In this confab, Max catches up with Chet—long-time friend of the show, pleb miner mafia stalwart, and one of the most hands-on mining pioneers around. We reflect on the evolution from pleb to pioneer, the value of craft mastery, and the realities of living like a “mining monk” to keep uptime high. Chet opens up about humility in markets, his thesis on used miner pricing, why community matters more than adulation, and how building a circular economy means choosing who you spend your sats with. We dig into balance, burnout, OPSEC trade-offs, and finding purpose beyond number go up—whether that’s family, fitness, or a well-built deck at home.Max and Chet also dive into gas mining as the next scrappy frontier, mineral rights and licenses, and how Big Tech’s energy appetite will reshape competition. On the privacy front, they discuss Ashigaru’s rebirth of the Samourai-style toolset (including its new Whirlpool), practical wallet setups with Cake Wallet and node linking, and the importance of meetups like Lake Satoshi for real-world learning. It’s a candid, wide-ranging chat on building, belonging, and the grind required to make Bitcoin living, not just Bitcoin listening.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 Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://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.

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. In this Bitcoin Brief, Q and Max dive into the escalating Core vs. Knots debate, sparked by leaked DMs suggesting a potential hard fork proposal from Luke Dashjr to address CSAM-related concerns via a trusted multisig and ZK proofs. We unpack why leaking private messages is a bad precedent, the slippery-slope risks of any centralised arbiter of “bad data,” and how such a scheme could fracture consensus and even create a hard fork. From there, we lay out both sides: Core’s view that fees are the real spam filter and that relaxing/removing the OP_RETURN relay limit nudges non‑monetary protocols toward a less harmful data path; and Knots’ view that node-level filters express sovereignty, reduce bloat, and protect network integrity. We also explore why spam is subjective, why whack‑a‑mole filtering doesn’t work against out‑of‑band miner deals, and the economic incentives that may still push data into discounted witness space despite OP_RETURN becoming more permissive.They present a pragmatic take on peer‑to‑peer exchanges like Peach and RoboSats: they improve personal privacy versus centralised KYC, but they’re not magic cloaks against governments or banks—use them thoughtfully, consider dedicated accounts, and prefer gift cards for day‑to‑day fiat spend. Rounding out the brief are updates: Peach adding buy‑side offers; Fulcrum v2.0 improving database reliability; Liana RC2 and Nunchuk’s new Miniscript templates (including time‑locks—use with care); and the Mostro v1 mobile app for Nostr‑native P2P trading. We close with notes on Ark developments from Bull Bitcoin and a deep dive piece on Ark and Spark channel factories.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE 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 Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://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.

In this candid, free‑wheeling conversation, Jon and Max explore what happens when people who simply want to be left alone are pushed too far—and how that pressure cooker connects to young men, internet culture, and real‑world resilience. They reflect on the importance of physical labour, sport, mentorship, and male rites of passage as antidotes to fragility and online cattiness. From dogs and pecking orders to construction sites, ranges, and rugby pitches, they draw lines between embodied challenges and the concept of bullying. Jon and Max close with a heartfelt tour through listener boosts, a poetic field report from a visit to Ben Gunn’s citadel, and a call to live not by lies (Charles Myriel), stand tall, and keep building—locally, practically, and with courage.ARTICLESLIve Not By Lies by Charles Myriel: https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/live-not-by-lies/Would Became Is - Through Wood and Code by Soulexporter: https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/would-became-is-through-wood-and-code/IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE 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/ALTAIR TECHNOLOGIESAltair Tech is your one-stop shop for pleb mining supplies.

Max sits down for a proper chat with Business Cat—cohost of Rock Paper Bitcoin and founder of the Central PA Bitcoin Meetup—to unpack his big thesis: cyclical pole shifts and what that could mean for human survival. We explore physical evidence claims (from Arctic fossil layers and flash-frozen mammoths to wave erosion on ancient structures), the mechanics of geomagnetic excursions and potential crustal movement, and why some modern elites might be digging underground or racing to space. Business Cat outlines a pragmatic, hopeful preparedness mindset: focus on high ground, redundancy (including floating platforms), skills, community, and sovereignty—while noting why Bitcoiners, with their self-reliance and antifragile tech instincts, are unusually well placed for turbulent decades ahead.We also touch homeschooling, meetups, and practical steps for resilience: food, water, tools, fitness, neighbourly collaboration, and measured use of sats to build capability. Whether or not you buy the full pole-shift model, it’s an engaging framework for long-term thinking, with pointers to dig deeper. A glass-half-full take on uncomfortable possibilities—and a call to prepare without becoming paralysed.BUSINESS CAT: https://x.com/_business_catROCK PAPER BITCOIN: https://x.com/RokPaperBitcoinWORLD IN PERIL BY KEN WHITE: https://annas-archive.org/md5/e49d21b4d4df3529a351dd0ce0454e0aCENTRAL PA MEETUP: https://www.meetup.com/central-pa-bitcoiners/ 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 Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://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.

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. In this shorter Bitcoin Brief catch‑up, we dive straight into the latest on Passport Prime: Foundation has completed a third‑party security audit for KeyOS, is squashing final bugs, and is testing a bulletproof firmware‑update flow before giving the factory the green light. While early‑access units have slipped from initial estimates, the team stresses security parity with Passport Core, continued transparency, and a no‑questions‑asked refund policy for those who prefer not to wait. We then unpack last week’s NPM supply‑chain scare that briefly impacted Ethereum‑focused flows; despite the rapid containment (netting attackers mere cents), it’s a timely reminder to use hardware wallets for significant funds and to verify amounts, fees, change, and destination addresses on every send.On policy, we examine the resurfacing “mixer rule” push in the US that would effectively criminalise mainstream privacy behaviours on public blockchains—potentially sweeping up CoinJoin/PayJoin, address freshness, swaps, and simple transaction splitting—highlighting why principled privacy and robust, neutral protocols matter. We field a listener question on making Lightning more accessible, weighing today’s trade‑offs between self‑hosting and managed hubs (e.g., Alby), and the convenience of Phoenix/Zeus, with an eye toward emerging designs like Ark/Spark. Rounding out with releases: Cake Wallet’s Pay Anything (seamless cross‑asset paying), native Tor on iOS, and Cupcake for air‑gapped signing; Craig Raw’s Frigate Electrum server experiment for efficient Silent Payments scanning; and Braiins Deck, a tidy desk display for price, mempool, and mining stats. Boosts, meets, and a reminder: stay vigilant, stay private, and keep building.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE 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 Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://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.
