A Prescription for Privacy | The Confab 30: Vik Sharɱa
In this Confab, Max sits down with Vik Sharɱa, founder and CEO of Cake Wallet, for a candid journey from his early hacking days on the Apple II, through decades in the steel industry, to discovering Bitcoin in 2013 and Monero in 2016.
Vik shares the eye‑opening moment Coinbase shut his account for a small darknet market purchase of antibiotics—an incident that catalysed his deep dive into privacy and ultimately inspired Cake Wallet’s creation. Max and Vik explore why privacy should be a default, how Monero’s out‑of‑the‑box protections compare with Bitcoin’s more complex privacy tooling, and why a multi‑coin world empowers users rather than divides them. Max and Vik also dig into the rapid rise of AI: how it’s reshaping software development, enabling non‑coders to build real tools, and what it might mean for self‑custody and user experience in the months ahead.
Vik reflects on the growing global demand for financial privacy and access—especially via stablecoins as on‑ramps—while emphasising real‑world utility as the backbone of value. He recounts Cake’s experimental culture (silent payments, PayJoin v2, Lightning via Spark) and the team’s willingness to learn in public. Max and Vik wrap on why decentralised money and local/secure AI can help people everywhere earn, spend, and build without permission, and why he’s more optimistic today than he was a few years ago about privacy tech gaining mainstream traction.

St. Patrick's Day Slop | The Confab 29: Rod and Dick
In this Confab, Max sits down with veteran journalists Rod Palmer and Richard “Dick” Greaser to take the pulse of Bitcoin culture after a year away from the fray. They dive into the surge of intra-community debates (from node client wars to “paper Bitcoin” angst), why pleb politics resemble bread-and-circuses, and how Maxi Madness—now running in parallel on Nostr and X—has evolved into a spirited, democratic spectacle that both celebrates and sharpens the culture.
Max, Rod and Dick also explore the uneasy overlap of AI and Bitcoin: from “AI glaze” addiction and identity crises to why creativity and fun are strategic advantages, culminating in the debut of a powerful Maxi Madness anthem collaboration with singer Noah Grumman. Beyond the headlines, we talk cultural drift, keeping conviction amid price fatigue, and why playfulness, music, and building matter as much as technical progress. If you’ve felt the scene get too serious, this conversation is a reminder to have fun, create, and participate—because eternal glory awaits in Maxi Madness and beyond.
Maxi Madness brackets and voting on X (Bitcoin Bugle) and Nostr (Primal), the bracket pick’em challenge, and prediction markets via PreX (Bitcoin-only).

Surviving the Kidnap Threat | The Confab 28: Kevin Loaec
In this Confab, Max sit down with Kevin Loaec, CEO of WizardSardine, for a frank discussion on the surge in coordinated, violent Bitcoin-related kidnappings in France and broader personal security lessons for anyone holding wealth. They explore practical, non-technical measures—community awareness, operational silence, modest living, and physical deterrents—alongside technical defences that reduce attacker incentives. Kevin explains why the threat was “late but inevitable,” how societal factors may be fuelling the crime wave, and why relocation and strong local networks can matter as much as any wallet setup.Max and Kevin discuss Liana, WizardSardine’s time-locked, Taproot-powered wallet. Kevin breaks down inheritance-first design, decaying/expanding policies, and how time locks can prevent premature access while enabling robust recovery for families and businesses—without revealing recovery paths on-chain. They cover miniscript device support (what works today and what’s missing), fee/UX trade-offs, future payjoin integrations, and how to pair Liana with spending wallets or Lightning for better privacy.

Save In Bitcoin, Spend in Monero | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Seth For Privacy
In this special series, Max shares why we’re hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the third re-release of the series, Seth For Privacy — educator, builder and VP at Cake Wallet joins TBD. Seth brings a candid, practical nuance to the state of Bitcoin and Monero, the realities of social media and education, and what “good enough privacy” means for everyday people versus targeted dissidents. Seth and TBD dig into saving in Bitcoin, spending in Monero, the impact of the Samourai Wallet case, why PayJoin V2 and silent payments matter, and how adoption—not tribalism—will determine the future of digital sovereignty. Seth shares a pragmatic optimism: we’re winning in usability and tooling, but only if we keep building, learning and refusing false binaries. We explore the current crossroads for Bitcoin privacy, the legal chill from Tornado Cash/Samourai prosecutions, Nostr versus X for reach, and Monero’s resilience amid delistings. Seth outlines practical advice for non-technical users, red lines for builders, and his long-view goal: tools that let individuals opt out of broken systems and into freedom—no permission required. Stay resilient, and enjoy the series as we continue with Pavel and Colonial in the weeks ahead.TWITTER: https://x.com/TheUNBOUNDEDPod

