Come on Adam, leave your hatred of liberals, and politics in general, to other shows. This is a podcast boardroom, not a political podcast.

Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you guys do behind the scenes for the us Podcasters out here! Also +1 to the idea of putting an on-chain Address in the funding tag. I’ve definitely heard from a few listeners that would support via onchain, because that’s where they already have their stats.

I will give Fountain some grace….. just been frustrated at the NOSTR switch up. Fountain was finally way less buggy for past year… but I understand there trying best and working hard. Just really loved the app before this. All love

Hi Brent, on my nixos laptop the KDE indexer would sometimes wake the laptop from sleep about a minute after the laptop seemed to sleep. This config turns off the indexer. https://github.com/nikolarobottesla/infra-nix-config/blob/m…

The non-gameplay bits were good and will be helpful when I'm chatting with others or thinking about what I can setup for my kiddo.

I've heard some rumblings about the R36S and Max in the Love2D community. It would be very cool to see the R36 gain a little traction as a target platform for amateur game developers.

Realized I still wanted to connect with my NA Fam and such so if u see a new Gene Everett account it’s me 👍 (@GeneEverett333) Even me with my NA trained brain, I started arguing and falling for the silly stuff and needed a break. Doctor prescribed me some Curry & Keeper with a side of NA! Appreciate ya’ll very much! Cheers!

All respect to Dave, he’s wrong. I notice right away when a podcast isn’t up. It’s not a tiny group at all paying attention.. and even Rogan, if it’s up one place and not another Jo’s hears about it from thousands. Adam is spot on

The next time you need an EV charger I recommend openevse. It is open hardware/software. https://openevse.com/ I bought mine in 2017. It lives in my garage in MN. I have had to fix it twice but ordered the parts fixed it myself. I just ordered the esp32 based wifi module to upgrade the original esp8266 which will let me run new firmware with features I'm excited about. I just started using the HACS integration as well. I don't have solar yet but openEVSE has features for charging based on solar production.

Anyone here that’s new. I will be honest I’ve disagreed with Moe a quite a few things. But I sure appreciate the time and work. Personally my favorite trilogy is episode 44-45-46 go back and listen if your new here and caught on post episode 50. Starting at episode 1 makes most sense but if ur a casual listener I’m telling u 44-46 is a trilogy that should be put on CD and mailed to e dynamical citizens. Good Job Moe! You too Adam!

@npub12rv5lskct… said "get in touch with me directly if you want to work on/with #cashu". 🙋‍♂️Hi, right here! I'm respecting his "don't Nostr DM me" profile note but wasn't able to find him in my Matrix client... I want to use trusted Cashu mints as a fundamental piece of an escrow system that backs a free market of bounties and work-for-hire (over Nostr, of course) I already have a minimally-viable relay implementation and a web client that handles the happy-path actions. I've integrated zaps for escrow payments and funds dispersal. Deeply-embedding Cashu mints into the escrow system will really take this idea where it needs to go. If you're ever available to share some thoughts on the design or provide some Cashu guidance I would be deeply appreciative @npub12rv5lskct… ! You know where to find me. Thanks! (If I don't respond to a DM it means I definitely didn't see or receive it. Tag me in a note in that case!)

    Regarding #Bitcoin Knots, I have been trying to read the tea leaves based off of the reporting you are providing here. Well, the news in this episode + the great boost about the problems with Core’s recent actions were enough to push me over to the land of Knots.

    I’ve been following Bitcoin since 2013, and while I empathize with the current debate around OP_RETURN, I do wish there was more of a focus on solutions to a specific problem. I’ve never been a huge fan of the idea of the lightning network being the be all end all solution for scaling, and the Bitcoin community could benefit from all the research from other ecosystems. I currently think a decentralized, trust minimized, censorship resistant rollup style “layer 2” would be great for Bitcoin, and I hope the community starts working backwards from the end goal to find the optimal solution for this kind of technology. This is how the forks that allowed the lightning network to operate were accomplished, so I’m sure we can do the same once again. As always, love the show!
