6 months after we though we solved this problem, the basement had flooded again after just a typical rain.

So much of my stuff is ruined. Boxes of electronics and Dover stuff I had to put up in the studio when it was done.

An entire box of bitcoin books, including my signed Fiat Standard from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak, same with my Bullish Case signed from Vijay, 7th Property from Yakes

The motherboard I fought with for months to get repaired, soaked completely through.

This is a fucking shit show. My whole show setup is down here. Don’t even know what to do honestly.


That’s horrible, sorry Guy.


That’s brutal. Sorry to hear that Guy.


Real sorry to hear about this my friend.


That’s horrible, I’m so sorry.


Sorry ...breathe is all i can recommend til you can calm down and think clearly, very sorry


Sorry man. Bitcoin doesn't fix this.


Sorry to hear that Guy. Sounds terrible


Duuude. Fuck.


Sorry to hear dude, that's brutal...


Waterproofing basements is expensive and very hard work. Is it seeping through the block or is it coming through a door entrance?


Very sorry.


We rebuild


Oh shit, so sorry man!


Stay positive. You got this. At least now you know more clearly than ever before what it is that you want.


probably not much consolation but when everything falls down very often we get up a lot faster than we expect, so, good luck, godspeed


Appreciate it. I’ve unfortunately been here before. Just not as bad as this one. I grew complacent thinking it was solved


F man, so sorry to hear this. I have a bunch of extra audio gear if you need anything.


It’s coming up from underneath.


Meditate on it, there’s nothing you can do, nothing to be done.


Oh no! Drowned the machines? That’s fucking stupid.

🤦


we suffer the same in our basement. No working solution so far 🫤 I'm very sorry for your damage Guy


sorry bro

sorry bro


This sucks sooo bad 😞

😬Sorry to hear.🙏


Damn that sucks so bad. I'm sorry to hear! All you can do is repair and rebuild one step at a time. Keep your head up and keep moving onwards, what's done is done


Shit dude, I’m so sorry… that fucking sucks ass…


Ugh. That sucks man. Sorry to hear that.

Fuck man this sucks, I hope you backed up some of the digital work.

Glad there were no keys lost in this flooding accident 😅

For what it's worth, I am sure nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak and others would happily send a signed copy again.


Thanks man, really appreciate the offers of help. I have my travel mic still luckily.

I’ll figure it out. Always do. Just fucking sucks a great giant donkey dick. I just want to give up on this fucking house sometimes. Wasted so much bitcoin trying to make this piece of shit work for us.


That’s their exit? Their own ass?

In Swedish they have a saying:
Världens vigaste man, kröp up i arslet och försvann

Logical fallacy. In your case of why a jar in a human can live to tell about it by setting the right standards for operating.

But complete Atlantis is kinda kamikaze chimera safe.

You didn’t have to Atlantis, just make sure to always have the right plates on when thinking. Simple enough to correct, fraught of knowledge, but intentional kamikaze chimera? Walking through the desert with no water to be found?

fuck that house!


inscriptions never get flooded


Tap that ass.
🫶🏻


I'm so sorry, Guy. But one thing that you didn't lose and you never will is your success. That can't ever be destroyed.

Another thing that didn't get flooded is my sincere admiration for you that helped spark my podcast.

There are many more important things you have that can never get flooded out.

So sorry, dude. Take a beat. One step at a time. Beware the mold...trust me.


🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh. I needed that

I’m sorry to hear, that sucks!

I recently broke 3/4 limbs in an accident. I require help to do everything and will be out of work for months.

I will recover in time and i know you will too. take some time and then move forward.

Dude that sucks.  I have had my basement flood only to learn that my sump pumps had burnt out.  I always double check before any storms.

Thanks so much for your work.  It has been pivotal in my understanding of Bitcoin and many other economic and philosophical lessons.

Vent, Breathe, Regroup, Repair, and Improve.  As we all know you will!!


Did you make a recovery backup for your basement?


It'd be awesome to zap Guy enough to cover the insurance deductible.

Prayers, brother.

Prayers, brother.


