Yeah, that's all this is, scrutiny.  As I said, I'm not accusing him of anything, and my paranoia about alt accounts and clever scams is probably as bad as its ever been.

I have a few merits to give out, but the posts OP quoted are all out of my area--just like everything else in crypto--and that's why I didn't merit any of them.  I don't know anything about mining and therefore can't judge whether the posts are very helpful.  I'll take OP at his word that they were for him, but to me they're just a lot of technical jargon.

Haven't seen a lot of good posts lately worth meriting, but I'm going to keep looking.
