Into the Purple-Verse

Building on the base layer with SHA1 hash collisions are the most galaxy brain thing since Adam Back's hashcash. Why haven't I heard more about this?🤯

Full disclosure, I haven't finished the episode yet, but these Roundtable episodes are always so much fun! Credit where credit is due, it was Rob who mentioned how well-timed your construction fund lump-sum. Keep up the great work! 🦴

Bitcoin Meetup at Good Day Brewing in Perris, California on April 24th, 2026. Buy a beer, burger, or soda with bitcoin over the lightning network. Meet plebs. Join the mission. https://951plebs.com

Grrat episode!

Happy birthday!

I really enjoyed this read and your commentary afterwards. I've been thinking a lot recently about the binary political system here in the US and the perverse incentives it promotes. Our political system incentivizes polarity and division at its core. The only way to build your following as a party is to demonize the other, and embrace the far fringes on your political side as this is far easier than actually attempting to reach across the proverbial or literal aisle. It is as though at the core of our society there is a pervasive and powerful force of division that splits us apart from each other. Like gravity pulls all things towards centers of mass over time, this force drives us apart with time. And the worst part, our systems can't seem to overcome this internal force. We can only unite when an outside force drives us to realize that we have more in common than we have apart. It could be war, economic peril, disease, or natural disaster, but some powerful external force is always needed to pull us from the event horizon of what divides us. While I have no concrete thoughts yet on how we fix this yet, it's something that's been on my mind. Bitcoin gives me hope as a system that exists outside our political divisions, offering the same hope of individual monetary sovereignty to all who would embrace it. I don't know what the future holds, I belive things get worse before they improve, but I have hope.

Great article!

Awesome episode!

@npub1aeh2zw4el… Encrypting the Spark wallet with an nsec was a great idea. What do you think about backing up the nsec using NIP-06? Am I the only freak that likes this NIP?

I used Shakespeare to vibe code my new meetup website. It has NIIP-52 calendar events, links, and a NIP-23 blog. I am considering adding a NIP-15 merch store/support page, but haven't figured out all the details yet. I'll share it next week under a new npub. I love the Bitcoin meetup guide on GitHub. It's giving me a lot of Great ideas.

This was fucking great guys. I started using the espy.you website to find hexadecimal color codes for my next vibe code project. Great tool. 🔥

I thought clawstr was a shitcoin before I saw Derek talk about it on nostr. For the record, I am 99.99999999% sure Marti has nothing to do with it. The only reason I am not 100% sure is because I can't prove a negative. :)

🤙

Great show Marty. Free Samourai!

I make greeting cards for my kids that pay them Bitcoin with lightning and Cashu. It gives a visual, tangible representation of electronic cash. That's why I think it's a useful tool for teaching smaller children how to earn, spend, and save sats. Because you can't tell a five year old to read the White Paper. "Put away The Cat In The Hat Tommy! It's time to have fun staying rich with BIP39!" So I think Cashu is a great first step. "Thank you you for putting away you're toys Tommy. Here is a piece of paper redeemable for 1,000 sats." Show , don't tell.

👍

@egge Current was the only client I know of that uses NIP06, BIP39 words for keys. Are there any others?

Yo Chris! You can host many of the Start9 services over the clear net by: - side loading Cloudflare Tunnel - Adding a domain - entering the id:port number in the cloudlare tunnel section of cloudflare. You can find this info in the manifest.yaml file at https://github.com/Start9Labs/albyhub-startos/blob/main/man…

Keep up the good work.

Great episode. Fedimint is getting interesting.

Set up a test account with Iris. The automatic npub.cash address you mentioned is amazing.

This part about the game theory was super fucking ridiculous. It looks like he randomly picked some game theory thought experiments on Wikipedia to argue Bitcoiners pretend to care about game theory to pretend their money is "scientific" rather than "ideological." Satoshi describes the 51% attack using the Gambler's Ruin problem, not the Prisoners Dilemma. I read that yesterday and was like..What the hell is this guy even talking about? 🦆

2nd time listening while out for a #CYCLESTR npub1vygzr642y6f8gxcjx6auaf2vd25lyzarpjkwx9kr4y752zy6058s8jvy4e @npub1d3f4m9dgv… never disappoints.

This episode really changed my thought process on what I’m doing, and the direction I want to take, thanks.

First time listener. Business Cat, I followed you for years on Twitter until I deleted my account and went nostr-only. Happy to see (hear) you again! Followed you, the show, and Fundamentals on nostr. Can't wait for the next episode! Love the casual conversational style of this! Woof!

Great episode. I especially like the idea of calculating the risk of working a 9-5 through a Bayes's Theorem lens.

Why do politicians focus on "possible terrorist attacks", but they don't mention the gangs from Chile flying to the US to rob NFL players and that dude from the Matrix?

What do you think about theEFF's dice list to create secure passwords? Bitwarden/Vaultwarden can create these with a click of a button too. https://www.eff.org/dice

This was a great episode!

Always a great time, thanks!

People are using magic the gathering cards from surveil.cards as entropy to generate BIP39 words. 😲 That seems a little wreckless.

I didn't know Parler was banned by Amazon overlords.
