That's some third rate cheap home-brewed sarcasm, has it worked with anybody till now?
Sometimes it did; sometimes it didn't. However, it was no sarcasm in that sentence of mine. Some people reading the topic don't know how NH work, how they make money; some don't even know that you don't mine with NH, but instead
you rent your hash power (such as
the case of BlackHatCoiner, which thanked me for explaining to him how NH actually works). So it wasn't the case to jump to such conclusions.
How the hell can they pay me back from my pocket when nobody is forcing me to keep working with them? [...] If I stop doing business with them, selling or buying how can they take money from my pocket to pay me back?
The answer is simple and a part of it was already
explained above by DafeF: if you stop working with them, you don't receive anything back from the repayment program, if your stolen funds do not meet the minimum paying threshold. If your stolen funds meet the minimum threshold but if you don't rent your hash power anymore, you would have to wait since the beginning of the repayment program with no payment until their monthly repayments of 1% would reach in your account an amount bigger or equal with the minimum threshold (that is 0.001 BTC). Example: someone who had 0.0015 BTC stolen received from NH 1% back per month (excepting the first months of the repayment program, when that percentage was a bit bigger). 1% of 0.0015 represent 15,000 sats. You would have to wait many months, in order to see your money back, because each month they added 15,000 sats to your account. You would have seen the money back (a first part of the money, not all of them) after 7 months, when you would have 105,000 sats in your balance.
And they paid until the total repayment reached 82%, yes? OK, based on the same example of 0.0015 BTC, let's suppose that you got paid already 0.00123 BTC, representing 82%. That means you have to collect 0.00027 BTC more. In order to receive those remaining funds, you have to rent your hash power again, in order to reach a minimum threshold of 0.001. But by renting your hash power again it means to work with NH again. And working with NH again means to pay yourself back (in part) from your own money, as NH cuts your payment rate in order to not pay you from its profits.
Indeed, if you never worked with NH after the hack, they didn't pay
you anything from your own pocket. But they did it with all the other miners which kept working with them. If you are a particular exception, that doesn't make that the truth changes for all the others with kept working with NH and were paid back practically from their own pockets.
OK, you weren't cheated, let's say. So what? If other 50,000 individuals are cheated, but 1 is not, what's that suppose to mean? That NH is honest? Lol.
Seriously, how about rather than focusing on making this a Dumas (the father) novel that goes nowhere for 200 pages focus on one point

is expressing my sarcasm now.
