| 6/20/26 | ![]() #11 Wren in Trouble | In this episode, I catch up with Oshi as we reflect on making it to episode 11, read through a great batch of listener boosts, and dig into the latest show stats. We also swap a couple of stories from the week, including Oshi rescuing a baby bird after a storm and my ongoing adventures with cross-border shipping, delayed packages, and the realities of running a Bitcoin-only food business. From there, we shout out the growing Bitcoin meetup culture around Comox Valley and talk about why small, values-aligned communities matter so much when you're building on the edges.We also spend time in permaculture corner, exploring the ideas that “the problem is the solution” and “catch and store energy.” I share how wildlife pressure in the orchard turned into an opportunity to rework part of the food forest, and we get into soil carbon, water retention, mulch, biochar, and the importance of fungal networks beneath the surface. We close with a broader conversation about building on Nostr, staying consistent through slow sales cycles, and why doing business directly for sats still feels like one of the most meaningful paths forward.'Take My Sats': https://www.takemysats.com/'OshiGood': https://oshigood.us/'Podhome': https://www.podhome.fm/'Helipad (Umbrel App Store listing)': https://apps.umbrel.com/app/helipad'Fountain': https://www.fountain.fm/'Podcasting 2.0 Apps / Podcast Index': https://podcastindex.org/apps?appTypes=app&elements=Chapters%2CValue'Nostr Protocol (GitHub repo)': https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr'NIP-99 overview': https://nostrhub.io/99'Damus': https://damus.io/'Primal': https://primal.net/'noStrudel': https://nostrudel.ninja/'Conduit Market': https://conduit.market/'Plebeian Market': https://plebeian.market/'Shopstr': https://shopstr.market/'Bitcoin Comox Valley Meetup': https://www.meetup.com/bitcoincomoxvalley/'Bitcoin Comox Valley': https://bitcoincomoxvalley.ca/faq/'Local Bitcoiners': https://localbitcoiners.com/'Bitcoin': https://bitcoin.org/?hl=en'Lightning Network': https://lightning.network/'ChatGPT': https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12677804'Docker': https://hub.docker.com/_/docker/ Join us on Nostr: Oshi (npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh) & Permanerd (npub1zqdpzty2mshxncqqxy2078qax6mlehsxmpx5095wtxw4tpepkr0s2ce6fj)Send an email: sayhi@youarethealgo.com | — | ||||||
| 6/13/26 | ![]() #10 Canada Is Why | In this week’s YATA ( we read your boostagrams, emails, and notes, then put them straight to work. From defining heat‑punk(ery) with real-world examples to first-sats stories at a beachside Bitcoin meetup, I share how bringing freeze‑dried goods to a Lightning‑onboarding night turned into multiple first Bitcoin purchases—and why any maker should try selling for BTC. We also dig into small‑business realities: shipping costs, BTCPay pricing in USD while settling in sats, and the accounting headaches that vary by jurisdiction. Oshi riffs while we kick off a new mini‑series on the 12 Permaculture Principles—starting with Observe and Interact—and connect it to low‑time‑preference design in life and Bitcoin. We hit wallets for beginners (WoS, Phoenix), Nostr relay/DM reliability, value‑for‑value and Podcasting 2.0 boosts, sunscreen versus solar callus (plus why sunglasses can confuse your clock), and a quick Town Square shoutout to makers building for the circular economy.'BTCPay Server': https://btcpayserver.org'Wallet of Satoshi (Lightning wallet)': https://www.walletofsatoshi.com'Phoenix Wallet by ACINQ': https://phoenix.acinq.co'Podcasting 2.0 (Podcast Index)': https://podcastindex.org'Fountain (value-for-value podcast app)': https://fountain.fm'TakeMySats (BTC marketplace)': https://takemysats.com'OCEAN Mining Pool': https://ocean.xyz'Stacker News': https://stacker.news'Nostr protocol (spec on GitHub)': https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr'Amethyst (Nostr Android client)': https://amethyst.social'Primal (Nostr client)': https://primal.net'Domus (Nostr iOS client)': https://domus.me'Permaculture: 12 Principles': https://permacultureprinciples.com/principles/'The Art of Seeing — Aldous Huxley (overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Seeing'"Two of Us" — The Beatles (song overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_of_Us_(song)'The Castle (1997 film) — overview': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_(1997_Australian_film)'Brazil (1985 film) — overview': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film)'Oshi Goods (host site + episode archive)': https://oshigood.us'Sats4Snacks (freeze‑dried goods & salves)': https://sats4snacks.com'Heat Punkery': https://stacker.news/items/1500336/r/Undisciplined Join us on Nostr: Oshi (npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh) & Permanerd (npub1zqdpzty2mshxncqqxy2078qax6mlehsxmpx5095wtxw4tpepkr0s2ce6fj)Send an email: sayhi@youarethealgo.com | — | ||||||

