    I am 100% sure GRF don't want them going there either.

    And 200% sure they do not want us referring them to GRF......

    I like the idea of telling the newbs its dangerous and they won't find any info about using acids on metals that are any stronger than vinegar.

    And if they want to actually get Gold, how to prepare computers etc for escrap and a rough idea on how much they can make from, say 50 computers, by selling it as escrap.
    A proper breakdown of value of 50 random computers.

    I know if some was wanting to learn, 50 computers is not enough to refine themselves and then there's all the different processes they have to do.
    Even the physical work makes it unprofitable to refine at home. Too much work, to many processes and too little source material to make it worthwhile.
    They are not going to reclaim the Silver in the solder or the Copper tracks. So its off to a bad start.....
    That's now polluted waste material and what is a virgin refiner going to do with all that waste?

    A proper escrap refiner will buy, and profit off just that waste material. The prime reason why any of us is doing scrap metal is the environmental aspect.
    We are actually profiting off the environmental laws and reasons.
    If the environment and pollution were not taken into account we would never recycle as we could never compete with the big metal producers.

    If someone does want to get actual Gold from escrap, tell them 'Patnors method' and since it does not involve acids, its safe and within our guidelines.
    The chips can be taken from low grade or damaged boards. Everything else that they get can go to a escrap buyer, for ca$h.
    It will satisfy most peoples thirst of knowledge and once they learn that 'its not all that it seems' they get the golden info on 'how to really profit and do it'.

    Plus, they can still show the little round dollop of real Gold they got from patnors method. Which, is a proper sideline to amassing escrap.
    You can sell the chips, or reclaim the Gold from them. Just don't try refining it from it, its not worth it.



    And, hell we are supposed to support each other, do that in health, wealth and happiness. Sell your escrap to a SMF escrap buyer.
