I moved these posts here instead of the Rogues Gallery because I didn't want to pass judgement on Rouge or why he's here. We all want what is best for the forum, and sometimes that means helping new members fit in here.

Thank you FrugalRefiner! I highly appreciate you're kindness and understanding. I am trying to fit in despite my rather unusual situation. I am processing 5 metric tons of material with only readily available chemicals in a part of the world where amateur chemistry is looked rather dimly upon, thus why I use the dark web servers a lot to avoid tracking. My goal in this process is to make a process that anyone can do, thus allowing ordinary people with little prior experience to reduce the amount of e-waste shipped overseas or dumped into landfills by disassembling and or processing it themselves. I'm an environmental activist and scientist, looking for a community to collaborate with for sharing similar ideas that has more experience than I do. I am a firm believer that trash is resources that people aren't knowledgeable enough to repurpose in some way. I hope that I can find my way into this social circle and figure out how to share my ideas and thoughts in a way that will be accepted.FrugalRefiner said:I moved these posts here instead of the Rogues Gallery because I didn't want to pass judgement on Rouge or why he's here.

I'm in the US, though the exact location isn't accessible to other sites I visitanachronism said:Rougemillenial said:[ I am trying to fit in despite my rather unusual situation.

Whilst I don't mean to be picky, you're not in the US then as your profile states.
anachronism said:OK so I'd be interested to hear from other people from the US and see if they agree with your assessment. Do they feel as though they need to access the dark web to avoid tracking? Alternatively are they simply not paranoid?.
Geo said:My "lab" has been tested a total of three different times by LEO since I have been refining. By now, all my neighbors know what I do and any new call about suspicious behavior is simply not investigated. Most of the city officers has been here at one time or another know what I do. If you are legit, like I am, you are proud to show the officers what you do and show them a nice shiny piece of gold or silver. It's only when you are not legit that you have to worry about the police.
kernels said:I believe in one of his posts Rouge mentioned that so far he had pulled about a pound of Gold and few kgs of Silver from his 5 Metric ton pile, once again, a few pictures would sure convince us quickly. Or is he the only Millenial on the planet not taking pictures of everything ?
Geo said:As far as the times I was checked, the refining was never an issue. I was cited for open buckets and a pile of electronics covered by a tarp and my electrical supply was not up to code. I had to redo the electrical from the service pole all the way to the breaker box. My father had done his own work twenty years before I acquired the property. The utility meter reader checked the meter every month and never said a thing. When the first raid happened, they brought every agency they could including code enforcement. They disconnected the power that day and I had to bring everything up to city code and have it inspected before they would turn the power back on. I am not even in the city limits but I am in the police jurisdiction.
I found it valuable. Everybody loves gold. Very few people like chemistry. And when you don't know what you don't know but you know you're gonna go after some gold it is extremely easy to do anything he just explained. I wasn't that bad not even close but blind gold fever gets everyone. If it wasn't for gold, chemistry could off. lolorbit?! jet stream?!...dream on!... how old? 13?
Ok, I read this (lots of time, vacation here). Now, you finally convinced me, you don't know, what you are doing and what people like you do, is the main reason why chemicals are getting harder available, more regulated and monitored - for a good reason, I have to admit.
I am not impressed at all. It is not funny, nor can I see any value in this massive waste of 30 minutes of my lifetime.
