You wouldn't have lost any profits if the pool you admin was secure, not pointing fingers just stating facts. If the pool makes roughly .007 for example BTC per Mhs and you get for example 2% of that per Mhs on a site with 1000 mhs your making good money per day. Its pretty easy to see if you were not making a good profit you wouldn't do period, nobody works for free or for little to no profit no matter how good of person you make yourself out to be.
Secure? How secure is secure? What world are you living in? - some bubble world where everything goes according to plan all the time? Maybe you're too young to appreciate that the world isn't always going to be how you hope it will be? Maybe you're old enough to know better but just want to have a moan?
Whichever it is, you really need to chill out and stop pretending that you're the expert and that everything would have been fine if people had only listened to you - you're such an expert after the fact, aren't you?
Organisations get compromised all the time, even organisations that spend massive amounts on technology and security, so you need to take a reality check, climb out the basement for a minute and if you can't manage to take a walk, get some fresh air and clear your head, then just point your browser here:
http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/14/news/companies/jpmorgan-target-hack/Haha another butthurt fanboi. I never once said that or portrayed myself as an all knowing expert, you came to that conclusion yourself big guy.
I just stated the fact that the pool/site they run was attacked and as the admins that responsibility lies with them. Every business that has these issues that wants to remake themselves takes responsibility for what they run and follow through with what they claim.
I also never once said someone should have listened to me? Where did you read that as I am sure its a good read that I missed somewhere.
As a business owner myself I find I sort of insulting that this takes a back seat to life. If this was my site my family holiday plans would have been cancelled along with all of my other plans until I fixed my business that makes me money everyday it runs and has customers (miners). To me and many others responsibility doesn't end at a certain time of day or with certain days of the year.
Using your own words that you put so eloquently, once you grow up and move out of your mom's basement I'm sure you'll learn what responsibility means :-).
It's too bad things aren't going as you'd like them to go. So what do you do 'as a business owner? - you complain and moan and pretend that this wouldn't have happened on your watch. Really? That's simply hypothetical, isn't it? It's all very well to complain and claim that 'as a business owner' blah blah blah, cancelled holiday blah blah blah talking out your arse.
If you're that angry about it, go on, fuck off, take your miners and your self-righteous, know-it-all attitude and piss off. There's plenty of people here who are very happy with the pool and the pool operators given the circumstances of the hack - if you're not, take a hike and quit bitching like a little girl.

"as a business owner" - muahahahahahahaha, you fucking arsehole, imagine that giving credibility to your argument when you're squealing like a stuffed pig?
Maybe you think that things are going to change just because you jump up and down? Wake up to yourself, you're just a fucking arsehole.
You're the one that's butthurt, aren't you? Time for you to cry and moan a little more... life is so unjust... "as a business owner", hahahahaha!!!!!! What a lifenoob.
I couldn't have proved your ignorance or lack of responsibility any better than you showed the world here yourself haha.
Again all I stated were facts and what responsible business owners would do in this situation. Nearmiss and atriz have done a good job so far but are failing to follow through with many things that help put peoples mind at ease that they laid out weeks ago. I continue to keep an eye on this for the sake of seeing if they do follow through with what they said.
Watching you get this emotional over this does bring a smile to my face so thanks for that ;-). Keep being manic it really helps build your cause and gives me a chuckle every time I read yours and catswold's butthurt posts.
Edit: I love how people think a business that earns money is extra curricular, once you graduate high school you'll realize there is a difference.
