MrBitcoin: keybase, not codebase

Jan 30, 2019: looking for help filing my tax return(s). I found https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-you-by-volunteers, but gave up on that endeavor when I was unable to log into adp.com to get my previous W-2s. If anyone reading this can help make the tax nightmare of mine go away, please contact me via [https://keybase.glencooper.com/ keybase.glencooper.com].

MrBitcoin: goodbye name.com

Oct 06, 2018: all hosts on bithost have been permanently deleted. I have fallen multiple times since last update. Vertigo and dizziness is now nearly a constant fight. I'm struggling everyday just to feed myself. I asked my neurologist to double the dosage of my antidepressant prescription, which he did. It's helping slightly, but it's a struggle not even being able to get Social Security disability, Unemployment, Welfare, or even food stamps. I haven't even been able to pay any child support since May since they cut off my Long-Term Disability. 
Oct 07, 2018: confirmed that all domain names have been transferred away from name.com registrar. Using only [http://domains4bitcoins.com/ domains4bitcoins.com] from here on out.

<h1>vps7.yellowsprinkles.org hosted on [https://dashboard.bithost.io/ bithost.io]</h1> 
 
20180501T0753Z: planning on creating another new server on[https://bithost.io/ bithost.io]. 
20181017T2009Z: happened to be looking at this page and fixed a typo. No vps7 was ever created since I ran out of $. If/when I happen to come into $ again, resume by starting to build vps7.

20180501T0751Z: need to give this another go by creating another new server on [https://bithost.io/ bithost.io]. 
20190218T0857Z: was able to log into [https://bithost.io/ bithost.io]. Found that I still have a $9.98 account credit on there. It would cost $7.50/mo to start up a new server. I'm flat broke, just hoping to be able to eat at this point. I have yet to get a SNAP card, but Social Services said they sent one in the mail... who knows how long it'll take to show up.

MrBitcoin: vps1 and vps4 deleted for nonpayment

Apr 12, 2018: finished paying off all outstanding Amazon Web Services outstanding invoices. Requested account re-initiation with the following message to their Billing Support staff: 

:Hello. I am starting to rebuild my web presence and would like to possibly utilize AWS again. 
:I have settled all of my outstanding charges. My apologies for the lapse in my payment history. I was very tragic car accident in which my fiancée died. I was in a coma for a month, in the hospital for 2 months, and am just now starting to be able to function again. I will do everything in my power to keep up on my AWS charges, as well as not be in a serious car accident ever again. There is no doubt my seatbelt saved my life. Please always wear yours. 
:I have little to no interest in recovering any of my old data, but may be interested in checking to see what it was, if that's possible/convenient. I'm primarily interested in building a new EC2 server. 
:Thanks,
:Glen 

 
Apr 13, 2018: had two shattered molars successfully extracted, bone graft completed. Follow up in a couple weeks to start first dental implant. Agreed to pay $3600 out-of-pocket. Already paid half in cash. 
Apr 22, 2018: bithost.io deleted both vps1.yellowsprinkles.org and vps4.yellowsprinkles.org for nonpayment, as well as all historical backups. Lost about a year's worth of work with that whole debacle. Unsure if I'll have the time, money, or willpower to restart this project again.

MrBitcoin: ssh keys are working to hostgator now

Feb 25, 2017: Still alive. Finally getting back to this project a little. I have to in order to survive. I shattered my teeth with another contracture during sleep. I'm now missing 3 molars in a row and there are only razor sharp painful stubs where they used to be. I need a root canal on the other side, and it will cost me $1200 out-of-pocket... no can do since I only have about $500/mo to survive on. Denied unemployment. Denied Social Security. Jail is sounding really good right about now. 
Feb 26, 2017: 1:18am got SSH keys working to my primary webserver at hostgator. One step closer to activating full-time screen-recording. That's the plan... maybe I'll sell subscriptions to the feed... anything in order to make money.

MrBitcoin: vps4 payment problem

Nov 18, 2017: vps4.yellowsprinkles.org was offline for a couple hours. Turned out it was due to nonpayment. Paid. Server is back online again, but unsure for how much longer I'll be able to keep this project alive. My Long Term Disability has been turned off so I'm now only receiving barely enough to survive on (about $500/mo).

MrBitcoin: hashflare.io is likely a ponzi scheme

Oct 14, 2017: just realized that I've been so swamped trying to patch all the holes in my communication paths to everyone that I haven't updated this site in weeks. The price of bitcoin has begun it's rapid ascent and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. I had to shut everyone off because everyone I've ever known wants to know what they should do about bitcoin... buy? sell? hold? I will not give anyone any financial advice, please don't ask me about anything bitcoin related. I'm overloaded, can't help everyone, sorry. 
Oct 21, 2017: BEWARE: HASHFLASH.IO is very likely a ponzi scheme. They are ridiculously slow on their payouts, and they only offer Manual Payouts.

