Great show as usual! Thanks for the value! Even if Bitcoin is flat for another quarter or two, TONS of great work has been happening. It just gives us plebs more time to DCA at these super low prices!

I used to run both knots and core. Only run core now. Not a fan of property seizure in general

My last boost was a pocket boost, but my pocket knows well. Have all the sats in my wallet! This is the last standing pure signal Bitcoin Podcast IMO. There's bias and conflicting incentives everywhere. Appreciating the v4v model more than ever. Grateful you're still beaming this work to the world!

Hey Chris, got any Starship troopers jingles? “I’m doing my part” could be fun to have. Great episode as always.

I need to open some new Lightning channels to connect me to regular merchants I use. What would you suggest to find the right nodes to open channels to? Is there a tool I could use to input my payments history and help me find the right channel partners? After a long stable run I’m suddenly experiencing lots of failed payments to merchants I’ve been paying for years, including Fountain for your boosts! Got any tips…

Re fold credit card review. I recommend lava secured credit card is better. Cash back is 2.8% on 99% use plus 6.5% interest rate on savings account, which can be moved back and forrth betwern savings and credit card account instantly.

https://fountain.fm/clip/dqidRsWFbLpasGKDfxLi is the "We Call Them Poor" song, but the artist is on X, can you poke them and get them to add the song to wavlake? I dont give my data to Elon or Zuck 😂

Clipped the first song you shared and made a playlist but waiting on Fountain to fix the bug I found 😇. How do we share clips of boosts to add to the list you randomly select from? Became a premium fountener so I can save on the fees once I start zapping the artists $1 a song that I add to said playlist 👊

Great reporting on Iran and crypto news- I wonder how much of the negotiations are focusing on how oil from the Middle East is paid for and with what form of money

re bip110: best case scenario is that the forced-move game theory that Mechanic describes actually teaches node runners that they shouldn't be ambivalent, now or in Bitcoin's future, lest they get played by a motivated minority. Maybe this was always the goal...
