So?  Are we using the AgNO3 + Cu Process?

Or are we using other means?

Electrolysis?

Were doing both. The electrolysis is the last thing were gonna do. Bisjac calls it reverse electroplating.

That's another name for it, but I'd look into the most efficient and least costly means first - looking at electricity prices and electricity uses in gAg per yield.  Also, how much is Copper and Silver Nitrate?  I beleive electrolysis is less expensive.

I have a double headed misprinted quarter.

i pay quite a bit for new supply of nitric acid. so i can make my own silver nitrate. and i am careful what i dissolve so that i know i am always profiting or breaking even on the silver.
copper i melt from material and have my own free supply of.

the electro process dosnt cost me a thing otherwise.

i go through the multiple steps to assure i have pure silver, rather then guesswork on having somewhere between .900 to .999 purity

You'll never get a 100% pure yield, but in any case, I'd say get a real mold for it, so the carbon from the charred wood doesn't get into it.  If you want real money, try to find a way to get Gold from Arrous Nitrate.

Stock Market gogogogogo!

I am extremely interested in forging things and smelting things like you guys do I'm just not sure i can do it...
whenever i wanna do some creative thing like this i usually do it with my dad but to this he said no
i don't think i should smelt things by myself because i am extremely loving clumsy and i might spill molten aluminum on myself

Bisjac/ATkitton if i sent you guys various forms of one metal would you melt them down for me and make them into ingots then send them back?

I found that funnier than it should be

Made a silver blockhead!
Or, at least the head, considering you can't make things float in mid air... Or can you?

Afterall, Bisjac is indeed a silver wizard...

Bismith and SMTHkitton, I need a sword of purest silver to slay the ghosts that attack our town!

Why didn't you just pool them all together into one giant silver bar?

Make kitton a silver carrot for her birthday.
