Okay Josh the ceo of zen-gaw and I had a long talk via pm. He paid me 1.75btc .
0.75btc was to repay the money I spent to figure the nicehash issue out.
1.0btc was a finders fee for saving his company a possible huge financial setback if this was done after the large fri sha256 was done.
I wish I had been able to explain this easier and simpler and not cased the drama that has occurred.
But plain and simple If I had figured out Mt Gox 1 week sooner and saved that day I would have.
If I figured out BIPs in advance and saved 1000 lost coins I would have.
If I had been able to do this for trade fortress I would have.
I also think in each case I would have pissed off a lot of people. No matter had I did it.
I know that I pissed off people here was not my intent. I still have an S-3 mining in the zen cloud and it will earn less. I want to point out they stopped the problem and knowing them they will come up with a better idea.
I still feel like I walked up to them and said your left nut is bad it has to go. Or if you arer a girl your left ovary is bad time to cut it out. the pain today is real but in the long run you will survive.
To their credit they did give me a bounty and did not fluff off the problem. If they were MT Gox they would have run.
Josh thank you for being a stand up guy. Plus a man of your word.
I think that what you did was right and please stop worrying about the naysayers. I almost looks like you are starting every post on hashtalk with an apology
. It's not your fault that the system was messed up, it's not your fault that someone took advantage of it, it's not your fault your e-mail got caught up in spam filters and let's face it, a lot of people in your position would have kept it to themselves and enjoyed the few more days of extra gains
. I may not share your optimism about how GAW will handle this in the long run, but this doesn't change the fact that you did the right thing and it's great to have you in the forums.
+100 - go have a beer and pat yourself on the back for saving them, and by extension, us (well some of us?) a potential loss.
I commend Josh for the 1 btc he gave you, but personally, i probably would have given you a few more, considering the loss could have been huge without the exposure, but hey, take what you get i guess. I feel a bit better about them overall as well. thanks. Now the trolls will have their say.. :\
