Are you serious? What about the pi that your miners made BEFORE you decided to go all gun-ho and make an alt-chain?

That would be zero, since at the time I put the pool up, as I said when I finished and came here to announce it, I found the blockchain totally stuck. As you can see at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=502448.msg5689065#msg5689065 I came back to the thread at 06:00, no block had been found for 30 minutes, and it was a further 50 minutes until another one was found. See http://cryptexplorer.com/chain/PiCoin?count=5&hi=783

As you can see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=502448.msg5689378#msg5689378 I posted my fork at 06:47 right as the main chain managed to get block 780 (http://cryptexplorer.com/block/368c4d78822f9465064dfab7142f5025116572522bc0ecf2c12077e73a112d95).

So a total of zero blocks was found in the time our pool was running the mainline wallet.

It was then nearly another hour until another block was found, time I spent trying to build a Windows wallet to help out. I guess I shouldn't have bothered if you're going to imply I'm some shady pool operator who steals his users coins - I have in fact paid several times out of my own pocket for disasters like failures and loss of funds to ensure users got fairly paid - don't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes - being a pool op isn't what people think it is - I dislike the shady ones just as much as you.

I put a big warning on the pool front page that it was on an alternate chain, and I posted repeatedly that this was the case so no-one would accidentally mine there without making a conscious choice to do so.

I'll repeat my offer again, and slightly rephrase it - I would happily escrow the wallet.dat I have with the OP if anyone wants to validate that there was nothing to pay out. I think that's the only fair way it could be done.
