I'm sorry you feel that I somehow violated your privacy MVitaliyB, but the fact is you intentionally stole nearly 100 BTC from the pool. You pressed the cashout button over 100 times for the ~ 7 hours the bug was active. You knew it was a bug and you repeatedly exploited it to gain as many BTC as you could. In fact, you also created two additional accounts, on top of the two you already had to try and gain more BTC. Thankfully you were unable to steal any more BTC with your two newly created accounts since the bug only affected unconfirmed BTC on unvalidated blocks, and your two new dummy accounts were unable to generate any/enough unconfirmed BTC for your to acquire illicitly.
For those interested as to what this person is talking about:
Last weekend, EMC suffered a bug that increased users unconfirmed BTC. The only way to acquire this BTC was to intentionally use a feature called "Cashout" that pays the user for unconfirmed BTC and their unrealized DGM score. Before I was notified of the bug, the pool wallet was drained of nearly 1200 BTC... this particular user was able to get a hold of ~100 BTC of it through exploiting the cashout button, which he knew at the time was erroneous, so he intentionally stole the funds and knew he was stealing the funds at the time.
When I contacted him (Vitaliy Maxorin) about returning the funds, he responded with this:
Good day!
I myself am a programmer and I know for myself that for financial losses incurred due to errors in the source code the programmers are paid out of his pocket. I myself have several times carried a financial loss because of their mistakes. But no I will not reimburse my losses. I understand your request as a man, but I think it is not appropriate as a colleague. Excuse me, but I do not return the money you lost.
So not only did he know about the bug and knew he was exploiting it, he even basically gloats about it. Somehow it's not "appropriate" that I ask him to return funds he stole. I don't follow the logic, but logic of thieves is rarely coherent, so I haven't really given it much thought.
The claim that "I specially didn't do anything" is completely false, as you had to use the cashout button, and you did so over 100 times, which indicates you clearly knew something was wrong. Due to this fact, I don't see that you deserve any measure of privacy when it comes to financial/BTC matters, and in fact, everyone should know that you, Vitaliy Maxorin (
