Iโm waiting for the dvd!
Bitpunk.fm, 2.12, Vespa Verses is done!
12 tapes, 12 months! Thanks everyone who listens digitally or requests the tapes. Hereโs to 2026 and more cassettes!
I made a new noises with a spring, a couple of filters and some echoes, downbeat, dubby, electro stuff.

If you like the noise, you can save it in a podcast app on the internet or nab the RSS feed ( although not Spotify or Apple lol) and even use boostagrams etc. if that's your thing.
Should display if you search 'inpc - splonk'. I don't intent to put this one out more formally but there's an EP with other tracks coming very soon.
Hopefully the noises find an appreciative ear somewhere on this free and open internet.... The link takes you to the track's homepage. If you like it, you can zap it, it's up to you. There's also a video on my PeerTube, I still need to find an elegant solution for self hosting on Nostr. (And an info welcome in that regard!)

This is great!
Yes, Iโve noticed this as well.
Sadly I do find bitcoin culture (in general) to be not positive. Iโve been moving away from it to a community of artists, who are much more open minded than most bitcoiners I find.
And I agree itโs the small majority, but they are setting the tone. Is it possible to ignore this? Of course. But the crypto-anarchy roots have been co-opted into something else.
This also happened with the OG hackers. In the 90s we talked about fuck the man and all this and now these same people (I know) are working for defense contractors.
At this point, I think itโs much more a radical idea to go without money, like Mark Boyle, then to be an advocate of bitcoin.
I wish I had a more optimistic view. There are pockets of interesting developments and people still. But Iโd rather go to a poetry meetup than a bitcoin one at this time.
I learned how to do Live Loops with a trumpet (at the 1:30 mark or so).

Wasted Blood, my first printed collection of poems is on its way to the printer.
There will be a DeMu audio book after the 100 limited edition books are released.
For this audience, you can replace โcashโ with โcashuโ (mail me printed out cashu token) and the same procedure applies.
Many thanks to nostr:npub1j0ht2m9jgs6mccyvkffd2dlnfusmqfx9mjlwg6fsmfwxm9rfuwdq40w6rf for bringing such a powerful design to the words!

Possibly the best website ever.
Iโm sure this wonโt happen with hardware wallets and their secure elements.

Thank you ChadF. Appreciate you listening and waiting :)
The conference? I don't know. They have a coffee shop in the lobby that runs on all btc payserver. So you go and grab stuff and pay yourself.
If you look at the speaker list there's quite a diverse in terms of payment method people. Lots of xmr types, Bitcoin of course, and even people doing eth.
There are so many poems about beauty of women, but what about the beauty of men?
I once read a poem about men's balls and it inspired this poem from another poet.

Most of these are solved with wired headphones and a walkman.
I'll be at dark prague in a month talking about this and more with of course, a special dark prague editing of the tape.
Nostalgic for this song when it ends on the tape!

I will get a package out to you soon!
We have this problem in ham radio too. Sometimes people have their audio gain set so low. It's so easy! Just go into the menu, find the AF gain setting, and adjust it.
One day, nostr will be as popular as ham radio and I'm here for it!
Derek Ross has his head in his apps,
trying to give everyone zaps.
Here's 21 sats!
Jack still gets fats,
we might as well just give snaps. ๐ซฐ
Btcpay server bah, I need to restart it probably. I switched it back to fountain
I once wanted to make songs longer,
listening to the radio does not make you stronger.
But here we can mute
a buddy or brute,
especially a v4vmonger.
Inspired by that burroughs-cobain track I did a bit of music-poetry myself today.
I read these two books back-to-back. The Dream Hotel is extremely good.
The Every has some clever ideas but it's a bit campy.
I'll be doing an audio review of them for the upcoming bitpunk.fm
Looking forward to it, thank you! If you put your return address in it I will send you something back!
I received this postagram to my PO Box recently.
What's a postagram? It's return of value to me in the form of a postcard.
Not all value is denominated in sats.
Since it's analog August, send a post card to someone! It's fun! Don't know anybody's address? No problem, send one to me.
The address is on my website: bitpunk.fm
