WHY IS NOT PAYING OUT BOUNTY #9 TO ? Currently, there is a bounty for a FROST Multisig Wallet implementation in the amount of 1 BTC. Stack Wallet started work, in September 2023, on a FROST multisig wallet implementation and has had a compliant version in their app since February of this year. They applied for the bounty and it has been 8 months with no decision from HRF.

Tell us how much you hate KYC Bitcoin, for the new Bitcoiners who only know how to buy Bitcoin with their IDs!

Epic rant at the end. Craig Raw always worth listening to.

(Craig Raw)'s feature request for Broadcast Pool is much needed and we should get more eyes on it. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/30471

Forgive me while I shill another Podcast! Citadel Dispatch EP 5 with Max Tannahill and Diverter_NoKYC! We should have Max and Diverter on again! https://fountain.fm/episode/EdngmpelDhHiJAkJ0yFM

Any comment on NVK and BTClock?

I remember Odell once saying he is only doing this until someone else picks up the Mantel. Not that I want you to stop, but you gotta appreciate Max BitBuyBit's Pod is giving you a run for your money now. #BeUngovernable #UngovernableMisfits

Wen Moon? pls ser, mi familia were promised 200k by conference day ;)

Please don't try a weekly live show! I greatly appreciate the editing work you guys do!

Ask your boy if he's read VALIS by PKD.

Geez so many boosters these days, I've gotta up my amount to try and get read out earlier in the post. Great work on the new format and name!

Wen Maths podcast?

MTM is dead, long live MIM!

RIP #QED

Wish I could have attended this one live but I was dealing with my kids 🫠

You butchered the Monty Hall problem. The setup is 3 doors. 2 goats 1 prize. You select a door. Before opening your door the host reveals a door from the remaining two that contains a goat and asks you if you want to switch your selection to the other unopened door. The hosts action is not random, they always show a goat and never reveal the prize. If you write out the sample space, you will see that switching your choice increases your probability of selecting the prize from an initial value of 1/3 to 2/3. Imagine instead if the host offered you to open both of the other doors or stay with opening a single door. Since the host's actions are deterministic, that is essentially the same thing.

5 min in and pausing to boost. You can show using number theory that continued fraction expansions offer the best rational approximations of irrational numbers in terms of increasing numerators and denominators. The first few fractions in the continued fraction expansion of pi are: 3, 22/7, 333/106, 355/113, 103993/33102, 104348/33215, ... To me 355/113 is the most interesting fraction in this list. Using numbers less than 1000 you get an approximation that is accurate to the order of 10^-7. Also it is 11 33 55 split in two, so easy to remember.

Need to set a reminder to try and catch one of these Live. Is the 9am Eastern the normal time?

Somehow, I don't think Bitcoin fixes this.

Joel is the Ben Gunn I can understand. So many well spoken points were made. The anarchists will not organize, it's a matter of principle.

Fundamentals, your Financial Engineering co-workers would never refer to themselves as engineers because they would have considered it an insult. They were all Doctorates in Physics who looked down on engineers in College, and probably still do today.

BAAAAARRRRRNNN MMIIINNNNEERRR!

Seth, were you a Privacy Focused Bitcoiner before switching to Monero?

Held out for that math at the end 💪 The quadratic "-b" solution is easily derived. The cubic solution I memorized in middle school and is a bit or work but manageable. The quartic solution is a nightmare and involves a lot of refactoring into various different other forms until you reduce it to solving quadratics and cubics. The complexity is such that if a high school text book ever asks you to solve a quartic, you'd be better off guessing than applying the full algorithm by hand.

A confab which Americans can actually understand!
