Nicehash site is up...

[dagarair]

not saying it's bullet proof but I'm sure a crap ton more security is in place.  Now if they did the hack themselves well.... you're fooked! 

[BitcoinSupremo]

I wonder what percentage of the people will go back to this after what happened.

I already did. You may say why ? Because one of my rigs with modified bios and 6 x RX 570 series is doing 4950 h/s on Monero/Cryptonight algorithm. Paying 26.5 USD daily I guess one of the highest for such configuration and Monero is my favorite algorithm because it consumes less energy.

Same cards on Winminer were doing 3600 h/s or 17 USD daily, that is 270 USD more monthly with Nicehash. I would be stupid to not go back. I think they will not be hacked anymore and store all the coins in cold storage now.

The only thing I disagree is the same min payout, I would love to see 0.005 btc as min withdraw.

anyone who thinks like this noob does, is one stupidly naïve person. they didn't change much of anything. payout amount is the same, id bet all the funds go into a hot wallet still just waiting to get hacked again. so think they will not get hacked again is a stupid thing to think

Calling me noob is something stupid, having built more than 100 boards for many friends and not friends, lately I have done a successful bios modification also of one of the most problematic card and with Hynix memory. Why am I stupid, I make 0.011 btc weekly so max I can lose is one week of mining. I made 76 USD with Winminer in one week, while I am making about 160 USD within a week with Nicehash.

It is called risk taking and not stupid thinking.

Since I never found a good reliable pool with a LOW payout threshold for CryptoNight (Monero) mining, my CPU miners are pointed at Nicehash.
I had the one Vega doing something else while NH was down (not cryptocoin related), it's also pointed at Nicehash.
The rest I'm keeping away for now.

[MiningDoc]

I for one will not mine on their site until I get paid what is owed to me and I'm pretty sure I am owed more than what is said they owe me on the site.

For my address, the balance owed is correct.  I looked at the balance the evening of the theft and that matches up with what the page now says is owed.  Hopefully yours is not too far off.

I have tried multiple times to login so i can get the password reset but have had no luck so I tried to do lost password reset still nothing I than contacted support and got a reply in a few hrs saying with all the emails being sent from their domain some email servers flagged them I used yahoo is anyone else having a issue

[The Demon Slick]

I think they're more profitable right away but maybe not long term... like I'm mining ethereum classic and stacking the coins at around 35-40, and hoping they go up to 75-100 next year, but I don't need the money right now, I'm waiting. Maybe I'll lose. I guess you could stack bc too, but I don't use my gpus for that. For straight up income daily nicehash is usually the best. Sucks about the hack but no risk no reward I guess.

[Tristan1337]

I'm definitely not going to be mining at Nicehash until they have lowered the payout, paid what they owe people and proven that they are without issues for a reasonable time frame.

After all, you will likely make more money if you mine the coins directly and cash out to BTC. Especially since BTC is constantly fluctuating, and Nicehash takes forever to give you your BTC...  If you ever see it.. lol

So by the time you receive your BTC it might just be worth half the dollars that it was when you mined it...

Oh, and BTW... Don't be surprised if Nicehash suddenly has problems with their next payout, and it gets "delayed".  

[storeship]

So Nicehash comes back online the same day that the last of the coins left the wallet they went into, in the meantime BTC went up to $19k, day it came back online BTC at $15.5k, were they sold at top price and bought back at lower price, in my calculations 4700 bitcoins at $3500 profit = 16.45 million dollars profit??
Just a thought??

Nanopool you can set to 0.3 Monero payout, that is pretty low. I still prefer nicehash and already switched back to it though.

I have a feeling that they knew somehow that the bitcoin price will crash soon. now they can buy back bitcoins on a much lower price. They said they will return bitcoins on end of January thats possible indication that by then the prices will go up again.

[zukko]

Yeah, it's very suspicious that this hacking is just before the bitcoin rate falls.
Well, at least let them return what was on the balance, and that's good for me.

[stash2coin]

If the hack was indeed an excuse to sell 4k+ coins at a price of 18-19K dollars. That's very clever move by them, profit at least $30mn+  . Well thats how you do it boys 

[Oakey22]

It's obvious it was them that did the hack, anyone using this service is in denial and addicted to the site. I really don't want to associate with a service that is destroying mining for the real miners.

If it is the case they took a big risk that paid off, gotta kinda like em for it.

if that was the case, if that move failed you wouldn't like them then. not to mention if that's the case they took a gamble WITH YOUR MONEY and WITHOUT your consent just to gain a few bucks

[huntingthesnark]

Well, none of the mining servers are accepting connections at the moment, so ethics aside you can't mine anyway...

Are you trying the nVidia miner? Legacy miner(AMD) works fine since yesterday...

Nope, using the tcp stratum address in Claymore/Cast. Tried EU, US and Asia versions. Maybe a temp glitch...

[jossiel]

I wouldn't trust nicehack again, come on guys we know that they are giving convenience when it comes to the profit of our mined coins.

But it just happened that their security isn't good as others and they hired a past hacker or who knows that hacker is still on his own agenda and keeps on doing nasty things.

If I were you, I'll move to another pool and will not be fooled again by them.

What is the old saying.....Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!!

Add also this one, once is enough - twice is too much.

As an update I've read in a group that there are some bugs existing and I can't post it since I forgot on what group of miners is that.

And that really made me feel upset on their comeback, no more NH. Take them guys with what you believe but I've warned you.

[evollie]

i'm confused now..
must i trust nicehash again?
they offer great profit, great return...
but they haven't paid the lost / hack money

should i return to nicehash again?
please advice

[GunsN]

where is more profit?
l3+ shows 17$ in 24 hours and other pools profit is 20-22

[Yana_M1]

Good news! But when I get my BTC? When it will cost the lowest price... a coincidence - I do not think so. They simply did not want to pay when bitcoin started to grow.
