I am not sure we were being scammed intentionally - I just think that the pool was not set up right - causing alot of our hashing rate to be wasted.

Still - having a decent payout finally makes me positive about Animecoin again, and I will continue to mine for the foreseeable future.

I am into the Japanese culture myself (though it's Idol culture for me) and I have a lot of friends who are also into Anime and similar, some of them are fan artists - and I may start tipping them in Animecoin for their art they do, as a way of spreading the love (and expanding the idea)