Defending Bitcoin Privacy | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Diverter
In this special series, Max shares why we’re hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the second re-release of the series, Diverter — a privacy activist and champion of financial sovereignty joins TBD. TBD and Diverter discuss Bitcoin’s evolution from a fragile experiment into a durable network, and the new danger it faces—not extinction, but domestication. Diverter explains why the real fight now is over whether individuals can still use Bitcoin as a tool for freedom, the chilling effect of recent prosecutions, and how development of privacy tools is being pushed underground. They trace Diverter’s journey from a 2016 trader to a Bitcoin privacy advocate, his early connection to Samourai Wallet, and the community ethos of clear red lines and radical personal responsibility. He reflects on the cost of building and defending privacy, why most people “fold” under state pressure, and the honour—and inevitability—of sacrifice in this arena. TBD and Diverter discuss the Samourai case, the legal whiplash around non-custodial tools, the ripple effects across the industry, and why open source resilience matters. Despite setbacks, Diverter remains convinced that “winning” means keeping the door open for anyone who chooses sovereignty—small daily acts of defiance, built by a decentralised, determined community. Stay resilient, and enjoy the series as we continue with Seth, Pavel, and Colonial in the weeks ahead.TWITTER: https://x.com/TheUNBOUNDEDPod

Closed AI Is the New Censorship | The Confab 27: Marks
In this Confab, Max sits down with Marks from Maple AI for a candid dive into privacy-first AI and how it intersects with the Bitcoin and Monero worlds many of us live in. They explore his journey from Apple’s AI/ML and product-launch trenches to Mutiny Wallet and now Maple, a secure, confidential-computing alternative to mainstream AI assistants. Marks shares how lawyers, accountants, therapists, and privacy-conscious users are adopting Maple to protect client data while still getting powerful AI assistance, and we unpack why closed AIs can shape narratives through hidden prompts, profiling, and subtle persuasion—especially in future crisis scenarios.Max and Marks also look ahead: open-source and local AI, encrypted enclaves, and the path to personal “Jarvis” agents with strong memory and on-device sovereignty. From live translation and wearables to body-language detection, they consider the benefits and risks—and how cryptographic identity, consent-based data sharing, and verifiable systems could keep humans in control. Marks points listeners to his essay “The Free Thought Manifesto” at https://aiwithconfidence.org

No Price, Just Privacy | MONERO MONTHLY 13: Riccardo Spagni
In our first live Monero Monthly, Max and Seth are joined by Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni for a candid tour through Monero’s origin story and culture. Riccardo dives into the chaotic Bytecoin days, how a secret fork birthed Monero after a contentious merge-mining push, and why missing comments, odd code obfuscations, and a deliberately crippled miner set off everyone’s spidey senses.Riccardo shares the serendipitous formation of the Monero Research Lab—hiring Sarang and Surae via a Reddit post—and a hilarious Utah road-trip mishap that bonded early contributors. They also explore how Monero’s antifragile culture emerged from a strict no-price-talk ethos, pseudonymous contribution, and a relentless focus on usable privacy that’s helped real people in difficult situations.They close with reflections on delistings, decentralised access, level-headed responses to network “attacks,” and how Tari aims to provide privacy-first smart contracts without compromising Monero’s design. Listener Q&A covers delistings pushing P2P adoption, cultural decisions that made Monero durable, handling selfish-mining FUD, practical privacy in tightening EU regs, and what Tari brings to the table.

From Jon's first local educational event with Fundamentals and Shadrach, to celebrating the high‑functioning doers in the Meshtadel, the focus is shifting toward action over theory—featuring people who actually build things, run businesses, and strengthen local resilience.

