I I shouldn't even say that because, some somebody might wanna do some research. They might want to, check out Bubba's Twitter, you know, and see, okay. I see sort of in the desert here and get get an idea. Maybe there's some some interesting clues and hints there. Mhmm. You've got an idea. Differently out there.
[01:29:57] Unknown:
Well, yeah, they're different to what we have of not like you and lorries. Our lorries are very different.
[01:30:03] Unknown:
Well, they're they're gay. Like, all European stuff.
[01:30:06] Unknown:
Alright, fine. Whatever. Fuck's sake.
[01:30:10] Unknown:
What did you want me to say, buddy? That's exactly what I wanted you to say. Yeah. You knew you knew that's what I was gonna say. I, myself, am very excited, although sad not to see Bubba, on on the Bitcoin Beach Retreat, August 10th. We're gonna see a lot of people and people that I have wanted to meet and spend time with for a long time. The amount of people that are coming to Lake Satoshi that that have said that have said they're coming is much greater than last year when we were promoting this this event. Okay. I'm super excited. I think what what I'll do is is, why don't I have some Ungovernable Misfits clothing there to shield myself?
[01:30:47] Unknown:
Yeah. Nice idea. Maybe some artwork. I think I can do that. But only only cram stuff because mine's too bulky. Yeah.
[01:30:56] Unknown:
Bulking.
[01:30:57] Unknown:
Nice clothing. Bulking? I'm, still not doing any bulking for anyone who gives a fuck. FFC? Still not happening. They're still in that FFC mode. Mhmm. Yeah. It will come. It will happen. It will come. In time, it will come. I believe in you.
[01:31:14] Unknown:
Well, that's it for our own Gobble of Misfits action news. Sorry. We we we yeah. That's all I got. That's a whole lot. We're done.
[01:31:21] Unknown:
We're done. My. Just talking about FFC. Oh, you. Go
[01:31:30] Unknown:
on. You were saying, Max, we can still talk. We can still talk. We've got a whole another we've got a whole another no. The show just on action news. Just the action news segment is finished. I got a whole another piece.
[01:31:41] Unknown:
My little one has been fucking rinsing me every day. He's got this new thing every single day. He goes, daddy, big belly, daddy, belly, big, big, big belly, and then, like, flicks where my nipples are. And it goes, peebies. Bee bees, daddy, pee bees. Like that. So if I didn't have yeah, it's like every fucking day, I'm getting really close to either having a complete mental breakdown or just getting my ass in the gym despite it meaning that I'll definitely get injured because I'm too tired. But it's getting to that point because he's rinsing me so hard that I'm just like, fuck you, little prick. I'm not having any more of this. Get strong. Yeah. Get the belly gone. Here you go. I like it. Daddy, big belly. Big belly. Beepies. Beepies. Fucking no prick.
[01:32:35] Unknown:
I was gonna say, you said rinsing, and I've never heard this term before. And we we were in our our our Ungevable Misfits chat Mhmm. And I said dogging. Like, I hadn't I wasn't dogging you. And so dog dogging and rinsing are are, you know, equal there. And you you said something to q and a, like, tell him what dogging is. You know?
[01:32:55] Unknown:
I said, I don't think you get up. Yeah. Rinsing would be like what you call dogging over there is like attacking someone, like having a go at someone. Here, it'd be like, oh, yeah. You're rinsing them. There's other things we say as well, but that would be 1. Dogging here has a very, very different meaning. Dogging over here, you'll generally find on in, like, lay bys or in, like, public parking areas. And there'll be sort of like some wildebeest looking bird with, like, 5 blokes hanging out the back of her and people filming and just like a gang bang in, like, a shitty old car in a car park with a lot of people watching. Often truckers, although we have anything against truckers, Bubba, but it's often truckers.
[01:33:40] Unknown:
Here, we call them a lot lizards.
[01:33:42] Unknown:
Oh, really? That's quite good. I like lot lizards.
[01:33:45] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:33:47] Unknown:
Lot lizards.
[01:33:49] Unknown:
I like that. I might actually take that and use that here. There you go. A little bit of America in your day. Yeah. But here we call it dog. Lizards at the rest stop.
[01:33:58] Unknown:
Yeah. Very good. This is an educational show. People learn so much.
