rather than give part of the company away and raise funds let's just take the money we have to give to the customers and restart the service. They lost their money I am not sure why they keep saying it's our bitcoins they lost.

I get your point but It is technically our BTC they lost. Nicehash is under a moral and possibly legal obligation
to make it up to customers but those coins are gone. The legal ambiguity depends on whether they have a
disclaimer and whether it is enforceable in a court of law in the jurisdiction in which they operate.

It is also very unfortunate Nicehash had raised their minimum payout. That combined with the large increase in
BTC price means they were holding a lot more value at any given time making for a bigger target ragardless of
the timing.
