p.s- note instruction number 1 is different for miningpoolhub you need to change user and worker name

Of course it's too bad that it happened. I did not use NiceHash.
But I know a good alternative - minergate.com
Good luck!

Indeed that is how it was supposed to work, though I'm not quite certain how they did it internally cause I have never seen any of the miners idle-ing (as in waiting for some order from a buyer).
Minergate looks like an option at the moment, and i will be reading into it, as is the Mining pool hub mentioned earlier,
thanks for the input everyone

I don't see them crashing out..

this could happen to anyone and everyone is killing them right now over this

granted they shouldn't have keep all the btc in one wallet but that wallet is already blacklisted

did it set me back
yes
is my life over
no
am I going to go back
yes if they change how they handle our btc

Nicehash was seling your hashrate to the highest bidders and getting bitcoin in return, am I right? Because I have never used nicehash. What about to try Minergate? As I know they aren't so good but it can be considered as an alternative of nicehash.
It's sad they didn't care about security, hope they'll come back.

Kinda was a good little lesson.

Its going to be interesting watching difficulties and prices of Alts fluctuate from the fallout.

Actually mining

Its sad, how people never learn. So many sites and exchanges have been hacked, millions gone, and people still use online wallets.

Why would you do that? Its just common sense not to do it.

There are really only two things infinite - peoples stupidity and the universe - and we're not sure about the universe.

I know some people that switched to winminer on the Windows side, I suspect I will try it out on a small rig to see what it's about.

This #NiceHack turned out as a perfect example why centralization is bad. I feel sorry for everyone who got hacked today thanks to NH.

Sad event for Nicehash. I would not be surprised if very high fees gonna be higher. In general, there will be a lesson for everyone else that you need to be more careful about security of your wallets

100% agree...i hope this nicehash and this lazy fucktard miners will never return

That is a ludicrous amount of funds wow, I agree though, Nicehash is for the lazy people.

Being a miner; hopefully not. Lazy people shouldn't earn as much as they do with nicehash (which is still way too low compared to "manual" mining).

Call me what you want, but difficulty across the board has dropped significantly already and if a nicehash hack is what it takes to shake at least some of the plug and play miners who doesn't even have any idea of the coins they mine, as they only get paid in BTC, I'm all for it.

Mining Pool hub can be configured to auto exchange all coins to any coin of your choice, so you can set it to change to BTC.

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
