I guess he must be known in the Chinese community
Good work! I haven't even heard of them until now. I can't believe I missed this last year. So apparently they never actually shipped anything under the name SmartMiner?

As far as Im concerned, the attacker owes Eligius miners all of the BTC they obtained falsely during their withholding attack, a total of 429.19371155 BTC (not including the ~200 BTC they are demanding).
Plus one.
