Show Notes
This week McIntosh and Kenshin tackle the part of Bitcoin everyone thinks they understand… right up until a transaction gets stuck: fees, mempool dynamics, and UTXO hygiene. They frame fees as a live market for scarce blockspace, explain what you’re actually paying for (sats/vbyte), and show how transaction “weight” changes based on inputs/outputs—why a “cheap” fee rate can still be expensive if your transaction is big. They also cover the two practical “escape hatches” when things go sideways—RBF (Replace-By-Fee) and CPFP (Child Pays For Parent)—plus why wallet fee estimators can be misleading and why mem...

1k Nostr here .. got tired of the algos on X. We do need to figure out something. I know that this payment sending problem is an issue. I see it in my podcast boosts ( or lack there of .. ).

800 Sending you everything I have left in my wallet. Sorry it’s not a lot. A note of encouragement about ai agents. Don’t sleep on them. I’m putting the very finishing touches of my first real skill for the bots I’m building. The show producer bot builds notes based on my topic idea.

All merged and posted in a private git repo that my cohost and I pull from for show prep. It’s early. Bots have flaws but this will be a huge part of ai. Next up is my coding bot Steve ( as in the Woz … ). Go podcasting!!! McIntosh
