lulz the pool luck was well beyond bad in December ... for over 220 blocks ... way obvious that something was wrong back then

As for 'owing' ... well the company that caused it is known, but he hid that detail and no one here I bet even knew it before I posted that.

But ... he let them off scot-free to keep the other miner's BTC and hid their name ... or he didn't let them off scot-free and kept the BTC that was returned.
Which one? No idea. Doesn't matter which, both are inappropriate ...

I'm just trying to make sure I understand exactly what you are trying to say, so despite the fact that Genesis Mining (I'll take your word for it, yet again still waiting for the evidence) was ACTUALLY providing hashpower and expending electricity, and that hashpower was not producing blocks either due to a bad actor intentionally withholding blocks or ?improper setup? of their software.

In this scenario:

Genesis lost revenue (Not as much as they should have)
Slush lost revenue (Can't take 2% of blocks that aren't found)
Slush's miners lost revenue (On a user to user basis it is a minor amount of BTC, but not nothing)

Where exactly is this BTC that should be redistributed? Lacking irrefutable evidence that the entity in question was withholding on purpose, I would never expect a pool operator to go reassigning funds.
Intentional or accidental the only thing you can POSSIBLY divine from this is that pool mining still has room for improvement, and improvements have been made.

End Of Story.

As a pool operator you should fully realize that FUD and rumors are the most powerful tools in the community, I have yet to see any evidence come from anybody painting Slush as a bad actor. I've lost track of how many times I have left an open invitation for these facts to be set forth and I am constantly met with more FUD, and more conspiracy theories.

Frankly between users claiming to use Kano and you yourself perpetrating what, by all appearances, is a smear campaign against your competitor, you have only cemented my decision NOT to use Kano. While I would not hold a pool accountable to it's users actions, your presence here with no more verifiable information than the rest of them has shaken the respect I had for what I thought was a stand-up operation.
