I felt i should write an article about my hacker friend named sinned aka Dennis Moran who was the first person to show me Bitcoin back in 2009 and I remember he sent me a bitcoin back when it was under $1 and teling me to start mining and I should have really just quit school an listened to him but I was so busy with school an social life at Santa Cruz with all the drugs and psychedelics and weed and dubstep in 2008, but i DO have a memory of being in the "Green Monster" Victorian House in Santa Cruz, CA back in 2008 to 2009 and Dennis aka Sinned aka Coolio messaged me over IRC telling me to download this bitcoin program, and to start mining and how I should invest in just buying as much bitcoins as I could and remember this was back when there was only one bitcoin wallet program and these bitcoins were only worth less than a penny! I REMEMBER Them being worth under a penny and how he told me I needed 1000 of them to make $1 but that they would go up an up and up, he was so excited and totally involved obsessed with bitcoin and this was when I lived in this House for the school year of 2008 to 2009! So This WAS during the VERY beginning! I feel like I was part of history! .
I met Denis over the Shroomery or the Dextroverse IRC back in 2003, and Dennis invited me to an erowid like IRC chat with an amazing secret online community where we traded knowledge about psychedelics and traded information on programing Fractals Chaos theory thories of the Universe and everything but mostly lots of fractals! and Sinned also showed me my first encryption, sending me the documentation about CypherPunks OTR program (OffTheRecord) one of first encryption chats for the masses, remember the ORT plugin for AIM and remember those messaging programs like TRILLIAN? hah anyway i HOPE some of the same people from IRC come on steemit! Many of them are on a facebook group, as it was the only way we could all stay in touch when people stopped going to the IRC chat or when the server would not be online someone always had a server though!
And the chat might still be alive in some other form or name somewhere! It ended up gaining alot of people, it was like a really special cool place where about 40 core members would actually meet in real life, we even flew some members from one side of the world over to this one members house in north america and that was so cool! her dad kept coming in her room when we were all smoking weed an he had an Adobe T shirt on and worked for adobe and i could tell he was an old tech nerd who was so happy to see his daughter have all these real life friends from ALL over the world ALL because of the internet that he helped to create for her Its really a touching moment now that I think about, humans really did make something really cool and powerful for their own children by helping to build this amazing internet that we have! And were about to cure hunger then poverty, homelessness, then Depression! Anyway people from all over the world would meet in real life for that irc chat! Steemit reminds me alot of that!
One member M ended up being my real life friend because im from san diego (I was only at santa cruz 2005 to 2009 and he ended up being in San diego too in the chat so we hung out in real life so the chat room just became this real thing! Some users of the chat dream was to make money off something like bitcoin where they would never have to worry about money and I am pretty sure he is living the life off bitcoin now or maybe not who knows I am hoping some of these people read this and reform here on steemit! It would be a good fit!
Anyway Sinned was the one who invited me to the IRC chat when I was talking on the Shroomery and Dextroverse (Shroomery made famous by Ripper a kid who killed himself from an overdose live on a video webcam stream ) But yeah Sinned was a good guy though, he was a blackhat and whitehat hacker at times! he hacked for political reasons! he told me thathe adventure hacking the entire internet and shutting down every major website in 2001 was to show how he could stop something like 3 Billion DOllars worth of internet traffic and how he had a Botnet army waiting to take down the actual DNS servers an shut down EVERYTHING costing thee world hundreds of billions in the process, and he was ECSTATIC when talking about how HE just ONE PERSON from a laptop could destroy the entire internet costing the big multinational corporations hundreds of billions of dollars! He was a known computer criminal Denis Moran who had already served his time in jail or hack in 2001 and by the time i met him he had already been free for years. he is the one who hacked the whole internet in 2001
But he died of an overdose possible suicide in 2014 and he had thousands of bitcoins and was basically buying tons of drugs on darknet maybe? I think he was...had too much....he was depressed about the way the world being shitty and bitcoin used for greed, i can maybe find out his exact critiques if I ask people from the irc chat "#love", But all over the web and the old pre darkweb pre tor he was a big deal, he was hacker named "coolio" and I miss him and pray that he actually faked his own death.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Moran_(computer_criminal)
"Dennis M. Moran (1982–April 14, 2013), also known by his alias Coolio, was an American computer hacker from Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, who was accused in February 2000 of a series of denial-of-service attacks that shut down some of the most popular websites on the Internet. He was later arrested and pleaded guilty to defacing the websites of DARE and RSA Security, as well as unauthorized access of the U.S. Army and Air Force computer systems at four military bases."
