Ungovernable Misfits

Sick of being spied on, stolen from, and lied to?

Ungovernable Misfits aim to ignite a rebellious spark in every listener. 

We explore ways to regain privacy and freedom using Bitcoin and open source software.

Freedoms are not granted, they are taken and defended. 

We are rebels with a cause. 

Join us and become Ungovernable.

"Do not excessively covet swords and daggers made by famous masters. Even if you can own a sword or dagger worth 10,000 pieces (hiki, equivalent of 10 mon), it can be overcome by 100 spears each worth 100 pieces. Therefore, use the 10,000 pieces to procure 100 spears, and arm 100 men with them. You can in this manner defend yourself in time of war."

- The Seventeen-Article Injunction of Asakura Toshikage

In this special episode, I had the privilege of speaking with a developer from the Ashigaru open source project, who joined us under the pseudonym Ashigaru Dev to discuss their work on Ashigaru. To protect their identity, they used a voice changer, highlighting the risks faced by privacy advocates in today's digital landscape.

We discussed the motivations behind the creation of the Ashigaru, a project born from the need to continue the legacy of the Samourai Wallet after its development ceased. The Ashigaru team, composed of long-time users and developers familiar with the programming languages, initially made improvements for personal use before realising the broader community could benefit from their work.

The conversation covered the enhancements made to the software, including updates to the post-mix spend features and the expanded Paynym ecosystem. We discussed the challenges of maintaining privacy in Bitcoin transactions without tools like Whirlpool and explored alternative methods such as peer-to-peer coin joins and atomic swaps.

We also touched on the importance of building trust within the community, especially for non-technical users who rely on others to verify the safety and integrity of open-source projects. The Ashigaru team is committed to transparency and encourages user feedback to improve the application.

In the wake of the Samourai project being dismantled by government decree, remember this: do not be overly attached to the singular, high-profile software solutions that once defined the success. Its value can be matched by tens of hundreds of developers, each armed with simple, robust, and widely accessible tools. Let's use the spirit, the knowledge, and the resources we have to forge a new initiative, one that embodies the strength of many rather than the complexity of one. In this way, we can continue to innovate, resist, and thrive, proving that multi-pronged resilience is greater than any single point of failure.

100 SPEARS, 100 PIECES | ASHIGARU INTERVIEW

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.

Moving Beyond The Hardware Wallet with Foundation

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.

Merry Christmas Misfits Pt. 1 | 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.

Welcome to the Crew | MONERO MONTHLY 01

In this episode, we dive into the world of Bitcoin, privacy, and open-source tools. We kick off with a light-hearted discussion about New Year's celebrations and personal resolutions, including a candid chat about alcohol consumption and lifestyle changes. The conversation then shifts to the latest updates in the Bitcoin ecosystem, including the travel rule's impact on privacy and the IRS's new regulations on non-custodial trading services.

In this episode of The Confab, I reconnect with my eccentric yet brilliant friend, Ben Gunn. We dive into a catch-up session, reflecting on our last podcast and the whirlwind of events that have unfolded since. Ben, known for his unique perspective and relentless drive, shares updates on his ambitious projects and the exciting developments at his new site.

We explore the potential of creating a hub for like-minded individuals, particularly Bitcoiners, who are looking for a space to innovate, collaborate, and build. Ben's vision of a multi-use site that caters to various projects, from co-working spaces to fabrication workshops, is both inspiring and practical. We discuss the importance of having a physical location where creativity and collaboration can thrive, away from the noise of the world.

Throughout the episode, we touch on the challenges and triumphs of building something meaningful in today's world. We also delve into the importance of community, trust, and shared resources in creating a sustainable and innovative environment. Ben's passion for his work and his commitment to fostering a supportive community is evident, and it's clear that exciting times are ahead for Ungovernable Misfits and its listeners.

Join us as we break the ice, both literally and metaphorically, and explore the possibilities of what can be achieved when driven individuals come together with a shared purpose. Whether you're in the UK or beyond, this episode is sure to spark ideas and inspire action.

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.

Todays guest is Zach Herbert the CEO of Foundation devices foundationdevices.com 
 
This show is a little different and not really bitcoin related but I really think you are going to enjoy it anyway. 
 
After messaging each other back and fourth about ancient technology, UFOs and psyops, Zach and I decided to continue the conversation on the show. With everything going on in the world its clear we need real change, sometimes looking back gives us the best path forward.
 
We spoke about Egypt, the pyramids, Tesla, production of energy and much more. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.
