I'm just catching up on GNS from over a week ago. Posted the following on the old thread:

Kestrel71, you are an idiot! Suck on this you poor loser...

I am confirming that I received my 250,000 gns. Been on vacation for a while so when I checked in this evening, I was pleasantly surprised! As you can see, I used the same username at Pool.MN that I do here. I have used Pool.MN to mine other coins as well (currently RAIN). I recommend this pool to anyone looking for a no hassle experience.
