...
Note that we do offer the best payrate for SHA256, ... Miners earn about 5-20% more on NiceHash than mining directly.
Absolute lies.
You really are a bunch of scammers.
Mining to a *PPS pool pays around 100% PPS +/- a few %
Paying for fuckhash miners, costs around 100-105% PPS.
At
least 3% of that, up front, goes to fuckhash.
So at best you
might get a similar reward, or even in rare cases 1-2% more, otherwise a lower reward.
For miners:
Looking at what people are paying others *NOW* on NH it looks like they are offering a nice premium above what most PPS+ pools are paying, even if take out the 3% you are still way above what you can get at PPS+
BUT that is NOW, if over Thanksgiving weekend a bunch of people stop putting in offers that rate can drop a lot. So a good PPS+ would be better.
The best answer you can give is it depends, if you are willing to keep an eye on it and switch when needed it is a viable option. For 'fire and forget' I have no idea.
They also have lightning withdrawals for very low amounts with is nice, allowing for small miners to get their small amount funds out for very little vs just about every other pool that has a higher minimum.
For people buying hash, depending on your needs there are better places, but since I think most of the SHA buyers are either lottery mining or mining some alt that they think will go way up in value or testing something it's probably a different mind set then most of us here.
