Title: Issue with ethermine.org or did i get hacked?
Post by: neweggslave23 on January 18, 2018, 06:10:56 PM
My mining computer was running fine for 3 days. Then the reported hash rate and effective hash rate all dropped to zero for 5 hours on their webpage, then it came back on, while log file shows it was submitting hash rate and shares for those 5 hours.

Then, it submitted shares/hashrate for 40 minutes before ethermine.org stopped showing hashrate/shares.

Now it's displaying normal #s on ethermine.org

Just curious, has this happened to anyone else?
Did someone reroute the shares and hashrate to a different address while it's running? because the log files is 56mb big, and i been running it for the past 3 days.

Could be if their stats server was down or if you lost connection up to the pool.  Doubt it was anything to do with hacking.  Best thing is to check your balance to see if it lines up with what you expect to mine per day/hour/etc

It happened few times before, it's rare but it happens and they dont pay you when that happens.

well hard to say, have you checked with ethermine? did they post some announcement?
sometime bad things happens on pools. but to be safe, just run some antiviral checks on your system and change important passwords
I guess that is just to be sure you made some precaution  steps

My 2nd computer, on a different address did not have this issue, therefore the post. Very strange can't figure out why.

That sucks, even with proof, can't do much?

I noticed, it was mining on a failed over server, which was ethermine.org as well, but then switched back to main. From us2.ethermine to us1.ethermine.

I also noticed in my start to mine .bat file it didn't include esm -1, while my epool.txt had esm 1 declaration, i think that is what happened?

I'll monitor more in the upcoming days.
