#6 Proof of Humanness

We open the mailbag and read your boostagrams. I share some Podhome stats (3,081 all‑time downloads; 2,042 “unique” listeners) and we talk through what those numbers really mean. Then we swap shipping war stories: UPS vs. PO Boxes, SurePost handoffs to USPS, claims purgatory, and why for PO Boxes you should usually default to USPS. We also kick around Canadian cross‑border shipping, cacao logistics with Bitcoin Beans, and why a dollar or two of insurance can save your bacon.From there, we get opinionated about personalized packaging—handwritten thank‑you notes, proof‑of‑humanness, and keeping the small‑town Nostr vibe. Market Square shout‑out goes to Satoshi Coffee (I use it in my coffee‑crunch hodl butter). We wrap with baseball kid‑league updates, old‑school gaming. You are the algorithm—send boosts, notes, and movie picks!'Fountain' podcast app: https://play.fountain.fm/home'Alby' browser extension (Lightning): https://getalby.com/alby-extension'Podcasting 2.0' (official hub): https://podcasting2.org/'Nostr' protocol (overview): https://nostr.com/'Wisp' Nostr client: https://wisp.mobile/'Podhome' podcast hosting: https://www.podhome.fm/'Start9' sovereign home server: https://start9.com/'Sparrow Wallet' (Bitcoin): https://www.sparrowwallet.com/'COLDCARD Q' signing device: https://coldcard.com/q'Satoshi Coffee Co.': https://sats.coffee/'Bitcoin Beans' (Proof‑of‑Work cacao): https://www.bitcoinbeans.co/about'OshiGood' shop: https://oshigood.us/'SpaceBoots' on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2104390/SpaceBoots/'theHunter: Call of the Wild' on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/518790/_/_/'Patapon 2 Remastered' (PlayStation): https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/patapon-2-remastered/'Gran Turismo 7' (official site): https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/products/gt7/'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' (IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/'Monty Python's Life of Brian' (IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079470/'The Castle' (1997, Australian film) (IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118826'Perfect Days' (2023) (IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27503384'Xenohormesis' (background): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenohormesis Join us on Nostr: Oshi (npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh) & Permanerd (npub1zqdpzty2mshxncqqxy2078qax6mlehsxmpx5095wtxw4tpepkr0s2ce6fj)Send an email: [email protected]
