Thanks! Now to make the global list!

Awesome! Always good to get some exposure, havent built a very big following yet. :D

Thanks! As I said for a couple others you won't get rich from this but if you have the scrap on hand its worth the time. Its hard to estimate exact yields as it has lots of variables. Older parts are better

Its certainly an opportunity based way to make some extra cash, but crypto people often have hobbies/jobs that overlap. I personally had several pounds of old ram, pci cards, and some other gold plated

Equipment and supplies, yes. However if you are trying to buy the raw material(old ram, video cards, etc) you make less than minimum wage even if you are great at it. Its more geared for people who collect

Love love love Cody's Lab. "The first attempt at compressing hydrogen exploded" as hes explaining why he has off the shelf air compressors wrapped in trash bags.

As I said in the final notes you shouldnt expect to get rich, but it helps pay for reagents in a home lab. If you also get known as the guy who accepts stuff you can get older boards for free. Learning

(1) Mental skills are high up on the list. Acting comfortable in any scenario means you won't get messed with most of the time. People assume if you don't act scared/suspicious in a bad area then you are

The painting is of a man named Len Fink who attended medical school, played football and baseball in college, where he took a baseball to the cheek(the scarred area shown). He is currently a very successful

It sounds like thats the topic several people are interested in. I will post some specific stories soon. :D

Sure, I will try to post some more specific stories soon. Do you know any tags I should use to get that to people would be interested? Thanks for the support!

Thanks! Thats one of my favorite words actually. Although "self taught" in the modern age of youtube and wikipedia isn't always fair. Some very good teachers giving lessons for free.
