In this special series, Max shares why we’re hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the fourth re-release of the series, Dojo Coder (Pavel)— a long-time cypherpunk builder whose code has powered Samourai Wallet, Dojo and Ronin Dojo joins tbd.Tbd and Pavel dig into the current state of Ronin Dojo, why the project remains alive despite setbacks, and a near-term UI update that will reintroduce a transaction privacy visualiser inspired by the now-defunct KYCP.org. Pavel also reflects on Ashigaru—a community fork of Samourai Wallet—and the relaunch of Whirlpool as an open act of defiance, the trade-offs and trust questions it raises, and practical guidance on evaluating transparency and risk. We close with Soroban’s peer-to-peer relay for Dojo to further obfuscate transaction origins, why code is speech even when courts disagree, and how listeners can support the Samourai legal defence while staying informed through reliable voices in the privacy community.Stay resilient, and enjoy the series as we continue with Colonial in the weeks ahead.TWITTER: https://x.com/TheUNBOUNDEDPodYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnboundedPodcastHELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneSUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/(00:00) Thank You TBD(01:41) INTRO(03:25) The Origin Story(09:44) Ronin Dojo: Still Alive(13:53) The Human Cost of Building(23:32) The Bitcoin Privacy Movement(34:52) Support Bill and Keonne

Pay-to-play venues, Spotify killing label revenue. Value for value as social signaling: free-to-play games make millions from cosmetic skins. Adam Curry gets it -- his listeners aren't listeners, they're producers.
