The one they were mining at that time... And since this is taking so long problem is that a wallet from that time was compromised... I think it is about 230 BTC in total(not just me all the miners)... But it is so far back that I forgot... But it is somewhere in this thread...

Not sure what you're referring to as far as "a wallet from that time was compromised".  Eligius has never had any pool funds or wallets compromised.

I described in detail at the beginning of this year the disposition of funds held as a result of the block withholding attack, and they were distributed accordingly.  The withholding attack's effects were spread across thousands of miners, and thus very few ended up with any significant impact from it.  I spent a great deal of time going over all of the details as best as possible while sitting with legal counsel on this matter.  I forget the exact words used, but an analogy along the lines of "Going to an abandoned house and placing money in a dresser drawer" was made when I was going over the miner addresses that had been inactive both on Eligius and the blockchain for multiple years.  Further, as mentioned in the original post, the bulk of the shelved shares accumulated by miners during the withholding period were actually paid by subsequent pool luck from that time period.  The discovery of the block withholding attack was roughly three years ago at this point.  I personally funded legal counsel costs towards the end of last year in order to finally resolve the matter.  I consider this a completely closed matter at this point.

As of the most recent payout all blocks found by Eligius-Hu have been distributed to miners.  Eligius-Hu's offline wallet holds a bit over 1 BTC worth of miner funds as the sum of funds due to miners who have not yet reached the minimum payout amount (roughly 0.01 BTC).

When the pool finds its next block, I will process the payout accordingly.  I am still working on getting stats and automatic payouts back online, however the past several months have been exhausting (unrelated to Eligius) and I have not had the time required to complete everything needed.  My time is opening back up again, and I plan to move forward full force on completing these projects ASAP.
