Hi, The entire idea and goal of bitcoin was to take away the financial institutions from having "control" and charging fees to handle money. In exchange for no fees (sending or receiving BTC is free), you also have no security. Once it's sent, it's gone. However, now the banks have just

Well, I've done this on the CCR and the RB1100. In both cases, the chassis is not directly grounded by the AC cord anyway. Inside the case is just a switching power supply brick. I never checked whether DC was grounded beforehand (I probably should have), but I have not added any ground
