UNGOVERNABLE episodes

July 31, 2024The Ebb & Flow | The Confab 05: Max Tannahill
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.

On this episode, Max Tannahill drops-in to speak with Max

Show Discussion

I. Looking Back

Reflections on how the Bitcoin space has changed over the past few years - Max notes that while some aspects have become more centralized, there are also interesting experiments happening on-chain that diverge from the common narratives.

II. What the Chain Explains

Concerns about censorship and the precedent set by the Ordinals situation - Both express frustration with the purity testing and ideological rigidity around how Bitcoin "should" be used.

III. Privacy Post-Whirlpool

Strategies for privacy and spending Bitcoin - They discuss the pros and cons of using tools like Lightning, Monero swaps, and gift cards/vouchers to maintain privacy and flexibility.

IV. Compliance Conundrums

Observations on the regulatory landscape and potential challenges around taxation and KYC requirements - They both anticipate increasing pressure from governments to monitor and tax Bitcoin holdings.

V. Tether Works

Exploration of alternative payment methods like using Tether as a bridge between fiat and crypto - Max shares how this can provide pragmatic solutions in certain use cases.

VI. Head Up

Reflections on the overall state of the Bitcoin ecosystem and the need to remain adaptable as the landscape evolves.

The conversation covered a wide range of nuanced topics related to the practical realities of using Bitcoin in the current environment. The main themes were navigating privacy, censorship resistance, and regulatory pressures.

We cover another excellent Bitcoin Bugle article from Rod Palmer – Miners Signal Support for Trump. Solo Sundays with Demand’s SV2 and guide by Urban Hacker. Jon gives an update on his trip to Mining Disrupt. Miners feel major pain, meh, no biggie, we’re used to it. Miners diversify their focus into AI cloud mining, LoD helps miners do this, but some like Marathon go straight to shitcoins. As always, Pleb Miners have a great opportunity to diversify by capturing waste heat. Stretch your cold fist with an Avalon Nano 3 in your backdoor. Altair and Barn bring Hash the Torch to a new level. Paying miners for the privilege to HODL? wanna be gangster David Scalzo writes an article for BM.

Intro: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes & Jon & Max – I Hate You (Globalists)

What’s been going on with the Meshtadel?
Not a whole hell of a lot, but a the same time a whole hell of a lot. The Meshtadel gets this way for the Northern Hemisphere Meshtadelians, we’re all very busy doing various summer things. Our last call was just a chat and honestly it was really nice to simply bullshit with friends. We’ll get back to a Meshtadel where we cover a specific topic on the next one, but certainly appreciate commiserating and bonding with friends when we have an informal one.

Phrequency Mode of Molecules
Alright Profesora Bass-to-the-load, we are going to take your periodic table of elements boosts to a whole-nother-LEVEL by displaying Max’s freakish ability to identify an element simply by the sound of it’s vibration. Turns out Max can see, hear, taste, and feel the distinct difference between elements. It’s a great dinner party trick.

Phonotherapy Megahertz & Meditation
We discuss cymatics or the study of visible sound and vibration and how sound affects the human condition.

Plebs Mentally Malfunctioning
Are our cell phones emitting a certain frequency that increases estrogen production? It is exceptionally easy to set plebs off in the wrong direction and convince them to cannibalize each other instead of staying focused on our enemies and/or taking care of our families and building relationships withing our local and extended Meshtadels.

The Proper – Pleb Mental Mindset
How do we stay focused on our important tasks? How do we keep our metal state healthy and strong? Perhaps phonotherapy can help, or just stop being a little bitch, man up!

Parenting Mentorship & Memory
A few years ago, Jon’s #2 girl interviewed Max but that episode never aired as the recording was wrought with corruption. Children have a way of holding on to thing and she has never let Jon forget that that episode never aired. She asked and received the go-ahead from Max to do another interview.

Petulant Moody Man-Child
Once again Jon and Max share stories of men that just aren’t going to make it during societal collapse.

Perturbed & Maddened Misfits
Charles Francois Bienvenue Myriel writes another incredible article for Ungovernable Misfits called Channeling Anger – Live by Truth. Charles advises that uncontrolled anger leads to mind control and self-sabotage. Being calculated, careful, patient, and low time preference is the path forward. You can read all of Charles’ article on Ungovernable Misfits under “Misfit Rants”.

ACTION NEWS!!! Is your source for news on the #Bitcoin mining scene! Statistics, #Bitcoinmining news, energy market alpha, comedy relief and as always, witty banter between Jon and Max.

Gear Up!! Ungovernable Misfits style! Rat Poison eh? Yeah we got your RAT POISON RIGHT HERE!!!

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.

Altair gives us the skinny on the mining industry: Be on the lookout for an Altair designed smart PDU

The state of Oklahoma passes a bill that blesses home mining (yay plebs) if local noise ordinances are followed and permits It also ensures fair zoning practices, protects against discriminatory electricity rates, and exempts miners and Noderunners from needing a money transmitter license and liability for transaction validation.

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.
