Well, I can tell you that it is quite hard to get research peer reviewed and published in an academic journal. One of my goals a couple of years ago was to get the academic world to take crypto seriously and get something published.
Looking at the investments people make without really looking into the risk, makes it clear that a lot of people assume it is easy money. I don't like to assume too much and study the data.
don't get "us" wrong, i mean we as miners do not need any published paper to know about something the we already have personal experience with, it's like going to a group of doctors to tell him something basic like how important vitamin D is
make no mistake, i have read the paper and honestly that's an amazing job you did right there,to anyone who is not an experienced miner ( or a doctor in my example) will differently find these info very valuable. your effort are highly appropriated.