| 6/6/26 | ![]() #9 Planting an Orchestra | Permanerd and Oshi kick off a Friday check‑in with a stack of boostograms, listener stats, and some laughs before diving into the latest Nostr experiments. We talk about Eric FJ’s Conduit “zap‑out” demo for buying from merchants over Nostr and Bitcoin, why NIP‑99 marketplaces are exciting, and the trade‑offs of convenience vs. decentralization in clients like Damus, Primal, Amethyst, and Nostur. We also shout out the builders and merchants making it all possible and invite your feedback, boosts, and questions for future segments. Then we switch gears into a beginner‑friendly permaculture segment. Using a fruit‑tree guild as the example, we cover the eight layers (from canopy to fungal), why nitrogen fixers and dynamic accumulators like comfrey matter, how alliums (garlic, walking onions) help confuse pests, and the crucial role of mycelium. We wrap with homestead updates, freeze‑dried snack experiments, meetup vibes, and an open invite to collaborate—because you are the algorithm.'Nostr Protocol (overview)': https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr'NIP‑99: Classified Listings / Marketplaces': https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/99.md'Damus (Nostr client)': https://damus.io'Primal (Nostr client)': https://primal.net'Amethyst (Android Nostr client)': https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst'Nostur (iOS Nostr client)': https://nostur.com'Conduit Market (Nostr marketplace explorer)': https://conduit.market'Take My Sats (merchant marketplace)': https://takemysats.com'Fountain (podcast app with boosts)': https://fountain.fm'Gaia’s Garden by Toby Hemenway': https://www.chelseagreen.com/product/gaias-garden/'Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual by Bill Mollison': https://www.tagari.com/product/permaculture-designers-manual/'The Survival Podcast (Jack Spirko)': https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com'Oshi Good (butters and bars)': https://oshigood.us'Sats4Snacks (freeze‑dried snacks)': https://sats4snacks.com Join us on Nostr: Oshi (npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh) & Permanerd (npub1zqdpzty2mshxncqqxy2078qax6mlehsxmpx5095wtxw4tpepkr0s2ce6fj)Send an email: sayhi@youarethealgo.com | — | ||||||

| 5/30/26 | ![]() #8 Too Old to Toggle? | In this episode of YATA, Oshi and I kick off with real‑life coaching lessons from a sideline dust‑up at a 9U baseball game—using it to talk mindset, impulse control, and teaching kids to hustle. From there we read your value‑for‑value boosts, shout out first‑time and returning supporters, and dig into a great listener question: what’s our elevator pitch for getting small businesses to accept Bitcoin? We trade experiences trying to convince a local coffee shop (Square POS, we’re looking at you), land on the simplest hook—cut card fees and meet customers where they are—and swap practical ideas like leave‑behind brochures and short, owner‑friendly videos. We also hit Nostr tooling and security trade‑offs: Wisp’s recent UX choices, using remote signers like Amber and nsecBunker, browser signers like nos2x and Alby, plus why many of us prefer not to paste nsecs into every app. Then we zoom out to Bitcoin governance—op_return, “who controls Bitcoin,” and the tension between monetary use and storing arbitrary data—pointing listeners to a timely Mechanic interview. Along the way: meetups, Local Bitcoiners, streaming sats on Fountain, Obscura/Proton VPNs, and even a quick Beatles riff (I Feel Fine). As always, send your questions, pitches, and meetup tips—this show runs on your boosts and notes.'What Bitcoin Did' – The OP_RETURN War: Who Controls Bitcoin?

