(00:00):
Alright, Max. I can't be bothered with any bullshit today. There's no conversation. We're just getting right into the show. Is that right? That's
charming. Hi. This is Action News. We're charming.
You can tell so by our Ashlutz ad,
which I I have now, you know, adopted this as being our intro for the show,

(00:22):
our Hashlots ad,
which won't play for some reason. I don't know.
Does that play?
Yeah.
For your pleasure,
Ungovernable Misfits presents the world's only Bitcoin mining here at Strip Club. Hashluts
gentlemen's club. Hashsluts.

(00:43):
Hashsluts.
Hashsluts.
Hashsluts. Where our ladies are hot. But our hash bores are even hotter, cranking out 85 degrees.
Very hot.
No way, pal. Celsius.
85 degrees c.
Overclocking?
More like overclocking.
Oh, that Tammy. If you think the last difficulty adjustment was hard, check out the Hashlutz

(01:06):
Rockin' Bonds.
And speaking of difficulty adjustment,
it's not the only thing that'll be going up.
Going up?
How about going down?
Going down? Going down on our famous all you can eat buffet, that is. Try out our signature nacho dish, guac and Asic chips. How many can you fit on your board? You got some on your chin. Let me get that. Thanks, Demi.

(01:31):
We've got racks full of servers and girls
with full racks.
We'll keep you running at peak efficiency
all night.
So come on down to Hashlucks Gentlemen's Club, the only place where your layer two will make you wanna lair
two.
Hashlucks Gentlemen's Club. Woo. Woo.

(01:59):
The vision of Hashsluts gentlemen's club is the only thing that's keeping me going right now, Max. This is every all all of our goals that we're working
towards eventually lead
to opening the doors of Hashlutz gentleman's club.
I look forward to it sitting there with a cigar and a whiskey. Yeah. That sounds nice.
It'd be lovely.

(02:20):
Although, we always say this
that we love the pain. I'm sure they can provide that if that's what you're into.
You gotta sign a waiver, pal.
Debbie, get the waiver form. Thanks, Debbie.
It's not Debbie.
I'm a bitch.
Tammy. Tammy and Debbie. You know, those are two real names.

(02:44):
I was going down to take a break pool hall, and there I met Tammy and Debbie. And they're always gonna have a Polish name.
Tammy and Debbie are the Wojcickowski sisters.
I didn't really know until you mentioned it that it was, like, so heavily Polish there. Yeah. It's heavily Polish. We used to live in Polish Hill. Around where I was in The UK, it was very Polish.

(03:05):
Why?
They say why why do these these countries pick
one other place to move to? Like, yeah. Let's go to UK. Okay.
Let's all go. Whole neighborhood.
You had, like,
a load of Polish people coming over.
They would earn a fuckload more money in The UK than they would in Poland. Mhmm.

(03:26):
What I think happened was there was, like, a real thing where everyone was hiring a Polish builder Mhmm. Like, as if it gave you some sort of qualification
or something like that. But what it was generally is less so now because they've all sort of acclimatized, but they all actually worked hard. So they would turn up on-site.
That's the trick. Yeah. Because someone's paying me money,

(03:49):
so I will do things for that money.
That's
a really cool concept here. Fucking crazy.
The Brits obviously didn't really do that. The British builders are like, yeah. Can you be on-site at nine? And they'd be on at, like, you know, ten. Mhmm. About to do this, and they go, oh,
we forgot we needed this. Oh, we're gonna have to go down to Screwfix.

(04:13):
And they'd fuck off for, like, another two hours. And then, of course, when they come back, it's like, oh, it's lunchtime now. So they go have their lunch, their cup of tea. They work like hobbits.
What about second breakfast?
Literally.
Then what happened was a couple of people hired Polish, and they were like, oh my god. These guys are fucking way cheaper,

(04:33):
and they actually do work. And the Polish were like, hold on. We're earning, like, five times what we were in Poland, and this is easy work. So that happened, and then loads of people came over, and then they realized, oh, this is England. So, like, you don't actually have to work. So what we'll do is we'll we'll charge British prices now, and we'll be lazy cunts too. So that's kind of what happened. Inevitably. Yeah. Yeah. Well, all all of our polls came over in the early nineteen hundreds. Okay. You know, they're third, fourth generation at this point. They're just giant pieces of shit.

(05:02):
Yeah. They're lazy too. What I found is Bruton. And dumb. And dumb. Oh, they are dumb. That's what we say. Yeah. That's what we say.
Yeah. Big big dumb pollock. The colder the weather,
the harder the worker.
That's what I've generally found. Like, especially in Europe, the further you go into the cold,

(05:24):
the harder they work. And the more like
Spain and Italy is like manana manana. They're like, fucking don't get out of bed. They can't be out. Everything's late. Everything's tomorrow.
Sure. Nothing gets done. If you want something done, you find someone. You get them in the coldest fucking climate possible.
Mhmm. Too bad we no longer are sponsored by Bifrost manufacturing because that's exactly where I would insert the Bifrost manufacturing ad read. It would have been sweet. Well, you guys can think about it. We'll always welcome you back. Yeah.

(05:54):
Dummies.
You dummies. You missed out on a good ad read.
Alright. What are we gonna talk about this in the show? Not much not much, guys. Listen.
Listen. Well, Max knows. I got shit going on that as I keep saying, I'm not ready to talk about, but it's it's a big project for me, for my little ass, and

(06:16):
I just stressed out. I don't have the the, like, full,
you know, half day, full day that I used to take to prep these shows.
So you're just getting what is on the tip of my mind, like,
two hours before we record. That's that's always a question.
Apparently,
yeah. Apparently, Tammy and Debbie Wojcickowski down at Hashlucks.

(06:40):
So what's on my mind now?
You you like Tammy and Debbie Wojcickowski? Yeah. They're hot. Yeah. We're hot. Tammy Tammy was hot before she had a kid. You know? When she popped out that first puppy, forget about it.
She gained a good fifty, sixty pounds. We're gonna talk about the statistics.
I don't know. Statistics is fucking

(07:02):
boring right now. Only because, you know, there was times where statistics where we had, like, these super
spiky,
transaction fees, and we got to talk about ordinals, and we got to talk about everybody getting triggered and shit because we we don't get emotionally wrapped up in the, you know, the NPC bullshit of the day. Mhmm. We'll just more make fun of it. And so everybody got wrapped up in ordinals, so we got to talk about people getting super excited about ordinals and stuff like that. But as far as statistics

(07:28):
go, I don't know. Not much like this. The ones they had to hash mark was met according to some people. We got a good boost in here, which from,
I can't know if I could say this guy's last name. I I wonder hold on. Let me scroll down for a second.
Average Gary.
He does the math podcast with fundamentals. I don't know if he uses his last name. But, anyway, he he makes a good point here in the boost. Hash rate is all guessing, no concrete measuring, which is true. So everybody's coming up. So over we hit a Zeta Hash, and and you and I, a few months ago, sometime last year, we're talking about the Zeta Hash thing. And I was like, when I see a thirty day moving average over Zeta Hash, then I'll get excited about it. Okay. Besides that, statistics isn't very isn't very kinky

(08:12):
right now.
It's a shame. And I I know you like kinky. Of course, I do. Who doesn't?
Sign the waiver. Davey, get that waiver for Max. What do you want your safe word to be? I don't want a safe word.
Oh, fuck.
That's another waiver. Maybe that's the Zeta Hash. There you go.
Zeta Hash.

(08:32):
Yeah. I don't know. You didn't pronounce it right. You're stumbling. I'm gonna do the whole episode in a Pittsburgh accent for some reason. No. Please don't. Please don't. Why are you so against it? I don't know. I don't know. It's interesting. It's too much. You're you're a fucking racist. Yeah. That's what I have determined.
Yeah. My friends at Linkcoin
load Clode just signed a big deal with Bitforms.

(08:54):
Bitforms is a pretty decent sized operation. I think by the end of the year, they project to have a gigawatt worth of power
consumption. They do all kinds of things. It isn't just Bitcoin mining.
And by the looks of things, they haven't gone to Link Coin pool. So perhaps they're just using their, their own pool. Okay. Solo mining, personally mining, whatever you wanna call it, and, are using loads

(09:17):
demand response functionality
and efficiency
tools. So we'll talk about that. When you said, load signed a big deal, I thought you were talking about ungovernable misfits.
Did we sign a big deal? Yeah. We just resigned with them. Oh, that's true.
It's it's us.
We're we're the big deal. Yeah. I was like, oh, I don't know. That's a bit of a stretch, mate.

(09:41):
Link coin just signed a big deal. Penned a deal for a whole year of sponsorship on Uncoverable Misfits.
Action news. Which is also true. I think in in their heart, signing with Uncoverable Misfits for another year is a bigger deal, but maybe not in their checkbook. It's not all about the numbers.
It's how it makes them feel. Yeah. Oh. Mhmm. Any the how deep your fish should sell you wiggle your worm.

