    #FreeSamourai

    Samourai Wallet's founders were arrested, indicted, and charged despite following the law. It seems the US government is starting another campaign against privacy, which we cannot allow to remain unopposed.

    P.M.M.
    Episode 5
    Show Notes
     
    What does this episode of P.M.M. stand for?
    Phrequency Mode of Molecules
    Phonotherapy Megahertz & Meditation
    Plebs Mentally Malfunctioning
    The Proper – Pleb Mental Mindset
    Parenting Mentorship & Memory
    Petulant Moody Man-Child
    Perturbed & Maddened Misfits

    Intro: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes & Jon & Max – I Hate You (Globalists)
     
    What’s been going on with the Meshtadel?
    Not a whole hell of a lot, but a the same time a whole hell of a lot. The Meshtadel gets this way for the Northern Hemisphere Meshtadelians, we’re all very busy doing various summer things. Our last call was just a chat and honestly it was really nice to simply bullshit with friends. We’ll get back to a Meshtadel where we cover a specific topic on the next one, but certainly appreciate commiserating and bonding with friends when we have an informal one.

    Phrequency Mode of Molecules
    Alright Profesora Bass-to-the-load, we are going to take your periodic table of elements boosts to a whole-nother-LEVEL by displaying Max’s freakish ability to identify an element simply by the sound of it’s vibration. Turns out Max can see, hear, taste, and feel the distinct difference between elements. It’s a great dinner party trick.

    Phonotherapy Megahertz & Meditation
    We discuss cymatics or the study of visible sound and vibration and how sound affects the human condition.

    Plebs Mentally Malfunctioning
    Are our cell phones emitting a certain frequency that increases estrogen production? It is exceptionally easy to set plebs off in the wrong direction and convince them to cannibalize each other instead of staying focused on our enemies and/or taking care of our families and building relationships withing our local and extended Meshtadels.

    The Proper – Pleb Mental Mindset
    How do we stay focused on our important tasks? How do we keep our metal state healthy and strong? Perhaps phonotherapy can help, or just stop being a little bitch, man up!

    Parenting Mentorship & Memory
    A few years ago, Jon’s #2 girl interviewed Max but that episode never aired as the recording was wrought with corruption. Children have a way of holding on to thing and she has never let Jon forget that that episode never aired. She asked and received the go-ahead from Max to do another interview.

    Petulant Moody Man-Child
    Once again Jon and Max share stories of men that just aren’t going to make it during societal collapse.

    Perturbed & Maddened Misfits
    Charles Francois Bienvenue Myriel writes another incredible article for Ungovernable Misfits called Channeling Anger – Live by Truth. Charles advises that uncontrolled anger leads to mind control and self-sabotage. Being calculated, careful, patient, and low time preference is the path forward. You can read all of Charles’ article on Ungovernable Misfits under “Misfit Rants”.

    ACTION NEWS!!! Is your source for news on the #Bitcoin mining scene! Statistics, #Bitcoinmining news, energy market alpha, comedy relief and as always, witty banter between Jon and Max.
     
    Gear Up!! Ungovernable Misfits style! Rat Poison eh? Yeah we got your RAT POISON RIGHT HERE!!!

    Intro Music: NIN - March of the Pigs

    In this episode of Ungovernable Misfits – ACTION NEWS!!! We mention our Solo Sundays project with Demand’s SV2 build and guide by Urban Hacker. (actually we forgot to talk about it so I’ll drop some info in the show notes). Another Scam befalls the Pleb Miner Mafia, Oklahoma passes a Bitcoin Rights Bill and how it affects miners. Agent P writes and article for UM on his direct DC mining build. We cover another excellent Bitcoin Bugle article from Rod Palmer – CIA Signals Support for OP_CAT. Finally we finish the show with a discussion on how to not be a PIG.

    We begin this episode as we do all shows, by communicating with all of you via podcasting 2.0 boosts. Be sure to Boost on the podcasting 2.0 app of your choice. At Ungovernable Misfits we offer a feature rich podcasting 2.0 experience.

    Jon and Urban Hacker have developed a guide for true solo mining with the help of DEMAND.work. Urban Hacker has two guides on how to get started in his web page, the easy mode and the hackers way. If you have any trouble getting your node setup and mining, let us know, we want every miner to at least have the capability and ability to truly solomine and create their own block template, whether it makes financial sense for you or not, you should still have the knowledge and hardware to accomplish this task.

    Lincoin Mining brings you Statistics like: global hashrate, hash price, hash value, tx fees, and more. Lincoin has made some changes to their payout structures. Minimum payout is now .0001 for lightning and .005 for on chain, make changes as necessary.

    The state of Oklahoma passes a bill that blesses home mining (yay plebs) if local noise ordinances are followed and permits It also ensures fair zoning practices, protects against discriminatory electricity rates, and exempts miners and Noderunners from needing a money transmitter license and liability for transaction validation.

    AVOID GETTING SCAMMED IN TELEGRAM GROUPS BY DORKS POSTING A “GOOD DEAL”!!!

    Don’t be a PIG! Consider every time you get caught up in some fun Twitter drama or insignificant, nit picking spat with another pleb, that your time, energy and attention are focused on the wrong thing. People consume scandal like pigs at the trough, greedily gobbling up every juicy morsel of gossip and scandal. They plunge their snouts into the slop, oblivious to the muck splattering around them, driven by an insatiable, frenzied, and almost grotesque hunger for more. Don’t be a blind consumer, unaware of the world beyond your pen, beyond the trough you’re likely holding in your hand, right now. Don’t be distracted … and… don’t be a pig.

    Bitcoin monthly is a show hosted by Max, Bitcoin QnA and Antomous Brother Rabbit. We cover important updates in the world of bitcoin and open source software.

    We do this monthly to keep listeners informed without having to dedicate hours every day to keep on top of developments. We break things down in a simple and fun way and we welcome questions or topic suggestions via Podcasting 2.0 boosts.
