I believe it was Hardfork 17 or 18 that screwed up the rewards pool for awhile and drove people away. I remember seeing one of my posts go down to a few cents after I had been making a killing on rewards all through January and February. It took a few weeks before the rewards pool "refilled" itself and payouts were corrected. I've been here coming up on a year and I have been riding the ups and downs. I've seen the doom and gloom days and the glory days. I've learned to stick with it, no matter what.
