The thinig I am confused about is why didn't Suzuha (or John Titor) tell Okabe what exactly he must do to jump to the Beta AF (to delete the first D-mail). Instead, she let him send those three messages: by Moeka, Ruka and Farris, which ruined the whole thing and led to the loss of IBN5100. And if she had warned him about it before, the problem would've been solved at ep. 5. So why didn't she warn him?

And yes her mission is to go back in 1975 get an IBN and give it to Okabe in 2010, but she must go in 1975, remember Suzuha ask where Okabe find the IBN, it's for gathering information of where she must drop the IBN when she goes back in 1975. I think that her mission is not just to make sure Okabe gets that useless computer. Besides collecting info and passing the IBN, she also has to provide Okabe with the instruction how to reach the Beta (without it, IBN is useless). But when was supposed to be the part where she reveals herself as a time traveller? Was she supposed to guide Okabe by the time she would be 50 years old, or, again, by the time she saw him carrying the IBN to the lab?

Hm. by the way.

Imagine you are a soldier living in dystopical times in 2036 and you've been giving a mission to go straight to 1975 and find a retro computer. You've been warned that you will have to spend your entire life in 70s. But you disobeyed and decided to spend a couple of weeks in 2010, and then start your mission. And what do you see? A guy just brought the computer to his lab, the computer you had to give your life away for. Success?

Apparently you are in a timeloop, some version of you already wasted his life and let the guy find the computer, but still it wasn't you exactly. But that's none of your business, all you have to do now is to tell the guy to hack CERN and delete the first D-mail. And then you win. But this doesn't happen.
