The pool owner is a THIEF! He just robbed people off their earnings even if they didn't mine past 2 days.
He basically chopped a huge % off of total LTC's that people had.
YES, I understand that you were in hospital and all that but the users don't have to pay your hospital bills!
It was YOUR fault that you were not able to monitor the server, why are you making the users pay for something that is YOUR OWN FAULT?
Check yourself.
He is not a thief....he was double paying for 24 hours as I understand it. Adjusting the balance in accounts to correct this over-payment is the correct course of action as far as I am concerned. What, he should ask everyone to pay back the unearned coins on their own honor? somehow I doubt that would work too well.
I am the largest miner on the site, so its not like I do not have a vested interest here.
Think about this from Nicksasa'a perspective: Does it really make sense to "Steal" a small percentage of everyone's accounts, and completely obliterate his reputation and ruin his pool? It seems to me the earnings from running the largest LTC pool in the world outweigh the meaningless one time profit from such a theft.
Think on it, and take it easy with the accusations of theft. Perhaps some of the claw backs were not calculated correctly, but there is a way to deal with that without resorting to defaming someone.
