Hello !
No conspiracy here. I said I setup them myself, did I say it was IRL ? No. Thanks to Internet and a browser, setuping a miner consist at giving it a pool, and a BTC address.
Easy task, think of it with 30 miners and no way to batch it

You have bad experiences ? Sorry to hear that but mine was near perfect, till the 1st contact, fund transfer and getting miners online. The truth is that I do not even check my stats daily anymore.
