Figuring out how to use the important 'interaction' functions of Fountain -- & moreso NOSTR -- are NOT easy, even for an "everyday technically competent" person like this 'NON-Coder" Boomer - who did develop a moderate competency with a Command Line interface ('CLI') with DOS batch commands. Anyway, if you have a subscription offer for your Once Bitten podcast, I'll gladly subscribe - but only P2P, w/o any fiat trolls (in the ORIGINAL meaning!) in between!

Hi Daniel; LOOONG time listener, FINALLY, (MAYBE?) figuring how to get Fountain connected to NOSTR, so I can Boost, Zap, subscribe - & generally just participate as a full citizen & Lifetime Committed Bitcoiner! Just minutes ago, the Fountain app allowed me to FINALLY link (or perhaps RE-link?) to the (2nd) NOSTR acct I set up back last May, when I tried to subscribe to Ced Youngleman's also excellent Bitcoin Matrix pod. Sporadically since I set up that (2nd) NOSTR acct back in May -- & much more 'intensely' over the last month or so, I've been trying to get that Fountain-NOSTR connection done, but could never see a way to do that from either side, until suddenly just now, Fountain finally offered a screen to connect to NOSTR that actually made the connection!

Wonderful combination of Collum & Dixon, trying - & perhaps succeeding - in making sense of the apparent, and actual, insanity all around!

It's quite remarkable how dedicated Preston is to Bitcoin and more recently adjacent 'IT' realms (especially 'AI') -- AND to keeping his Listeners current on these rapidly-evolving fields. So it's not hard to imagine that he's dealing with some really important thing(s) right now. I'm sure ALL his listeners/ viewers wish him every success, and that we all eagerly await his return as soon as he can!

Wonderful, very informative rip! TC has worked out how to cover fundamental tech aspects of Bitcoin in a way that newbies can fairly easily understand. But he also offered new nuggets for much more knowledgeable ppl! This episode will be great as reinforcement and greater context, for the beginning xfers I walked my siblings thru a few days ago. THANKS, guest TC, and Mentor hosts!

Fascinating rip, Cedric, Jason! Especially that Northwestern Mutual is an early -- & ongoing -- investor in Meanwhile. I have 3 policies w/ NML, & have been very concerned that they needed to start including Bitcoin in at least their asset allocation. Very heartened to learn that they've been engaging w/ Bitcoin for some time already!