(10:07):
Is that what you meant to say? No.
No. Okay. Bid farms is neat because they get, like, some coal fired power plant stuff going on here in Western Pennsylvania
and out in Eastern Pennsylvania too. Not that I give a shit about Eastern Pennsylvania. To me, the rest of the state could blow up for all I give a shit. Okay. Western
PA. They get two sites in Western PA. And

(10:29):
interestingly enough, we'll move on to the next thing I'm gonna talk about.
I went to go visit Chet. He was working at a natural gas mine turning up a hydro container a few weeks ago, and I was like, you know what? I'm a take a vacation day, and I'm gonna come and, visit you and hang out for a little bit. And one of these coal fired power plants that Bitfarms is running is,

(10:49):
well, jeez,
He's like,
I don't know, ten, fifteen miles from where I was visiting Chet that day. How was Chet?
We'll talk about that later on in the episode. These are just the teasers. We can't Okay. Okay. Can't get caught up.
Wintertime is over. I've turned off all my machines at the house because I no longer need them. And, I would like to talk a little bit about working on your infrastructure

(11:13):
during this time for the people that are have turned down things because they're not doing any talk. After that,
we'll do the same thing. We'll focus on physics a little bit.
I text you the other day, like, hey. I just can't I and you know this. Think everybody that knows me knows this. I can't take all the bid ax talk, and I can't take all the pool centralization

(11:35):
talk anymore.
Yeah. It's quite good.
Over it. Yeah. Totally over it. So,
I wanna focus on physics
because that used to be really important to us. Mhmm. And then everybody, it's I guess after a while, physics is boring, and you you live off the drama.
Mhmm. Isn't that the way with all of this stuff?

(11:55):
It is a little bit. I'd like to you wanna do the physics side. I want to get back to covering some of the smaller, more innovative builds.
Mhmm.
Anyone who listens to the show and they have
a cool, interesting build where they're using maybe the heat from their machines to do something clever,

(12:17):
heating their house, drying jerky,
drying bud, doing something interesting,
then let us know. We'd like to cover it. I met a guy at Pubkey
in March who I invited into the Meshedale recently who was drying,
wood. Oh. He was doing, like, a pre Kiln. Pre kiln kind of deal. Okay.

(12:38):
And,
I think I brought him into the Meshedel.
Oh, I don't think I brought him into the Meshedel signal group. This is the problem with I knew this was going to happen when everybody decided that they wanted to create the Meshedel signal group, and I was like, okay. Well, I'm gonna keep the lights on here on in the Telegram group and and on the Ungovernable Misfits Radio network. Mhmm. But there's always gonna be these disconnections. So here now, I have to be this conduit between the two things. I was like, I told him about Ben Gunn. I was like, oh, you guys should talk. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Might be able to get some tips and tricks from him because he's,

(13:10):
he's big time. Big time pain in the ass. Is that right? Yeah. Why? Because he he's got a saucy mouth. He's got a saucy mouth. He's,
just an annoying guy. He's just very annoying. I was speaking to him earlier.
Unfortunately, I'll be seeing him quite soon, I think. He's gonna come for a visit. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Very annoying. He knows about timber. Come to visit your new place

(13:32):
in El Salvador.
Yes.
Beautiful El Salvador. Do you like how I've got rid of the bird noises because,
you were whinging? Yeah. I didn't like it. The problem was the editing. If your mic was on the entire time,
it wouldn't have been an issue. But when you mute and then you come back, it it was It's a bit jarring. It's a bit jarring. Yeah. Mostly d. I don't know if anybody else had a problem with it. Well, everyone else really liked it. I got loads of messages from people who really enjoyed it. And then I thought, well, I'll do it half the time and half the time I won't. And then I thought, well, what I'll do is I'll do it when I record with you because it will wind you up, and that's fun.

(14:11):
And then I thought, do you know what? He's a bit precious at the moment. He's a bit stressed. He's a bit tired.
And although it'd be really funny for
me, I can't do that to you. Hey.
Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. Well, I appreciate you. And so I'm sat in a bathroom
recording at the moment. Is that right? This is what you've done. You've done man. And I took a shit in there about fifteen minutes ago, so it's not exactly fresh. Fragrant.

(14:40):
That's what I'm doing for you. Thanks, buddy. I love you. That's okay. I love you too. And to close the show, I don't have a piece written or anything. If I had time, I'd have wrote a nice little piece.
But don't close yourself off
to everybody.
When things get stressful like, I I got a call the other day, and this is this starts why I'm why I want to talk about this.

(15:02):
And it it's from
a dear friend,
and he says, man, what's what's up, Johnny d? You just don't seem you just don't seem around anymore.
And I said, I'm around. You know? I just I just don't have any energy to put towards
talking or chatting.
Mhmm. And he's like, you alright? I said, yes. You know, I'm alright. And then I thought, well, I still need I I can buckle down and work, but I can also still be, like, a little bit open to people.

(15:30):
Mhmm. So
maybe we'll talk about that because
keeping these connections open and and keeping your heart open
during times where you really buckled down or times that you're stressed out,
you can still lean on people. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I always have this tendency where where
I I gotta be the guy that people, like, go to to talk about stuff.

(15:51):
Mhmm. But I I never ask anybody for anything. And then and then I think, well, that that's not good.
It's not that's not a real relationship.
No. It has to be reciprocal.
Yeah. We'll talk about that a little bit because I'm sure you got a lot of stuff to say about that particular topic as well. You know, I'm I'm I'm a lean on you. I'm a lean on you a little bit the next couple months for these these shows, this mesh metal and and action news shows. Okay. Time to pick up your game.

(16:21):
What game? Yeah. I don't know. Well, you can start with your boost reading game.
Avril
from altairtech.io.
Never heard of them. Use code ungovernable.
With 90,000
sets, big baller.
Stay ungovernable,
my friends.
And then two little clinking champagne glasses. Don't know if champagne is that ungovernable.

(16:47):
I guess it is. Well, I think for as far as clinking glass go gifts,
clinking
glass emojis go, I think you only have two choices.
Champagne or beer.
Yeah. I guess I'd probably go champagne over beer to be fair. Okay.
Great grand man
with 50,000
sats.
I hang out for action news every bloody month.

(17:10):
Best show on the wireless.
Whilst the show might not be your top priority
on a monthly basis, I assure you that you're
you're a pro
Dyslexic.
Oh my god.
I like it. Is dyslexia mixed with a tiny screen that's very far away? Because my setup is a bit janky here.

(17:32):
I assure you that you're appreciated in this household.
Your voices get me chuckling,
Disappointed
not to hear from
Kanan this month, though.
I love that voice.
Ah, yeah. You like that, baby.
Your voices are so fine.

(17:52):
Keep up the great work. Use twos.
He's a mixed in a little bit of,
you know, Chinese
accent in New Jersey. Why not? Go for it, brother.
Jordan.
In Also never heard of him. Jordan.
In future episodes, you will see
these new splits,
10%

(18:13):
for free samurai,
ten percent for Bitcoin bugle,
10%
for ex patriotic
Using at get albi, we have created
a subaccount
with the l n address,
free samurai at getalbi.com
on our albi hub, which will take these boosts,

(18:33):
streams, and donations, and then send them over to p two p rights fund at the end of every week. The bugle is getting 10% because we want to support independent
journalism and 40 per week. Expatriotic
is a new member of the Uncoverable Crew and longtime booster. He'll be helping with creating written material and presentations

(18:54):
that can be used at your local meetups
to educate others on tools such as Ashigaru,
Dojo, Zeus,
etcetera.
I don't know, mate. That sounded a bit cucked.
Moving on. Bugle news, forty hours per week. Max,
credentials mean you have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in journalism. It takes proof of work.

(19:17):
Shadrach boosted 21,093
sets. Thank you, Shadrach.
Rod Palmer from Bewell News.
Proud to be a part of your v for v network, fellas. Agree.
Mister Fundamentals said there's no competing with Pies on listening to podcasts, and now there's no competing to top his boosts. That's true.
Mhmm. And he,

(19:37):
also respects
Piesapple Express.
I mean, that's pretty creative. See what fundamentals did there? Piesapple.
Very good. Yeah. Late stage Huddl boosted 15,000 sats.
No message.
Very
disappointing,
sir.
Guilt trip. Guilt trip. Guilt trip. BTC speedboat said, no Wu Tang cobra strikes was depressing, John, but another 10,000 sass for DMX rough riders.

(20:04):
He likes to hear,
you cobra strike. We're doing this we're doing this in North Dakota
where I
was recreating the habu mongoose fights that I've seen in in Okinawa. You know? Mhmm.
Have,
pit these poor animals against each other. Yeah. It's nothing. It's really sad.

(20:24):
Telling them the apparently, BTC speedboat has has, like,
killed the largest rattlesnake in the state of Georgia or something like that. It was a real news article. So we were sharing stories about killing snakes because I was,
I did a,
a training exercise with the Thai recon marines,

(20:45):
and we they had a box of cobras,
and, like, each fire team had to kill a cobra.
So I killed the cobra for my fire team. So I'm telling that story. How telling you the cobra? Snake story.
The I cut it set off with a with a k bar. So I killed it.
Wow.
That's me. You know? What a cobra ever do to you? It was part of the whole training exercise. So initially, the training exercises, there were no food for the entire week. Like, you had to live off the jungle. So they started you off with some food.

