Ungovernable Misfits

"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.LINKS:ASHIGARU - https://ashigaru.rsDONATE TO ASHIGARU - https://ashigaru.rs/donate/DOJO OPENSOURCE PROJECT - https://github.com/Dojo-Open-Source-ProjectSENTINEL - https://github.com/wanderingking072/sentinel-androidASHIGARU GITEA (TOR) - http://ashicodepbnpvslzsl2bz7l2pwrjvajgumgac423pp3y2deprbnzz7id.onionDONATE TO SAMOURAI - https://www.p2prights.org/donate.htmlFREESAMOURAI - https://freesamourai.comBTC SESSIONS DOJO VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aykJ4eP-VeoK3TAN DOJO VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_It4xEIwRAVALUE 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- DONATE via Paynym @ https://paynym.rs/+misfit- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME CLOTHING @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/store/- BUY SOME ART!! @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/art-gallery/CAKE WALLEThttps://cakewallet.comCake Wallet is an open-source, non-custodial wallet available on Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux.Features:- Built-in Exchange: Swap easily between Bitcoin and Monero.- User-Friendly: Simple interface for all users.Monero Users:- Batch Transactions: Send multiple payments at once.- Faster Syncing: Optimized syncing via specified restore heights- Proxy Support: Enhance privacy with proxy node options.Bitcoin Users:- Coin Control: Manage your transactions effectively.- Silent Payments: Static bitcoin addresses- Batch Transactions: Streamline your payment process.Thank you Cake Wallet for sponsoring the show!FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.

The Bitcoin Brief is a show hosted by Max and Bitcoin QnA. We cover important updates in the world of bitcoin and open source software. It is our imperative to provide some education along the way too, so that the misfits can expand their knowledge base and become more sovereign as a result. We do this every second week to keep our 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.SHOW DETAILSAOBMore Foundation teasersNEWSAppeals court overturns Tornado Cash sanctionsSamourai + Tornado Cash prosecutor to step downBTClock repository back onlineMining for SamouraiUPDATES/RELEASESEnvoy v1.8.5UmbelOS v1.3Phoenix Android v2.4.3 (and 2.4.4)Phoniex iOS v2.4.3Bitcoin Keeper v1.2.20ESP Miner v2.4Robosats v0.7.3-alphaBisq v1.9.18BlueWalelt v7.0.5Zeus v0.9.3 beta2Fountain v1.1.8BitAxe mining dashboardRewind BitcoinPhoenix server lightning walletLopp released a new guide for node operatorsLifPay announces new reusable payment QR with fixed amountsFlotillaBTC Sessions BTCPay videoAmethyst v0.9.3Notedeck alphaIMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comSPONSORSFOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.
