Ungovernable Misfits

Verifiability of Supplyhttps://sethforprivacy.com/posts/dispelling-monero-fud/#you-cant-audit-the-monero-supplyhttps://www.moneroinflation.comThis is probably the most common point of FUD brought against Monero, and is caused by the complexity and nuance involved in understanding how supply audits work in cryptocurrencies.Monero’s supply can be easily audited by anyone running a Monero node, but this process does rely on the soundness of the monerod software implementation and the validity of cryptography used in range-proofs. These range-proofs allow it to be mathematically proven that the inputs and outputs of each transaction add up to zero without revealing amounts, ensuring that the supply is sound and not inflated in any way. Every node on the network is validating these range-proofs in each transaction every time a transaction is first seen, and validating all historical range-proofs when initially syncing.A manual audit is possible because coinbase transactions (those transactions that are mining rewards in each block including issuance + transaction fees) are intentionally transparent and amounts of these outputs are not obfuscated in any way. Monero users running a node can simply validate these totals on-demand, and all node owners are constantly verifying the amounts in transactions via range-proofs.Unlike Bitcoin, however, Monero users cannot simply do “napkin math” and validate the supply by manually adding up UTXO amounts, as transactions are never known-spent by the network, only by the parties involved in each specific transaction. This does force some added reliance on code/cryptography over Bitcoin, but as-of-yet I know of no onevalidating the Bitcoin supply this way. It does remain a valuable advantage of a transparent cryptocurrency, though it comes at the cost of the transactional privacy of every user in the system.GeneralNew primer on full-chain membership proofs available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc8Kc0WogAIFantastic Forbes article on Monero:https://www.forbes.com/sites/boazsobrado/2025/01/18/is-monero-keeping-bitcoins-cypherpunk-dream-alive/BTCPay team being amazing and migrating Monero support to a plugin for v2.xhttps://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/538#note_28197https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/pull/6535https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-monero-pluginNapoly and Deverick Apollo will help to transition the plugin to the Monero community and build out multi-wallet supporthttps://monero.observer/napoly-deverickapollo-ccs-proposal-develop-btcpayserver-monero-plugin/Software UpdatesHaveno keeps getting better and betterv1.0.18 released: https://monero.observer/woodser-releases-haveno-v1.0.18-fixes-improvements/Can now buy your first Monero without a security deposit by finding a seller and communicating a passwordhttps://monero.observer/haveno-v1.0.15-released-support-buying-monero-without-security-deposit/https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/1464#issuecomment-2545298727RetoSwap is the current live implementation of Haveno, have used to test and has been fantastic, quick, and easyhttps://retoswap.comMonero passphrase support in Cake Wallet v4.23.0Easy way to run a Monero daemon on your laptop or desktop gets even betterhttps://monero.observer/everoddandeven-releases-monero-daemon-gui-v1.1.0-toughness/Mining MoneroCPU mining vs ASICsp2pool vs solo miningMining via gupax on desktopshttps://gupax.ioMining via p2pool + xmrig on servershttps://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-p2pool-node/Mining Monero via decentralized p2pool keeps getting betterGupaxx update v1.7.0 released:https://monero.observer/cyrix126-releases-gupaxx-v1.7.0-ui-improvements-new-features-fixes/p2pool v4.3 released:https://monero.observer/schernykh-releases-p2pool-v4.3-initial-sync-improvements/XMRChat BoostsYou just leveled up Seth mentioned on MM01 that you can mine Monero on a laptop.

In this episode of PMM, hosts Jon and Max discuss Jon and Bassload's upcoming energy Q+A at Pubkey in New York.They DELVE into the Meshtadel Super Nodes: Ben Gunn's forestry and manufacturing ventures in the UK, and Untapped Growth's cattle ranching in Oklahoma, both seen as fostering community and self-sufficiency. The discussion touches on the challenges of finding reliable human capital for these initiatives, drawing parallels to the flaky nature of modern society.The episode also includes a philosophical musing from Bubba on simplicity versus complexity in intelligence. Jon shares his written piece on preserving punk culture through modern means, advocating for self-reliance, community building, and maintaining punk's rebellious spirit in today's context. They talk about maintaining emotional capital amidst the struggles of community building, the importance of not selling out, and encourage listeners to engage in activities like homesteading, learning new skills, and contributing to local communities as a new form of punk resistance. The episode concludes with an invitation to Lake Satoshi and a call to stay true to the punk ethos within the Ungovernable Misfits' community.[[LINKS]]VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym to JON @ https://paynym.rs/+idealpresident82- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/BIFROST MANUFACTURINGBifrost Manufacturing offers custom and mass-produced manufacturing services like CNC Plasma Cutting, Water Jet Cutting, Industrial and Consumer FDM services, DMLS printing, Welding and Fabrication, and product design and engineering.