(21:15):
And it was a cobra
and, like, a little bag of rice.
That's all you got.
So for the bag of rice, you'd like cut a piece of bamboo
and then take that bamboo section and then cut a little door in it and pour some rice and water in it. And you just throw that thing on the fire.
And then you're basically supposed to do the same thing
for the Cobra.

(21:35):
So they had a whole box full of Cobras, and they would let one out and you grab it by its tail and you kind of lift it up and have it's like belly sort of touching the ground. And it can't it doesn't have the power to, like, whip up and bite you. Right. Okay. It's, you know, its hood is kind of heavy. And and, if it does, like, kind of lift up like that, you just shake it. Yeah. The weight of you shaking it, like, pushes it back down on the ground. Got you. And then essentially, like, you have another person, you know, put a stick or something behind its neck and then just cut its head off. I end up burning the snake, though. Your culinary skills weren't as good as your killing skills. Yeah. Yeah. They say that about the marines. Do they say that about us? Yeah.

(22:17):
I get caught up doing other things, and I I came back, and I was like, oh, shit. I burnt the fucking snake, and it was like, well, good. I don't wanna fucking eat the thing anyhow.
But then they end up kill they end up,
catching a wild hog that night. Oh. And they killed it. So everybody Okay.
Have a pork. That would feed more people, I'd imagine.
They had up the pork.

(22:38):
And BTC's people, but also says back to boosts, it's next level cold in North Dakota. Yeah. It was. And fuck Jack Dorsey.
And Zelensky, give me money.
I wonder if they know each other. Well, probably. Yeah. Through through Sean Penn. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I I already made that connection. Come on. Did you listen to the episode?

(23:02):
Reminder, Jack Dorsey is a globalist rat.
Yes.
You know, I I take the old show prep, and I just copy and paste it in there, and there was all this, like, Dorsey stuff. So I kept it in the show too. Nice. The globalist rat stuff, just to remind everyone.
You got a Bubba boost in there. Oh, yeah.
Bubba,
Well, well, well,

(23:23):
Johnny boy,
that was quite an eloquent rant on my old broken down ass.
True to the t, cowboy emoji.
Great little show
in Ed Sullivan voice. What does that mean? Great little great little show.
We've got a great little show for you.
The doors. And and the the doors would come on, and they were saying, come on, baby. Light my fire.

(23:50):
Okay. Sounds great. He didn't want Ed Sullivan didn't want them to say
higher
because it was a connotation of drug use. Oh. And then Ed Sullivan wanted them to say,
I I need you to say, girl, it doesn't get much better,
but they didn't do that.
Okay. They end up saying higher really loud on the Ed Sullivan show.

(24:12):
Okay.
A little bit of American history.
Thank you. Was sad to have missed it. As per usual, Jack Dorsey is okay for a retarded piece of shit who got lucky in the lottery of life,
no different than Mark Cuban.
Now the people who love and worship his ass should be strung up in the nearest tree.

(24:34):
Bring back wild west justice.
John, just dang bunch of Paula Abdul lyrics after I stopped laughing.
I got real scared.
Max,
you said something that was funny as hell, but I can't remember.
But I remember,
LOL, as the kids would say. And Max,

(24:55):
it is a Sportster,
an eight eight three with a '98 Buell '12 hundred engine. Oh, that's quite interesting. Oh, yeah. I wanted a Buell. Mhmm. I've ridden one once. It was fast.
XB12Lightning.
I don't know. This was in the early two thousands, like, maybe 02/2001. My buddy, Aaron McCused.
Do they have, like, twin headlights at the front? Oh, Jesus, Max. I don't remember. Fucking hell. Okay. Yeah. Anyway,

(25:23):
very nice.
In a hardtail frame,
I'm not a smart man. 2,000 miles to Lake Satoshi, 4 Thousand round trip.
If I ain't dead, I will see y'all there. Except you, Max, because you're a retard.
Love you fuckers.
No. He's absolutely right.
That's true. Hey. I I I'll be right back. I have to go kill a wasp. While you're killing a wasp, I'm gonna go and do a wee. Okay.

(25:50):
BRB.
Yo yo.
Why'd it take you such a long time to kill a wasp, decapitating
it? No. I well, then I went and went and peed too. Okay. Because two for one there. It was a yellow jacket. Aren't they all? No. I don't think so. You know, you got the wasps that are, like, brown and mud daubers and

(26:16):
yellow jackets.
You got hornets.
What color are the hornets? Black? I don't know. Yes. Black. Oh, yeah. I can tell you a story. One one time, I was up at a cell tower,
and, you know, we don't go up on a cell tower for my job.
We just, like, connect the huts up to, you know, put the broadband
into the hut itself, the the high capacity circuit.

(26:39):
And,
often
inside the cell compound, there's a huge a big backboard, you know, with all the power on it and all the old copper connections because these things used to be fed by t ones.
And then larger boxes that are for the fiber.
And I go up there and there's this huge bald face hornet

(26:59):
nest
on this backboard.
And those things are super aggressive, the bald face hornets.
And I'm like, okay. Well, I'm I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna kill them with the wasp spray. So I use one can of wasp spray, and
they don't care. You know, it kills the ones that are there, but there must be hundreds and hundreds flying around in this general area, and they keep coming back to nest. And now they're pissed off. So I take another can of wasp spray, and I do the same thing. Still, there's a ton around. I said, okay. I'm just gonna take a couple cans of wasp spray and just sit here for about ten minutes and just keep tagging them, you know, as they fly by. Now I realize this this is

(27:35):
absolutely a losing
proposition here. I'm I'm never gonna win. So the the splice that I had to do was about, I don't know, like, six feet up in the air.
And I just figured I'm just gonna get this splice done and just be real calm, and then maybe they won't bother me. So I use
I I use NinjaFocus to slow my heart rate, and they're, like, was just so calm about doing the splice. You know, like, my partner, Andy, he's gone. He not staying up there for all. He went back to central office. Like, when you finish a splice, you can shoot light through it to Mhmm. Shoot a laser through it to see if if this place is good. So he's like, I'm just going back to the office, and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna send you light. You're good up here by yourself. So I did these things. They're, like, buzzing all around my head, these bald faced hornets, and and, I finished it without getting stung. You're a bright man.

(28:24):
I just wanna be done. Yeah. Brave brave or stupid. Usually, like, a combination of both. I would have done exactly what Andy did. I would have got the fuck out of there.
He he never if it's if it's wasps or hornets or snakes
or, you know, anything like that, he's gone. Snakes.
No. He he don't want no snakes. I quite like snakes. I used to have snakes when I was a kid. Yeah. I I had a, I had a ball python. Oh, nice.

(28:49):
Did you eat that as well? No. I didn't eat that one.
I wasn't in Thailand, you know. That's America. To have one. Oh, what happened to it? Oh, well, one day, there wasn't any frosty anything in the cupboard, so I cut his head off and then, cooked it on a bit of bamboo,
and I burnt it.
Next up, ape mythrandir says fuck the fed. That's a quote from Max from Ungovernable Misfits. You may know it. Oh, did I? And next, we got a Pies.

(29:16):
Hey.
Mhmm. Gonna lay low for a while. Thank you, gentlemen. Y'all be safe out there forty hours per week. Well, I hope your laying low is going well, Pies. I mean, let's know what's going on. Yeah. Don't lay too low. We'll miss you. Yeah. We would miss you. I'm absolutely appalled by the fact that you just didn't know that b I b l e was because a song from the Wu Tang

(29:40):
Clan motherfuckers.
Sorry.
It is weird that I I didn't know that. It seems like something I should know.
Sort of thing you would know. It it usually is. Yeah. I don't if it came out '97,
then sometimes things
things blow past me. That's my last year.
Yo, John, why you talking shit on Jersey Italians, my man? I purposely mispronounced

(30:05):
my own name because I can.
Good for you. Good for you, gobble go.
John, the song you were singing about,
John, you were singing about opposites attract was super gay. That's the second mention of Sami Singh and Paula Abdul.
I just said that I'm gonna pick, like, some gay song and sing it every episode just to piss people off. Yeah. Definitely do that. Okay. V for v, forty hours per week. Leave my man Jordan alone. He's a fucking hustler. I'm a hustler. I'm a I'm a hustler, homie.

(30:35):
And he also put in nudepodcastapps.com.
V for v. 40 hours a week. Yeah. Nudepodcastapps.com.
Nude podcast apps Com. When you listened to
the interview
that I did
with Boo Berry from behind the schemes podcast, which is going to is it's gonna it's gonna come out before this one. Right?

(30:57):
Yeah. That's gonna be next, then it's gonna be this, then it's gonna be Barn Miner.
Okay.
We we talk about nudepodcastapps.com.
Boo Berry is a a podcasting two point o genius freak,
mad scientist.
Mhmm. They're just, like, super deep into everything you can do with podcasting two point o, and he had sent me new pod newpodcastapps.com.

