Would have been cheaper to pay them off. Huh

Give them the 10 BTC bounty so we can all go back to making money. Undecided

For once I am in 100% agreement with the Antpool folks, they made the right decision in not paying the extortionists.

It is sad but not paying is the right decision. Chances are they lost far more then the 10 BTC with paying employees to work on problem, and money lost from pool being down.

But if you pay once. Chances are they will come back again... and again. If anything paying will put a even bigger target on a pool.
