The collection

Feature articles

Six pieces describing the corners of the 1n2.org universe — the database under the hood, the show archives that feed it, the cards that started everything, the methodology behind the long-form reports, and the games that exist for joy.

The plumbing

What is brain.db?

528K+ items, nightly Gemma enrichment, and a /brain/ask endpoint. The spine of the site.

The archive

The Mad Bitcoins archive

594 episodes since 2013, transcripts, the reports that came out of them.

The show ecosystem

TBG, WCN, TIB — three shows, one beat

482 + 1,568 + 234 episodes. Why the count matters and how the shows split the work.

The origin

The Curio Cards story

2017 co-founding, four years dormant, Christie's auction, and the wiki built around it.

The methodology

How the reports get written

VERIFY-style structure, verbatim quotes, episode citations, Whisper-mangle awareness.
