About this episode
The episode discusses a technical mishap, the value-for-value approach, and practical Bitcoin commerce setups.
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…
