`
`
`
`1. My name is June Ann Munford. I am over the age of 18, have personal
`
`knowledge of the facts set forth herein, and am competent to testify to the
`
`same.
`
`2. I earned a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the
`
`University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2009. I have over ten years of
`
`experience in the library/information science field. Beginning in 2004, I
`
`have served in various positions in the public library sector including
`
`Assistant Librarian, Youth Services Librarian and Library Director. I have
`
`attached my Curriculum Vitae as Appendix CV.
`
`3. During my career in the library profession, I have been responsible for
`
`materials acquisition for multiple libraries. In that position, I have cataloged,
`
`purchased and processed incoming library works. That includes purchasing
`
`materials directly from vendors, recording publishing data from the material
`
`in question, creating detailed material records for library catalogs and
`
`physically preparing that material for circulation. In addition to my
`
`experience in acquisitions, I was also responsible for analyzing large
`
`collections of library materials, tailoring library records for optimal catalog
`
`2
`
`
`
`search performance and creating lending agreements between libraries
`
`during my time as a Library Director.
`
`4. I am fully familiar with the catalog record creation process in the library
`
`sector. In preparing a material for public availability, a library catalog record
`
`describing that material would be created. These records are typically
`
`written in Machine Readable Catalog (herein referred to as “MARC”) code
`
`and contain information such as a physical description of the material,
`
`metadata from the material’s publisher, and date of library acquisition. In
`
`particular, the 008 field of the MARC record is reserved for denoting the
`
`date of creation of the library record itself. As this typically occurs during
`
`the process of preparing materials for public access, it is my experience that
`
`an item’s MARC record indicates the date of an item’s public availability.
`
`5. Typically, in creating a MARC record, a librarian would gather various bits
`
`of metadata such as book title, publisher and subject headings among others
`
`and assign each value to a relevant numerical field. For example, a book’s
`
`physical description is tracked in field 300 while title/attribution is tracked in
`
`field 245. The 008 field of the MARC record is reserved for denoting the
`
`creation of the library record itself. As this is the only date reflecting the
`
`inclusion of said materials within the library’s collection, it is my experience
`
`3
`
`
`
`that an item’s 008 field accurately indicates the date of an item’s public
`
`availability.
`
`6. I am familiar with the Internet Archive, a digital library formally certified by
`
`the State of California as a public library. Among other services that the
`
`Internet Archive makes available to the general public is the Wayback
`
`Machine, an online archive. The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine
`
`service archives webpages as of a certain capture date to track changes in the
`
`web over time. The Internet Archive has been in operation as a nonprofit
`
`library since 1996 and has hosted the Wayback Machine service since its
`
`inception in 2001. During my time as a librarian, I frequently used the
`
`Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine for research and instruction purposes.
`
`This includes teaching instructional classes on using the Wayback Machine
`
`to library patrons and using the Wayback Machine to research reference
`
`inquiries that require hard-to-find online resources. I consider the Internet
`
`Archive’s recordskeeping to be as rigorous and detailed as other formal
`
`library recordskeeping practices such as MARC records, OCLC records and
`
`Dublin Core.
`
`7. I have reviewed Exhibit CRUSOE-1006, which contains a webpage entitled
`
`“Launch your own Bitcoin Data Center” as hosted on Cryptokube.com.

`
`Servers
`To ensure maximum stability and return on investment,
`the CryptoKube can be filled with Spondoolies-Tech SP35
`servers. These servers are the best in class, and proven
`in large scale industrial mining operations. The
`Spondoolies-Tech servers are at the leading edge of the
`industry
`Security
`The CryptoKube ships with a best of class internet
`firewall, preconfigured to protect your investment in
`server hardware and keep them running 24 hours a day.
`The CryptoKube is built inside an ISO shipping container
`and secured with steel security doors. The choice of a
`shipping container was primarily due to its reputation for
`physical security. The optional security cameras and card
`access control further increase your security posture
`and peace of mind.
`Low Cost Operation
`The CryptoKube was designed from the ground up to
`consider the cost of operations. Power and cooling are
`the largest operating costs when running a Bitcoin
`mining operation. The selection of fresh air cooling
`means thatthere are no condensers, chillers or power
`hungry cooling systems to keep the servers running
`within their operating parameters. Fresh air cooling
`makes use of fans, much like a server does, to move
`large volumes of air through the data center to cool the
`servers and remove the hot air exhaust. The cooler the
`weather, the faster the ASIC chips in the servers will run.
`The CryptoKube can run inside a large warehouse,
`outside in a parking lot or in a server pod farm where the
`power is cheapest.