Zapped over some sats. Wishing a quick recovery from this 🫂💜🤙


Oh man sorry to hear this. Keep your chin up 🫂💜


🥲sorry to hear that 🫂


Damn i'm sorry that happened to you.


Ohhh man sorry, many towns near me have also been flooded since November. Entire houses have been lost, really sad to see that


I am so sorry man!! This is so sad to hear. I hope you recover soon! 🙏


Was your sump pump overwhelmed too quickly to move precious items?

Or no sump pump at all?

Really sorry to hear about this. Thanks for everything you do.


Your post is getting a lot of attention.

Ouch 😓


Sorry bud. Houses in Costa Rica does not have basement. Not one. I say you close that mf and never use it again.
You will do fine recovering your stuff (take the motherboard in a big box with rice, let it there for few days... Silica gel helps too.)
Stay positive ⭐


Oh no! Really sorry for you bad luck, Guy. Hope you get the mess sorted out quickly, and the problem fixed forever.


Oof. Sorry to hear that. The motherboard might be possible to save, the way Tico said, though I'd recommend a couple of more steps first to maximize the chances and avoid possible problems in the future: First, if it's installed, remove the BIOS battery as soon as possible, to minimize any electrolysis corrosion, then rinse the board with distilled water to get off any salts or dirt in the flooding water, that otherwise later might absorb moisture from the air and start conducting, then put it to dry according to Tico's instruction.

You're doing great, bro 🙏🏻


Sorry to hear. Absolutely devastating.


oh no


Thats shit dude. Sorry you lost so much stuff. 😔 hopefully zaps help


Hope you get your basement sorted.  HMU if you need to borrow a LDC mic, I have a few.


I'm so sorry to hear this, Guy! That really sucks


What in the actual world... Stupid question of my part... fixed how, contractor involved? warranty of any kind? I mean... Oi!!! I'm angry now...

nostr:note1hu0gjjxfucf047mx2ralg4tkx7vwhl4mcx347wn2sh5xmvtlmwfskdckhj


Amigo! Sry have been there in  past. It will get better these physical things will not matter one day. Dm me if there is anything we can do to help you.


What's your grading around your foundation like?
I had a new build before and ya it was graded but with just dirt and sand. You need to plant grass or something to hold it all together.


Sorry Guy. Stay strong. This too shall pass!


It hasn’t had anything installed on it yet, so it’s about as “fresh” as it gets. I have it sitting in front of my miner downstairs to dry along with a bunch of books that might be salvageable.

Hopefully the water was clean enough that it isn’t a problem and it boots up fine when I get the other machine back together. The other things related to that with water damage are mostly my stack of silent fans that were going into my computers and my S9 for the space heater. The S9 is an old beast so maybe it’ll start back up fine as well.

I’m hoping that many of the things that ended up in the water might still be recoverable.


Hope these sats can help you recover Guy.


Stay strong, brother. You will rebuild. ✊⚡💜


That sucks. Be strong. Most things can be replaced. Rebuild your studio one step at a time. Ask for help if you need it.


Short term, this sucks (no getting around it).

Long term it'll be a great story to tell your kids and grandkids.

Until then, one step and one day at a time... 😃

Dam! Take a deep breath. One foot in front of the other. Dehydrator machine may help some objects. Good luck 🍀


Man that stinks.


Damn bro. What kind of wreck?


Sucks, sucks, sucks. But barely an obstacle for you.


splitboarding


I feel for you bro. I hope you heal up quick.


appreciate it!


sorry to hear about the flood bro.


Thanks man. It’s still so gross down there. Hoping nothing else gets ruined just from the humidity.


Oh nooooo I’m so sorry 😞


Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the fans, usually it's not much more than a Hall effect sensor and a couple of transistors in them, IIRC. Depending on bearing type, there might be places that trap water though, potentially causing rust if it remains, so I'd shake them thoroughly in different directions and let them dry for an extended time.


Thats gotta suck a lot, im sorry man. There are ways to restore your books tho, text may not look the same but you can still try.

I should get a copie of reasons why not to buy altcoins... seems very compelling!


Brutal. Please know how many people are sending you positivity right now... thanks for all you do. Sorry this happened brother


Aww