Ungovernable Podcasting | The Confab 26: Barry & ChadF
In this episode of The Confab, Max sits down with Barry (Podhome) and ChadF to chart where independent podcasting is headed and why Podcasting 2.0 still matters. They dig into keeping speech free via open RSS, the practical trade-offs of centralized platforms, and how value-for-value actually works in the wild—from Lightning boosts to Monero tips, funding tags and fiat donation pages. Barry shares Podhome’s ethos (don’t deplatform lawful speech), its all‑in features for creators, and what’s next on the product roadmap. ChadF traces the lineage from No Agenda to today’s Podcast Index, explains the messy reality of wallets, Keysend vs LNURL, and why onboarding listeners is the real nut to crack. Max, Barry and ChadF also cover chapters and artwork as creative glue, treating your show like a business without expecting it to pay the bills, and why word‑of‑mouth still grows the best shows. If you were ever wanting to start a podcast, then there's some really good advice to get going.ChadF closes with his recent “vibe coding” builds, including a self‑hosted music player for The Doerfels and his StableKraft app that curates value‑for‑value music into a proper listening experience—all pushing the open, independent future we want to see.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools

A Pioneer Miner Story (II)
In episode 2 of 2, Jon takes you behind the scenes of a year-long grind to resurrect a coal bed methane site and turn stranded gas into hash. From first setting eyes on a fenced-off relic of Western Pennsylvania’s industrial past to firing up the compressor and plumbing an entire valve bank and trunk line, he share the setbacks, small wins, and the sheer stubbornness it took to keep going. You’ll meet Mark Lidecker—the 50-year oil and gas veteran whose story and mentorship anchored this project—along with the friends and hard‑charging helpers who kept showing up at 3 a.m., threading pipe, moving 40‑foot towers, and dragging generators down goat tracks in Western PA. Jon and Max talk honest energy, regenerative agriculture dreams, and the raw logistics of building an off‑grid operation: scavenging and reviving generators, managing negative pressure and heat, designing for excess gas, and learning the craft one union and leak at a time. More than a technical tale, it’s a lesson in mentorship, faith, family support, and community— the Pleb Miner Mafia, the Meshtadel and countless hands—turning doubt into momentum.

We All Eat | The Confab 25: Chet
In this confab, Max catches up with Chet—long-time friend of the show, pleb miner mafia stalwart, and one of the most hands-on mining pioneers around. We reflect on the evolution from pleb to pioneer, the value of craft mastery, and the realities of living like a “mining monk” to keep uptime high. Chet opens up about humility in markets, his thesis on used miner pricing, why community matters more than adulation, and how building a circular economy means choosing who you spend your sats with. We dig into balance, burnout, OPSEC trade-offs, and finding purpose beyond number go up—whether that’s family, fitness, or a well-built deck at home.Max and Chet also dive into gas mining as the next scrappy frontier, mineral rights and licenses, and how Big Tech’s energy appetite will reshape competition. On the privacy front, they discuss Ashigaru’s rebirth of the Samurai-style toolset (including its new Whirlpool), practical wallet setups with Cake Wallet and node linking, and the importance of meetups like Lake Satoshi for real-world learning. It’s a candid, wide-ranging chat on building, belonging, and the grind required to make Bitcoin living, not just Bitcoin listening.VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com

They Fear Our Flight, Not Our Fall | PMM 16
In this candid, free‑wheeling conversation, Jon and Max explore what happens when people who simply want to be left alone are pushed too far—and how that pressure cooker connects to young men, internet culture, and real‑world resilience. They reflect on the importance of physical labour, sport, mentorship, and male rites of passage as antidotes to fragility and online cattiness. From dogs and pecking orders to construction sites, ranges, and rugby pitches, they draw lines between embodied challenges and the concept of bullying. Jon and Max close with a heartfelt tour through listener boosts, a poetic field report from a visit to Ben Gunn’s citadel, and a call to live not by lies (Charles Myriel), stand tall, and keep building—locally, practically, and with courage.ARTICLESLIve Not By Lies by Charles Myriel: https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/live-not-by-lies/

Prepping for Pole Shift | The Confab 24: Business Cat
Max sits down for a proper chat with Business Cat—cohost of Rock Paper Bitcoin and founder of the Central PA Bitcoin Meetup—to unpack his big thesis: cyclical pole shifts and what that could mean for human survival. We explore physical evidence claims (from Arctic fossil layers and flash-frozen mammoths to wave erosion on ancient structures), the mechanics of geomagnetic excursions and potential crustal movement, and why some modern elites might be digging underground or racing to space. Business Cat outlines a pragmatic, hopeful preparedness mindset: focus on high ground, redundancy (including floating platforms), skills, community, and sovereignty—while noting why Bitcoiners, with their self-reliance and antifragile tech instincts, are unusually well placed for turbulent decades ahead.We also touch homeschooling, meetups, and practical steps for resilience: food, water, tools, fitness, neighbourly collaboration, and measured use of sats to build capability. Whether or not you buy the full pole-shift model, it’s an engaging framework for long-term thinking, with pointers to dig deeper. A glass-half-full take on uncomfortable possibilities—and a call to prepare without becoming paralysed.BUSINESS CAT: https://x.com/_business_cat

