If Eligius is withholding payment to this user (and rightfully so), will he redistribute those 200 BTC to the other members?

And what about here on BTC Guild?

I noticed luck has gone back up. So was it really bad luck before, or was it an attack?

Wizkid stated in the Eligius thread that he plans on paying the "shelved" shares from the time period of the withholding attack with the 225 BTC that was held from being distributed.

But how will be be determined who gets what ?

I've been mining BTCGuild for some time now and was quite active during the "attack".

That's what wizkid is doing on Eligius, if you mined there, you'd get paid for the shares that were shelved during that time frame until wizkid has paid out 225 BTC worth of shares. Obiviously that doesn't apply here as this is BTC Guild. Not sure what, if anything, eleuthria plans or can do? I know someone said they wouldn't call it theft, but I don't know what else you would call it. The miner got paid for shares that were worthless because their hardware/software had an error that prevented them from submitting solved blocks. So they got paid, but could never actually contribute since there was a bug preventing it. Intentionally or unintentionally, it's still theft. It's kinda like shopping and putting something on the bottom of the shopping cart, but forgetting to pay for it on the way out. If you don't return the item or pay for it when you notice, it's still theft.

since eleuthria continues to ignore direct questions regarding this group making restitution for the their admitted 'theft', it seems he is taking the position of just letting it go plus inviting them back. i guess there is a first time for everything - i agree with the actions of luke-jr in the case of dealing with this mining group.
