Hi, why aren't all pools implementing real accounts (payout AND payin) so that they can act like banks with mobile clients that use QR code scanning and transfer money with a click on your smartphone?
Most pool owners would prefer you get your coins off their servers rather than hold them for you. You see probably once a month or more some pool/exchange getting "hacked" and losing coins. While I don't believe any major pools (Slush, Deepbit, BTCGuild, Eligius, ArsBitcoin, EMC) has had ever had their wallet hacked [which is why I still suspect most/all of the "hacked" pools are just thieves], that doesn't mean it can't happen. Being a major pool comes with the expectation that if something goes wrong, the pool op will fix it out of their own pocket.
mm yer, or they havent dislosed they have been comprominsed.... It is easy to suspect with no investagation or knowledge....like [which is why I still suspect most/all of the major pools have at some time been hacked]
-see what i did there? - there is enough fud thrown round the forums, poolops should set an example not make it worse...
When Ozcoin was hacked recently I was prepared to cover any losses, but due to some good people in the community we were helped through this.
Random accusations are random, lets try to keep it to facts )
