i havent tried the TG yet.

 Discord... if you wnat to bs   the default channel looks like Vergecurrency...

 for good discussions try to join the other rooms.
wallet
mining
even offtopic
ask questions in those rooms.

 Thanks g, I tried the Disc a while back and it wouldn't take my phone number as legit, so I blew it off.
I've just resigned myself to searching anywhere I can get a few tips, try them and then make adjustments.
Have had bad luck with mining and the nodes I've opened and let run for days have never netted me a coin 1.
So, I'm a bit jaded at this point and will wait to sell all my coins when I reach a benchmark. Then, I'm out.