| 5/23/26 | ![]() #7 Normie Optimization | In Episode 7 of the YATA (“You Are The Algorithm”) podcast, Oshi and I celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day, dig into value-for-value boosts, and invite “normie” questions so we can explain Bitcoin, Nostr, and Lightning in plain language. We talk meetups, circular economies, and why micro-payments change how creators and communities connect. I tee up future segments on permaculture, and we swap stories on running personal Nostr relays, on-chain vs. Lightning payments, and how tools like Start9, Umbrel, and Snort can make self-sovereign publishing approachable. We also wander through real life: childhood pre-screens, getting outdoors, travel tales (Myanmar to Hungary), first jobs, and creative side hustles—from Oshi’s HODL butter and T‑shirt preorders to my freeze‑dried fruit.

| 5/16/26 | ![]() #6 Proof of Humanness | We open the mailbag and read your boostagrams. I share some Podhome stats (3,081 all‑time downloads; 2,042 “unique” listeners) and we talk through what those numbers really mean. Then we swap shipping war stories: UPS vs. PO Boxes, SurePost handoffs to USPS, claims purgatory, and why for PO Boxes you should usually default to USPS. We also kick around Canadian cross‑border shipping, cacao logistics with Bitcoin Beans, and why a dollar or two of insurance can save your bacon.From there, we get opinionated about personalized packaging—handwritten thank‑you notes, proof‑of‑humanness, and keeping the small‑town Nostr vibe. Market Square shout‑out goes to Satoshi Coffee (I use it in my coffee‑crunch hodl butter). We wrap with baseball kid‑league updates, old‑school gaming.

| 5/9/26 | ![]() #5 Be the Hemoglobin | We’re back for “episode 5b” after last week’s kerfluffle, and we kick off with your Value‑for‑Value boosts, shout‑outs, and a quick download on show stats and hosting. From there we dive into practical Bitcoin life: the Lightning wallets we actually use (and why), node setups, when to use swaps and CoinJoin, and simple ways to bridge Lightning and on‑chain without losing your mind. We also share day‑to‑day routines that keep us steady—yoga, cold showers, meditation, sunlight, grounding, blue‑light hygiene—and swap notes on Jack Kruse, John Ott, and eating with the seasons. Rounding it out: orange‑pilling local merchants, a fun “Market Square” idea to spotlight builders, cacao and coffee talk, and even a little Pokémon and vintage marbles before the guitar plays us out. Big takeaways: keep Bitcoin tooling simple until you need the advanced stuff; privacy is a spectrum (Wasabi and UTXO management help); small wins in the circular economy matter (buying coffee with sats, setting up friends with Lightning); and building resilient lives looks a lot like permaculture—diverse inputs, steady habits, and patience.'Stacker News': https://stacker.news/'Fountain (Podcast App)': https://fountain.fm/features'Get Alby (Alby Hub + extension)': https://getalby.com/'Start9 (self‑hosting your own services)': https://start9.com/'Umbrel (home server + app store)': https://umbrel.com/'Sparrow Wallet': https://www.sparrowwallet.com/'COLDCARD (Bitcoin signing device)': https://coldcard.com/'Wallet of Satoshi': https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/'ZEUS (mobile LN + node manager)': https://docs.zeusln.app/'Blixt Wallet': https://blixtwallet.github.io/'AQUA (by JAN3)': https://jan3.com/blog/aqua-wallet-now-open-source-software'Cashu (ecash protocol)': https://cashu.space/'ThunderHub (LN node manager)': https://thunderhub.io/'Ride The Lightning (RTL)': https://github.com/Ride-The-Lightning/RTL'Wasabi Wallet (privacy/coinjoin)': https://wasabiwallet.io'Shakepay (Canada)': https://shakepay.com/'River (US)': https://river.com/'Damus (Nostr client)': https://damus.io/'Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP‑47)': https://nwc.dev/'TakeMySats (Bitcoin marketplace)': https://www.takemysats.com/'Podhome (podcast hosting + V4V)': https://www.podhome.fm/'Wildroots Coffee (Charlotte, NC)': https://maps.apple.com/place?place-id=I672A3C9FC059EAF4'Swayne Creek Ciderhouse (Vancouver Island, BC)': https://swaynecreek.ca/'Bitcoin Beans (cacao; circular economy)': https://www.bitcoinbeans.co/about'Satoshi Coffee Co.': https://sats.coffee/'Jack Kruse (light, mitochondria, health)': https://jackkruse.com/homepage/'John N.

