Gotta love how SBD pumps conveniently when Poloniex disables deposits.

Not once used Nicehash - I have IM's from there forum account asking me to move from MMR to themselves.
Nothing seemed right with the company - I've seen other forums where Equipment owners have been denied payments due to "technical issues".
I even managed to get 5 blocks by renting with MMR (wish I had held on to them longer)..

My 5th block was mined using 350Th (oh the days of small rentals) Proof can be found here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.msg10211347#msg10211347

My advice if your renting stick with Mining Rig Rentals all problems are quickly resolved either by the rig owners. I cant see a downside to using their services @ http://tinyurl.com/qencw96

Gotta love the sneaky attempt to shill your own referral link.

4400 btc are good for 4/5 people to live the rest of their lives in luxury.
I guess 90% of people would do it.
That's how humanity is.

And that is if they don't get caught.

The risks severely outweigh simply continuing business as usual and further growing it.

Also forgot to mention that laundering that money in the first place is a task of its own.

Official press release regarding the NiceHash security breach

Unfortunately, there has been a security breach involving NiceHash website. We are currently investigating the nature of the incident and, as a result, we are stopping all operations for the next 24 hours.

Importantly, our payment system was compromised and the contents of the NiceHash Bitcoin wallet have been stolen. We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken.

Clearly, this is a matter of deep concern and we are working hard to rectify the matter in the coming days. In addition to undertaking our own investigation, the incident has been reported to the relevant authorities and law enforcement and we are co-operating with them as a matter of urgency.

We are fully committed to restoring the NiceHash service with the highest security measures at the earliest opportunity.

We would not exist without our devoted buyers and miners all around the globe. We understand that you will have a lot of questions, and we ask for patience and understanding while we investigate the causes and find the appropriate solutions for the future of the service. We will endeavour to update you at regular intervals.

While the full scope of what happened is not yet known, we recommend, as a precaution, that you change your online passwords.

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused and are committing every resource towards solving this issue as soon as possible.

Best strategy for exit, I lost BTC1.4

Best and Traditional strategy for exit scamming that beginning by:

Oh folks someone hacked us and all BTC gone.
We are so sorry ....
A old story that we will see at Bittrex and Poloniex and Yobit very soon.


I am sorry man. you lost much. you shouldn't leave your BTC in a online wallet.

The claims that maintenance was ongoing as a result of the downtime is a bit strange.

But honestly, in this market, exit scams are not worth it. It's best to just continue with your operations as more users come in and generate even more revenue.

why is bitcoin going up especially after a big event like nicehash hack. Last year, news like this would have been a 30% drop!

Because people have realized that it has become so frequent that it is something normal and they are focused on the events of December 10 ( CBOE will be launching their futures market this coming Sunday, December 10 ) and December 18 ( CME Group following on December 18 )



It's strange that I'm not seeing all the news channels talk a lot about this event "  NiceHash hacked! "


NiceHash isn't primarily Bitcoin. It's a small service built mostly on altcoins but used Bitcoin. Plus, I'd be surprised if many were even aware of it given most of the focus is on the BTC market, and nothing else.

Glad I withdrew yesterday. Looks like Prohashing is now who we turn to for the best profits.

Don't know about you guys but I'll be withdrawing daily.

Unfortunately, ProHashing only supports scrypt and x11.

It now has the potential to be even larger, if it does adapt to new algos.

The platform itself holds a ton of potential. I'm excited to see how it pans out once the applications actually release.

My only problem is the extremely poor PR. It really needs some improvements.

Happy mining and thank you for your patience.



Miner .exe seems to just immediately close for me. Nothing blocking it.

So what's the actual supply and initial cost?

Thread says 60 million at an initial price of 1$.

Site says 5,000,000,000 total supply and only 2,500,000,000 for sale at a price of 0.01$.

Is there currently an option to remove the fee?

These closed-source miners with built-in fees go against everything crypto is for.

Not really seeing any professionalism or real justification, still.

This might come as a surprise to you, but cryptocurrencies are neither my profession, nor is anyone paying me to spend my time on them.

I'm not trying to justify anything either, so take it as you will.

That doesn't mean you can perform incredibly shady actions without consequences. 

I fail to see how leaving an open source project is incredibly shady, and given the way this conversation is going we won't come to a mutual agreement either.

I'm not here to argue; but I will voice my thoughts on your previous actions as a developer on the coin.

I just think me, and many others, deserved to know a little more regarding your random departure from the coin previously. It certainly could have been handled better.

Well, you never really told anyone that. You simply one day just disappeared and left everyone to scatter around and attempt to pick up the pieces.

A lot of people lost a lot of Bitcoin because of that. Many other people were also accused of running a scamcoin given they had no answers.  

So this argument effectively boils down to something like "Because of your radio-silence, people lost money"...
...while the price and volume of pandacoin were well on their way to nearing zero, even while I was still active.
This means the outcome would have been one and the same, radio-silence or not.

If you can't stand the thought of losing your money, don't invest into some project you didn't do any due dilligence on. I've been preaching this same thing for years now.

I fortunately didn't lose a cent. This isn't entirely about the losses that you caused, though.

It's the fact that you disappeared without even telling anyone you were done. People you worked with didn't even have any answers. The entire thing looked like a scam; a scam even other developers were unaware of.

At the most, you could've had the decency to at least tell everyone either through these threads or on IRC (both would've been nice) that you would be ceasing development on the coin and handing it down to the others that were still throwing time and effort into making it work.

Instead: you disappeared, the main site went down shortly after, everyone in the IRC channel and on here were attempting to piece together what may have happened, where a possible scam may have formed, whether it was a scam all along.

Whether you had your reasons or not, you left an awfully shady trail behind.

Please just dump your Pandacoins now while you can still get a few Latoshis for them.



I gave all of them away back in 2015 to people in IRC and on here once amDOGE disappeared.

Would you mind (obviously not in actual detail for personal reasons) explaining what happened when you did suddenly just disappear from PND a few years back?

I decided to move on to other things, since I felt my time was better spent elsewhere.

What ever happened to the funds that were accumulated via the community with the plan of sending them to a charity to benefit pandas?

Nothing. The keys used for those wallets were purged, so I would advice against sending anything to those addresses now.

I see. That's quite disappointing given how you handled it; could've been a lot better, really.
