Hi guys, just catching up on shows I’ve missed while I’ve been busy. Got me wondering- how do you go with accounting for your ‘after the event’ earnings from streaming and boosts? I’m always interested to hear your summaries of how much you’re generating as I love the V4V model. Presumably what you mention each show is what you see live but do you keep track of what comes in later and add that to the subsequent live totals or is it just too hard to deal with?

In response to last week's baller boost with Hank, there's also a another Linux conference coming up for Seattle called SeaGL, happening next month on November 8th and 9th over at the Washington State University. I would love to hear you guys cover it as well. https://seagl.org/ Also, this is another boost to get Producer Jeff up there. I really want to drive over there as well, but would need a couch to crash on since it would be a tight budget. Or we could just camp in that "backyard" the studio has. 😝 Like always love listening to you guys and as the Podfather says. Go Podcasting!

I think the livestream all will probably great work for you. You could also set up a memberful account like what Jupiter Broadcasting does and they distribute the raw/no ads live shows from there too. Just an idea so you can generate some monthly income.

In the spirit of listener participation, I’ve decided to take a drink with you at each mention of nix. It only seems fair as a show of support. Also a +1 for Fountain with Nostr and +1 for listening at 1.5x ! Cheers guys !

Thanks for the pointer to Coder Radio, I’ve added that one to my fountain stream and will boost there with details about my referral code exchange. Love what you guys are doing and love the V4V model!

I used to play trumpet when I was in school. I still even have the old trumpet in my closet just collecting dust. Needs polishing work but every once in awhile, I'll play it. Honestly got more value out of the music theory because it helps me understand the basic principles of things a little easier. Anyways wish your daughter's good luck.

This Week in Bitcoin has become one of the main podcasts I never miss. Chris is also a podcasting OG, so if you like Linux then I’d recommend checking out some of the other Jupiter Broadcasting shows.

My vote is to keep including the FUD busting. Equally, call out organizations in the Bitcoin ecosystem that are doing the wrong thing. They don’t help the cause and in some cases they just need guidance rather than them deliberately doing wrong.

Loved the Gaming episode! I'm more of a competitive fps player so Overwatch, The Finals, and Splitgate for me. Like Brent I have never played StarCraft so he's not alone. For single player games, I'm currently playing Hogwarts Legacy. Though back up your saves cause Steam Cloud can be a bit finicky with multiple devices. Nearly lost 30hrs of gameplay if it wasn't for my steamdeck being shutdown when it happened. Overall, I definitely would like to see more gaming content. Might be an excuse if you guys Livestream with peertube or owncast if that's the case. Even Zap.stream has a platform built on Nostr and Sat Streaming. Or just an episode covering selfhosted live streaming. Rehellio is my tag on Steam if anyone is curious. Can't wait to see ya over at LFNW!

I'm really interested in what Cannonical has with Private Mobile Networks. Currently, I work with a local ISP that uses mostly Ubiquity AirMax Radios for Internet, but am looking into alternatives. This might be the solution to look into on our end for last mile connections. Plus we already have a few Microwave Connections so understand the licensing process. Thanks for covering this and I will let you know if it pans out on our end. Also hope to see you at LFNW. It always a hoot to talk to you and listen to your IT snanagans.

While I love to hear more gaming stuff in general, I think just discussing your experience instead of listening to clips would be the best way to go forward. Just hearing you guys playing and not having visual context was the confusing part. Otherwise you're better off just creating a gaming video instead as extra content for those curious. Eitherway, I'll see ya at LFNW! Oh yeah, yes for the TUI challenge. I have a low power laptop that I can do this on as well.

I get things are hard atm, but I wouldn't give up on the Bitcoin side. Keep it there, but also promote more of your paypal donations and amazon wishlist. Your music podcast really introduces me to all sorts of rock music and it is awesome. Even with your upcoming homestead podcast, you should enable it cause for me I mainly sat stream and it would suck to lose the ability to do that on your podcasts. Either way, I hope to hear more from ya and also the music you promote. Double-shot!

Yeah I have to be careful during the holiday season as well. My little sister is a heart patient and we have to be vigilant. Unlike last year, she was down for the count for nearly a month. And I think she also caught pneumonia in the process too. So yeah, I understand your vigilance when it comes to making sure you're not getting sick as much as possible, and especially with the norovirus. Anyways, I hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving. This is a back in time boost, so I'm still catching up.

Back in time Boost - During our Thanksgiving Honday, we ended up qualifying for two turkeys at our local WinCo. Sad part I didn't realize this till I got back with an item we initially forgot. So I had to run back again to grab another Frozen Turkey. It still sitting in the freezer to this day. We'll probably cook it for new years or Christmas. Anyways have a Happy Holidays! I'm about a month behind in my podcasts, but I am catching up!

When it comes to running relays, you guys can probably run your own filtered relay. Because if you take a look at a relay called filter.noster.wine, it has a way of aggregating multiple relays and giving you a feed. This is designed to reduce spam on the nostr network and also battery life because it's there's less rela's ones phone has to communicate to. So, if each podcast app has its own relay to handle its own community, then PodcastIndex can just take in those feeds that are submitted and then aggregate them together into a single global feed. Then that way that gives you a central information point, but if you guys go down, each podcaster has their own relay and then can handle their own loads. Just my two cents, still love you guys and I'll bet you do. Go podcasting.

The interview that Gardner Bryant did with Kyle from the Bazzite did a good overview of the situation. In all actuality if it came to it, this might be a situation where if 32-bit is important for steam and game preservation, it should be up to Valve to provide a way for this. The steam client already uses containers runtimes for stabilization so this also could apply to 32-bit support. Valve can also maintain there own repository of 32-bit libraries that distributions can pull from instead too. Also 3rd party repositorys are a thing and I wouldn't put it past someone to maintain on for this very reason too. Love ya Noah and Steve!

I have to say fountain is working quite nice. I have an audio bug, but they got back to me with having a fix for the 1.1.8 release. Here's hoping. With that said, I would love an ability to add a song to my library from the player screen or a quick add of the tracklist of music podcasts to a playlist. It would be nice if the posts would format better on the nostr overall. It looks nice on fountain with linking to clips, podcasts, and/or songs, but on primal for example, it just shows the boost bot which isn't helpful. Also cross posting to activitypub would be awesome too. Mostr.pub by soapbox could be a way todo it. Eitherway, excited with what fountain is doing and what it has going down the road.

    Definitely discuss politics as is relevant to Bitcoin. By the time you are making your next episode, my guess is that the election will have a clear outcome. A good episode topic would be giving your analysis on what the victor means for Bitcoin based on whatever information or events we have.

    Update... Well that was a bust with River. I did the ID verification, KYC BS, and the next day, my account was closed before I even had a chance to buy any Bitcoin. I had issues before with my address but this is a first for a exchange... Oh well... at least there are other ways to buy Bitcoin.

    Finally got my account made with River and likely the kyc process wasn't painful. Had issues in the past due to my address. I still have some banking things I need to complete before I can start buying Bitcoin, but thank you for the recommendation and the affiliate link. I might do the saving account that River have going but I have my reservations. Also had a bad week with my fountain wallet locking up due to a transaction. I'm realizing that I need to self sovereign my lightening wallets with something like alby. Eitherway still Loving the show and look forward to learning from ya.
