Yes if they did it at a low enough level level the odds of getting caught are slim.
So if you had a 5 PH pool (5,000 TH) and scraped off 1/2 of 1% you would have 25TH to do with what you wanted to. At the current price of BTC that would get you about $20,000 US a year.
I would say most miners don't actually monitor that closely to ever see that small an amount being taken. And most don't know how to monitor the connection to the pool to actually see what is happening. They plug in their miners, point to a pool and hope for the best.
I interrupt this cut throat auction for a late breaking update....
I have on order , soon to be delivered , An invisible ink UV printer and a hot foil stamp machine..... PaperSafe will be too much to handle....look for these features in the production run of 100... soon to be launched....
I return you to your normal cut throat auction....
I think the artwork is spectacular! I'm not quite sure how to place a value on these right now except as indivually numbered and signed bitcoin artwork which is subjective. BG4 has done a great job with them and they are unlike any other wallet design I have seen before.
