This is such cool news I thought it deserves its own email. This weekend I was recommended a new bot for our Discord server . Normally bots are used for things like moderation but this bot, tip.cc ., is a crypto tipping bot. This bot is amazing. It lets you easily tip anyone on the LRN.FM Discord server . Not only can you tip other chatters, your favorite callers, and favorite show hosts - most are on Discord - but you can also "airdrop" crypto into a chat room and let anyone who wants it, lock in their claim. After a time limit specified by the tipper, the airdrop is divvied up between those who opted-in. You can do some other neat stuff with the bot. Its username is "tip.cc". Just send it a private message of "$help" - without the quotes - to learn some basics. Click the little icons that appear under its help message to see even more commands.

This week two new podcasts have been added to the lineup on LRN.FM including "Wealth, Power, and Influence" with Jason Stapleton and "The CoinSpice Podcast" with C. Edward Kelso. Learn more on our program guide here .

We also welcome 92.7 FM "KTGO" in Tioga, ND to our affiliates list at Free Talk Live! If you want to help spread Free Talk Live to more radio stations, please join the AMP program for $5 (or BTC) each month.

Finally, it's "SUBtember" at Twitch , where if you subscribe to the LRN.FM Twitch channel , it only costs $2.50 instead of the usual $5, and all of the proceeds go to LRN.FM! So if you're not subscribed on Twitch, this is a great month to try it out.

As always, thanks for listening to LRN....

It's been a busy week for Free Talk Live. Last night we had a pretty interesting episode of Freer Talk Live follow up the radio show where a bunch of vegans called in. The topic was going so strong on the radio show , we continued for another hour on Freer Talk Live, the internet-only version of our show. You can watch it here on the LRN.FM YouTube if you missed it live.

Mark also recently returned from a trip to Asia where he met with Bitcoin.com founder and longtime FTL sponsor, Roger Ver. In addition to hosting an episode of Roger's weekly Bitcoin Cash news show , Mark and Roger also did a...

If you've followed us on Twitch, thank you! Hopefully you've found the video stream notifications useful. After about a year-and-a-half of streaming on Twitch, we've crossed 1,000 followers there. Unfortunately, we're still nowhere near being close to 75 concurrent viewers during a stream, which they require to reach "partner" status. Guessing we'll need to reach 10,000 followers before we can be in that neighborhood. If you'd like to follow our Twich channel, please do at http://twitch.lrn.fm

Also, if you'd prefer a blockchain-based video streaming platform, please follow our DLive channel at http://dlive.lrn.fm - we have over 780 followers there and have done that in less than a year - much faster than on Twitch. They've got a pretty good app and already gave us partner status, so I've switched out 720p HD feed to DLive. Please follow us at http://dlive.lrn.fm and...

Free Talk Live is now accepting contributions in Monero , the world's premiere privacy coin. There are some great privacy coins out there including ZCash (ZEC) and Horizen (ZEN), but so far Monero has been chosen as the current privacy coin preference by the DarkNet markets globally. Back when Bitcoin (BTC) came out, its adoption by the world's first DarkNet market, " Silk Road " arguably was a key factor to help propel Bitcoin in its early years. The fact that DarkNet markets are embracing Monero may also portend a bright future for the unique coin. Of course, never invest what you can't afford to lose. If you don't have a Monero wallet yet, you can easily add it to your Edge Wallet .

You'll find the QR codes and wallet addresses for Monero as well as several other cryptos on our Crypto Tip Jar page .
