I hear ya. I came across TWIB from one of his other shows and am telling all the Bitcoiners around me they gotta listen. The level of research Chris puts in and the fact he lives and breathes Open Source puts this show in a different league.

Double boost for this and the episode with Oscar. Conversations with people like Oscar who are creating real use cases for Bitcoin are great. Is there a way to connect my LND node to Fountain? Can I do this with Alby hub? I’d love to connect directly and not have to manually top up my Fountain wallet if I could. Keep the signal coming, thanks. https://fountain.fm/episode/H5lo1HQmAk34SY3FDwe7

have a great time at Linux Fest. Do you have any suggestions or old episodes to help new Linux users decide on distros as a daily driver? I’m not a total Linux newbie, have been running a couple of Ubuntu servers and Linux Mint on a laptop for over a year now, but want to set up a Linux desktop as a daily driver now. I’m looking at Pop OS for now, any suggestions appreciated. Thanks from New Zealand! https://fountain.fm/episode/wCvY0IGv5uIsk3jcz9xA

Re your question on which platform to do a Knots tutorial on, I would say it has to be Linux of some flavor. You’re the Linux guy so asking you to do it on another platform would be blasphemy! I was a Bitcoiner before getting into Linux and other open protocols. I really think Bitcoiners should embrace the full open source stack, it’s part of the trade off for having open source, immutable money. https://fountain.fm/episode/vNS3UnEX1NMhmngvCl9m

I know mate, it was just a late night thought.

This is a vote for some bonus content about running Knots. With the node count nearly at 20% and the Core team starting to play dirty, it’s time to really understand more about running Knots. A walk through guide and assessment from you on this would be super helpful. Thanks https://fountain.fm/episode/eHbgQjpxG79wFOl8PSH5

Captain Cook's story is a cool one. His journey through the South Pacific and picking up Tupaia in Tahiti then coming to New Zealand was epic. He reinvented seafaring through his knowledge of health and looking after his crew, he had less deaths at sea by magnitudes compared to other navigators of his time. But...I think someone had "discovered" New Zealand before him, there were people here when he arrived.

You must be back from your road trip! That means another TWIB coming soon I guess! Hope you and the wife enjoyed some time away