oh yeah thats right he fuckiin hacked the DARE website he told me how Dares website was retardedly insecure and so were a ton of government and military websites
he had shut down ebay an amazon and tons of websites with a massive DDOS attack AND he was HOURS away from shutting down the ENTIRE internet by taking down the main DNS servers using his MASSIVE botnet army! he had the biggest botnet armies ever assembled back then!!!!!
I sometimes wonder if Sinned invented bitcoin
Seeing your name here 
He invited me to an IRC chat that I ended up being on for over a decade meeting many cool people that were inolved with early internet history, I am so happy I was invited to by the hacker coolio aka SInned or Dennis (Sinned backwards) And there was so many more cool people there! those IRC rooms were such a great resource! There are still many great IRC rooms out there
But i miss my friend sinned! he was so cool, an the fact that he went to jail for his hacking in 2001 and just worked on the jailhouse computer to make them more secure and efficient LOL they made him work on their computers as part of the punishment! LOL And he would just smuggle drugs in because he was only prisoner who could leave the jail for hsi special work!
anyway sinned had so many cool stories!

I am starting to think he faked his own death , or I wish he did since there is now a
and i wish he could be alive to see how amazing bitcoin has become!
I seriously wonder sometimes if HE created bitcoin! It would make so much sense because he was SO excited about bitcoin when it stared! he told me to get as MUCH of it as i could and the grin on his face it was as if he made it himself,
he was so into encryption and everything for him was game! he was such a weirdo LOL but he also was so funny and showed us reality is what we make of it! A master hacker should be like that!
Honestly he may have invented bitcoin, the way he talked about it in 20009 it felt like he did help create it and then couldn't tell anyone, it would be cool if that was the case! he was always talking about encryption and I dunno I hoped he faked his own death and that you were him!
here is his Hack Rank

"IRL Name:
Dennis M. Moran
Biography:
Dennis M. Moran, aka Coolio, is an American hacker who at 17, was accused of a series of smurf attacks that shut down some of the most popular sites on the web, and defaced the websites of DARE and RSA Security. While acknowledging the defacement of DARE and RSA, he flatly denied the DoS attacks on Yahoo, eBay, and others.
He was eventually arrested and plead guilty to the defacement charges, as well as unauthorized access of US Army and Air Force computer systems and was sentenced to 9 months in prison.
Mirrors of the defaced DARE and RSA sites can be found here. The DARE site is particularly amusing.
Facts
He was required to help program the jail's computers as part of his sentence
On April 14, 2013, Moran died of a heroin overdose.
Rumors: Was suicidal"
Thats a mini biography of him, to show you hat he accomplished,
Ok I am just going to publish this and go back later an edit it! I keep coming back to my steemit "submit a story" page and I see a story I didnt finish, i usually place it in text file but now I will just post and go back, edit but I had to post this for my friend Dennis who died in 2013 in his memory because he would have LOVED steem as he was a famous hacker etc who loved bitcoin and was involved in the very early days.
Anyway RIP Coolio! I hope your reading this and upvoting from the computer terminal in heaven, Your on God's blockchain now. God Speed Dennis! When Im bitcoin rich i will destroy some bitcoins in your honor
(EDIT: I somehow got an earier version of this because I used chainBB to post this but had an unfinished version on steemit i guess? I had a bunch of stuff about how I was born in September of 1987 during stock market crash and during a lightening storm! I cant find that and a bunch of other stuff like how This document can be a living memorial a living document where people who knew Dennis can comment or tell stories about their crazy and fun experiences with Coolio! This post was NOT to make money! I made that clear that it was a FLUKE Post and I didnt know it would be one of my highest earners! I want to do something Sinned would want with it! (And I have thus given out thousands of dollars in steem since i wrote this)
