Ungovernable Misfits

The month of September is dedicated to pleb miners who will not unplug nor comply. The backbone of the bitcoin network, dedicated to decentralisation and freedom. Today I caught up with Diverter, the godfather of Pleb mining to talk about mining for the streets and why it’s more relevant now than ever.    Here’s the opening paragraphs to jog your memory in case you have forgotten.    Don’t fall victim to the narrative pushers that would have you believe mining is “too hard”, “too expensive”, or “better left to the big players”. Sounds an awful lot like the same thing bankers and governments tell the masses about fiat money and economics now, doesn’t it?    For years the narrative that has been pushed regarding Bitcoin mining is that it’s a fool’s game, better left to the professional mining farms and big players due to shrinking profitability. This guide aims to show that this is overly simplistic and narrow-minded in its view. In fact, as ways to acquire BTC without going through the dangerous KYC/AML verification process shrink, mining becomes more and more intriguing for the average user. By having the ability to create an account with no real verification required, you can simply hook up ASIC miners, plug them into a mining pool, and begin receiving payouts for your provided hashpower directly into your personally controlled Bitcoin wallet without providing any KYC/AML identifying data to be scraped.   If you haven’t already read this incredible article I suggest you check it out and click the link below.     Link to article - https://ungovernablemisfits.com/mining-for-the-streets/    Show guest   twitter - @Diverter_NoKYC   twitter - @MaxBitbuybit twitter - @bitbuybitpod Website - https://ungovernablemisfits.com       As always please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.   Today you can exchange $1 for 5021 Sats (Sale ends soon.)   Thank you Foundation Devices for sponsoring the show.  Use code BITBUYBIT at check out for $10 off your purchase        

Pleb Miner Redux – What is a Bitcoin Miner.    The month of September is dedicated to pleb miners who will not unplug nor comply. The backbone of the bitcoin network, dedicated to decentralisation and freedom.   To kick things off @JonPDiGiacomo explains - what is a pleb miner……   “Who and What is a Pleb Miner”   The original Bitcoin miner, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Genesis Block with a reward of 50 Bitcoin, Bitcoin that can’t be spent as the Genesis Block is hardcoded into new nodes as the root of the blockchain. The signature of his mining was later analyzed by Sergio Lerner. He dubbed Satoshi’s miner as Patoshi and its signature as the “Patoshi Pattern”. The technique that Lerner used determined that Patoshi hashed a different set range of nonces. This behavior created a unique saw pattern in nonce data analysis. It’s estimated that he had up to 48 CPUs mining with another controlling the operation and/or on standby to protect against a 51% attack. Satoshi mined solo until he invited Hal Finney and Martti Malmi to join the network. Famously on January 10, 2009, at 10:33 PM, Hal Finney was “Runnin’ Bitcoin”. Soon others joined in.  It’s fascinating to look back at those first blocks: difficulty of 1, block reward 50 BTC, the delicate balance of the 10-minute mark not quite there yet. In reviewing this short Bitcoin history lesson, we bring light to the fact that Satoshi wasn’t running a giant mining operation with a cool name, a board with multiple investors, and billions in capital expenditures. He was possibly a guy in his basement or garage that he considered his lab. He shared the code with associates he knew online. Their goal was to discover blocks and secure the network. He mined because he was passionate about the innovation that he built. He was the original miner, he was a Pleb Miner. Sometime in May of 2010, Satoshi turned off the Patoshi miner, confident that he had passed the torch on to the next generation of miners……..   Link to full article bellow.   Link to article - https://ungovernablemisfits.com/pleb-miner-redux-what-is-a-bitcoin-miner/   Show guest   twitter - @JonPDiGiacomo   twitter - @MaxBitbuybit twitter - @bitbuybitpod Website - https://ungovernablemisfits.com       As always please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.   Today you can exchange $1 for 5021 Sats (Sale ends soon.)   Thank you Foundation Devices for sponsoring the show.  Use code BITBUYBIT at check out for $10 off your purchase

Bitcoin monthly 0019   In today’s episode I spoke to BQA and Antomous about tornado cash being shut down and the implications for users of ethereum. Although none of us use ETH it still shows the intent of governments around the world and is a good reminder why decentralisation and bitcoin are so important. We also talked about border wallets and updates to seed tools 2.0. We had a general conversation about the importance of privacy and potential ways businesses could help ensure bitcoin thrives. I went into some detail about the mining month coming up in September and Antomous had some updates on Vulcan21. As always I enjoyed speaking to these two and would urge anyone with questions to reach out my DM is always open.   Show guest   twitter - @BitcoinQ_A   twitter - @antomousB     twitter - @MaxBitbuybit twitter - @bitbuybitpod Website - https://ungovernablemisfits.com       As always please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.   Today you can exchange $1 for 4139 Sats (Sale ends soon.)   Thank you Foundation Devices for sponsoring the show.  Use code BITBUYBIT at check out for $10 off your purchase    

During the last bitcoin monthly I recorded with brother Rabbit and Antomous. we discussed Border wallets after listening to an incredible talk by MTC. I just had to get the exclusive with MTC who has teamed up with superphatarrow to create border wallets, a system to help users store private keys in their head allowing them to cross borders undetected and protected from attackers. Many people across the globe have to flee their countries to escape from war stricken countries or dictatorships. Many other users need to escape domestic violence or natural disaster, the system that MTC has come up with makes it possible for anyone to take their wealth with them even if they have nothing else. It is also very useful for inheritance planning and I just love how creative users can get with this. As always it was a pleasure speaking to MTC and I’d advise anyone listening to check this project out and if you find it of use I’d also urge anyone listening to consider donating to keep the project going. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.   Show guest   Website - BorderWallets.com   twitter - @GhostOfMtc   twitter - @superphatarrow   twitter - @borderwallets     Donation addresses    SPA +purplefire896 - PayNym Bot   MTC: bc1qceqjp8utx4ds0jx9r26aerxsy3pkaluzhuj95k   SPA: https://paynym.is/+purplefire896   MTC WoS permanent LN address earlyfighter41@walletofsatoshi.com   twitter - @MaxBitbuybit twitter - @bitbuybitpod Website - https://ungovernablemisfits.com       As always please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions.   Today you can exchange $1 for 4347 Sats (Sale ends soon.)   Thank you Foundation Devices for sponsoring the show.  Use code BITBUYBIT at check out for $10 off your purchase

Bitcoin monthly 0018   In this episode of bitcoin monthly I sat down in a field with @antomousB and @BrotherRabbit_ we talked about the bitcoin beach retreat as well as the monthly updates including security vulnerabilities and the shit show that is compass mining. It was such an amazing time being away around other bitcoiners in the sunshine. It was a great reminder what this movement is all about, to me it’s not just about bitcoin mooning but meeting other like-minded freedom loving individuals who can work together And create the world we wish to see. We also discussed podcasting 2.0 and different ways to support free and open source software, I think it’s a really important topic as this is the way we move forward. There were some incredible talks at the retreat including one on multi Sig from @nwoodfine another from @GhostOfMtc on memorising seed words I really hope you enjoy the show.