(31:25):
We had a conversation on on there. You'll you'll all hear it. And just listen to the fucking show.
That's it. And I stopped this chat for you. And I I isolated this chat one out because
Especially for me.
Chet,
great show, cunts.
Oh, thank you, Chet. That's really sweet. About as nice as he gets.
Yeah. Thank you, mate. Otis Bitmire. Will Hash Sluts have a pop up at Lake Satoshi?

(31:51):
Should I prepare blinders for my children?
It's possible
we will have a, a Mechnell marketplace
kind of deal up there at Lake Satoshi that Otis Bittmeyer will be a part of. He'll have himself a little a little coffee shop vibe going on at Lake Satoshi.
Satsmiths Vitt says it's hard not to enjoy hearing about my own misadventures

(32:12):
for anyone that cares to know. After losing his phone, the guy made it home okay due to the amazing people he decided to surround himself with. Words seem worthless
when you get the type of support I witnessed during this tragic snow bear accident.
Oh. That's a sweet thing to say. We spent a lot of time together,
Sats Misfits
Sats Misfit and I

(32:34):
couple weeks ago. We've been spending a lot of time together.
Doing work stuff. Don't get any ideas, you creeps.
Chad Farrow and 33 others. I just wanna mention real quick also on this Boo Berry podcast, we I had mentioned to talk, numerology
with him because a lot of these, no agenda podcast

(32:56):
adjacent people,
you know, and we've gone over this before on the show where Chad Farrow has talked about what all these different boost numbers mean.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, 33 is some kind of secret masonic number. So
that could be the significance there of Chad f and 33 others.
Mhmm. But he'll probably tell us in his next boost. I'm sure. He says, I'm not mad at Max and John. You guys at least know there are other podcasting two point o apps out there. Maybe you can remember this site, nudepodcastapps.com.

(33:25):
Yes. Nude.
Nude.
Yeah. Because that's when we were trying to remember all the different ones and did a terrible job. We were like, ah, he's gonna be really upset. But he wasn't. So that's good. Yep. At least we tried. And I did a good job with boo on the Boo Berry podcast.
You did? With talking about all of the different things you can do. So we're we're making up for it, Chad.

(33:49):
Yep. He says his daily driver is Podverse, but CurioCaster,
Podcast Guru, Castomatic are also great. These apps do require an Albie account to send sats, but if you have Albie Hub set up, give them a shot. He also says I'm sending this from Fountain, also great, but podcasting two point o is about listeners being able to choose whatever app they want. But but but Dorsey wore a Satoshi shirt at the Super Bowl. Right.

(34:14):
Exactly. Thank you, sir. Next up from Chill Now. This is a real I I I wish people could go to
their podcasting app and pull up this last episode of action news of reading boosts from because this is displayed in a really cool, like, cypherpunk manner, this this boost from chill now.
Error detected human control failure.
The hash slots system works you via arm's length transactions.

(34:37):
Every outcome is calculated.
Xeno protocol, welcome, Tammy, to the stage.
Error detected,
free will corrupted.
You were told you're in control.
Ayn Rand thought guiding through the blue haze smog was freedom over real or just an illusion of control controlled oop.
Two cunts gaming the system for all. My satoshis stuffing their g strings and loop.

(35:02):
That's the coolest fucking boost we've ever gotten. That was really cool. How does he do that? Like, all the Oh, no. Look different.
Kinda badass.
Yeah. He's, like, broken the matrix or something.
Totally.
Jordan here is testing splits.
He also wants us to know that podcastindex.org
worked, podcast guru worked, pod verse, obviously. Okay. So it all worked. Good. Way way to go. Well done.

(35:25):
He and, somebody else were testing things.
More time boosted hash slot ad.
Laughing face on fire. Thank you very much.
Average Gary.
Up secure the bag. Hash rate is all guessing. No concrete measuring. Yes. That's true, sir. And Cypherpunk
to
be another great podcast.
These are things. So Cypherpunk to be has been doing a wonderful job on,

(35:47):
the Noster's
in
taking every show that we do and then sending out a a,
a nostril post about it. Yeah. So thank you very much for doing that.
Do you wanna know something disgusting?
I guess.
My feet
have got I don't know if you ever had this before, but, like, they've cracked like, everything is cracked to hell. Like, all the heat you already told me about this, but you can tell the audience about it if you want to. Did I send you a picture or not? You didn't send me a picture. No. But you were telling me about it that you're you're complaining about your ailments the other day. Would you like one? A photo. Why not? I don't you know?

(36:25):
I got a boring life. I I guess I need I need this to spice it up. I don't think it would have mattered what I answered.
You'd be getting one anyway. Yeah. This doesn't really do it justice. It's way more fucked than it looks in this, but I shall send it anyway.
Anyway.
So that's going to now. Let's see what

(36:45):
Ah, fuck.
Yeah. Yeah. The fuck is wrong with you? What the fuck is right with me is the question.
That's disgusting.
Have you ever had that?
No. I've never had that. There's something wrong with you.
All of those cracks
along
there, they're, like, proper proper deep. So, like, when you put weight on it, then they start bleeding.

(37:07):
Yeah.
It's not horrible.
You can delete that.
Blue plaque gladly.
You're like, I wish I could erase that fucking image from my brain. Yeah. It's gone. Club to polymath. Where is it? Oh, here we are. Really enjoyed your writing. I tried to clip it on fountain, but I couldn't get the timer aligned right to get the whole speech.

(37:30):
Great article, though, and love the look of the new site.
Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. The new site is really good. Stuff. Crown has been on fire recently. Yeah. He has. He's really, really this last, like, two, three months, just fucking nailing it.
Absolutely nailing it. And, yeah, the, the clipping thing on there, the trick there, just so you know,

(37:51):
is to go a bit further past it at the beginning because it's really, like, horrible trying to do it with the scrolly thing in your thumb. It's, like, way too sensitive. Go a little bit further past it, then wait till it gets close, press pause,
and then
clip. That's the way. Yeah. I agree. Way. Yeah. That's a good one. Often find myself doing the plus timer thing.

(38:13):
Mhmm. The plus the plus minus on that, and it repeats what you said. Yes.
Oscar
Merry, test.
Thanks, Oscar. It's a test. Yeah. Well, that's it for the boost. Thank you very much everybody for being an integral part of the show with your value for value,
podcasting two point o
stuff.

(38:33):
Just know that it it goes to good places at as Jordan had mentioned
earlier in the, boost reads. And if you want to go to a good place, I know one.
It's Lansingburg,
Michigan,
August Second
20 20 5 for the Lake Satoshi Bitcoin Beach retreat.

(38:56):
This is her this is her strut, Bob Seager.
I was gonna say mixed up with that.
Not really. Bob Seger just has a billion hits
because he's a significant
artist.
I can imagine while I'm listening to this Bubba on his bike making his way down there.

(39:20):
Rob Seager would be the theme song for a lot of Bubba's life.
Interestingly
enough for my life,
you know, I've done a number of cross country motorcycle trips
and turn the page
was in my mind for one of my trips for, like, four or five days. That's all I heard. You know, because

(39:43):
there's no headphones, no,
nothing. It's just sound of the road.
Yeah. But it's maddening in a way, but it's also extremely peaceful.
Mhmm. And turn the page
was in my head for
many, many hundreds, maybe thousands
of miles. Of miles. Nice.

(40:04):
What were you riding?
At that time, I was riding a Yamaha VSTAR
1,100
Classic.
Very nice.
It was a nice bike for, you know, for a Japanese bike, a cruiser. That was a really nice bike. I I liked that bike. Japanese make some great bikes. They do. They do make great bikes.
Well, if you got a bike, cruise on up to Langsburg, Michigan,

(40:27):
August Second 20 20 5. The mesh dell will be there,
in full strength.
Really, there'll be a lot of mesh dellians
there
at the Lake Satoshi meetup. So we've asked the we've asked and and Mike and the organizers, like,
can we have a little place that we can set up a tent and Otis can do a little coffee shop vibe and maybe coral can bring some things to sell.

(40:52):
Mhmm. Jackie can bring some things to sell.
Perhaps, Solex will come over with some things that that he can
he can peddle
there, and, maybe I'll bring some ungovernable misfits clothing.
I don't know. But we'll have a place there to do it. I'll I'll I'm gonna go there a day early and set up a tent and some tables and a generator,

(41:12):
and then maybe all the other mesh to deli and we'll set up our mesh to del marketplace.
Nice.
Perhaps I'll have some some candles from EVM Park, candle company. Oh.
Oh, no.
It's a couple months away. We'll see what kind
of hijinks we can get into.
I was talking once again to,
to somebody in Wisconsin

(41:33):
who's who's not really in our sphere to hear our shows all the time and, but they are, you know, a Bitcoin adjacent type person.
And I said, hey.
Let me tell you about Lake Satoshi. And he's like, wow. That that really sounds like the perfect event because I've been to I've been to Las Vegas,
for the the the last Bitcoin,
conference there, and it was kind of okay.