MrBitcoin: binance wants a passport for KYC/AML

Sep 3, 2017: URGENT MESSAGE TO ANYONE USING JAXX: get everything you might have in it out of it ASAP (if it's not already gone). Jaxx is not secure 
Sep 12, 2017: finally got SSL hacked together for 1GLENCo.com. Received an A rating at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=1glenco.com 
Sep 19, 2017: 12:42am after MANY weeks of searching, I finally found a bitcoin exchange where I am fully compliant with all of their terms & conditions: https://anxpro.com/pages/terms ([http://foundation.glencooper.com/semiprivate/20170919T0350Z-anxpro_terms-Appendix_A.png screenshot] | [https://stamp.io/stamp/j7r3ykwf stampery certificate]). Now it's time to sign up an account and start coding against their API. 
Sep 19, 2017: 1:06am the lawmakers are absolutely killing me. I thought I'd finally found what I've been searching for and was all excited about it. I read EVERY SINGLE WORD of their Terms & Conditions document, and it never said anything about the USA being disallowed... until I tried to sign up an account. That's when it said [https://goo.gl/T56Xrq THIS]. I'm outraged and would leave the country if I could. I'm ashamed to be part of the USA now. Nice job America. 
Sep 30, 2017: 6:08am another disappointment. I thought I'd found an exchange which allows US residents that also has [http://www.waltonchain.org/ Walton (WTC)] available: [https://www.binance.com/ binance.com]. I got far enough to buy some WTC, but when I tried to save some money on the conversion fees by buying some BNB, they required KYC/AML ID verification. Took selfie, uploaded. Then found out they also require a passport to be scanned/uploaded. FML! America is going to be the first bankrupt country in the history of the world because the government is preventing United States residents from participating in so many exchanges where MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE BEING MADE!

Aug 1, 2017: The Bitcoin network has forked as of block 478559. 
Aug 2, 2017: It's official. This is a crazy world we live in. Bitcoin Cash was born. Bitcoin cash is the most idiotic thing the world has ever seen. Anyone who touches their bitcoin right now deserves to lose it.

MrBitcoin: whitelist link

This wiki.yellowsprinkles.org was meant to serve as a daily journal which I knew would help my ability to remember things after suffering a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) in a fatal car accident I was involved in on July 22, 2016. I've used MediaWiki for many years as part of my job as a Network Engineer prior to the accident, so already had much of the wiki knowledge in my tool set. It's difficult or impossible to learn new things after a TBI, so I'm very fortunate to have already had a lot of exposure to MediaWiki before the accident.

Jul 01, 2017: 11:31am updated https://vps1.yellowsprinkles.org/ message with new expected opening date. New York has made the YellowSprinkles.org project near impossibly difficult. Never giving up, just adjusted the time line to something more realistic.

Jul 02, 2017: 4:30pm spent a good amount of time kicking the tires of Tails 3.0. I'm impressed, but it takes approximately 30 minutes for each reboot and to get logged back in. That amount of time will improve as time goes on. 
Jul 02, 2017: 11:46pm successfully tarballed the ethererum chaindata. Going to try using ethereum without having to maintain a complete copy of the entire blockchain since it's quickly consuming massive amounts of storage space and thrashing my SSD.

Jul 06, 2017: 12:22pm absolutely amazing stuff with this name registration process. Mind blowing. Game changing. Finally! A solution to my addiction to registering (and paying for) so many .com domains and other TLD domains! I'm totally fine with .eth domains. The process is very time-sensitive, and I can't adhere to the 72-hour/48-hour right now, but I'm sure I'll come back to this soon...

Jul 07, 2017: 8:01pm took my first Lyft ride in New York state today on my way back home. Again, been using Lyft for years in VA. The driver did not seem intelligent enough to comprehend bitcoin.

I tipped on [https://bitpay.com/card bitpay debit card] through the Lyft app and also gave him a small amount of good old fashioned cash. 
Jul 08, 2017: 2:09am getting very close to the likely bitcoin blockchain split coming around the end of July. Everyone should get all of your coins off the exchanges before this time. There will surely be VERY WILD price swings coming soon since if people move coins off the exchanges, that's when the huge fluctuations set in quick. Read [https://news.bitcoin.com/blockchain-split-staying-informed-bitcoin-keys/?utm_source=OneSignal%20Push&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications this article] for good advice. 
Jul 08, 2017: 2:50am signed up an account at [https://live.ether.camp live.ether.camp]. The smart contracts within ethereum are amazingly powerful stuff.

