When it first happened slush said that he had the database up and running and was going to figure out everyone's share. He said that he was going to give a bonus to those who stuck with him through this. (I think he said that) a long time ago and I dont have the time to back track the thread.
Learn how to use the fourm: simply click on Slush's nick and look at his most recent posts - takes moments to find..:
Pool just found new block. Because database isn't running and shares are not stored, I'll spread blocks mined during database outage to miners who'll continue mining on the pool since the database will be up again.
He never said anything about bonus - what he said was he would distribute the blocks to those who continue mining on the pool when the db comes back up.
Spewing stupid mis-information, especially when you know that you don't know... is not going to make you any friends!
