No one is talking about anyone demanding a refund, but whether it would be a moral thing to do from the recipient's perspective.
It would of course be the right thing to do from the sender's perspective. But is it the right thing to do from the individual miners' perspective? They have honestly mined a valid transaction, and now their pool operator is denying them the profits? Should it really be up to the pool operator at all? Should each individual miner not get to decide what to do with their share of the excess fee which they earned honestly?
you really dont know bitcoin do you
miners dont mine transactions
miners just hash a hash of a block
its the pool operator that manages everything. so yes they as managers decide everything
miners have no control over what transactions go into a block nor what level of fee transactions have.. pools decide all that and pools decide what pay out strategy to offer and what is deemed a valid hash, share the workers present..
its like employment
workers get paid a wage, it doesnt matter what the manager decides the product is worth when it presents the end product to a consumer.
