Merry Christmas Misfits Pt. 2 | 2024 Year in Review
In part 2 of the 2024 Year In Review, we check into the ever-changing landscape of Bitcoin mining statistics. Over the past year, the hash value has seen a significant drop, impacting miners' earnings. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in the mining industry, including the timing of buying mining gear and the innovative projects undertaken by the community, such as solar mining builds, Solo Sundays and yes.. shitaxes.It was the first year of a show dedicated to Meshtadel meanderings titled PMM, which stands for whatever you want it to stand for. Pastuerized Milk is Malnutrition, Pleb Made Mechandise, Personal Meshtadel Meetings...the list goes on. Anyways, it was a great year for PMM, exploring many broad topics and creating a show that adds to the pulse of a cicrular economy. In 2025, we hope to add to that pulse.Lastly, we go over our specials that ended 2024 breaking down the Ashigaru episode and it's significance. Also, Foundation has a new device. Not sure if you knew! So check that out. It's been a wild ride of a year and we hope to keep the pace up for you guys in 2025. A lot of big things on the way and we hope you'll continue to support this grassroots initiative as much as you can.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comLINCOIN MINING Struggling to keep up with the mining scene? @lincoinmining provides cutting-edge software and strategies to maximize your ROI.

A Christmas Brief | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 47
The Bitcoin Brief is a show hosted by Max and Bitcoin QnA. We cover important updates in the world of bitcoin and open source software. It is our imperative to provide some education along the way too, so that the misfits can expand their knowledge base and become more sovereign as a result. We do this every second week to keep our listeners informed without having to dedicate hours every day to keep on top of developments. We break things down in a simple and fun way and we welcome questions or topic suggestions via Podcasting 2.0 boosts.SHOW DETAILS We discuss the recent events in New York, including a multisig workshop and a Bitcoin trivia night, highlighting the successful launch of Foundation's Passport Prime hardware.We explore the legal troubles of Craig Wright, who has been sentenced to a suspended prison term for contempt of court, and the ongoing legal battle involving Samurai Wallet, which has been postponed to March 2025. The episode also covers the positive news from the Tornado Cash case where a motion to dismiss was initiated by Roman Storm's legal team. Additionally, we discuss vulnerabilities in the Wabi Sabi protocol and the Lightning Network, urging users to update their software to protect their privacy and funds. The episode concludes with a festive AI-generated song written by Max, celebrating the ungovernable spirit of the podcast's community and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comSPONSORSFOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.

Moving Beyond The Hardware Wallet with Foundation
In this episode, we dive into an exciting announcement with Zach and Q from Foundation. After two years of hard work, they unveil the team's latest creation, the Passport Prime, a revolutionary personal security platform. Unlike traditional hardware wallets, Passport Prime combines the features of a hardware wallet with those of a YubiKey, offering multi-factor authentication, encrypted storage, and an extendable app platform for third-party developers. This open app platform aims to empower developers to build security applications, contrasting with Ledger's closed ecosystem.Zach and Q discuss the meticulous design process behind Passport Prime, highlighting its unique industrial design, including a curved screen and CNC'd aluminum chassis. They emphasize the device's durability, featuring Gorilla Glass and a high-quality IPS touchscreen display.The conversation shifts to the device's capabilities, which extend beyond a typical hardware wallet. Passport Prime supports various applications, including a 2FA codes app, a security key application, a file browser with a unique AirLock feature, and a seed vault app. These features make it a Swiss army knife for personal security, allowing users to securely store and manage their digital assets.KeyOS, the operating system powering Passport Prime, is introduced as a microkernel-based OS written in Rust, offering modularity, resilience, and enhanced security. The open-source nature of KeyOS allows third-party developers to create apps for the platform, with Cake Wallet being the first to integrate.The episode also covers the innovative Quantum Link Bluetooth, which ensures secure communication between Passport Prime and smartphones. This feature, along with the device's modular design, addresses potential security concerns while enhancing user experience.Finally, the hosts discuss the backup solutions for Passport Prime, utilizing NFC key cards and optional cloud backups to provide a seamless recovery process. The episode concludes with details on the device's availability and pricing, highlighting the team's dedication to creating a high-quality, user-friendly product.IMPORTANT LINKShttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernablehttps://foundation.xyz/beyondungovernablecrew@proton.mehttps://github.com/betrusted-ioVALUE 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 Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.
