And also please post if you were paid fairly up until the pool was hacked.
I don't think it matters. I didn't kill anybody for 50 years... will that help if I do it today?
You took a risk with a PPS pool- doesn't matter what happened - you owe them for the work.
And as far as I understand its not 1000's of dollars. So do the right thing and stop arguing
with them and pay them anyway you can.
