PCR137 – Mermaids, Entropy, and Synchronicity with Lady Block Jane
In this episode of Plebchain Radio, Avi talks with Swiss-German Bitcoin artist Yena, aka Lady Block Jane, about how vivid dreams and a forest vision pulled her into Bitcoin and birthed works like Dressed in Entropy and the mermaid piece I’ll Take Yours Too, who quietly stacks sats from our “boating accidents.” They get into the gritty reality of hauling physical Bitcoin art across borders, the birth of her A2B project in a Swiss tunnel, and the hilariously doomed “laser eyes” performance at a conference. The conversation closes with Yena’s reflections on taking the pressure off monetizing her gift and how Bitcoin art can act as a bridge for people already walking the path toward sound money and deeper meaning.

PCR136 – The Cypherpunk Bestiary with Max Hillebrand
Max Hillebrand returns to the show to map the cypherpunk “freedom stack” for real life. He digs into open source hardware and works up the stack to Nostr-native coordination (from relay hygiene to posting CoinJoin rounds). We talk private, scalable group communication – what’s missing, what’s promising, and how mixnets and layered encryption fit. Max makes the case for value-for-value as the funding rail that keeps builders sovereign and aligned with users.

PCR133 – WoT's The Deal with David Strayhorn
Summary
David Strayhorn, creator of Brainstorm and Grapevine, joins the show to announce a major initiative to build a decentralized Web-of-Trust for Nostr. David explains his journey from neurologist to trust-protocol architect and details how NosFabrica pivoted from healthcare to tackling the foundational problem of trust that all Nostr applications face.
The discussion covers David's GrapeRank algorithm, a personalized scoring system that uses follows, mutes, and reports to effectively combat spam and impersonation, and how NIP-85 (Trusted Assertions) can deliver these scores to any client. The episode culminates in the official announcement of the "WoT-a-thon," NosFabrica's six-month hackathon designed to kickstart an open-source ecosystem of trust tools, ultimately aiming to make Nostr a safer and higher-signal network for everyone.
