Some results from mining with 6x1080ti rig; looking around 20-30USD a day; about average on what that rig can pull on other coins.  Diff was adjusted almost instantly; so there was 0 benefit in getting in on day 1.  Just lots of aggravation and issues; cost of being early.

Confirmed payouts coming from gpool.guru at this point; haven't tried any other pools yet.

Was around for testnet and release day; it was rocky at best.  There was a split in chain; caused basically 1-2 days of outages; some pools kind of paying and most of them not.  Lots of drama and people freaking out; understandable if you are pushing massive hashing power as there is a cost issue there. 

Wallet and getting a local node up is bit nightmarish; most of us are using coinomi or some other web wallet for now until the dust settles.  Inherent issue with the 160+gb blockchain from btc, along with issues mentioned earlier; after my 3rd download failed; gave up for this week.

If the team had just come in front of the issues and communicated / set expectations; would of paved the road and made less people angry.  too much silence followed by streams of FUD.  People drawing there own conclusions and attacking the poor pool owners. 

Then the scam websites were popping everywhere; as always; personally I would never paste private key into a webform; but eh.  Each there own. 

Overall i want to believe in the project; going give it 30 days before calling; skeptically remaining positive at this point.
