I'd like to see the BTC 200 from Eligius and 300 from Blockwitholder put in escrow and a trusted 3rd party audit carried out.
I'd rather this was done than some witch hunt / trial by media.
Agreed! I was just about to move my TH's to Eligius, but seeing this information has me a bit worried about doing so.
So you would prefer to have a pool owner that does not protect the pool?
You trust the pool owner to control the BTC 99% of the time but do not in this case? Either you trust the pool owner or not. ABSOLUTELY NO need for escrow in this situation.
