They have no information about their exact status of "low luck" and if the continuation of mining will be credited ever. I think that this makes dust more and more thicker even if only several customers are affected.
Im personally think that using untuned algorithms, procedures, functions in professional products is nonprofessional.
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way.
That said, we can mathematically prove the odds that the algorithm is correct, and we are very confident that the number of customers affected erroneously is extremely low. I would agree with your suggestion if it were likely that this would cause problems for a lot of normal customers, but that simply isn't the case.
Plus, I expect that it will only take one or two weeks, assuming that the low luck miners don't disappear within the next few hours before we start collecting identifying data on them, to collect enough data to determine exactly what the cause of the issue is. Unlike, say, a botnet that conducts DoS attacks against websites, one can't install viruses on unsuspecting victims' machines to do ASIC low luck mining. The miners know who they bought the defective products from, or they know who they are renting from, or they are willingly involved themselves in some sort of scheme. Whatever the case, all we will have to do is go down the list and someone will eventually talk.
Therefore, I see this algorithm as a sort of stopgap measure. Later today, we'll start collecting more data, which will allow us to disconnect/sue/arrest the miners and eventually disable the algorithm. There isn't a need to make a big deal about the algorithm because the real goal is simply to figure out what causes low luck miners and then take action against it.