(41:56):
But this is this is really what I'm trying to get into with stuff like this. Yeah. There's not a lot out there. I mentioned Lake Satoshi wherever I can.
It's like the antithesis
of the
normal
Bitcoin bullshit.
Man, that's a fucking of it. Yeah. Yeah. Sure do. Well, we have it,
and we will be there. And we're going to make the most of it, and we hope that you will be there too. Now we're gonna move on to the statistics.

(42:35):
Statistics. Statistics.
I'm a tell you the basics for hashing with basics,
Bitcoin mining statistics.
Statistics.
Statistics. Statistics.

(42:55):
I'm a tell you the basics for hashing with ASICs,
Bitcoin mining statistics.
Statistics.
Statistics
brought to you by the Lincoin mining platform and load.

(43:15):
I don't think load paid for anything, but I don't know. Just rolls off the tongue.
Oh. We were the big deal.
Yeah. We we were their big deal. As you know, if you've listened to our show for a long time, you know that we are we're homies with the LinkCoin team, and they are so much more than a pool.
I just tell you this, you know, so I go up to this is gonna be this is gonna be the ad read. This is literally going to be the ad read here for LinkCoin.

(43:43):
I'm gonna
weave the story in with going to visit Chet.
Chet calls and says, hey. You know,
there's this site that that they want me to go and, set up a hydro container.
He's been
you know, we all know that he's very good at the Bitmain h k three hydro container,
but he also now has become the expert in the Giga

(44:05):
hydro container.
Oh.
Giga's
a American manufacturer out of Texas.
I think they do, like, gensets and containers, and now they have a hydro unit.
And,
Chet's the guy that that goes around and and helps people out with that. And so he was, he was helping set up this hydro container and it was only like an hour and a half from me. I said, well, I'm not gonna pass up an opportunity like that to see my boy. So I drive up there,

(44:30):
get on-site. It's a natural gas site
that's kicking out,
I think,
ten,
twelve meg. I'd have to ask Chad. I don't know why the ten ten megawatts
sticks in my head, but I think that's the size of the site. I think it was something like,
like, fifth 12 to 1,500
MCF of gas a day.

(44:51):
That's that's a lot of gas. Yeah. Might even be more than that when I think about it. I don't know. Does doesn't fucking matter. It's big. And it's it's big. So I get there and they're in the hydro container. So it's a hydro container, and then it's two air cooled containers
and three very large gensets. Like, the gensets are so big that they're in, you know, shipping container sizes themselves.

(45:12):
And then there's some other smaller 50 k w,
upstream data containers off to the side, which I'll come back to in a second. And so I go in the hydro container, and there's there's Chet, like, setting up a laptop.
And there's the owner of the site that he he just bought. Really nice guy.
Lives in Florida, but he's from he's from Ohio, so he's familiar with the area.

(45:34):
This was his first foray
into,
into Bitcoin mining. He just buys this natural gas site. Know. Yeah. Start small then. He's not starting with a bit ax.
He's like, I'm I'm gonna do something different in my life. I'm I'm I'm rich. I like adventure. I like new things. Yeah. Bitcoin mining seems cool. So he buys this natural gas site. Now it's stranded. It was seven miles from pipeline.

(45:58):
Okay. So the you know, with with with that that distance from pipeline
and what you'd have to do for right aways, and is it worth it to put it on pipeline, you know, depending on what the price of gas is, you might not recoup that in a reasonable amount of time. Mhmm. You know, so this winter, gas went up to to almost $4 an MCF and paying for pipeline to sell gas at $4 an MCF is great.

(46:21):
You're selling it at a dollar, dollar 50. Alright. Well, it's gonna be very hard to recoup that type of investment, that CapEx investment into, you know,
running a pipeline. That's if you get all the all the all the right away. That's if you get all the permitting
to connect to that point in the pipeline. So in this instance, natural gas, Bitcoin mining makes sense. So he buys these assets. He puts all these these containers on there,

(46:43):
buys a brand new hydro container
with brand new, Bitmain hydro machines. And I go inside, and there's Chet setting up Lanecoin agent for this guy to control everything in the hydro container. So, you know, you have agent that can do all of these controls for you, all of this monitoring, all these these different metrics within your mind.
But you can also use not only their minor management software, but, like, their their accounting software as well. I mean, it's a it's a whole package that you get with when you sign up for Linkcoin. You're taking all these different products. You're taking a pool product. You're taking a minor management product. You're taking, like,

(47:19):
a a mine
management
software, and it's all combined into one.
You can work a deal with them perhaps on pool fees, perhaps on the cost of agent. You know? Just work with them based on what your needs are. So we're talking to this guy, and Chet's going on and on about how great Linkcoin agent is and all these things that you can do. And then

(47:39):
I pipe up and say, hey. You know? Are you using lintcoin for your pool also? And he says, no. I'm I'm not. I'm actually using I'm not gonna name the brand. Why give them ever? But Yeah. I'm using this this pool and their hash rate marketplace, their hash rate derivatives.
I'm like, listen, I'm just a simple Bitcoin miner. You know, I don't understand all of these sophisticated

(48:02):
financial tools. Please tell me, guy. And he's like, well, you know, if if I know that they're going to guarantee me a hash price of $50
you know, a petahash per day, and I know that I'm profitable here at this place, well, $50 per petahash per day makes sense to me. So I agree with them for a month period of time that no matter what
a hash price is gonna be, it's gonna be $50 for me. And that makes sense. And I'm like, oh, well, okay. That's great for you. Well, I guess, you know,

(48:29):
the Lincoin doesn't have that that kind of product at at the pool level, so,
you know, do whatever you want. But can I ask you, who's holding the bag at the end of the day? Why is this advantageous? And I I think we talked I told you was telling you about this on the phone. Like, why is this advantageous for that pool provider to offer you

(48:49):
$50
per head a half per day. Aren't they losing money? Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, they're they're doing other stuff with their investments. You know? And I was like, well, what is what are they doing? You know? I always wanna know The stuffs. They're doing stuffs. Yeah. Yeah. So if you don't need all that sophisticated gobbledygook
bullshit as far on the pool level and and you want steady FPPS payout, you can combine and bundle these things with Link coins many, many, many other services.

(49:16):
Service is so good that they've recently partnered with Bitfarms to deploy
across 15 data centers to do a lot of their energy management stuff, real time energy intelligence, operations management,
optimize energy uses, reduce their costs. Bitfarms currently has about 19 and a half exahash
of Bitcoin mining operations, but they're they're getting deep in the high performance computing and the data center stuff and so on and so forth. And that's where kinda load takes over from from Linkcoin. So it's Mhmm. It's like extra outside of of the the Bitcoin

(49:48):
ecosystem. Scene.
You love that. You love that. I love the Bitcoin mining scene. Yeah. Yeah. So then I then I got I was like, who is Bitforms? Why why do I know that name? And then he'd recently bought Stronghold Digital, and they've got a site, like I said, at the beginning show, interestingly enough, about 15 miles away from where I went to go visit Chet that day.
They've got a coal fired power plant up there that they're messing around with. The fridge keeping it ice cold. Yeah. Totally. Chet and I were doing the hard hardcore press full court press. I'm trying to get this guy over to % link point. You're welcome, Eddie. They don't just do a short ad read on the show. It's not our style. ABS.

(50:27):
Always be selling. Shilling.
That's right. Stupid me. Oh,
here's some here's some statistics for you guys. Global hash rate on thirty eight day moving average.
What? Not that actually. Didn't even get the statistics. I don't know. It was like 900 the other day. I'm fucking pissed. I don't know. I was just saying it doesn't really fucking matter anymore.

(50:47):
Foundry is about two sixty seven.
The most exciting thing about different mining pools, hash rate of note that I noticed that a lot of these big miners,
their hash rate has not gone up proportionate
to total network hash rate. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, we we start to see these climbs and you figure to yourself, well, the leaders in hash rate should be the ones

(51:10):
carrying the hash rate up. Mhmm. But they're pretty much the same as they've been the past three months. Like, you know, I go through all my show notes, and I, like, update
what it was to what it is now, and then I reference what it was. Yep. And there's not there's not huge jumps
here, like, to account for that. So I I don't know what that means, but I just found it quite interesting. What I've been doing for these these looking up different pool hash rates was go to stratum.work.

(51:35):
And if you haven't been to stratum.work in the past few months, you should go because, Borscht has really updated it with some neat features. So I always like to look at the Antpool family or to see who's all, you know, huddled together. This time, we found yeah. Bsquare,
Poolin, Binance,
Ultimus,
Clover Pool, and Brains. They all looked very, very, very familiar as far as their what transactions they were used to, like, hash the Merkle tree down to the Merkle root.

(52:05):
Ocean had a big jump in hash rates. They went up to 6.42
because of their their deal with Tether.
And our friends at Linkcoin are 2.48
x hash.
So that's about 22,545
mining servers under
Body McBotface's
careful management.

