Can i ask a question? Did nicehash refunded the stolen balances of other people? Im planning to try nicehash but i heard the news that they have been hack.
Of course they didn't. How do you expect them to refund over $80 million in Bitcoin that were stolen?
I don't think anyone's getting their money back.
I have never been a naysayer of NiceHash. In fact, I have successfully rented out my miners for months with more profitable results than mining with ccminer to a local wallet. But now that they are "Back from the brink"...here is my experience:
I test the waters last night and after a few false starts I get a prediction from NH that I will make $2.75 in 24 hours per GPU (I have 4 older GPU's). Great this is even better than before the hack! I check my NH balance after 12 hours and I have barely over $1 and I am expecting $5 based on NH calculations. Anyone else seeing similar results? If that is how they are going to "recover" then count me out I am back to ccminer!
The hack and fund recovery has nothing to do with the calculations and rates you're getting. The amount of money you get depends on the algorithm that Nicehash chooses to mine, that coin's price, Bitcoin's price and the network difficulty. Of course there will be (sometimes wild) fluctuations.