[01:34:03] Unknown:
Oh my god. Kid friendly. Yes. Sorry, kids. My last bit on action news has nothing to do with Bitcoin mining. It's a little piece that I wrote called don't be a pig. 1993, a year packed with significant global events for me. I was in the middle of high school. I bought a 1972 Mercury Montego GT Fastback with a 351 CJ. It looked just like the Gran Torino from Starsky and Hutch. So cool. So I'm sure you're familiar with the the Starsky and Hutch movie Yes. With Ben Stiller and and, I am familiar. Owen Wilson Yeah. Luke Wilson. I don't know which one, the Wilson Brothers. It looked just like that. It was maroon. Very cool. On the back window, you know, this is a 2 door, and so it had that little back window that was like a triangle that you could also roll down. Mhmm. It had written in red nail polish, Susie q.
Somebody had named that car Susie q. And you kept it? I went with it. I kept the Susie q part. Yeah. I I didn't I didn't scratch it off. That car end up getting stolen out of my mother's front yard, by the way, and I I miss it very much. I miss that car very much. 1993, the 1972 Mercury Montego GT Fastback. Back then, I thought I was going to be a chef Okay. Where I grew up with in Florida. I cooked in very busy
[01:35:34] Unknown:
Yeah. Can you still cook? Good. Very fast. I can still cook. Yeah. Pretty far. I don't care about fast. I'm not fucking going for a McDonald's. In in in the restaurants of Florida during tour season. It's a whole another mindset. You got to get the fucking cut out. You got to get it out. But are you good? Like, if I came to obviously, you're coming to ours, you're going to have roast lamb, and it's going to be phenomenal. You'll go, I can't believe I live without this for such a long time. You're a phenomenal chef, Max. You're so talented in so many ways. This is just delicious. If I went to yours,
[01:36:06] Unknown:
how much fucking hand holding do you need?
[01:36:10] Unknown:
It's okay because I'm saying it to myself. Is it like self actualization? Or what is it where people look in the mirror and they're like, you're enough. It's not you. It's it's them. It's everyone else. That kind of stuff. I'm smart enough.
[01:36:26] Unknown:
And gosh, John, if people like me, Yeah. Love yourself.
[01:36:30] Unknown:
Yeah. We don't really do that in England very much. So just sometimes I'll just, like, really imagine
[01:36:36] Unknown:
That was that. If I went to yours, would I be impressed? Would I go, wow. Actually, this is fucking what would be your signature dish? What would we? Oh, that's a great you know, because so many years, Sarah has taken over the cooking, and and she's so very good at everything. Mhmm. Makes the best spaghetti sauce, you know, for for a a a hunky you know, half hunky, half English white girl Mhmm. She can make some some meat meatballs. She make it a spicy meatball.
[01:37:04] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:37:06] Unknown:
Stuffed peppers is good. Her chicken noodle soup is so good. All Sarah's stuff is is straight banging. What is my specialty? I'm very good at cooking a steak. Oh, come on. Very good. Yeah, man.
[01:37:19] Unknown:
But that's an that's a that's an easy one. Oh, so you Although, Ashley you want me to say, like, oh, a a a a London broil, or you want some kind of dish. No. That's fine. I'll be very happy with the steak. I just I was expecting, like, as a chef, like, you might say more than that. I'm very good at cooking your steaks. Like, I'm very good at getting a grill up to the right fucking temperature, having a steak seasoned, and then putting it down. And then Me too. Actually, I was quite impressed with you were sending me pictures of your lunch the other day from your van and the fact that you had, like, a full setup in there, and you're actually just cooking a steak in your van. I was like, I like that. That I was impressed with that. So That's right. I cook a steak and eggs in the van.
That is good. I like that.
[01:38:05] Unknown:
Can we get back to this article I wrote?
[01:38:07] Unknown:
Sure.