Custody Crackdown Continues | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 65
In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. In this shorter Bitcoin Brief catch‑up, we dive straight into the latest on Passport Prime: Foundation has completed a third‑party security audit for KeyOS, is squashing final bugs, and is testing a bulletproof firmware‑update flow before giving the factory the green light. While early‑access units have slipped from initial estimates, the team stresses security parity with Passport Core, continued transparency, and a no‑questions‑asked refund policy for those who prefer not to wait. We then unpack last week’s NPM supply‑chain scare that briefly impacted Ethereum‑focused flows; despite the rapid containment (netting attackers mere cents), it’s a timely reminder to use hardware wallets for significant funds and to verify amounts, fees, change, and destination addresses on every send.On policy, we examine the resurfacing “mixer rule” push in the US that would effectively criminalise mainstream privacy behaviours on public blockchains—potentially sweeping up CoinJoin/PayJoin, address freshness, swaps, and simple transaction splitting—highlighting why principled privacy and robust, neutral protocols matter. We field a listener question on making Lightning more accessible, weighing today’s trade‑offs between self‑hosting and managed hubs (e.g., Alby), and the convenience of Phoenix/Zeus, with an eye toward emerging designs like Ark/Spark. Rounding out with releases: Cake Wallet’s Pay Anything (seamless cross‑asset paying), native Tor on iOS, and Cupcake for air‑gapped signing; Craig Raw’s Frigate Electrum server experiment for efficient Silent Payments scanning; and Braiins Deck, a tidy desk display for price, mempool, and mining stats. Boosts, meets, and a reminder: stay vigilant, stay private, and keep building.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.com

OP_WHINE | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 57
Max & Q discuss the ongoing legal battle involving the Samourai Wallet developers, who are facing charges from the US government. They explore the recent developments, including the revelation that the prosecutors withheld critical evidence that could potentially dismiss one of the charges. This evidence, from FinCEN, indicated that Samourai Wallet's noncustodial design did not qualify as a money service business, contradicting one of the charges. They also touch on the implications of the Blanche memo, which suggests a shift in how the DOJ approaches crypto-related cases.Our second major topic is the controversy surrounding the op_return limit in Bitcoin transactions. Max & Q explore the arguments for and against removing the 80-byte limit, with proponents arguing for network efficiency and harm reduction, while opponents fear blockchain bloat and a shift away from Bitcoin's financial focus. They discuss the implications of these changes on the network, including potential impacts on fee estimation and miner centralization. IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.com

