I'd anticipate a number of improvements in the site over time but it's worth pointing out to some of the new miners in the pool that the site was attacked a month ago and in the hack, all miners coin balances were stolen and the user database fully compromised.

Actually, most of the miners' funds were not stolen. Mine were not. Most of the payout addresses were changed, but the owners disabled everything before the majority of the users lost their funds. Also, I don't think there's any evidence the user database was fully compromised. Depends on how they stored the passwords, etc.

Your selective quote missed the point of my post. It wasn't to inform people like you who purport to know it all, even when you qualify and dilute your supposed claims to actuality at the end of your post. If you read what I said, it was merely a polite notice to inform new miners that the pool isn't operating at normal capacity and that a rebuild is in progress. As you didn't have any coins stolen, you're no doubt less appreciative of the efforts of the pool operators and their response to the hack to provide some level of restitution after the theft.

Speaking as one who did have their coins stolen and their payout address changed, I emphasised the honourable approach taken. Your post was pointless and didn't provide any real information, you tried to down-play the hack and theft when you weren't effected and tried to big note yourself when in actual fact you've no more information to add other than than the selfish remark that your coins weren't stolen - let me assure you that as a person who was effected, I am grateful for the actions the pool operators took.

[If the above is tl;dr, the short response is fuck off you arsehole, there was a hack, funds were stolen, not all coins have been restored and a rebuild is in progress, get over yourself.]

Dude, chill, seriously! If your main point was to congratulate the owners on their honorable approach, then do it, by all means. Read back in the thread some dozens of pages. I was very appreciative of the way they handled the theft, despite the fact that I didn't have any coins stolen. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293872.msg4212152#msg4212152

Say what's true. Stick to what you know. Parts of your post were not true, so I corrected them. Where did I purport to know it all? In case you missed my point, you saying that all coins were stolen and the database fully compromised made the owners look like incompetent morons. I emphasized the speed of their response to the situation. Despite your lack of civility and extremely short fuse, we're on the same team.
