Topic: NICEHASH confirmed - hacked - Any legit alternatives? (Read 5272 times)
Will be looking to nemosminer as well, thanks for the suggestion.
In the meantime, the plot (bad news?) thickens according to the post from earlier https://www.justcryptonews.com/291/breaking-nicehash-has-been-hacked-50mln-missing and Reddit :
According to a reddit user the owner of Nicehash company with a share capital of half a million euros is Bitorious (45%) based in Dornberk, its director is Marko Kobal, and 55% of the company is owned by H-Bit. The owner of H-Bit is Martin Škorjanc. An interesting fact is that Martin Škorjanc is the father of Matjaž Škorjanc, who was arrested by Slovenian police for an online cyber crime with the help of the US FBI in Maribor. According to BBC Matjaz Skorjanc was arrested in 2010 after a two-year investigation into malware that had hijacked about 12.7 million computers around the world.
Are things getting wild?

I all ways thought the owners of nice hash were shady but didn't think they were that bad..
Well, to be honest, the fact that someone has bad history, is ..well just that. Otherwise, the law states, innocent until proven guilty
Despite shady past history, I actually do not think that this is an inside job after all. Time will tell I guess.
The good news (for those who still want to just click and mine without tinkering and ever optimizing hardware, pools etc etc) is that they are probably coming back online sometime soon. https://www.justcryptonews.com/294/nicehash-coming-back-online
We shall see, how that plays out...

I wonder if Josh Zerlan was behind NiceHash.
Oh, and it's GED, not to be confused with Q.E.D. (re a post above the fold).

They are just too lazy to put periods between the letters.

Hey guys. I just registered an account here and figured I would ask a few stupid questions and get laughed at some haha. Anyway, I was one of the people who got screwed over by nicehash, but stuff happens and life goes on. I followed the advice on here and downloaded the NemosMiner 2.2.1 and it's currently running. I've got a really stupid question though...How do I know when I will get paid or how much I have earned? With nicehash there was an entire gui/interface that showed everything nice and clear. With all of the command prompt setups, I have no idea how to figure that out. I have read a ton about mining, but I still have a lot to learn. Hopefully you guys won't be to hard on me and help me swap over from what apparently was the dark side.
Thanks again for the help to whoever answers. If you need any further information let me know.
PS: One more quick question, can the NemosMiner use your CPU as well? I have a nice new shiny 8700k that I would like to mine with as well if it's possible. I know certain currencies can be mined with it, I believe cryptonight or keccak, but I could be wrong. I just don't know if you can do it with NemosMiner / ccminer or if I need something completely separate for that.
Sorry for the noob questions, but I am just starting out lol. If you guys are curious or it helps at all, I have a single gtx 1080, 8700k, 16gb of ram and a great cooling setup. Temps at full load are below 50c on the cpu and below 63C on the GPU.
Edit: Well I figured out how to see how much I am making, I feel pretty stupid now haha. Still need to find out how to mine with my cpu though instead of just my gpu. Any tips would be appreciated!

What were they mining using the cryptonight algo then?
If you hadn't been using NiceHash, you would know. Now we won't tell you and we will keep mining it
you tried nicehash because your too lazy to actually learn something to better yourself in mining. I feel bad for those that lost btc but hey its the nature of the beast also bout time nicehash came down
Not really. I personally wouldn't call someone lazy who has made learning about cryptocurrency a second full time job for the past several weeks. I tried NH to get my foot in the door and start generating some $ as a miner who has had my first 6 gpu rig running for less than a week. I wasn't interested in letting $3500usd worth of hardware sit and not generate anything while I explored other avenues. On another note, my rig is finally up and running mining something that has required a lot of time and effort. Thanks for all of the help.
You might want to stop spending your time as a fool so quick to judge anyone who ever used NH and begin by educating yourself on the proper use of punctuation. That would instantly make more seem a little more intelligent. Which in your case, is very much needed.
P.S. ... There is a huge difference between your and you're. Perhaps you should take another look at getting your G.E.D.
Agree with u) If it is honest everybody who is minnig pools are lazy) The most profit comes from newest coins that nobody had heard;) If u are working somethere else, nice helps u realy fast check profitability and choose algo. If the main job minnig ok u can do all manually, it's your choice.

Thanks but how does it compare to Nemosminer? which one is easiest to use for Nvidia cards?
how easy is it to use mining pool hub? I really liked the convenience of nicehash
lost a lotta btc though with this hack:-(

Smells to a inside job. Exit scam plausible.

You can't blame the victims because nice hash decided to run off with everyone's money, they offered a service that worked for some who were willing to sacrifice a bit more of profit for the convenience. This is really no different than paying exchange, pool, or miner fees. At just about every step of the game you end up needing to trust someone and they could turn out to be a scammer and run off with your funds. Sure you could solo mine to your own wallet and never move the coins anywhere ever, but then what would be the point.

I was mining with two S9s for about a day and this happens. It's not a big loss for me but I know how much of a loss it is for people that had more crypto on their accounts. Guess it's just one downside to being lazy.

Lol ... I've had my first 6 gpu rig up and running for a total of 2 days, so don't hate because I tried nicehash for 6 hours and woke up yesterday morning to this.

Very sad day indeed , I was one of those lazy miners , I was introduced to Nicehash back in June , I have not looked back since , thankfully I have cashed out every Friday....this Friday will be the first Friday I have not cashed out !!!!
I guess I have to get real or sell my kit !! thankfully not a bad time to be selling hardware due to the price of BTC going through the roof
Maybe jump back in when a real lazy style alternative shows up.
Nicehash is dead in the water , anyone hold their breath for it come back online anytime soon , is likely to run out of breath !!! but I shall holds out until Monday and see what happens!

I hope it won't come back online, and if it does, only a lazy retard would do mining there to get scammed once again
When Bitcoin price surges, human nature shows itself, always the same excuse "oh dear, I've been somehow hacked", lies and more lies, but don't worry, Lambos are unworthy in hell.
Well ... I was getting more than $6/day per RX Vega 56 with NH when BTC was around 15K. Now it seems I'll be lucky to get $4/day per card mining Monero with XMR-STAK (1800ish h/s per card). I'm not sure why so many people are saying their profits have increased substantially due to a decrease in difficulty. If that's the case, what am I missing?
Because everyone and their mother bought out all the VEGA's to mine along with you... People smell profit and then devour quickly.
I said that people are saying their profits have increased due to the difficulty level decrease that having NH out of the picture has created. That has nothing to do with what anyone is mining with. The night before NH went down, I was hitting about 6.50/day per card with them. When they went down, people started saying they were seeing record profits because NH was down, so difficulty had decreased with all of those NH users not mining. I tried switching to XMR-STAK. NH was paying more per card to mine Cryptonight than a mining pool with XMR-STAK mining Monero straight up. All of that while difficulty is supposedly down?
They weren't mining XMR with cryptonight algo on Nicehash.

It is official Nicehash got hacked https://www.justcryptonews.com/291/breaking-nicehash-has-been-hacked-50mln-missing
They have announced it on facebook, twitter, Reddit, etc , so there is no more point arguing if they were hacked or not, and they won't be back online anytime soon (if ever)...
The question is: Anyone has a good alternative to suggest?
My miners are already on alternative single coin pools, but I would prefer the BTC payout.
Thanks

I went to Awesomeminer/Zpool.ca after yesterday. Zpool website has been iffy all day, not showing any productivity and now the page is down with the following message, "Frontend offline to help reduce the load to catch up on the backlog of earnings in our DB."
Hopefully everything is good, electric heat is expensive.
