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
