[SuperDerpBro]

Just before payday too .. Guess im out a week of mining :/

If they never come back where should i take my 1060/1070 rig? Are there any other switching miners? I loved that it was doing the most profitable coin at any given time. Instead of staying on one all day/week.

Evidence is on twitter people seeing 0 account balances and its all been move to another wallet , that walllet now has 59 million.....

any comments?

Wow nice

If you are checking your addresses on from Nicehash, you won't find it, its because they are using internal addresses from their site, and you can't find them on Blockchain at all

You are wrong! I could find my and many people can find theirs. It's 0 now. Fuck (bad) hackers!

Reading through reports here and on Reddit I see two possible scenarios here

1. Nicehash has been hacked

Or

2. Nicehash detected some kind of internal breach and as a security precaution they moved all coins they controlled to a new wallet they control.

• Why would they do this? Possible reasons include their private keys were compromised or passwords were stolen
• A high level employee with access may have made a threat or been a security risk so they (over?)reacted by moving everything

In either scenario it's likely going to be a while before we really know the truth. I'm sure they are contacting authorities and are beginning investigations.

My advice is to pick a coin you like and start mining it or start looking for NH alternative sites.

Oh dear irony... Was checking Nicehash reddit, when reddit server went down as well... http://prntscr.com/hjxas3
What is next? Is Bitcoin Talk going down... Bad luck everywhere...

[Mikanoshi]

Nicehash is a mining centralization plague, it's bad that someone can loose earnings, but if Nicehash disappears it would be a good luck
Maybe some of its users will start mining on regular pools and trading instead of searching for another alternative for noob miners

hahaha i hope they really got hacked, fucking nicehash

[Tidsdilatation]

Holy shit, this is big. HOPEFULLY they shut everything down becourse they found the exploit in time. Otherwise the hacker is a really rich man.... Holy shit... I like nicehash

Yes. I hope like that. Nicehash will be fine

It's been half a day now and this is certainly no longer a "regular maintenance". If they were hacked then this is theft and a SWAT team will stomp those hackers out.
There is another downside to mining crypto. The constant fear of getting hacked. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin is unhackable, they just go for the weakness - the exchanges, etc.

[BitBot.V2]

blatantly wrong. any buyer can see their wallet transactions on the block chain. And I can clearly see 50ish withdrawls from my nicehash wallet between 2017-12-06 02:27:00 and 2017-12-06 06:15:12 averaging about 1btc each.

[juanichiloco]

Recently switched away from using NiceHash so havn't been affected by this, hope it turns out that they are actually just doing maintenance and everyone's balances remain intact.

[SerManJ]

Is this just the nicehash selling pool? because i  am in the solo mining of nice hash and everything is working.

[ConAim]

They probably stored all those generated private-keys on one single repository, unencrypted. Ouch..

i  am in the solo mining of nice hash and everything is working

Are you sure? Picture/screenshot and timestamp to prove?

I wouldn't continue to mine if it let me , just in case.

[Rickirs]

Had plan to try Nicehash but didn't yet.. so nothing affected on my side .. but still what is the current status ?

That's as much as I know.

This doesn't look good. They have been down for maintenance for 6+ hours. I feel some lawsuits on the horizon. I don't understand why miners don't just mine the most profitable coin and go through a proxy service like nicehash. I moved off of them a year ago and mine directly to a wallet of the coin I am currently mining in. When I need to take profit I move it to an exchange and do so.
