Received my initial investment. Thank you. If you post an addy, I'll send a tip for your troubles. Thanks again for your honesty and integrity.

Thanks gents. Thank you all for trusting me with your DRK. I may revisit this in the future if I'm convinced that I won't see weird issues if I were to jump back in. I still feel awful that I can't seem to get the funds back from Node 1 and 3. Perhaps if only one node was fatally problematic I'd tough it out and hope they become profitable and that code and network would improve over time, but to have two nodes go down permanently for different reasons was too much and the results have been weighing heavily on my mind although I can't think of anything I couldn't have done differently at the time, since the setup processes for RC2 and RC3 nodes are the same steps we all have to take to set them up. C'est la vie.

It's been an interesting experiment/project and I wish I hadn't seen these problems. I would've been willing to operate them at a loss for months if necessary but all the troubleshooting, rebuilds, and transferring of funds to other local wallets I had to do to get just a handful of nodes back up and running over and over again were a PITA that a user shouldn't have to go through just to get a node working again. Anyway, enough of that. Just a bit of post mortem analysis and another major contributing factor to end this community service.
