In this episode, we dive into an exciting announcement with Zach and Q from Foundation. After two years of hard work, they unveil the team's latest creation, the Passport Prime, a revolutionary personal security platform. Unlike traditional hardware wallets, Passport Prime combines the features of a hardware wallet with those of a YubiKey, offering multi-factor authentication, encrypted storage, and an extendable app platform for third-party developers. This open app platform aims to empower developers to build security applications, contrasting with Ledger's closed ecosystem.Zach and Q discuss the meticulous design process behind Passport Prime, highlighting its unique industrial design, including a curved screen and CNC'd aluminum chassis. They emphasize the device's durability, featuring Gorilla Glass and a high-quality IPS touchscreen display.The conversation shifts to the device's capabilities, which extend beyond a typical hardware wallet. Passport Prime supports various applications, including a 2FA codes app, a security key application, a file browser with a unique AirLock feature, and a seed vault app. These features make it a Swiss army knife for personal security, allowing users to securely store and manage their digital assets.KeyOS, the operating system powering Passport Prime, is introduced as a microkernel-based OS written in Rust, offering modularity, resilience, and enhanced security. The open-source nature of KeyOS allows third-party developers to create apps for the platform, with Cake Wallet being the first to integrate.The episode also covers the innovative Quantum Link Bluetooth, which ensures secure communication between Passport Prime and smartphones. This feature, along with the device's modular design, addresses potential security concerns while enhancing user experience.Finally, the hosts discuss the backup solutions for Passport Prime, utilizing NFC key cards and optional cloud backups to provide a seamless recovery process. The episode concludes with details on the device's availability and pricing, highlighting the team's dedication to creating a high-quality, user-friendly product.IMPORTANT LINKShttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernablehttps://foundation.xyz/beyondungovernablecrew@proton.me

"Do not excessively covet swords and daggers made by famous masters. Even if you can own a sword or dagger worth 10,000 pieces (hiki, equivalent of 10 mon), it can be overcome by 100 spears each worth 100 pieces. Therefore, use the 10,000 pieces to procure 100 spears, and arm 100 men with them. You can in this manner defend yourself in time of war."- The Seventeen-Article Injunction of Asakura ToshikageIn this special episode, I had the privilege of speaking with a developer from the Ashigaru open source project, who joined us under the pseudonym Ashigaru Dev to discuss their work on Ashigaru. To protect their identity, they used a voice changer, highlighting the risks faced by privacy advocates in today's digital landscape.We discussed the motivations behind the creation of the Ashigaru, a project born from the need to continue the legacy of the Samourai Wallet after its development ceased. The Ashigaru team, composed of long-time users and developers familiar with the programming languages, initially made improvements for personal use before realising the broader community could benefit from their work.The conversation covered the enhancements made to the software, including updates to the post-mix spend features and the expanded Paynym ecosystem. We discussed the challenges of maintaining privacy in Bitcoin transactions without tools like Whirlpool and explored alternative methods such as peer-to-peer coin joins and atomic swaps.We also touched on the importance of building trust within the community, especially for non-technical users who rely on others to verify the safety and integrity of open-source projects. The Ashigaru team is committed to transparency and encourages user feedback to improve the application.In the wake of the Samourai project being dismantled by government decree, remember this: do not be overly attached to the singular, high-profile software solutions that once defined the success. Its value can be matched by tens of hundreds of developers, each armed with simple, robust, and widely accessible tools. Let's use the spirit, the knowledge, and the resources we have to forge a new initiative, one that embodies the strength of many rather than the complexity of one. In this way, we can continue to innovate, resist, and thrive, proving that multi-pronged resilience is greater than any single point of failure.

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions.  So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, permaculture expert, pleb miner and Meshtadellian Rev Hodl rejoins the show to talk about nostr, cultural capital and the happenings on the Michigan homestead.SHOW DISCUSSIONRev Hodl discusses his efforts to build a self-sustaining, circular economy centered around his Bitcoin-focused homestead. He explains how he integrates various systems like rabbit farming, cannabis cultivation, and Bitcoin mining to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. A key focus is developing a local Bitcoin community in Michigan, where Rev Hodl shares his knowledge and excess production with other Bitcoiners. This allows him to distribute his natural capital, like food and seeds, while also learning from others and strengthening the cultural capital of the group. Rev Hodl emphasizes the importance of avoiding centralized, KYC-based interactions in favor of building a decentralized, peer-to-peer economy within the Bitcoin community. He sees this as crucial for developing true resilience and self-reliance, rather than relying on traditional financial systems.Throughout, Rev Hodl highlights the permaculture principles guiding his approach - minimizing waste, maximizing productivity, and cultivating mutually beneficial relationships. He sees this as a model for how Bitcoin communities can thrive by focusing on the holistic development of various forms of capital, not just financial.8 Forms of Captial: https://www.7thgenerationdesign.com/creating-resilient-wealth/Michigan Bitcoiners: https://michiganbitcoiner.com/Nostr: https://njump.me/npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z

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 0x20000000

Max, notorious for his late-night, self-absorbed, inconsiderate, and mostly aloof phone calls, once rang Jon at an ungodly hour to dig into the details of Bitcoin block components. As Jon was chasing a raccoon out of his chicken coop, Max's questions came pouring in, demanding clarity on block templates, candidate blocks, and the components of a completed block. Despite pausing to bust a cap in a raccoon’s ass, Jon explained that miners use a block template as a guide to construct a candidate block, ensuring each field adheres to network protocols. The components are version number, previous block’s hash, Merkle root, timestamp, difficulty target, and nonce. Even while covered in chicken blood, feathers, and brains, Jon’s dedication to unraveling the complexities of Bitcoin mining for Max was unwavering.Let's break down the block components that Max was so eager to understand.Block Version Number: This indicates the version of the block and can be used to implement changes to its structure and format. It can also signal a miner’s choice on software and protocol upgrades or changes. The interplay between signaling, activation, and their relationship to soft forks is an intriguing topic, though it is beyond the scope of this discussion. It’s more than likely Max will call again to discuss this in greater detail.Previous Block Hash: This serves as a reference to the previous block in the blockchain and is used to link blocks together, ensuring that the miner is working on the longest valid chain.Merkle Root: This is a hash of all the transactions included in the block, ensuring their integrity and validity. The Merkle root is a key component of the Bitcoin block header, summarizing the contents of all transactions into a single, 32-byte value. Transactions are grouped into pairs and hashed together, forming new sets of hashes until a single hash, the Merkle root, is generated. This root is included in the block header and broadcast to the network whenever a new block is mined. When a node receives a block, it uses the Merkle root to verify the integrity of the transactions without validating each one individually. Timestamp
