Topic: hypernova.pw "disappeared" with coins - page 2. (Read 4195 times)
http://hypernova.pw seem to have been hacked, the difficulty dropped to ~18, and everyone started getting tons of shares each second, ended up with hundreds of coins in the accounts, but now is way down to 0.0000000000 LTC. They didn't even bother to use a backup or anything like that, just decided to zero everything. Pretty pissed right now.
do they have an official thread where this is being discussed?
no, i'm just suppossing, nothing official. for the global pool difficulty to have changed like that, something went terrible wrong (from 800ish to 18)
I would guess he upgraded litecoin and did not have the blockchain ready.. which means low diff reported to the pool.
So are you saying your account showed a ton of coins and maybe some people make withdraws draining the pool's wallet to nothing?
yes, I didn't attempt to withdraw any coins because I knew something was wrong, I didn't own that many coins, that's for sure.

no, i'm just suppossing, nothing official. for the global pool difficulty to have changed like that, something went terrible wrong (from 800ish to 18), after my miner lost connection, I went to the site to see if it was online, then I saw it.
EDIT: see the last "created block"
