Seems like a bad day (technology wise). Why do you consider Bitcoin gold to be a scam? Maybe go back to bitcoin cash. There is so much alt coins that its hard to keep up with all of them.
Venting is fine. It gives a sense of relief. Good luck on finding those tabs that you accumulated for a year. Hope you find them all.
Have a great day! Just smile and find the good things about life and let the stress go away. :D
First, the "official pool" was flaky and many in forums were saying they were taking the hash power going to the pool and using it to mine other coins. Second, because of the pre-mine.
Thanks, sorry for late response, enjoy!
