I heard about it over 3 years ago, but I didn't really inquire about it because I didn't really know how mining worked and I didn't put any effort to actually checked out what it was.
But I agree, sometimes a small thing you do now could pay fantastic dividends in the future
$10k for example is a serious dividends. The only problem is that one wouldn't have known it could pay off, and that's why we just have to trust something, I guess that's the risk we have to take.
What trust issues did you have with installing it on your new device?
Like all apps, wanted a number of rights cleared for them on my device, and I didn't think something in the testing phase should have gotten privileged access to any area of my phone. At least that's what I remember it was the problem.
Yeah, that was wine shady demands. I think for me, I didn't really see it like an app I wanted to use, so I didn't even bother to check and see if I wanted to mine or not.
