Hello all, So, Bitcoin’s been around for some time now, we all know that. The concept of a currency without an asset to boot might seem foreign  to some. For example gold, physical gold, is tangible, is difficult to find, process and purify and it is this factored with the fact that there is a finite limit to the amount of gold in existence that makes it so special and a common go-to during times of crisis such as that in Greece currently. Should their paper money become totally devalued, the markets all around the world will certainly quake and during times like that, gold stock prices shoot up during the panic as everyone is buying up gold. Fortunately, there is a finite number of mineable bitcoins and once they are in existence, rewards for discovering the solution to a given block will be zero making mining obsolete as the only method of accruing more  bitcoins would be via transaction fees. Well now that you’ve had a crash course in what Bitcoins are and how they’re worth, well, I’ll show you the market graph for the entirety of Bitcoins existence. Following from the beginning, you’ll see that it was quickly… Read More »A Day in the Mines – Is it Still Profitable?

We’ve had some instability here in the power for unknown reasons however the surge protection and massive UPS are doing exactly what they should be and keeping things moving without a hiccup. I love watching the network statistics not even miss a bit whenever we have issues like this! Just figured I’d mention the instability in the unlikely event we do go down, now you’d have a reason to the outage. LightSpeedTaco

Hello everyone! It’s been a busy two weeks but I’ve pickup some slack and have a better handle on things now so I figured I’d make a post so you know I’m alive and kicking. First off, story time. There once was a boy who enjoyed his anime and had a vast collection. However one day, the boy was met with an unexpected disk failure. Being young and uneducated on the glory of RAID 6 and Network Attached Storage over an incredible network he suffered a great loss that day. Alas, all his accumulated anime was gone, never to be seen again. Until recently! I’ve begun to from memory pick up old anime I recall having in my collection and integrating what I can into the TV shows section of the Plex Server and so far so good! You’ll see a few titles popping up in the recently added. Some of the older content is difficult to index and subtitles are always a challenge for Plex but I’ve made most of it work so feel free to suggest or request anime titles you want to see on the server via the usual route of the contact me page and I’ll… Read More »Anime Integration

Greetings users, With all the business about streaming and streamers, etc I’ve felt I need to take more precautions and as a result this is the current situation. My server is hooked up to the internet, although, it’s connection is encrypted. Everything goes through a 256 bit OpenVPN encrypted connection including a specialized DNS service that is also have private. In the event that that connection is not established for whatever reason. (VPN server goes down, my connection goes down, anything that loses encrypted connectivity) my server will lock down and no WAN traffic will be able to cross the border between my system and the internet. Now I know this may slow things down in the streaming state of things however I feel it to be currently necessary and hope that you can understand. Please do keep me informed of stream quality although bear in mind this new policy. The time between disconnection and reconnection is roughly 5 minutes due to Dynamic DNS needing to re register with my new IP once the encrypted connection is re-established. A large flood of requests for content is also being dealt with currently so consider that as well. I’m sorry this all… Read More »Operation Lockdown

Hello all, I’ve received a large volume of requests that I’m taking care of and as a result the connection for streamers may be degraded somewhat however it is prioritized so it should remain watchable. Thanks for understanding, it’ll all be worth it. LightSpeedTaco
