CoinDesk Podcast Network - THE MINING POD: Home Bitcoin Mining For The Masses With Bitaxe

Want to mine Bitcoin but don’t know how to do it from home? Have we got a podcast for you!

Welcome back to the Mining Pod! Today we’re joined by Skot, the creator of the open source Bitcoin mining project Bitaxe! Launched a bit over a year ago, Bitaxe is a simple way to bring mining back to the household by taking a chip from state of the art Bitcoin miners like the Bitmain S21 and gluing it with a bunch of other parts into a mini-home miner! We talk with Skot about the origin of the idea, why he wanted to make something like the Bitaxe, the value of home mining and the future of mega miners like Riot, Marathon or others.

Federalist Radio Hour - Who’s Behind The Radical Pro-Hamas Groups Terrorizing College Campuses And Streets?

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Ryan Mauro, Investigative Researcher for Capital Research Center, joins Federalist Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss his new report "Marching Toward Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israeli Protest Movement." One year after the October 7 massacre in which radical Islamist terrorists murdered hundreds of innocent people while kidnapping and terrorizing dozens more, Americans are still seeing terrorist sympathizers infiltrate college campuses and protest in support of terrorist organizations.

But who's behind these groups? And more importantly, is our government investigating the radical terrorist movement growing on our soil?

If you care about combatting the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

The Bulwark Podcast - BONUS EPISODE with Jason Calacanis: The Civil War in Silicon Valley

Trump used to be considered an existential threat throughout Silicon Valley, but now the tech world is split between Mark Cuban and Reid Hoffman on one side, and Elon and David Sacks on the latter. Elon & David's All-In Podcast friend "J-Cal" is on the fence. He explains that the Trump side's grievance has to do with Elizabeth Warren, socialism, DEI, the 'self-made' being attacked for being rich—and having their feelings hurts since Elon wasn't invited to the White House. Tim Miller tries to explain to J-Cal how silly these complaints are in this special bonus episode.

Native America Calling - Tuesday, October 15, 2024 – Native Bookshelf: ‘By the Fire We Carry’ by Rebecca Nagle

Native land is the medium Cherokee journalist and writer Rebecca Nagle (member of the Cherokee Nation) uses to convey the long fight for justice and accountability. By the Fire We Carry traces a detailed history from before the Trail of Tears to the current arguments in the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court, as Native Americans fight to retain what was always inherently theirs and win back what was taken by force and fraud by the U.S. Government. Nagel is the creator of the acclaimed This Land podcast that found a broad audience for the complex topics of Native sovereignty and jurisdiction, and the forces constantly working to dismantle them.