[01:38:08] Unknown:
16 year olds don't tend to pay particular attention to national and global politics. The big stories of the year 1993 let's see if you know some of these, Max. Waco. Nope. Oh, it's a good special on Netflix. You should watch it. It'll piss you off. The first I know. I went to The First World Trade Center bombing. Did you know about that one? Nope. A guy drove, like, a U Haul truck into the parking garage of the World Trade Center. They were trying to soften us up for the for the real deal for 911. They're trying to get you used to it. Yeah. Okay. 1st World Trade debacle in 1993. The establishment of the European Union, maybe people remember that. Ish. The EU? Yep. It didn't use to exist. You guys all used to be separate countries. Still are, mate. Yeah. Yeah. Where you could represent yourselves and and, you get to decide at a more local level
[01:38:54] Unknown:
than everything coming from. You know what? The, the Europeans have got, like, really RC with the British about that. Like, hey. Nothing. They're all, like, quite sad about it. So now, yeah, now when we turn up to any of their airports, we've got to go in a separate line. Oh, that's kind of cool. It's proper it's proper races, though. It's like they have their fast EU stuff. It's like everyone can go through here, and then you got this slow, comfy, non EU section. So you've got to, like, you've got to go all slowly and they, like, question you a bit harder and, like, why are you coming here? How long are you gonna be staying? Who are you staying with? What's the purpose of your visit? Like, all that sort of stuff you'd get in America.
[01:39:34] Unknown:
So, yeah, they hate us, it seems. Oh, what a bunch of cunts. Yeah. How about the time for the cruise?
[01:39:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Sorry, kids.
[01:39:41] Unknown:
How about this? I don't even know if you know this one. NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Nope. That was a big one. Like, stuff used to be made in the United States. A lot of people don't know this, but after NAFTA made some good stuff. After Bill Clinton's son, they have to. Not anymore. Back down to Mexico. How about the killing of Pablo Escobar? 1993.
[01:40:03] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:40:04] Unknown:
Alright. So you know that. And if you ever wanna use a another one for you when you're waiting on someone, I think the Pablo Escobar one is the best. It's probably the best one. Yeah. No. I like the mister Bean one as well. Oh, definitely. That's a good one. He's got his little He's like waiting in the field, looking at his Yeah. Yeah. It's quite nice. How about the Oslo Accords?
[01:40:22] Unknown:
Mhmm. Don't do too much, though.
[01:40:25] Unknown:
Alright. That was some that was some Jew Palestinian drama. Okay. How does it work with those guys? Downing Street drama. Kiss and make up. They do. Get over it. Boys beefs. The Downing Street declaration. Again, don't know. Alright. That was that was some Northern Ireland stuff. I was hoping you'd know that. It's it's British drama. British Irish drama. Oslo Accords, Jew Palestinian drama. Mhmm. And 1993 was the year that the world wide web really started to become more widely used. So 1993 could be the 1st year this 16 year old pervert waited for a booby pick to download line Okay. By line by line by line. I wasn't even born. What's that? I wasn't even born.
He's sad. Sad little boy. Yeah. Little child. Only in your early twenties. Young and vibrant. Mhmm. As a kid, I suppose I understood that these things were happening and the events were happening around me. I was a smart kid, I think. So didn't I know? Despite the gravity of these world changing events, it's the scandals and gossip that tend to dominate in my memory, at least. Think about it if you're old enough. Do these things that we talked about previously dominate your memory? Shall we review the salacious stories of the time? Michael Jackson had sexual molestation with children, allegations cast against him. And that's the famous video where he said, I've never hurt a child.
[01:41:45] Unknown:
Never. Yee hee. Oh, very good. Got to beat that.
[01:41:53] Unknown:
The stabbing of tennis star, Monica Seles. That was a big deal. The feud between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. And then later on that next year, Nancy Kerrigan getting attacked by Tonya Harding's boyfriend, Jeff Gillooly. Hey. Did you hear Tonya Harding's boyfriend, Jeff Gillooly, bust up Nancy Kerrigan's ankle with a wrench? Jeff Gillooly? Oh, I saw that film, actually. Yeah. Well, you know about that. But you didn't. It wasn't Boswell, of course, were. I'm sorry. I don't know. This was a thing from back then, and I remembered Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold were getting a divorce. Don't even know who they are. I don't remember that one. Okay. Alright, Max. You are familiar with the Spice Girls? Very. Okay. Well, that's that's the year that they came out. I didn't know they were gay.
[01:42:39] Unknown:
It's so tiresome.