Jul 12, 2017: Pulling everything possible out of ethereum (AGAIN). NOTE TO SELF: Search "ethereumexodus" in KeePassXC for matches. Ethereum's smart contracts are great, but ethereum itself is not good for storing value. The price of ethereum is crashing pretty hard. $206.00 USD per Ether right now. I'm out. 
Jul 13, 2017: 4:15am spent way too much time investigating [https://www.tezos.com/ tezos.com] to not get in at least with the minimum on this ICO. There will undoubtedly be laws to make ICOs illegal, or at least regulated in some half-assed attempt by government to step in and fuck it all up.

Jul 23, 2017: 11:23am stopped opening the account at https://spacebtc.com because I read this section in their terms and conditions: 
<code>2.5. The Website has not been designed for and cannot be used by residents of the United States.

SpaceBTC, as well as any other person, authorized by SpaceBTC to administer the Website, under no circumstances can be held liable under any laws, including but not limited to the regulations contained in the 16 U.S. Code Chapter 4 (FATCA), in case a citizen or a resident of the United States of America violates this clause 2.5.</code> 
Ugh!!!! Come on USA, really? 
Jul 23, 2017: 11:52am Just totally bored myself half to sleep reading [https://www.irs.gov/irb/2014-16_IRB/ar12.html this IRS Virtual Currency Guidance document]. Basically, don't do over $600.00 per transaction and you won't have to 1099 the transactions. 
Jul 23, 2017: 12:01pm To summarize [http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title26/subtitleA/chapter4&edition=prelim this From Title 26—INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, CHAPTER 4—TAXES TO ENFORCE REPORTING ON CERTAIN FOREIGN ACCOUNTS], as I understand it, is the IRS wants 30% of any transactions done with a foreign company involving cryptocurrency, something they have zero control over and they won't accept that 30% in cryptocurrency, so additional fees must be paid to centralized exchanges, none of which are FDIC protected. Yeah, makes perfect sense to me.

Daily Journal-Jun 2017

MrBitcoin: hello console.cloud.google.com

Jun 1, 2017: 5:07am rebooted vps6 
Jun 2, 2017: 11:20am my phone number used for the last 14 years has been turned off. Preparing for the avalanche of issues to deal with associated with that. 
Jun 2, 2017: 12:05pm locked out of my only bank account that still has any USD left in it because it wanted me to verify my identity by texting or calling my old phone number, which I can no longer do. 
Jun 2, 2017: 12:10pm got back into bank account after speaking with bank support tech when I called them. 
Jun 2, 2017: 12:31pm still waiting on fraud reversal from Fidelity. According to what they said verbally that I have a recording of, the two additional fraudulent charges should be reversed by June 9th. 
Jun 2, 2017: 2:19pm making decent progress on migrating Google Authenticator 2FA from old iphone to new one. During the process, I had an idea that I'd like to suggest anyone working for the government or any bank take into consideration: the moment a fraud report comes in, buy bitcoin for whatever amount is reported to be fraudulent. Hold onto it for up to 10 business days and sell it back to the market whenever there is a decent amount of profit to be had, then reimburse the fraudulently stolen fiat currency, and come out ahead causing deflation instead of just printing more money to replace the fraudulently stolen money causing inflation. Hmm... yeah, don't listen to him... he's crazy. 
Jun 3, 2017: day off 
Jun 4, 2017: 5:26am On front page of yahoo: [https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/05/25/could-the-price-of-bitcoin-go-to-1-million.aspx could bitcoin reach $1M?] simple answer: yes, of course bitcoin could go to $1 million each. But that's assuming any of the world is still dealing with USD by then. I believe bitcoin and ethereum will replace all fiat money worldwide, so there will be no USD value of anything anymore. 
Jun 4, 2017: 6:06am I switched from Fidelity to another bank as soon as the fraudulent charges first appeared on my Fidelity debit card. Now the new bank I went with has hijacked funds and cut off my ability to even access my balance on their website or on their app on my phone. They're saying to call them, but they're closed now. Oh joy... here we go again... I hereby vow to never do business with any bank ever again unless there's no alternative. They are constantly hijacking my own money "for my protection" causing me to lose money by them doing so. They should instead say, "We have hijacked your money and prevented you from gaining interest on it with bitcoin."

