Why are you interested in joining this server?: 
I started playing Minecraft when it was in alpha around 2009/2010. When I got into redstone, I started being interested in computer logic. I also learned binary that way. I learned a lot and it was all good... only problem is, I have close to 0 friends who're interested in redstone, and I grew tired of always building alone and also didn't have anyone to ask if I had problems. I've built a 4-bit adder with input encoder and output decoder to a 7-seg, but I wanted to make a bigger adder, and to decode that I needed double dabble. I understood the algorithm perfectly, but I couldn't figure out how to build it in Minecraft. After many painstaking hours, bad YouTube tutorials and brain wrecks, I thought my last chance was to ask for help on a redstone server. So I found this, and I was instantly greeted by nice people. Flandyn spent hours upon hours trying to explain the double dabble to my mushroom of a brain! I really appreciate that, and I think your server is a great place to share redstoning. Good community indeed. TL;DR: I wanna join your server because I love fiddling with redstone, and I would love to be able to do that in a good environment with others who share the same interest, and can help out when my brain short circuits.
Current Redstone knowledge: 
I fully understand binary. I can build 2-wide full adders, normal 4-bit decoders and I'm currently building the double dabble algorithm on your server in the visitor area. I understand all the gates, NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR. I do write some code in my sparetime, and I created a logic simulator. I have a YouTube video of it here, where I build a fully working 4-bit adder with decoder and a 7-segment display. I talk danish, so just mute and watch the timelapse @5:15. Honestly though, I haven't played Minecraft or touched redstone for a good while, so I'm about to get back up on my feet!
Past Redstone Experience: 
4-Bit Adder (2 XOR, 2 AND, 1 OR per adder) - 4-bit binary to decimal decoder (long lines of AND gates, you know) - 7-segment wiring Invented my own T-Flip flop circuit - 2 RS NOR Latches - 2 AND Gates Button combination locks - RS NOR Latches - NOT Gates
Anything else you'd like to mention? (Optional): 
I just watched Flandyn's double dabble tutorial and I didn't understand it. If only I could talk to him, I thought. When I joined this server, I had no idea Flandyn was admin, and I was rather surprised when he greeted me. It was like the perfect coincidence. Magic happened that day, guys. Turned out he was norwegian also, so we could talk danish together. - This is a bit awkward if Flandyn is the one reading this, but still! :D Oh, and I could really use that world edit sorcery! There are a lot of repetitiveness when building a double dabble algorithm, and I keep bothering the other //wand wizards, although they're very helpful! Thanks, pr0te / prote1n
