    Ungovernable Podcasting | The Confab 26: Barry & ChadF

    Dec 22, 2025 at 12:30 AM CST · 01:13:09

    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 ro…

    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.

    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, …

Create a Nostr identity in this browser

Nostr is an open protocol for simple social posts and messaging. Your identity is a cryptographic key pair: a public key (npub) others see, and a secret key (nsec) that proves it is you.

This site never sees your secret key when you use an extension or mobile signer. With this option we generate a key pair locally and keep the secret only in your browser so you can boost and publish without installing anything.

  • Next you will receive an nsec. Save it somewhere safe (password manager or offline). Treat it like a password.
  • Anyone with your nsec can post as you. Never share it or paste it into untrusted sites.
  • You can import the same nsec into Damus, Amethyst, Iris, or any other Nostr app—your identity moves with you.

Further reading: nostr.how · NIP-01 (profiles & events)

Save your secret key (nsec)

Copy this nsec and store it somewhere only you control. If you lose it and clear your browser data, this identity is gone forever.

Never share your nsec. Anyone who has it can publish as you on every Nostr app.

You can paste this same key into other Nostr clients if you want to use your Bowl After Bowl identity elsewhere.
