Homesteading, Permaculture, Bitcoin, Freedom. All one or all none!

Installed some new nesting buckets for the rabbits today. Lost too many kits to collapsing burrows, flooding, and dirty nests. These won't collapse or flood and can be easily clean. Hopefully the rabbits use 'em.

GM! Food forest is looking beautiful with some fresh snow. Permanent culture requires permanent money. #permaculture #foodforest #bitcoin #homesteading

Been plinking away on a 20ft tiny house, today the bathroom and the stairs before that. Got the sink in, trim finished in the shower and doorway, rail for the sliding door. The wall paper is pages cut out of a draft horse book pasted on with several coats of polyurethane, the shower is solid surface from the trash, the trim is reclaimed pine from a friends house stained with iron acetate. Stairs/closet/storage shelves are reclaimed ash(?) Finished with tung oil. Still need to install the hand railing. Fingers crossed I can finish this project up before June.

Yes, I received sats but it doesn't look like it registered on the note as a zap

Our chickens have become ungovernable... Gotta get this under control before the spring really starts setting in.

GM! In the elderberry patch taking some cuttings. Elderberry is one of the easiest plants to take hard/soft wood cuttings and get successful rooting. Take a cutting, stick it in some soil, keep it watered appropriately and you'll likely have a new elderberry plant. Find a wild one in a ditch and give it a try!

#[1] do you use blastr? I don't know how to use this... But it sounds like it would ensure visibility of notes.

The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto

Timothy C. May

A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy.

Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re-routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation.

The technology for this revolution--and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution--has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification. The focus has until now been on academic conferences in Europe and the U.S., conferences monitored closely by the National Security Agency. But only recently have computer networks and personal computers attained sufficient speed to make the ideas practically realizable. And the next ten years will bring enough additional speed to make the ideas economically feasible and essentially unstoppable. High-speed networks, ISDN, tamper-proof boxes, smart cards, satellites, Ku-band transmitters, multi-MIPS personal computers, and encryption chips now under development will be some of the enabling technologies.

The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be trade freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion. Various criminal and foreign elements will be active users of CryptoNet. But this will not halt the spread of crypto anarchy.

Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions. Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put into words and pictures. And just as a seemingly minor invention like barbed wire made possible the fencing-off of vast ranches and farms, thus altering forever the concepts of land and property rights in the frontier West, so too will the seemingly minor discovery out of an arcane branch of mathematics come to be the wire clippers which dismantle the barbed wire around intellectual property.

Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!

How will we build and prove our reputations? Will our identities and reputations be built on Bitcoin?

Take a walk with me around the homestead as I show how we mine Bitcoin with the extra solar power from our off grid yurt. This is a story of value for value, how I got started mining and the power of the Bitcoin network.

We can heat our well insulated 900sqft of living space to 65-70°f using around 2 cords of wood each year with our Rocket Mass Heater. We typically wake up to 65°f and burn a fire in the morning and another fire in the evening. A "J" tube burn chamber covered by a 55gal barrel creates radiant heat as well as a thermal pump which forces exhaust gasses horizontally though ducting in a large box filled with pea gravel. The gravel extracts most of the heat from the exhaust radiating it out slowly after the fire burns out. By the time the exhaust reaches the chimney it's 120-200°f down from 300-500°f at the barrel. The combustion is nearly total so very little smoke is exhausted and maximum BTUs are used to heat the space. Built with materials found at most big box hardware stores Rocket Mass Heaters are cheap to build, easy to source, and incredibly efficient. It is the favorite contraption I've built on the homestead.

What zone are you #[5] ? I'm zone t

5b/6. I'm going be starting cannabis inside soon and grafting apples. Won't be putting anything in the ground till may.

If the daffodils were out already hear I would be in big trouble. So much winter stuff left to do. You got veggies started already?

My tractor seems to break every time I have a big project in mind. It's probably more my fault, I don't have enough experience to anticipate potential problems. What was the issue with yours? How long was it out of order?
