These are really great points.
I fell victim to a scam mining website called Sierra hash that just closed a few days ago..!!!
I have vowed to stay away from mining stuff again.
I also use blockchain.info wallet and recommend to the news guys I bring here from Uganda..
I am always refreshing coinmarketcap website hehehe.
Sorry to hear about the mining incident. Personally, I've been reducing mining for a while now. Can't stand the noise and the suffering the machine is going through haha.
Coinmarketcap is always on during breakfast here :) well these days anyway.
I have 3 websites that have to be opened all the time...
