This page is filled with people posting without reading the fucking thread first. Yes, he sent an email to the miner. Yes, he got a response. Now read the thread before posting the same shit over and over.
EDIT
Yes i sent the email to the miner. NO i have not received a response of any kind. This was last night before bed. And still nothing.
And FYI the word TROLL is getting very old, if you do not like people posting on forums then go play in the dirt
SOB's
And thank you for those who 'get it'
I am really sorry this happened to you. We all make a few mistakes when we are new to bit coin. These lessons get expensive for sure but we tend to not make the same ones twice.