| 4/25/26 | ![]() #4 Abominable Farewell | In this episode of the YATA podcast, Oshi kicks things off with a live guitar intro inspired by Rush’s A Farewell to Kings, and we dive into listener boosts, shoutouts, and some fun back-and-forth about our evolving “like and um” jar. We compare podcast listener stats (Podhome.fm), talk about where folks are tuning in (hello, Tanzania!), and share an open invite for questions and emails. From there we go deep on building a circular Bitcoin economy: meetups, onboarding newcomers with wallets, pricing products in USD while settling in sats via BTCPay Server, and the realities of accounting, cash flow, and taxes when you’re trying to operate on Bitcoin first. We also trade notes on Nostr clients, peer‑to‑peer swaps with RoboSats and Bisq, and the small-business grind behind handmade products—right down to Oshi’s latest jam experiment. If you’re curious about value‑for‑value, boosts, and practical steps to earn, spend, and account in Bitcoin, this one’s for you. We keep it candid, practical, and a little goofy—just the way we like it.

We unpack our “Lykem jar” accountability experiment for filler words (complete with a DIY transcript/audit workflow), share listener-inspired topics, and talk about using Stacker News for discussions and polls. We also cover our podcast setups—from mics, interfaces, and backup phone recordings to editing in Audacity and GarageBand—and how we publish via Podhome and Podcasting 2.0. From there, we celebrate early download stats, marvel at Domus showing up in our player analytics, and encourage listeners to reach out at sayhi@urthealgo.com. We spotlight the circular Bitcoin economy on Nostr, from soap and syrup to ghee and honey, plus tools like TakeMySats for quick shops.

| 4/3/26 | ![]() #2 Fuggum | In this episode of the YADA podcast, Oshi and Permanerd finally bring you “episode 2b” after a legendary technical mishap—doubling down with backups and plenty of laughs about our epic fail. We unpack the show’s mantra—You Are The Algorithm—and our value-for-value approach, inviting listeners to return whatever value they feel they received via notes, zaps, or simply listening. We share transparent analytics from our Podhome.fm hosting, shout out early boosters, and introduce the “Like'um Jar” to curb our filler words—funds destined for a community-picked cause. We also riff on playback-speed nerdiness, favorite music from Pink Floyd to Rush, and the beauty of discovering independent artists via value-for-value platforms. The core of the episode dives into practical, sovereign Bitcoin commerce. We compare our setups using BTCPay Server, Lightning channels, Alby Hub, and self-hosted stacks on Umbral/Start9, plus simple storefront approaches (iframes vs. API-driven sites), channel management, and fee-savvy flows to cold storage. We explain Nostr for newcomers—portable identity, relays, and zaps—and why protocols beat platforms. We spotlight tools like Helipad for live boost tracking, Obsidian for note workflows, and share ideas for a website, live “um” counter, and public Lightning balance display. We close with community invites for guest chats (builders, shop owners, creators), notes about what's in stock at our shops, and a reminder: you are the algorithm—reach out, boost, and let us know where you’re listening from.

We talk through why we’re drawn to decentralized protocols like Nostr and how Bitcoin and Podcasting 2.0 fit a value‑for‑value mindset. Along the way we swap stories about onboarding pains and wins—blank-slate feeds, keypairs, and relays; boosts vs. zaps; and the very real tradeoffs between convenience and freedom. We also get practical: Oshi walks through how he used AI assistants inside an IDE to build his new site, we clear up IDE vs. CLI, and we riff on open‑source stacks—from Linux on the desktop to GrapheneOS on mobile—and the everyday friction of living Google‑free (maps, messaging, and more). We close with how to reach us on Nostr, why we’ll publish without paywalls, and an open invite to send questions and ideas we can tackle in future episodes.
