Active Mining, An Historical Perspective

Part The I, or How VMC Came To Be.

A long, long time ago, in a magical land called Missouri, lived a man of God named Ken.
Every evening Ken poured himself a jelly jar of Gordon's Gin and prayed:
"I try and try, God, but my best plans turn to fail and aids.  Thanks for nothing!"

And so he lived, until one night the jelly jar slipped from his hand, rolled, shattered, the air in the room shook, shuddered, shimmered, and *POOF!* - OMG, a magical faery!

"OHAI!" said the faery.  "How's all that drinkin' and prayin' working 4 U?"
"Piss off" mumbled Ken.
"Language!  The name's IPO, and I'm here to help.  Tomorrow night, pour off three fingers of Gordon's, drink the rest, log onto Bitcointalk, and tell the bitpeasants there just what you saw.  Don't forget to mention my name."
"Which is?"
"IPO. IPO IPO IPO IPO!  Remember my magical name, FFS!  If you can spell it, you'll be rich!"
And *POOF!* the faery was gone.
