In this episode, Oshi and I catch up on the realities of shipping chocolate in summer heat, then dig into a lively batch of boosts, listener notes, and questions from the YADA community. We talk Bitcoin mining setups, Bitaxe experiments, solo mining versus pools, Lightning channels, node-running, and the practical side of privacy and security—from Wasabi, Obscura, GrapheneOS, and Signal to BTCPay Server, Branta, custom domains, and password management. We also share a few updates from the grassroots Bitcoin world, including local meetups, market-style commerce, and why casual, outdoor meetups can be such a powerful way to onboard people into actually using Bitcoin.We also continue our permaculture series with principle number four: apply self-regulation and accept feedback. That leads us into a bigger conversation about patience, observation, moving plants when they’re struggling, deer destroying gardens, crow deterrents, and how problems often contain the seeds of their own solutions. Along the way, we reflect on good deeds, karma, and the way helping others seems to loosen knots in our own lives. We wrap with updates on our shops, some maker talk around freeze-dried goods and 3D printing, and a shoutout to the growing circle of people building real value-for-value culture around Bitcoin and community.You Are The Algorithm / YATA Podcast: https://www.oshigood.us/Oshi: https://www.oshigood.us/Sats 4 Snacks: https://sats4snacks.com/Take My Sats: https://www.takemysats.com/Local Bitcoiners Podcast: https://localbitcoiners.com/Fountain: https://www.fountain.fm/Nostr Value Pack: https://www.takemysats.com/nostr-value-packOCEAN Mining: https://ocean.xyz/Braiins: https://braiins.com/Bitaxe: https://www.bitaxe.org/Solo Satoshi: https://www.solosatoshi.com/AxeOS: https://axos-project.com/docs/Wasabi Wallet: https://www.walletwasabi.com/Obscura VPN: https://obscura.com/GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/BTCPay Server: https://btcpayserver.org/Branta: https://branta.pro/aboutSpaceship: https://www.spaceship.com/Bitwarden: https://bitwarden.com/Signal: https://signal.org/download/Pirate Ship: https://www.pirateship.com/Proton Mail: https://proton.me/mailEpik: https://www.epik.com/Wisp: https://wisp.mobile/Amber: https://github.com/greenart7c3/AmberSatoshi's Sip: https://www.satoshissip.com/Bitcoin And Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news/id1438789088 Join us on Nostr: Oshi (npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh) & Permanerd (npub1zqdpzty2mshxncqqxy2078qax6mlehsxmpx5095wtxw4tpepkr0s2ce6fj)Send an email: [email protected]