(52:25):
Would you say 544,545,
20 four joules per terra hash machines.
And that's what, like, a hundred terra hash things?
No. I I just did it did it. But if if the machine is 24 joules per terra hash, ash, like if that's I see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Average,

(52:45):
if that's its average efficiency.
Mhmm. Then that's how many servers. Some kinda estimate I get, you know, just so that and, like, cute cute little factoid. It's quite nice because it sort of it makes it so you can visualize it. Otherwise, these numbers like zeta jewels and zigga jails.
Damn. Damn zigga jails get you every time.

(53:07):
Hash value is at,
55, six 40 three sets per pet hash per day.
And
hash,
price was about $50
to $40
all all month.
Mhmm. So kinda shitty. Shitty. Yeah. That's Yeah. That's the most consistent

(53:28):
metric
in the Bitcoin mining space is how is it?
Shitty.
See what I mean, though? Like, if if if that that hash rate dividend this guy is guaranteeing $50.
But at times, I swear there was, like, an instantaneous
hash price
reading from a a guy in our group called, like, Woah,
who installed a bot in our Telegram group to where you can pull these statistics up anytime that you want. I swear it dipped underneath 40

(53:54):
per petahash per day, which sucks.
But, you know, for something if listen. If you if you just spend a whole bunch of money on a natural gas
mine and you're not counting all of your CapEx that you put into it and just say, okay. Instantaneously,
what does it cost me for gas?
And
then try to convert that over to
electrical Mhmm.

(54:16):
Which you can't do. You you you can't do straight up because you don't know what your running costs are gonna be for the year. How are you amateur amortizing that equipment
throughout the year
to say, okay. Well, I have my gas costs, but I also have all of my other costs here for my generators,
you know, installation. What happens when they break? What are my maintenance costs?

(54:37):
But let's say he's he's at
30 to $40 a megawatt hour. Well, then he's he's probably pretty good with the the type of machines that he had there. He had two air cooled containers full of, like,
JPRO type 28 joules per terraash machines, and then he had this hydro container, which they're probably about 16 joules per terraash.
So if you're taking the average efficiency of everything there, maybe you're about eighteen, nineteen joules per terahash and 4¢ kilowatt hour is pretty good. So so if you're guaranteed $50

(55:08):
per petahash per day, then you're good. Those are good numbers. Yeah. But for some people who were,
you know, maybe
7¢
kilowatt hour or 8¢ kilowatt hour, $50 for petahash per day is is not good. Mhmm. Not great.
We shall now end statistics by letting you know that transaction fees as a percentage of block reward are unsatisfactory.

(55:31):
That's the word I'm going with this time. It's a very good descriptive word.
It's unsatisfactory.
Yeah.
Okay.
Moving on with the rest of the show. It's clunky. The show's clunky. Max. It is. Told you. Just,
I don't know. My mind is is elsewhere.
Clunky is good. Clunky is good. I don't know. It's it's it's real. It doesn't have to be polished all the time. It doesn't have to be super poppy and funny and interesting. Sometimes you get to grind away with us because Exactly. Well, that's a lot of Bitcoin mining. It's just a fucking

(56:04):
grind
grind in the mine.
How are transaction fees as a percentage of block reward? Unsatisfactory.
How was the show? Also
unsatisfactory.
Quite unsatisfactory.
I I have some more notes here. And by the way,

(56:24):
there there's there's the action news theme. I don't even feel like playing it. That's where I'm at right now.
What's wrong with John lately?
Again, what's right with him?
Going to visit Chet, there was, like, this crazy
set of coincidences
that happened.

(56:44):
Mhmm. This goes with my entire experience since I've been involved
with all of you guys.
You know what I mean? Been been involved with, the Meshedale, with the PlayMiner Group, with starting all of this, all the things that used to happen, all these connections that we used to make. Sometimes I would sit and I go, man, this is absolutely
incredible

(57:05):
that all of these things keep popping off and all of these connections keep getting made. And the same thing with the mesh to Dell. It's almost like for me,
the hand of God keeps keeps guiding me into these places and making these connections for me. And I'm always I'm always very thankful
to the Lord for connecting me with all of these wonderful people that I know. And

(57:26):
in
the one of these things happened to me, like, you know, the mining side that I'm working on. Mhmm. I've told you this whole big story about how these things kept happening to get me to that point,
which I will tell in an entire show at some point. At some point.
It but it's re it's really fucking it's really neat. It's like that's one of the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me spiritually,

(57:49):
cosmically.
But it was like a a little
snapshot of that going up to that mine with to visit Chet
in that,
so we're in that container, and we're talking to the owner of the site, and Chet's showing him
agent. Here's how you log on. Here's all the things that that it can do.
And,
there's a kid there,

(58:10):
you know, maybe, like, 19 years old.
And,
I'm saying to him,
hey.
Do you know
okay. I'm not gonna mention anybody's names. Alright? Mhmm. Do you know I must let's call this guy k.
I I said to the kid, I said, do you know a guy whose first name starts with k? He's like, yeah. Yeah. He he used to to be up on the site. And I was like, I thought so because I saw his two his two containers over there, and I know that he was selling those and and so on and so forth. And then I asked him about these two fifty kilowatt upstream data containers, and he's like, oh, yeah. Those belong to this guy.

(58:47):
His name starts with an m. I was like, wow. That's crazy. Do you think he he would want to sell those containers? And he's like, I don't know. You can call him up. So I got m's number.
Then I called him a couple days after that,
and I'm talking to him. And he's like, oh, yeah. You know, I might be interested in in selling those. You know, let's have a conversation about that. Who are you? Who are you? We get to talking

(59:09):
and
found out that we were both at the Ohio Blockchain
Council
event a couple years ago, and he was talking to Mehdi. And I'm pretty sure Sarah and Base and I were talking to him too.
And then he's from, like, Eastern Ohio,
so we got to talk in this guy. He goes, well, you're from Pittsburgh. Do you do you know this guy? And I was like, no. I don't. But I just did a podcast with this other guy whose name I will mention, Mike Hatch, from the Redemptive Economics podcast. I said, I just recorded with this Mike Hatch guy, and he knows that guy. And this and this guy I'm just telling this story bad because I'm trying to obfuscate names.

(59:47):
It's kinda tough, isn't it? It was it was like this this seven degrees
of Kevin Bacon, you know, kind of thing.
It just happened in, like, this two week period of time where all of these connections, every single person within that chain knew
somebody with, like, one degree of separation.
It's a small world.
It is a small world, but I always can't deny that there's something

(01:00:10):
bigger happening there. So because I went to go visit my friend because just because I wanted to spend time with him, all of these other connections got made and enabled me to, like, make a deal on this equipment.
It's meant to be.
I guess so.
Well, you know, I I appreciate your in-depth analysis on that.

(01:00:32):
I don't know what else to say.
I do feel the same thing, though. There's definitely times where you're like,
this is feels like you're sort of,
a chess piece being moved around, like it's a
preplanned,
preprogrammed,
meant to be thing.
I do feel that a lot, but I can't explain it or put it into words. Well, I mean, I I try and I think it did a better job on,

(01:00:56):
and that that podcast hasn't been released yet, but it's it's called Redundant Economics.
It has a more normie spin to it. And it's,
you know, religious based
podcast.
But I think it did a good job explaining it. Like to me, I, I, I just feel, I feel God's hand
in in guiding me through a lot of these things because

(01:01:16):
well, because I ask for it, because I I pray for these things in in particular.
Mhmm. Give me an idea as to what I should be doing, where I should be pointing my my energy.
Is that how you ask for things then? Just, like, kind of
give me some guidance here on what I'm supposed to be doing. I have learned I have learned,
through praying with my friend Daniel for for such a long time. He was he was very good at prayer

(01:01:42):
that that
just asking directly this beating around the bush thing, you know, the the direct communication,
has has helped in in my prayers a lot
Okay. Personally. So you're asking, like, where do I point my energy? Because this that's the thing is, like Yeah. Especially with doing this show and other shows and stuff, like, there's a lot of things that seem like they could be opportunities that present themselves.

(01:02:08):
Mhmm. Because you have a lot of connections
constantly.
And then it's like, if you also have other work that you do outside of that and, like,
if you're a busy person, then it's like, there's loads of opportunities, and it's really easy to, like, point yourself at all of them and and then end up Yeah. It's kind of wasting time. So it's always Absolutely. Difficult then to choose

(01:02:30):
where do I direct my energy. Is it just one thing? Is it these three? Is it all of them? Is it none of them? That's the tough one. You know what? What happened? This happened last
August
because I I just
I'll I'll tell this quickly. I mean, I want this I want this to be the whole when I tell this whole story, this is gonna be a big part of it, but I'll I'll just give that little this little snippet of which you know well that I was working a deal with somebody

(01:02:55):
for, like, a month or so,
and it didn't work out. I was talking to this guy, k. This is this k guy again.
So we got off the phone call with this this other, like, investment group, and it turns out they were gonna go in a different direction.
And we were fine with that. Like, you know, so you you don't want Bitcoin miners on there? Okay. If it doesn't work out for you financially, then don't don't have us on there. Do something else with you. You're it was not it was a natural gas deal. Do something else with your natural gas. You're getting a better deal. Go ahead and sell the natural gas. So he calls me after we were done with that phone call, and he's like, what do you think? And I said, I don't know. I'm just frustrated.

