Good article to highlight.

I don't mind the length that much. I agree you should not be rushing to fit the story in 12 minutes, buy I don't have the idea you were doing that.

And about the monero mining; don't forget hackers will not be paying for electricity, but you will be.

Good feedback thank you.

isnt it an old news?

Not to someone who hasn't heard about it :)
