It cracks me up to no end when people rent mining gear to mine a coin. To me that's sort of like getting a personal loan to buy penny stocks...

And what did you expect? Mining a brand new coin at launch is a high-risk activity. No risk = no reward; what did you think it was, a guaranteed fortune? I'm sick of all these people bitching about how they invested money into something extremely risky and it didn't work out the way they expected so now they expect someone else to absorb their costs. Why don't you just stick to playing the lotto...
