The true extent of the damage is unknown, but has been described as “significant”. The Scryptominers admins have stated that they will cover “as much of the loss of coins from all of our pools that we can”.

loioks like a problem with a altcoin

"Dafuqcoin is a new cryptocurrency which the pool was planning on integrating. The coin’s linux wallet included malicious code which gave them access to some of Scryptominers’ wallets.

As of this moment, Scryptominers is still offline, and the site is suggesting its users redirect their miners to other pools until the damage can be fully assessed and repaired."

notting to do with bitcoin.