You Can Have Any Block Version as Long as It’s 001 | Bite Size Bitcoin
Block Version Number in BitcoinThe block version number in Bitcoin serves as an indicator of which set of consensus rules a block follows. It's also used to signal miners' readiness or support for upcoming protocol upgrades. Over time, block version numbers have evolved from simple sequential numbers (like versions 1 through 4) to a more complex bit-field system, which allows for multiple upgrades to be signaled at once.From last time you badgered me I made some notes. Evolution of Block VersionsEarly Versions (1-4):These were straightforward indicators of protocol changes. For example:Version 1 was used from the Genesis block until March 2013.Version 2 came with BIP 34, authored by Gavin Andresen, it added the block height to the coinbase transaction and was activated at Block 227,931 on March 27, 2013.Version 3 enforced stricter signature validation with BIP 66, authored by Pieter Wuille, it ensured correct DER encoding of signatures. It activated at Block 363,725 on July 4, 2015.Version 4 enabled CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) with BIP 65, also authored by Pieter Wuille, it allowed for time-locked transactions and activated at Block 388,381 on December 11, 2015.Then come the Version Bits format:Bitcoin upgrades were becoming increasingly complex, the block version system transitioned to the Version Bits signaling mechanism, which allows multiple protocol changes to be signaled at once using specific bits in the block version field, allowing miners to signal support for up to 29 features simultaneously, each represented by a specific bit in the 32-bit version field.When Segregated Witness (SegWit) was introduced, Bitcoin transitioned from simple block versions to the complex numbers seen today.Special Note: before we review the important key version bits, I have to make something clear. These version numbers are more than just sequential; they signal specific changes using bitsI am going to call out version numbers like 536 870 912, which is is the decimal representation of the hexadecimal value 0x20000000The full number 536870912 in binary is 00100000000000000000000000000000.“536" doesn't have standalone significance. It’s just a part of the decimal value when the binary representation of 0x20000000 is converted into base 10 (which equals 536870912).The important part lies in the bitwise representation, where the leading bits "001" in the binary form, are reserved for signaling purposes, indicating that version bits are being used.But for the purpose of conveying version numbers to a human (this human being you Max) we will use the decimal representation instead of 0x2 nd a bunch of zeros or 001 and 29 more zeros.Now to the bit version section…Version 536 870 912 indicated readiness for SegWit, introduced through BIP 141 (authored by Pieter Wuille). SegWit was activated on August 24, 2017, at Block 481,824.Version 536 870 913 was used to signal support for BIP 91 and authored by James Hilliard. BIP 91 lowered the threshold required for SegWit’s activation. It was locked in at Block 477,120 on July 20, 2017.Version 536 870 914 and 536 870 916 continued signaling for SegWit deployment through various BIPs.How It Works TodayToday, miners use the Version Bits system to signal support for new upgrades, and they must keep their block version numbers in line with consensus rules. Version numbers like 536870912 (SegWit) are still recognized by the network, and each bit in the version number, a miner can signal support for different soft forks simultaneously.For instance, if the network is ready for a future upgrade, miners will flip the corresponding bit in their block version number, signaling their support for the upgrade. The rest of the version field remains intact, allowing multiple soft forks to be signaled at the same time.First 3 bits = 001: Reserved and indicate version bits are being used.Remaining 29 bits: Available for signaling specific soft forks or protocol changes. Each of these bits corresponds to a different potential feature being activated.Car Analogy for Bitcoin Block Version NumbersLet’s compare Bitcoin’s block version numbers to Fords and how their cars evolved from simple model numbers to VIN numbers that represent various features and changes in their design over the years.The Model T and Block Version 1:Just like Ford's Model T, the first Bitcoin blocks (version 1) were basic, so basic, buyers didn’t even have a choice in what color vehicle they could buy “you can have a car in any color so long as its black. Similar to early block versions that had no special features—the first blocks had no complex rules or signals, just the essentials.Evolving Model Years and Version Numbers:As Ford expanded its lineup, more models came out, and so did the need for differentiating cars beyond going from model T to Model A. Apply that to Bitcoin, version 1 to 4 were indicators of upgrades like block height (BIP-34), stricter validation (BIP-66), and time-locked transactions (BIP-65) can be compared to model T to model AComplex Version Bits = New Ford VIN Structure:Eventually, car manufacturers standardized more details in its VIN numbers to reflect all the specifics of each model the world manufacturers identifier, vehicle description section, and the vehicle identifier section—just like Bitcoin's version bits system, which allows for more granular signaling.The VIN was introduced in 1965 to track each vehicle's specifications. The first two characters of the VIN, such as “1F,” identify Ford and where the vehicle was built. 1F is a Ford built in the USA.For example, characters 4-8 in a Ford VIN indicate engine type, body style, and model, much like Bitcoin’s complex version numbers (536 870 912 or 0x20000000) that signal specific features like SegWit (BIP-141) or BIP-91 activation.Or version 536 870 916 (0x20000004) signals both SegWit and BIP-91—much like how characters in the Ford VIN specify the engine, body, and trim level of a car.VINs were more standardized in the 80’s. Ford’s VIN numbers now include production year, plant location, and a unique serial number to distinguish every car (that’s characters 10-17). Likewise, Bitcoin’s version bits (introduced with version 536870912) can signal multiple protocol changes at once. Just as the tenth digit in a VIN tells you the model year (e.g., “J” for 1988), a Bitcoin version number can tell you which upgrades are active. Bits 1-3: Reserved for version signaling format (for example, the top three bits set to 001 for soft fork signaling).Bits 4-32 can each represent a specific feature or soft fork proposal, meaning multiple upgrades can be signaled simultaneously within the same block version field.ConclusionIn both cases, as the products (Fords and Bitcoin blocks) became more complex, the identifiers also became more detailed. From simple model numbers like T and A (Max likes T & A) to VIN numbers, Bitcoin’s version bits both allow for greater customization and finer control.Like how car manufacturers track and signal changes to its cars over time with VINs, Bitcoin uses block version numbers to ensure the network continues to evolve. Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, and a Ford is still a Ford regardless of the fact Henry Ford is dead, and Satoshi is not Craig Wright, or Adam Back, or Peter Todd. IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.com
