A Pioneer Miner Story (II)
In episode 2 of 2, Jon takes you behind the scenes of a year-long grind to resurrect a coal bed methane site and turn stranded gas into hash. From first setting eyes on a fenced-off relic of Western Pennsylvania’s industrial past to firing up the compressor and plumbing an entire valve bank and trunk line, he share the setbacks, small wins, and the sheer stubbornness it took to keep going. You’ll meet Mark Lidecker—the 50-year oil and gas veteran whose story and mentorship anchored this project—along with the friends and hard‑charging helpers who kept showing up at 3 a.m., threading pipe, moving 40‑foot towers, and dragging generators down goat tracks in Western PA. Jon and Max talk honest energy, regenerative agriculture dreams, and the raw logistics of building an off‑grid operation: scavenging and reviving generators, managing negative pressure and heat, designing for excess gas, and learning the craft one union and leak at a time. More than a technical tale, it’s a lesson in mentorship, faith, family support, and community— the Pleb Miner Mafia, the Meshtadel and countless hands—turning doubt into momentum.

A Pleb Miner Story (I)
HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneSUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/In episode one of two special episodes, Max sits down with Jon for a candid, filthy and surprisingly moving tour from “pleb” garage miner to genuine pioneer. They trace his journey from a 2012 PC experiment and S9 heat-capture hacks, through the China exodus era, to building community with Ungovernable Misfits, Pleb Miner Month/Monthly, and the Meshtadel. Along the way Jon and Max revisit the friendships, prayer calls, old-head mentors, and on-the-ground graft that shaped his thinking—plus the hard stats that kill LARP-y mining dreams. We close on the big pivot: site scouting in Western Pennsylvania, dead ends with utilities, natural-gas learning curves, a providential phone call, and the discovery of a coal-bed methane opportunity sitting almost in his backyard—full circle from pleb to pioneer.It’s an unfiltered story about doing rather than tweeting: heat capture ingenuity, failed deals, community-led breakthroughs, and the relentless grind behind assembling land, power, and gas to make real-world mining work. If you’ve ever wondered how pleb-scale curiosity becomes pioneer competence, this is the blueprint—complete with detours, dents, and a few flaming arrows for good measure.VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/THANK YOU LINCOIN AND LōDGain real-time control, lower energy costs, and unlock new revenue with LōD.io, a grid-aware system built for energy-intensive Bitcoin Mining Data Centers.Lincoin Mining offers the best FPPS mining pool out there.