Jun 5, 2017 5:55am ran "sudo apt-get update" on vps5. 
Jun 6, 2017 1:31am getting tired of the skyrocketing prices of cryptocurrencies... and of warning friends who asked if now was a good time to get into bitcoin. Absolutely without a doubt I said. Now would be a good time to sell any stocks, if you have any. That got me thinking... wouldn't that advice be in the news too...? It is, here: [https://banyanhill.com/exclusives/80-stock-market-crash-to-strike-in-2016-2/ stock market to crash]

Hopefully reading [https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-solves-runaway-inflation-by-undermining-trusted-third-parties/ this article] might make you wake up and realize what's really going on around here. 
Jun 6, 2017: 3:33pm finally figured out a way to convert some fiat USD off my debit card to ethereum using the link that appears when viewing an ethereum account inside the ethereum wallet. Services provided by coinbase.

Chevy Chase says it best: [http://videos.glencooper.com/youre_all_fucked_in_the_head_(chevy_chase).mp4 You're all fucked in the head!]. To figure it out if you're fucked in the head too, ask yourself this: what do you believe in: math, or politicians? All cryptocurrency is based on math. All other money as you know it is fiat currency and is based on politicians and the government that controls you.

May 9, 2017: 9:50am saw OrthoNY again today and have decided I will never go back to them again under any circumstances because I almost got into a fight with the doctor that saw me when he said his reports say that I can't possibly be feeling any pain. Time to lawyer up again. The session ended with me asking to have my leg amputated and him agreeing to a second opinion in June. I'm now on a leave of absence from my my career job of 14 years until July 22, 2017.

May 11, 2017: Unboxing of new shredder and scanner. EFT setup for Long-Term disability is now set up. Filled out form for request of medical records. 
May 12, 2017: spent many hours dealing with doctors, all in writing. No more dealing with any of them in person. I will only talk to doctors in writing in an electronically recorded (for training and quality purposes only) method, even if seeing them in-person.

May 14, 2017: 6:38pm giving up on trying to use that old VPS as vps5. It's simply not a VPS of the caliber needed for yellowsprinkles. Kept getting "FATAL -> Failed to fork" error messages whenever trying to do anything. Basically, not enough RAM in that VPS to make use of it.

May 16, 2017: 3:30pm called Fidelity to check on the fraud report. When it originally happened and I reported it to them on the 7th, they said it would take 5 business days to reverse the charges.

USCIS is currently considering issues involving virtual currency such as Bitcoin". It's about damn time some leg of the government is waking up! 
May 18, 2017: 11:13pm wasted many hours (over 8 in all!) today dealing with the fraudulent charges against my Fidelity debit card. I took the time to explicitly detail exactly which charges were fraudulent and not reimbursed yet, all of it in writing, all of it legally timestamped using [https://stamp.io Stampery]. The support response was that they cannot process fraud reports via their Secure Messaging System and that I must call into their 24x7 support line. I'm so freaking pissed! The banks are literally thieves. In my follow-up snide response I said I was sorry they couldn't read. I can't talk since I'm disabled and can only respond in writing to them. I feel like suing them for discrimination against persons with disabilities!

May 20, 2017: 1:36pm HISTORIC MOMENT! Bitcoin just hit $2,000 a piece. Still a very small taste of what's coming.

May 21, 2017: made my first ever birthday card that had bitcoin in it instead of cash. The beauty of that is that it's a gift that will be worth MUCH MORE SOMEDAY than it was when it was gifted. If my time and focus wasn't already consumed with development of this YellowSprinkles idea, the idea of bitcoin birthday cards is another whole possibility that can be developed. Hallmark would love the idea... maybe they'll build it someday. 
May 22, 2017: 12:52pm waiting on a bitcoin transaction to go through since almost 3 days ago. Found [http://bitcointicker.co/networkstats/ this page] which earned a bookmark. It's an excellent tool which helps show what's going on with the bitcoin network using live data. 
May 22, 2017: 10:57pm HISTORIC MOMENT: decided to purchase transaction acceleration service from [http://www.viabtc.com/?r=16857 viabtc.com]. If this works, this means it's a whole new market emerging in selling transaction acceleration service. Absolutely fascinatingly mind blowing. 
May 23, 2017: 2:13am transaction acceleration works! The transaction that I made that was stuck as unconfirmed in the blockchain has been confirmed now since it was in the [https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000001f49df4c4f961f315a45aeeaa14febf3db7da8fea4724c0 next block mined by ViaBTC]. This is a game changer. 
May 24, 2017: 9:04am bitpay goes global! See [https://news.bitcoin.com/bitpays-bitcoin-card-131-countries/?utm_source=OneSignal%20Push&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications this NOT-fake-news-article] 
May 24, 2017: 8:34pm anxiously awaiting the opening of [https://prism.exchange/signup?r=mDl6U ShapeShift's Prism Exchange]. According to them, it will be "a platform powered by smart contract technology, will revolutionize crypto-finance as you know it". Sounds good to me! Show me what you're workin with! Shake that ass! Watch yo'self! 
May 25, 2017: 6:15am I tried to avoid posting yet another record high snapshot pic... they're becoming so frequent that it's just lost the excitement factor. I'll try to make this one the last for a while...

