accounts are still messed up ~36 hours later. I wish 50BTC.com member would post something about this. anything at all? please? worst thing is the pool hash rate is plummeting due to this... and no posts / response from the pool owner(s)??
E is right on, He went through the exact same thing with btcguild. and was totally transparent throughout the process. he took the hit and the pool (miners) stayed productive through out. Of course, we do not know the extent of the damage to 50BTC.com; maybe it is a catastrophic loss and they cannot recover. nothing to compare because we do not know how great the loss was.
Also, I cannot imagine that they did not have any kind of reserve or small hotwallet balance to prevent a major withdrawal of invalid amounts like this. That just makes no sense. and to not respond at all or post any updates about it to reassure the members? even if they just post that they had lost their reserve before they could stop the processes?
