Well - Bitcoin for me personally was not just about getting more money than I spent on it it is more about the principal for me - a censorship resistant means to financial sovereignty, which is more important than maximum profitability. With regard to Smart Mining on ViaBTC - it is NOT merged mining, it allows you to use auto profit switching where the poll will stop mining one and start mining the other if one of them spikes in value / mining difficulty, rendering it substantially more or less profitable than the other. NMC / SYS is legitimate merged mining where youre accumulating all of the above at the same time.

Agreed. I am a second generation Bitcoin miner. My father was one of the first people to mine Bitcoin. My reasons are very close to my heart. Funny story but one of my most treasured memories of my father was. He would wear pink noise canceling headphones while in his workshop. Once he noticed the headphone made me laugh . He would dance around all silly to the roar of Bitcoin miners. In his workshop he had walls of GPUs I was speaking more from a miners point of view. Most would like to see their hashpower actually ROI.

Update:

We are trying to put together a block run for shhpool. Anyone with experience in organizing block runs please DM me here or in Discord. If you help in organizing the run. I will give you my 3% OP fee from each block that is solved during the run. My only goal is to get as many blocks signed and get shhpool miners paid.
