Learning about today's NiceHash hack I can't stop wondering how come they had nearly 5000 BTC for god sake? Have thousands of miners not withdrew for years? Have large players kept lots of funds to quickly grab mining power at will?
I think it's an inside job, anyone here watched their live stream and about the hacking incident? When they are about to say about those funds that are still on their miners balance, I don't know who that guy is but he showed a sigh. I don't know those people that still have their bitcoins on their wallet if they will be refunded but I don't think so that they will do it but still I hope they can recover from this tragedy.
About which NiceHash livestream are you talking about? When did that happen?

Yap, many small miners with 1 GPU or even CPU used them for months or even years without reaching minimum payout. Now all these people lost their money. Another example how not to keep your money on any kind of online system or exchange.

You have to remember that they most likely had 10.000's of miners and many most likely did not withdrew right away. Personally I only had value of around 100 USD on the account, but some might just have used the nicehash wallet as their main wallet, if they only did mining via nicehash.

The biggest issue however is most likely that those who purchased hashing power, would have had a lot of coins in their wallets.

Sorry for your lost funds m8. I hope hackers will return most of the funds in exchange for some % so NiceHash won't be completely destroyed by this....


Let's hope so