(01:03:32):
This has been, you know, trying to work an on grid deal since last March.
And then this summer with this this natural gas deal, and it's not working out. And I just feel like
I don't know, I'm just a little bit frustrated. He's like, yeah. You know what? I understand where you're coming from. You know? We'll we'll find something else. And, so I get off the phone with him, and I I get on another call that,

(01:03:53):
a prayer call with, a buddy of mine.
And I'm telling about all my woes, and he's telling me about his.
And, you know, that's what that's kind of what we always do before we have our official Wind chair.
A little bit of whinging, you know, where's your heart at
kind of deal?
So, you know, and in that he's like, you know, you just need to ask directly.

(01:04:15):
And so I in that prayer, I just said, you know, Lord, I feel like I'm just swinging a hammer
at any nail that I see. You know, can you give me the guidance of where you want,
where I should be directing my energy?
Mhmm.
And then as soon as we got off that call,
I was directed
about where to go.
Yes. I remember that. And you know that I'll that I'll do this. And I I think

(01:04:39):
you're
you you seem to be much better at it than me. Like, I'll I'll just, you know,
bounce from one thing to another. But you I don't know. Your organizational skills are really good. I didn't know that they are. Really?
No. I don't think so. The only thing I'm good at is surrounding myself with very, very capable
people. Mhmm. I think I'm quite good at, like, realizing

(01:05:04):
how to make those connections
so that things happen. Like, I'll know, like, this person's
fucking incredible at this thing, and this person needs someone who's good at this thing. Mhmm. I'll connect those two people.
Yeah. I sort of can see where there's a gap. There's, like, a string that goes across these two people.

(01:05:25):
Mhmm.
Often, it's people who are
not appreciated as much as they should be or not seen. Oh, interesting. Like, they're not seen as like, oh, wow. That person's incredible. But then I can see, I know they're fucking amazing. You see the potential in people. Yeah. I can see the potential in people, I think, is that's the only thing I'm good at. And outside of that, no.

(01:05:45):
Shit.
Yeah. Just a fucking
just a mess. You're a talent scout. Oh, yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe I could be like the Harvey Weinstein of Bitcoin.
Yeah. You should. Yeah. Yeah. I'd say that. I'd hear it about you. There's a lot about me, like, creepy, slightly overweight.
Yeah.

(01:06:06):
Fuck. That's my calling.
Who knew? So, anyways, that's that's kinda my my story about how all these
weird things connected for me just by going to to spend time with a friend.
Mhmm.
You know, Chet Chet ended up going back there. I think he put this on Twitter. He ended up going back there, had to troubleshoot something. Maybe,

(01:06:26):
he told me, but I can't sorry, Chet. I can't remember why you went back up there. And,
you know, there he is. Get his little rollout. They had a little shed there, you know, to be their their nerve center of operations. It was it was just a it was just a shed with, like,
a table in it and Mhmm. Maybe, like, their Starlink and their router. That's all that was in the shed. So there, Chet, he puts down his bedroll, and that's where he's sleeping, sleeping in the mine. Everybody wants to be I think Chet has got the saying, like, everybody wants to

(01:06:56):
be a minor, but nobody wants to be in the mine.
Yeah. He lives it.
Sleeps and eats it. Yeah.
And he wants us all to eat too. He does. Share the love.
We all eat. He makes sure that we do. Sends in Bruce. Looks after us. He does. He We love each other. Man. No doubt. We also love altertech.io.

(01:07:19):
That we do.
Winter is over.

(01:07:41):
That's my focus for the altertech.i0
ad read.
Winter is over.
It here is in,
North Americas
in The United States,
in Western Pennsylvania. Winter's over. All my machines are off. Everything here at the homestead is off. I no longer need to capture heat. Therefore,
kind of no point in losing money, just blowing hot air out

(01:08:05):
because my electric rate over the past couple years has gone up significantly
than, you know, when I started,
seven years ago here in the home. So Mhmm. They're off. Don't need to capture heat. But this is a perfect opportunity
to do more than just, like, take your machines down and clean them and replace fans that that aren't running anymore.

(01:08:26):
I always say this this time of year, this is the time to work on infrastructure.
Mhmm. What does that what does that mean?
Not only in your home, but in other places that your mind test your machines out. See how many boards that you have bad. How many chips do you have bad? Your fans, how many fans are bad? You have broken blades.
It's a time for safety too.

(01:08:47):
Check your plugs, your outlets, your breakers. Your breakers feel a little bit loosey goosey because you've been using them as switches. You're not supposed to use breakers as switches.
But, of course, I'm I'm guilty of it as well.
Replace those breakers.
Get out your multimeter and check your grounds. Check across your your two hots, see if your voltage is good. Check to see if you can go one side to ground, one side to ground. Make Make sure that you're getting good readings. You can also test your grounds. Go from the grounds in your panel to

(01:09:17):
water pipes, see if you get connectivity there. It's not the best way to test a ground with a multimeter, but it is a lot cheaper than a $500,000
clamp on ground tester.
It's true. I mean, these things are really expensive for some reason, but there there is a way to use a multimeter to to to to test grounds.
So safety things,
clean your machines.

(01:09:37):
Also, now is the time to start shopping for different rates. This could be a it's a shoulder period shouldering period here in May. This is base load territory, so, you know, I don't like to get too much because it gets all touchy.
Guess most of us are. Yeah.
Johnny d, why did you say that, man?
But, you know, so we I know I know a guy in,

(01:10:00):
Wisconsin
who is mining
at a,
I think it's a cheese factory.
We actually all know him, but I don't I don't know if he wants this revealed too much. But, you know, he he's got a really good rate there that he shopped and he figured out and he he did his research on on tariffs and in the arrangement with the power company to get a good rate. And now he's doing

(01:10:20):
incredible things there. So there's a time where you I don't know. You can focus on infrastructure. That's what I mean by focusing on infrastructure. If you have to turn machines off because you're a you're a heat capture kind of guy, there's other work that that you can do right now. And
Altairtech.i0
is a place where you can go to find parts,
accessories. Perhaps you have bad control boards. You need new plugs. You're starting to get a little bit, loosey goosey in there. Maybe you need a new PDU.

(01:10:46):
That's a big deal. When cabling just starts, like, pulling out of a PDU for no reason Mhmm. Because it's all loose in there,
replace that plug, replace that cable, replace that PDU if you have to because that's that's often how the fires start. Is just these loose connections, which I've I've always been a fan of of twist locks. And I I think it's just just from being in telecom because everything we have is twist lock. Twist lock, it's like you push it in and then you twist it. Yeah. Yeah. And then it can't fall out. Little pronged

(01:11:16):
conductor, and it it doesn't fall apart. The fires start when something's
getting loose, and then what happens? Like, for some reason, because it's loose, it, like, makes it Because it's loose because there's a distance
in between the conductors, and now you'll have arcing. And so arcing is open electricity,
and and then that could ground on the on the the chassis and Mhmm. Yeah. So that's where it's it's arcing. That's one thing with, like, mining at home that would scare me. It's like Sure. Unless you really know what you're doing and, like you say, you're you're, diligent at, like, checking all of this stuff. It's like, I don't know.

(01:11:52):
Leaving all that stuff running at your home and not Yeah. So the you know, that's
one thing that you can do for infrastructure as well is is they make these little,
balls,
and they break open
if they're heated to too too high of a temperature, and they automatically
release,
halon or, you know, something like that, some kind of fire suppressant.

(01:12:14):
Oh, okay. A lot of home miners use these
little fireball
thingies. I I forget exactly what they're what they're called. So it's like a breaker that it's like a breaker that releases like a gas that would stop. Yeah. Ah, that's really clever. I didn't know anything about that. Just very mechanical. Like, it basically might just melt the housing and and release everything in there.

(01:12:36):
Can you get those at Ulta? You cannot get those. You can get them on Amazon. They're not that expensive.
Okay.
Things you you know, little stupid things. When I put a shroud on or something like that,
I often don't put all of the screws back in. So maybe you're missing screws that that go, that connect your fan fan guards.
Mhmm. Little things like that. Altair has all of that stuff.

(01:12:58):
You wanna try out an epic UMC control board because, me personally, I really like those epic UMC control boards. I don't know why I'm such like a fanboy for them, but I log on to the machines that I need to
to ramp up and down for different times of of heating, and it takes me a second
to change the hash rate on those, change the fan speed.