In this episode, we welcome you  into the world of Monero, a cryptocurrency renowned for its privacy features. We start by discussing the basics of Monero, its role as a privacy token, and how it compares to Bitcoin. Co-host, Seth for Privacy, joins us as a new member of the Ungovernable Misfits crew, sharing his insights and experiences with Monero. The episode covers the history of Monero, its development, and the significant changes it has undergone to enhance privacy. 2024Conferences Monerotopia On/Off-ramps Growing atomic swap usage via UnstoppableSwap and BasicSwap https://unstoppableswap.net/ https://basicswapdex.com/ Launch of Haveno Reto https://retoswap.com/ Delistings https://x.com/schmidt1024/status/1867184034368926037 https://x.com/schmidt1024/status/1854951714152931385 Gate_IO perps Technical improvementsFCMP++ protocol development being finished https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/448#note_27450 Rapid funding of technical CCS requests Explain how the CCS works, funding in Monero, etc. Quickly funded! https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/518 Work on new addressing schemes that give drastically improved scanning key support JAMTIS and CARROT CARROT is the prevailing next step Attacks LinkingLion attacker running fake nodes to MitM real nodes https://thehackerblog.com/the-orphaned-internet-taking-over-120k-domains-via-a-dns-vulnerability-in-aws-google-cloud-rackspace-and-digital-ocean/ https://x.com/monerobull/status/1832807857332330843 https://b10c.me/observations/06-linkinglion/ Ban list now available, deployed on all Cake nodes and my node, instructions in show notes Cake Wallet DDoS https://x.com/sethforprivacy/status/1856311150796804538 Adoption Growing Monero usage for CoinCards, ShopInBit, MyNymBox Monerica popularity Barnjerky for monero UM clothing for monero CakePay growing, 4x since the beginning of the year Ecosystem growth Hardware wallet support for Monero on iOS in the latest Cake Wallet update Launch of XMRChat https://x.com/xmr_chat/status/1819935254922072144 Launch of XMRBazaar Launch of Cupcake open beta Passport Prime announcement Cake Wallet app on Prime w/ Monero support in March, GA in June2025 On/Off-ramps Launch of Serai? Technical improvements wallet2 improvements, drastically increasing sync speed by making the process of downloading/scanning blocks more async - jberman Adoption No KYC debit card that can be topped up with Monero in Cake Low limits, higher limits with KYC Ecosystem growth Launch of Cupcake full release Background sync for Monero Passport Prime shipping in March, Cake working on app w/ Monero supportThis episode is a comprehensive exploration of Monero's past, present, and future, offering valuable insights for both new and experienced users.[[LINKS]]VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE to Seth @ https://sethforprivacy.com/donate/- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/(00:00:00) INTRO(00:01:12) Welcome to the Crew, Seth!(00:10:45) Monero as Digital Cash and a Privacy Tool(00:17:33) Monero's History and Development(00:32:02) Monerotopia Was The Highlight | 2024(00:37:01) Max the Monero Dev (00:45:47) The Ramps: Atomic Swap Usage Go Up | 2024(00:55:19) The Ramps: Delistings Galore | 2024(01:02:51) Attacks on Monero | 2024(01:12:49) Technical Improvements & New Projects | 2024(01:22:16) Monero Adoption Rises | 2024(01:27:41) Monero Ecosystem Growth | 2024(01:37:46) Looking Forward to 2025(01:47:28) THANK YOU FOUNDATION(01:48:53) THANK YOU CAKE WALLET

In part 2 of the 2024 Year In Review, we check into the ever-changing landscape of Bitcoin mining statistics. Over the past year, the hash value has seen a significant drop, impacting miners' earnings. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in the mining industry, including the timing of buying mining gear and the innovative projects undertaken by the community, such as solar mining builds, Solo Sundays and yes.. shitaxes.It was the first year of a show dedicated to Meshtadel meanderings titled PMM, which stands for whatever you want it to stand for. Pastuerized Milk is Malnutrition, Pleb Made Mechandise, Personal Meshtadel Meetings...the list goes on. Anyways, it was  a great year for PMM, exploring many broad topics and creating a show that adds to the pulse of a cicrular economy. In 2025, we hope to add to that pulse.Lastly, we go over our specials that ended 2024 breaking down the Ashigaru episode and it's significance. Also, Foundation has a new device. Not sure if you knew! So check that out. It's been a wild ride of a year and we hope to keep the pace up for you guys in 2025. A lot of big things on the way and we hope you'll continue to support this grassroots initiative as much as you can.[[LINKS]]LINCOIN MINING Struggling to keep up with the mining scene? @lincoinmining provides cutting-edge software and strategies to maximize your ROI.

The Bitcoin Brief is a show hosted by Max and Bitcoin QnA. We cover important updates in the world of bitcoin and open source software. It is our imperative to provide some education along the way too, so that the misfits can expand their knowledge base and become more sovereign as a result.  We do this every second week to keep our listeners informed without having to dedicate hours every day to keep on top of developments. We break things down in a simple and fun way and we welcome questions or topic suggestions via Podcasting 2.0 boosts.SHOW DETAILS We discuss the recent events in New York, including a multisig workshop and a Bitcoin trivia night, highlighting the successful launch of Foundation's Passport Prime hardware.We explore the legal troubles of Craig Wright, who has been sentenced to a suspended prison term for contempt of court, and the ongoing legal battle involving Samurai Wallet, which has been postponed to March 2025. The episode also covers the positive news from the Tornado Cash case where a motion to dismiss was initiated by Roman Storm's legal team. Additionally, we discuss vulnerabilities in the Wabi Sabi protocol and the Lightning Network, urging users to update their software to protect their privacy and funds. The episode concludes with a festive AI-generated song written by Max, celebrating the ungovernable spirit of the podcast's community and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.[[LINKS]]SPONSORSFOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.
