  • Cluck Off | PMM 12
    In this episode, Jon and Max explore the idea of social capital and its significance in creating resilient networks of trust and support, especially in times of societal upheaval. They also look into the practicalities of starting a small-scale chicken farm, discussing the balance between effort and reward, and the importance of not overcomplicating things.

     LAKE SATOSHI

    Lake Satoshi is a private lake located on 130 acres of land in Mid-Michigan. Originally a gravel pit, Lake Satoshi has since evolved into a tranquil oasis for those who love the great outdoors and Bitcoin culture.

    With the growing popularity of Bitcoin, Lake Satoshi has become a hub for like-minded individuals to network, camp, collaborate, and enjoy all that the property has to offer.

    The Annual Lake Satoshi Retreat is a unique weekend-long event in August (8/02). Tickets are available and can be paid with bitcoin. YOU MAY ALSO PAY IN CASH UPON ARRIVAL. Camping all weekend, BBQ + BTC speaker panels Saturday, and breakfast Sunday all included.

  • Stolen Funds & Shutdowns | MONERO MONTHLY 05
    Join us for Monero Monthly, your go-to show for a roundup of the latest happenings in the Monero ecosystem. Hosts Max and Seth bring you up to speed on everything from software developments and updates to cutting-edge hardware and emerging businesses.

    General
    Monero's 11th birthday
    • Monero launched on April 18th, 2014 by thankful_for_today
      • https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.0
    • Code fork of Bytecoin, was basically a scam created from an amazing whitepaper (Cryptonote) and extensively pre-mined/lied about
    • Monero has continued to consistently and effectively iterate and improve over those 11y
    Monero pumping?!?
    • Most likely caused by a major theft of 3520 BTC, which was then supposedly swapped entirely to Monero via instant exchangers
      • https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1916756932763046273
    • Zachxbt uses Monero for payments "frequently"
      • https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1916803068261458010?t=CKSXcDMsYdTmGjTcSHQP3Q&s=19
    Exodus wallet dropping Monero support
    • August 10th deadline
    • Migration to Cake is their recommended path
    • No conspiracy theories that I know of, have worked closely with them on the migration path
    • https://monero.observer/exodus-to-end-support-monero-10-august-2025/
    Exch instant exchange shutting down
    • Very antagonistic in the past
    • Refused to block or freeze funds from the ByBit hack, broadly used to move funds to other cryptocurrencies, including Monero
    • Many centralized services and exchanges marked their funds as tainted immediately after their handling of the ByBit hack, neutering the usefulness of swapping through eXch overall
    • Supposedly being targeted by a "transatlantic operation", no real evidence provided but after ByBit hack funds moved through them it's not impossible
    • https://monero.observer/exch-instant-exchange-to-shut-down-may-1-2025/
    Software updates
    Monero v0.18.4.0
    • DoS vulnerability fix
      • Was widely deployed via my Docker image and by most popular node operators, including Cake, before this public release
    • Background sync w/ view key only
      • This is how Cake Wallet is doing background sync
    • Drastically improved disk writes necessary when synchronizing a Monero node
      • Less wear on disks, slightly faster
    • https://monero.observer/monero-v0.18.4.0-fluorine-fermi-released/
    Cake Wallet v4.25, 4.26, and 4.27 and new brand
    v4.25
    • New logo
      • Talk about new brand
    • Drastically improved Monero wallet performance, especially for wallets with extensive history
    • Broad UI/UX enhancements
    v4.26
    • BIP 39 seeds and wallet groups for Monero
    • DFX's OpenCryptoPay
      • Open standard for simple integration of Bitcoin/Monero payments into traditional PoS systems
      • Rolling out to all Spar stores in Switzerland, getting a ton of publicity
      • Only Cake Wallet supports it natively, but Lightning wallets with LN-URL support don't require direct integration
    • Drastically improved address display, using the Bitcoin Design guidelines as seen in Trezor and Foundation hardware wallets
    • Drastically simplified buying/selling of crypto
    V4.27
    • Drastically improved background sync
      • Limit to wifi-only, charging-only, inactive-only, etc.
      • Supports all cryptos now, except Decred
      • Fixes a bunch of edge cases and rare bugs with background sync
    • Lots of minor improvements and bug fixes

  • Barn Born Bitcoin | The Confab 18: Barnminer

    Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

    The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions.  So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.



    We welcome friend of the show Barnminer back for an episode of the Confag. Barn and Max talk about mining setups, beef jerky, classic cars, monero and lightning.