May 25, 2017: 11:27am dealing with fraud against my Fidelity debit card yet again, 3rd call to them about it. This time I recorded the entire call and it is available on google drive as "201705251115-fidelity_fraud-8003433548.mp3". They said it'll be 10 days before they can reverse the two fraudulent charges that they missed from May 1st and May 2nd. If the $200 worth of fraud hadn't occurred, and I bought bitcoin with it on May 2 (when it was $1406.07), it would be worth $340.24! That means this fraud bullshit and Fidelity's inability to take a fraud report in writing has already cost $140.24 that Fidelity will never reimburse me for. Grrrrr 
May 26, 2017: trying to figure out what to do about my job that I know I'm not capable of returning to. 
May 27, 2017: day off. Played mini golf

May 28, 2017: 5:24pm HISTORIC MOMENT: acquired first [https://golem.network/ golem] cryptocurrency today using a combination of https://www.myetherwallet.com/ and https://shapeshift.io/. Pretty much any of this cryptocurrency stuff is a gamble, but I like the idea behind [https://golem.network/ golem]...

May 30, 2017: 10:11am said goodbye to vpsserver.com for their decision to suspend service to vps2 and vps3 for running [https://github.com/klynastor/supervanitygen supervanitygen] on there.

Apr 09, 2017: 12:30pm awoke from a morning nap with an idea of how to combine vanitygen + crystamped + bitcoin in a way that will be cool and profitable, but the internet was down in such a way that I wasn't able to record the idea in the wiki. 
Apr 09, 2017: 12:35pm the internet came back up, idea recorded! 
Apr 09, 2017: 12:36pm started installing [https://github.com/klynastor/supervanitygen supervanitygen] on [[Vps1#201704091236 | vps1]] 
Apr 10, 2017: 12:08pm found that backups are still failing on hostgator even though inodes count has been reduced to under 100,000. Manually created backup job saving to home directory. Need to check it tomorrow after the replacement hard drive cable arrives.

Apr 10, 2017: 2:14pm unable to apply for medicaid because I was denied with reason: "We have determined that the individual(s) listed below are not eligible, to enroll in a qualified health plan at full cost through NY State of Health." 
Apr 12, 2017: 11:00am priced out health insurance in the marketplace. Just under $1000/mo. Nice. Thanks Obamacare! 
Apr 13, 2017: 3:37pm just found out (in [http://www.newsbtc.com/2017/04/13/stampery-notary-services-now-available-part-microsoft-office/ this news article]) that Microsoft has already implemented the idea behind my [https://crystamped.org crystamped.org]. I hope to still build it because the bitcoin blockchain and the method of provably timestamping a document into the blockchain is the same, and I like the name crystamped better than stampery anyway. 
Apr 14, 2017: 8:02am [https://freebitco.in/?r=2838504 freebitco.in] has a really nicely built system that allows you to instantly enter a weekly lottery draw for free that has very large prizes. Awesome site!

Apr 16, 2017: 9:06am the ECDSA key fingerprint of [[Vps3|vps3]] changed for an unknown reason. This is a sign that the host may have been compromised. NOTE TO SELF: Do not log into this host until it has been restored from the last known safe snapshot.

Apr 17, 2017: 4:43pm scratch that BitWala idea. It costs $19.15 USD flat fee to send money from Germany to United States. F that! Banking thieves! 
Apr 21, 2017: 12:00pm spent my last dollar on a cab ride to go pick up what I thought was my next disability check. Turns out it was a notification letter saying I am ineligible for whatever bullshit reason they came up with. I sense an arrest coming in my near future. 
Aor 22, 2017: 4:00am locked out of primary Ubuntu laptop because something went wrong with trying to install [https://kmymoney.org/ kymymoney.org]. It tried to convert my desktop from unity to KDE. I tried to back out of it and now have a laptop that won't boot at all. All of my ssh private keys are on that laptop. Need to try getting back in with an ubuntu Live CD, but I have no blank CDs or DVDs.

Apr 25, 2017: 12:59pm unable to nuke the primary ubuntu laptop harddrive to reinstall a fresh ubuntu installation. Need to try installing via an actual Ubuntu Live CD instead of an Ubuntu Live on SD Card.
