They trace his journey from a 2012 PC experiment and S9 heat-capture hacks, through the China exodus era, to building community with Ungovernable Misfits, Pleb Miner Month/Monthly, and the Meshtadel. Along the way Jon and Max revisit the friendships, prayer calls, old-head mentors, and on-the-ground graft that shaped his thinking—plus the hard stats that kill LARP-y mining dreams. <br /><br />We close on the big pivot: site scouting in Western Pennsylvania, dead ends with utilities, natural-gas learning curves, a providential phone call, and the discovery of a coal-bed methane opportunity sitting almost in his backyard—full circle from pleb to pioneer.<br /><br />It’s an unfiltered story about doing rather than tweeting: heat capture ingenuity, failed deals, community-led breakthroughs, and the relentless grind behind assembling land, power, and gas to make real-world mining work. If you’ve ever wondered how pleb-scale curiosity becomes pioneer competence, this is the blueprint—complete with detours, dents, and a few flaming arrows for good measure.<br /><br /><p><strong>VALUE FOR VALUE</strong><br /><br />Thanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.<br /><br />You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.<br /><br /><strong>TIME</strong>:<br /><br />- create fountain clips for the show<br />- create a meetup<br />- help boost the signal on social media<br /><br /><strong>TALENT</strong>:<br /><br />- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music<br />- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better<br />- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!<br /><br /><strong>TREASURE</strong>:<br /><br />- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ <a href="https://podcastapps.com" target="_blank">https://podcastapps.com</a><br />- DONATE via Monero @ <a href="https://xmrchat.com/ugmf" target="_blank">https://xmrchat.com/ugmf</a><br />- BUY SOME STICKERS @ <a href="https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/" target="_blank">https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/</a></p><br /><strong>THANK YOU LINCOIN AND LōD</strong><br /><ul><li>Gain real-time control, lower energy costs, and unlock new revenue with <a href="https://lod.io/" target="_blank">LōD.io</a>, a grid-aware system built for energy-intensive Bitcoin Mining Data Centers.</li><li><a href="https://lincoin.com/" target="_blank">Lincoin Mining</a> offers the best FPPS mining pool out there.
