It is official Nicehash got hacked https://www.justcryptonews.com/291/breaking-nicehash-has-been-hacked-50mln-missingThey have announced it on facebook, twitter, Reddit, etc , so there is no more point arguing if they were hacked or not, and they won't be back online anytime soon (if ever)... The question is: Anyone has a good alternative to suggest? My miners are already on alternative single coin pools, but I would prefer the BTC payout. Thanks

Mining Pool hub can be configured to auto exchange all coins to any coin of your choice, so you can set it to change to BTC.

Being a miner; hopefully not. Lazy people shouldn't earn as much as they do with nicehash (which is still way too low compared to "manual" mining).
Call me what you want, but difficulty across the board has dropped significantly already and if a nicehash hack is what it takes to shake at least some of the plug and play miners who doesn't even have any idea of the coins they mine, as they only get paid in BTC, I'm all for it.

Sad event for Nicehash. I would not be surprised if very high fees gonna be higher. In general, there will be a lesson for everyone else that you need to be more careful about security of your wallets

This #NiceHack turned out as a perfect example why centralization is bad. I feel sorry for everyone who got hacked today thanks to NH.

Thanks I know some people that switched to winminer on the Windows side, I suspect I will try it out on a small rig to see what it's about.

Its sad, how people never learn. So many sites and exchanges have been hacked, millions gone, and people still use online wallets.
Why would you do that? Its just common sense not to do it.
There are really only two things infinite - peoples stupidity and the universe - and we're not sure about the universe.

Kinda was a good little lesson. Its going to be interesting watching difficulties and prices of Alts fluctuate from the fallout.

As I know they aren't so good but it can be considered as an alternative of nicehash. It's sad they didn't care about security, hope they'll come back.

Indeed that is how it was supposed to work, though I'm not quite certain how they did it internally cause I have never seen any of the miners idle-ing (as in waiting for some order from a buyer). Minergate looks like an option at the moment, and i will be reading into it, as is the Mining pool hub mentioned earlier, thanks for the input everyone

Of course it's too bad that it happened. I did not use NiceHash. But I know a good alternative - minergate.com Good luck!

Will be looking to nemosminer as well, thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime, the plot (bad news?) thickens according to the post from earlier https://www.justcryptonews.com/291/breaking-nicehash-has-been-hacked-50mln-missing and Reddit : According to a reddit user the owner of Nicehash company with a share capital of half a million euros is Bitorious (45%) based in Dornberk, its director is Marko Kobal, and 55% of the company is owned by H-Bit. The owner of H-Bit is Martin Škorjanc. An interesting fact is that Martin Škorjanc is the father of Matjaž Škorjanc, who was arrested by Slovenian police for an online cyber crime with the help of the US FBI in Maribor. According to BBC Matjaz Skorjanc was arrested in 2010 after a two-year investigation into malware that had hijacked about 12.7 million computers around the world.Are things getting wild?

I switched to NEMOS / Zpool a while back from Nicehash for all my NVidia hardware... never looked back.
