You make good points, but you come off as a douche.
I think you should read the entire thread so that you can discover for yourself what kind of person the developer is.
If you had done this earlier, you might not have wasted your precious time mining on a pool that was known to have issues at the time.
With all the shenanigans going on in crypto the last thing I care about is coming off as a douche. I have been following this coins since it launched so I have read every post. I was mining when the block reward was 5 coins per block. I had used the pool in the past without any issues so when it came back up I mistakenly assumed that it was in working order. That's my fault for not checking periodically to see if I was actually receiving any coins. I monitored the pool but neglected to open the wallet to see if I was actually getting payments.
Regardless, I am solo mining now so the pool isn't an issue for me.
I think one of the problems with crypto is that people are too trusting. You don't know me and I don't know you. There is financial incentive for people to game the system and it happens all the time. I'm not saying that is happening with this coin but there was enough odd happenings to trigger an alarm and voice my concerns. Maybe I should have sent the dev a PM. I didn't. I will in the future is I have any concerns. Other than that there isn't any need to dwell on this any further.
Happy mining
