Title: Hash mining got hacked? What should they do.
Post by: TaKlarPH on December 14, 2017, 04:50:54 PM
I got a news this past few days and maybe this was weeks ago, but I got ask this

•Are you miner?
•Well you continue mining? Even it got hacked and the return of outcome investment is too low/less than what you got from mining?

Im not exactly sure if I understand the question correctly, but the difficulty rising has always been a thing - Just because now it is more prominent doesn't mean that it is anything more or less significant.

I dont know that this really means that miners got "hacked"
But if you are referring to Nicehash, you may want to read more on their business model, as it was simply a marketplace to sell hash instead of mining

Honestly i'm not using nicehash, I was mining ethereum but i am using claymore script dual mining if you are referring to nicehash comparing to mine real coins not auto convert or autotune like nicehash honestly is not paying high compare mining altcoin and wait for the price high before you sell them.

If you wanted to get more answer about your question i think much better to move this thread in altcoin mining section.

I was wondering if it's really more profitable to join just mining on nicehash like or pool? idk if there's a difference.. I'm still learning mining since I'm planning to build one.

It doesn't make sense to me that a hash function was broken into!

They should reimburse their users with their proceeds for the next couple of months. Just like BTC-e is doing with WEX.nz and tokens. It would be the right thing to do and once people are paid in full most people will have forgotten this incident.

I am still mining and was using Nicehash when everything was hacked. I lost 0.03 from the site and still continued to mine with them even though there is a possibility that they could be hacked again. The thing with mining is that there is a high possibility that your earnings would be compromised; it could either be because of hardware failure or the pool that you're working with decides to fuck you up. It's always a risky business, but you won't get to anywhere without risking anything so it's okay to begin again.
