NICEHASH confirmed - hacked - Any legit alternatives?

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?

holy crap, where do people even start to find stuff out like this so fast.  Things may be getting wild.  I'd say a lot of "hack" are simply inside jobs.  Sometimes the amounts are just too big to resist....

Soooo, nicehash succesfully hacked itself...

[Spiffy_1]

cryptsy 2.0 and Big vern all over again.  glad I only lost 20 bucks from nicehash from whatever my latop could mine when I was on the road.

So I am guessing we are not going to recover the money that was in our nicehash wallets? 

[Sledge0001]

I think we all need to hold off on the assumptions and wait to see how this plays out. With a crime that has numbers this large all eyes are going to be on them. I'm optimistic they will sort this all out.

I think we can summon famous detective @Gleb Gamow if he wants to do something in his spare time.

bad things always happen in Crypto world

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.

what do you offer?
hardware wallet?
which one?
thanks

This is not exchange, this is not pool. This is the place where people sell their hash power to buyers, and you mine altcoins for them. A lot of people didn't meat THRESHOLD because of limits on site that where put aka if you have 0.1 on your wallet(external) or 0.001 on Nicehash's wallet then you can withdraw money and fees were awful(i wouldn't call them fees but more extra charge). So evne if you had 20-30$ you can't withdraw them because the system was made like that... But hey... its to late to cry over spilled milk.

[ivakar]

The most ugly joke that now many have fallen profit on other pools.
News is bad, and it is unclear how everything will end.

[szafa]

Beware iPhone is used to find your password.Prohashing is alternate.

[ikicha]

Sad today when nicehash announce Hacked
Security is everything but so sorry to all miners and buyers for lost
for me this is a great because Hash rate is significant decresed

"Feels like an inside job, smells like an inside job, and looks like an inside job, ergo it's a duck. Who do I see to pick up my reward for solving the crime?"

[dukemc]

Thats not nice that funds have been stolen - but it´s nice for smaller miners cause on several coins the Hashrate and difficulty went down.

True, though multi-day minimum payment thresholds are also to blame here, (NH paid weekly at best) and that's a common problem across many pools. (Nanopool, Ethermine, slushpool, etc, etc).

Obviously, transaction fees start to be an issue if you go the other way to be fair...

Yeah, everything that's possible.

Indeed it a nice "idea". How do we know that actual hack is happened and not just another self-bankruptcy?

[Vit83]

IMHO no sense to kill working profitable business. They could get more profit just working or sell it.

[Turkish88]
