While I agree with your thoughts here, I must argue that what is being interpreted as "amateurish behaviour" is actually just me not being on the computer every day

I always operated Cognitive with the utmost respect for all involved, and it was killed because of being scammed by hashfast and lied to by a datacenter I had set up arrangements with. It turned out to be a highly traumatic experience in my life... If anyone wants me to send them more details on the story feel free to get in touch.
Now I am trying to live life to the fullest -- e.g. not looking at a screen for the majority of the day!