[01:42:41] Unknown:
Now bring up 1993, not only because it was a formative year in my life, but an image from that time is imprinted on my brain, Bat Boy. He was on the cover of Weekly World News in the early nineties. If you don't know who Bat Boy is, this is a a 19 nineties photoshopped tabloid cover of a child with these huge, giant eyes and sharp teeth and pointy bat ears. And apparently, they found him in a cave in West Virginia of all places. In West Virginia, Mount mama origin story. Yeah. I am bat boy. In 1993, they finally caught the little bastard as he was stranded on a roof of a house during a Mississippi flood. The FBI got him, but the Weekly World News was adding a little bit of X Files flavor for us because X Files was popular at the time. These stories were splashed across tabloids and TV screens. They captured Dormie's attentions in ways that drive political trees and economic policies simply couldn't and can't as I don't think we're wired that way.
Perhaps our wiring has been rearranged by numerous psyops, but I imagine we've always been this way. Who cares? The Normans are coming across the English Channel. I'm more concerned with whether Prince Humperdinck was humping Princess Buttercup. The psychology behind this is fascinating to me, at least. People are inherently drawn to narratives that are relatable, sensational, and evoke strong emotions, especially sexually charged ones. Like pigs, our baser instincts are to eat, sleep, and screw, and so perhaps those areas of our brain are easily stimulated. The image of bat boy splashed across the cover of weekly world news is permanently imprinted on my mind far more than the collectivization and elimination of individual country's sovereignty in Europe's new European Union.
A few weeks ago, on our various Bitcoin socials, everyone was obsessed with 1 of the PodConf approved douchebag think boys posting contrived photos of he and his prostitute eating pizza on Bitcoin pizza day. Well, as always, let the memeing begin. It's just another day on Twitter. But is it, and should it be? As every ungovernable misfit knows, samurai wallet and t. Dev have been wrongfully arrested and are locked in a cage. So many incredible privacy defenders have been doing their level best to bring focus to the samurai case. Among them, a good friend of the show, BC 1984 Adam, for 1, has been on a quest to get the attention of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who have been fighting for free speech and digital rights as well as fighting the digital ver surveillance state since the early nineties.
As a matter of fact, you see how this theme is coming together here, Max? It's beautiful, mate. You've done such a nice job with this. Thank you. Adam posted a tweet to get the attention of the EFF, adding everyone involved in the organization, sending good old fashioned emails, and it worked. He got an acknowledgment email from them, an acknowledgment email. Go to bc 1984 Adams page and read the acknowledgment email. Anyway, it's still a small step towards getting more eyes on their case. At the same time, he was getting the e f's EFF's attention. He was raising awareness of the p two p rights fund.
The peer to peer Rights Fund recognizes that there has been a shift in US regulatory perspective, treating developers of noncustodial Bitcoin tools as financial institutions, which could threaten the entire Bitcoin ecosystem, so they say. This regulatory stance misunderstands the technology that is Bitcoin, and it will impose undue regulations on various noncustodial tools and criminalize noncriminal noncriminal activity as well as make criminals of coders who are simply creating privacy tools. Please consider look it up. Please consider donating to p2prights.org.
That's p2prights.org. Consider this. Every time you get caught up in some fun Twitter drama or insignificant nitpicking spat with another pleb, that your time, energy, and attention are focused on batboy and not NAFTA. You think saying Jeff Gillooly is a lot more fun than saying Yasser Arafat. Okay. Well, they're both very fun to say, but you should be thinking more about Yasser Arafat than Jif Guludi. But it takes away your focus from more important happenings, like what is happening to samurai right now. People consume scandal like pigs at the trough, greedily gobbling up every juicy morsel of gossip and scandal.
They plunged their snouts into the slop, oblivious to the muck splattering around them. Driven by an insatiable frenzied and almost grotesque hunger for more. Bitcoiners appear to be no better than the gen pop, wallowing in sensationalism and ignoring the most substantial, albeit less pornographic events unfolding around them, like privacy and free speech under attack. You know the names, and you know their purpose. Divisionary tactics, infotainment, taploidization, spin, misdirection, yellow journalism, clickbait, misinformation, disinformation.
Bread and circuses. Always has been. Don't be a blind consumer, unaware of the world beyond your pen, beyond the trough you're likely holding in your hand right now. Don't be distracted by Bat Boy, and don't be a pig. Thank you for listening to this episode on the government's footsteps action news. It's been a good one, Max.
