Because where you spend eternity matters:
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
– John 14:5-7 (Holy Bible)

Jerokiah: Banned By Big Tech
For Being Too Early To Bitcoin
Jerokiah has built and operated several online affiliate utilities since 2008. Including the traffic exchange, Tunnel Rat Traffic; the ranking utility, Top-TE; and one of the earliest bitcoin faucets, Top-Bit.
An early adopter of bitcoin, Jerokiah ran the bitcoin faucet from 2015 to 2016. At which point he was banned for life from Coinbase. They claimed the reason was for micro-transactions. Also banned from Google AdSense for running their ads alongside bitcoin ads. Since then, Jerokiah has been looking for ways to fight big tech. Now, he’s developing systems that will benefit the little guy.
Current Roles & Software Projects
Founder/CEO -> Darr Services LLC
Sole Proprietor -> Tunnel Rat Treasures
Jerokiah is the Founder and CEO of Darr Services LLC, a registered business service company in Tennessee, USA. Also the sole proprietor of Tunnel Rat Treasures. Prior careers involved logistics, retail, marketing, towing, security, licensed private investigations, and served two combat tours in the US Army.
Current Project -> [redacted] #AISafety #EthicalAI
On the side, Jerokiah is has one very large-scale AI-related project that is unlikely to be credited or announced here. He also has two back-burner projects: Delegator Hub and the IOVara Protocol.
The name Jerokiah was conceived by combining Jeroboam and Hezekiah; both kings from The Bible. Embedded with a high aptitude for diplomacy and culture, serving others comes naturally.

Cryptocurrency & Saving
The Cryptocurrency industry has reshaped financial markets from early beginnings in 2009. Bitcoin still dominates as the original blockchain, decentralized currency, inspiring many networks and tokens in it’s successful wake. Years ago solo mining was feasible for early adopters, now there are other ways to acquire cryptocurrencies and compound interest. Staking tokens and earning via DeFi are profitable ways to earn passively for anyone. Make sure you have a cold wallet to store your cyptocurrencies with full control of your keys. Jerokiah uses recommends Trezor. Save 10% on your first Trezor wallet here.
Much like a high-yield savings account, staking has become a popular way to passively earn an income. Some blockchain algorithms are PoW (Proof of Work), like bitcoin, while others are PoS (Proof of Stake), like Ethereum. There are many algorithms, networks and thousands of coins or tokens. Anything other than bitcoin (BTC) is considered an Altcoin. One of the projects Jerokiah is working on is a bridge for delegators and validators. Unique, honest live metric reviews of validators to choose where you want to delegate, or stake, your tokens. Early development, for Cosmos Hub ATOM, is already compounding data every 15 minutes that other systems don’t have yet. This will enable Delegator Hub to offer comprehensive audits of validators with a unique dataset. Eventually expanding into other tokens like SOL and more.
Precious Metals, Coins & Collectibles
Jerokiah invests in sound money: silver and gold bullion, copper, coins, paper currency, junk silver, commemorative coins and other collectible memorabilia. Hobbies expanded to include the creation of custom 3D art files (.stl) from photos using HueForge and custom-built frames, potentially available to download and print; or purchase the prints for shipment.
Sound money has intrinsic value. Gold, silver and the Platinum Metal Group (platinum, palladium, rhodium…) are exactly that. The metal is inherently valuable. By contrast, FIAT currency, government notes like the USD and GBP, have very little to no intrinsic value as they are just paper/cotton; promissory notes. Though who doesn’t like a little free cash? One cent in America, pre-1982, has 95% copper content, or roughly 2.3 grams of copper, which is worth roughly 2 cents in copper alone! I also sell precious metals at Tunnelrat Treasures.