(01:13:21):
Doop doop.
You know me, I I don't do a lot of this automatic stuff, you know, like, things that Schnitzel has created throughout the years
to do all of this stuff automatically, and it's very sophisticated, and he's a super smart guy. I'm not a super smart guy, so I just Don't put yourself down. I'm playing some music.
I'm good at finding people who are good at stuff. Uh-huh. Don't put yourself down. You're one of the

(01:13:45):
you found me. I did. I did. You discovered me.
Bitcoin wasn't created. It was discovered, man. Mhmm.
This mean I have to have sex with you? Fuck no.
Harvey Weinstein's with those gross fucking feet. I don't wanna hear you. I've gotta post things like that, so it just puts people off.

(01:14:07):
Yes. I I was attracted to you, and then and now I saw these, you know, feet pics come out. I don't
care who the person is, like, the woman of your dreams, and they have feet like that. You have
right. No.
No. No way.
That is that is rotten. I I showed you my fingers the other day, didn't I as well? They did the same thing. No. But you told me about it. You tested out. The same thing. All the nails cracked. I agree. All the Oh, okay. It's just fucked. Just fucked. Fungus.

(01:14:35):
There's a fungus among us. It's actually not a fungus, though. It's it's just like some
I think it's like where my hands and feet
got just, like, wet and cold for so long doing my previous work. It was like Yeah. It, like, got in and then just, like, cracked
deep enough that it just keeps opening. So That's weird.

(01:14:56):
I mean, you know, I I work on I don't wear gloves, and my hands and feet are cold all the time.
But mine just look like my hands look like I'm, like, 80 years old. You are on you? No. Shut up.
Yeah. You've got, like, proper,
workman hands.
Yeah. They're gross.
Anyway,
after I gotta I gotta go. I gotta go. We get we gotta we gotta get the show moving. I gotta meet that guy. Gonna meet go to deal with stuff. Excavator. Kill some wasps. Yeah. Okay. No.

(01:15:24):
No. I'm not gonna kill wasps now, but I gotta meet the excavator guy at this site to get this equipment off of this trailer because it's Andy's trailer, and he needs his trailer back because his son's seventeen seventeen years old, and he keeps buying,
like, broken ass trucks.
Okay. Alright. This is this thing now. And then he needs his trailer back.
Fucking stressed out. Alright. Alright. Alright. Fine. Fine. Did you find any, talented

(01:15:51):
psychologists
that can help me out? I actually do. I actually do only do have one.
I'm doing incredible. Yeah. She hasn't fixed me, but she is incredible. Oh, well,
you're a hard case. There's limits.
Yeah.
So now is infrastructure building time, altertech.io
has all them little doodads

(01:16:12):
for you. Tons and tons of doodads. If you need new machines,
sometimes that's inevitable. There's there's literally nothing you can do. You have to fucking upgrade your machines. You're worried about these tariffs. Altertech.i0
ships from The United States, so the tariffs are already taking care of you. There's not some kind of surprise coming on your doorstep. Like, hey. You bought this stuff. We valued it at this, and now you all you owe all this fucking money.

(01:16:35):
They actually have stock. They're not drop shipping.
Yeah. Exactly.
It's good. What a unique concept. And they ship to The UK and EU and everything, and it's all very easy peasy lemon squeezy. But what what if I want 1% off?
I think you would go on there and you would type in
ungovernable.
That's the code,
ungovernable,

(01:16:55):
and you will get 1% off.
Indeed. Very good. If you'd like to visit, with the alter tech dot I o team, they will be at the, Bitcoin
conference, Las Vegas, May twenty fifth through twenty seventh.
They'll have all them little cute thing, Loki rigs and bit axles and bit chimneys and stuff, and they'll even have, somebody building bit chimneys blindfolded.

(01:17:20):
Wow.
It's the only way to build them. It's blindfolded, apparently. Yeah.
Wait a minute. You're using your eyes?
What a wimp.
Okay. Let's see what else I got. Well, I'm gonna wrap up the show here. Yeah. Mentions,
the mesh economy box.
If you don't know about it, go
to the Ungovernable Misfits website,

(01:17:42):
and I'm gonna click around here if you don't mind. It's like store
and then Under
it is under store. Okay. So if you wanna order the mesh economy box, it is under store. But if you wanna know what the mesh economy is,
that is under insights.
Okay. And,
that's where where we've written up a little explainer on what the mesh economy is, why we're doing this. Yes. It's small. It starts off with a few providers, but we're going to grow extremely

(01:18:11):
slowly.
Why? It's because I
we need to have the trust level that we have with Otis Bittmeyer Coffee, with barn jerky,
with EVM Park candles. We know these people personally. We know that they're good people. They're not just like, I didn't just come into this space, and now I'm gonna sell a thing for Bitcoin because Yeah. Yeah. Because

(01:18:32):
There's a certain ethos there. So you can understand a little bit about the mesh economy and what we're doing. And if you want to buy this limited edition mesh economy box with a EVM Park orange peel candle, so that candle was made specifically for Un Uncoverable Misfits.
You can't you can't get it from their regular store.

(01:18:52):
That's hand poured in Maryland, soy candle, special fancy cotton wick,
delicious
orange cream, thickle, orange y kinda smell,
and it says orange pill on it.
Or more could you be one of very few people that had that had that.
Also, a Mr. Crown sticker packs, one of each sticker packs one and two, and a bag of Otis Spittmeyer

(01:19:17):
coffee. So you can you can try that out. And then once you do, what we're asking is then then you develop a relationship
with Evie and Park Candles.
As, hey. When I buy candles, I know that I'm going to go there to get them. You develop a relationship with those a bit more. You're not you're not going, and you kinda misspoke on your last show with with Q and A. Oh, fucking hell, there we are.
Yeah.

(01:19:38):
That's okay. All comes out now, doesn't it? It all comes out now. Yeah. So so you can buy you can buy the mesh economy box, but this is this is a an eight box run. Once they're sold out, they're sold out. So we we won't be processing payment for getting the orange pill candle. We won't be processing payment for barn jerky or Otis Bittmeyer coffee, but we are just like the handoff for you to develop a relationship

(01:20:02):
with with Well, when they buy the box, they are paying us. They are that that yes.
For for the box. Yeah. That's correct. I just wanted to clarify that. I don't think I did misspeak. I think, You've never misspoken in your life.
Perfect. It's a way to introduce people to independent
sellers

(01:20:23):
and actually get people spending their Bitcoin.
Very well. Thanks for clarifying that, sir. My pleasure. Also, next up on our mentions,
is the
geyser fund for Ashigaru
open? Jordan was working on that. Mhmm. Is that official? Yeah. I think so.
Yeah. I think it is. I'll I'll check with him later today, but I think that is open. And

(01:20:47):
there will also be a split going forward,
that we didn't mention earlier in the show, which will be to Ashigaru
as well. So a percentage of the splits will be going, obviously, to free samurai, but we also have to look forward,
who is building in the space and and make sure that they're supported as well. So a percentage will be going to Ashigaru too. Very well. Wonderful.

(01:21:11):
Also, as everybody heard on the podcast with Boo Berry from behind the schemes, he is gonna have his satellite spotlight
event,
May 10.
Nice.
Remind people that. Dorsey is still a globalist rat.
Pubkey,
May first
at 7PM
is gonna have a privacy

(01:21:31):
meetup.
And,
you guys, Expatriotic
and Jordan and everyone has been working on an Asha Guru presentation.
Mhmm. And that one of part of that presentation will be given at PubKey May first at 7PM. Would you I'd like to talk about that presentation a little bit.
Yeah.
Well, ex patriotic has been the newest member of ungovernable misfits, and he's been working really hard, him and Jordan really

(01:21:58):
getting this presentation ready so that at different meetups,
people
have prewritten
ready to go presentation that they can give
starting up Ashigaru
and, running it and connecting to a node and doing the testing and everything that you need to be running that.
We like to think that it's really simple and easy to do and the meetups all around the country and around the world can start using it. And,

(01:22:25):
obviously, they're gonna be doing it at PubKey. So pretty excited about that. Fantastic.
That's May 1 at 7PM.
And also, Jordan has been testing some live stream stuff lately. So, hopefully, all of your your live stream stuff will be, soon. You got a launch date for that?
No. But soon, there's gonna be

(01:22:46):
more stuff
live soon. We're doing a lot of stuff here. It's hard to keep up.
It is hard to keep up, especially for me lately. It's like every time I check our group chat, I was like, jeez, man. Yeah. Doing all this stuff.
I can't give up.
I'll be back in the mix, boys. I promise.
Someday. Yeah. There's some exciting stuff. I would say

(01:23:08):
within the next month. Okay. I look forward to it. Maybe I'll make an appearance every now and again. Oh, that would be lovely.
Say hi. Yeah.
What's it, Max? That's up for this episode of Action News.
Okay, mate. Hey. Hey, people. People. I apologize I didn't do any Chinese people impressions for Avron Ministry.

(01:23:29):
Sorry.
Next time. Good things. I mean,
good things, everybody. The the I don't know. It's just like a culmination of work over the past few years is happening
now, and it feels like all at once.
Yeah. It it's all good things, everybody.
Alright, mate. Well, I'll let you get back to your good things. And,

(01:23:50):
we love you all, everyone who's been supporting the show and all the other shows, and,
