Not at all angry. Attempted to make that clear on my last post.

My point here is that some very smart people here are making unproven claims. It is healthy to question those claims that others here are hoping to profit from.

If you truly do have a skill that has given you a competitive advantage, by all means keep it to yourself, you've earned it.

I'm not buying it. You just lack introspection.

You don't talk like an investor. Investors are (generally) friendly or even overly friendly. Their suspiciousness is on the inquisitive side.

Your suspiciousness is on the paranoid side. And it shows like a "tell" in poker.

Read the past posts of the user senseless, he apparently wasted some considerable money doing a small world tour trying to solicit business, unsuccessfully. I bet that he now has some useful knowledge on how to distinguish gamblers from investors.

In my experience for the casino gamblers the road to recovery may be through learning how to really compute their odds.

For the cryptocurrency mining addicts the road to recovery may be through actually investing $99 in an FPGA training kit like Digilent Arty 7 and actually losing their logic design virginity.

Edit:

In order to effectively play a white knight here you actually need to show some knowledge, otherwise you just look funny.

Ok, you have me misunderstood again. I appear to have led you to believe that I'm presenting myself as a white knight, gambler and/or investor. I am not claiming to be any of those things. I am a mining hobbyist. I do not have a significant investment in it and I do ok from my day job in an entirely different field.

Thank you for the tip on the $99 fpga training kit. I was considering something like this myself and this is actually very useful. Can you recommend any sources of information on how mining can be achieved on an fpga?
