1k Clip 5. Eh, not really important to me. I don't coinbase or care much about clarity act. Self sovereignty over here

1k Clip 4. Cut, not helpful to the topic or discussion
adevries17Apr 30, 2026
1k Clip 3. Helpful to see where he is coming from and the lense he sees through. I would have liked it to be included since I don't know his background at all
adevries17Apr 30, 2026
1k Clip 2 misses out on the whole point of why bitcoin is a good investment, being scarcity. Mathematics proves only 21million. CUT

4.1k The backwards show idea sounds so fun. All you gotta do is read everything backwards then have Drew reverse the track :P
adevries17Aug 4, 2026
16k Thank you for covering all the kernel stuff. I know it's a lot of work, but I love hearing it. That AMD regression in 7.2 would affect me since that's what my desktop runs, so I'll keep an ear open for the fix
adevries17Aug 4, 2026
4.1k I choose to run the Zen kernel on my stuff. Performance babyyyyyy

2k Thanks for the boost question in the show notes, great addition to the notes
adevries17Feb 26, 2026
16k I am an IT sysadmin that also enjoys coding. LLMs have changed by job a little bit in that I don't have to spend as much time sorting through search results to find solutions to my problems. I'm able to find things sooner and have answers that are more catered to the problem that I am having. For coding, I enjoy doing it and I don't have a pressure to release anything faster than normal so agentic coding hasn't really been a huge part of it yet. If there was a pressure to ship mostly functional programs sooner, I might be using it more but at the moment it is just a fabulous search tool

4.1k Chris, I think you probably would end up spending more BTC if there weren't taxes on it either since all these boosts are essentially a locked up cash flow for you. You'd be able to dip into the boost income and pay the monthly bills with less cost
adevries17Jun 12, 2026
4.1k Edit last boost I WOULD NOT have to do all these calculations
adevries17Jun 12, 2026
4.1k I would spend more sats if there wasn't a capital gains tax on every single transaction. My self hosted lightning would then just become my checking account and I would have to do all these calculations on how much fiat I need to save to pay the bills and put the rest into BTC cold storage. Could take my whole pay in BTC

54k I'm also rethinking my cold storage situation. I wrote a little rust program to roll a virtual dice using the rand crate, then used that running on my desktop which at that time had been online and doing a bunch of things in the background for a while to get some random dice rolls. Going to check out Bitkey and also maybe an ESP32 based seedsigner
adevries17Aug 13, 2026
4.1k Regarding fed reserve... All our govt does is jibber jabber unless it affects their own wealth or life or agenda. They don't care about the middle class and as long as there isn't a revolution, which they're confident there won't be, they can continue just jibber jabbering

10k I've taken the plunge into nixos. I set up a full lightning stack on nix-bitcoin and a side effect of that was to install nixos on my main server at home. Chris, I blame you

16k Chris, I will buy you a bitaxe. Tell me which one and where to ship it. I'm almost done setting up a pool server so we can have a JB Pool
adevries17Dec 4, 2025
33k Catching up, regarding the poverty line, I spend over 23k on housing and I'm in the Midwest in a rural area. What gets me is that all these "experts" never update their formulas even though everything is constantly changing around them. Why do you think that is?

4.1k I think the four year cycle still exists because our political system in the United States is also a four year cycle to an extent. We get at least lately a different president every four years and it just goes back and forth between the two major parties and the four-year cycle is indicative of market during those policy changes that the different parties make and their ethos of how to run the country

8.2k Would the bip110 situation be somewhat solved by having additional node implementations?

4.1k +1 to NixOS node. I don't feel like I ever have to worry about doing updates on my server anymore
adevries17Jul 7, 2026
4.1k I'll take some Saylor sats... Yes Strategy selling is good, along with all the other whales because that means more and cheaper sats for me!!!

96k This was a great episode. I know you were going to try changing the format. I'm excited to see what way that goes. Just wanted to give you some signal on the current format as I get lots of value in each episode. When you choose what to cut, please don't cut the state of the network section. I like hearing that each week

16k For those asking: Mining pool update I have a proof of concept set up. However it is based on the project called P2PoolV2. The payout system doesn't work yet so there's no point for me to share the link and for us to burn energy without a reward. The pool by default uses PPLNS shares but there are other payout methods being implemented. I will update again when there is a minimum viable product of P2PoolV2 available

12k IVE GONE TO PLAID Little bit behind, but I just converted my desktop pc to NixOS. I used nix to build a custom installer ISO so that I could verify everything was hunkydory before doing the needful and having disko wipe the popos install

8.2k No video for me. I prefer audio because it allows me to think critically about what is being said. Video requires more sensory input which takes note brain power. Plus I listen in during the commute the most anyway so video is not feasible anyway
