What was the minimun payout?

Low-key was no minimum payout but weekly schedule
bigger players could have daily payouts
users of Nicehash miner could increase frequency of payouts

Something like that. They acted about 24 hours prior to the weekly payout that most miners are on.

So this was most likely planned out to coincide with the payout?

I ain't really sure what they plan to do with them, everyone knows where they are and are watching. The FBI can trace bitcoin transactions now so it's dead money.

All their coins in one warm wallet, something not right there surely an inside job, what about back up funds? Profits?
How can a company with such technology make such a naive error??

Thats how large pools work. They have one wallet for a particular coin and a database to know who is supposed to get what. If the database gets corrupted or the wallet hacked, you're up a creek without a paddle. Auto payouts are your friend.

I had auto payouts but high limit with Nicehash was due payout tomorrow

Word on the street is the perps weren't interested in the money, they just wanted the cred/branding: NiceHack. Coming soon to a coffee mug near you. Customize yours with your specific amount of lost BTC, i.e., I lost 150,000シ in NiceHack and all I got was this stupid mug.

Maybe they send to cold storage monthly and the hacker knew the schedule for this.
I would think 4,700 BTC is about a months worth of mining for Nicehash users.

$60m bitcoin locked vs constant sell pressure by miners... could be worse.

There is no reason to believe that the haul is "locked". Quite the contrary. I'm sure it will be converted and laundered ASAP.

That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time... thanks Wink

last line is the best: we are sorry for the inconvenience this caused.

being down for maintenance is an inconvenience. not responding to inquiries in a timely manner is an inconvenience.

getting hacked and losing all your customers money is a touch above inconvenience.

Let me fix this:

We apologize for fucking you in the ass!

Look at this guys response in the one discord channel I'm in when I posted this:

"I lost my last month's worth of mining effort because of this. Not only that, but since my car was totalled after I made the last payment, NiceHash has been my only source of income as I am still waiting for the title to the car to be released. Please...do not hate yourself as much as I hate myself right now..because it is not a fun moment"

Anyone stupid enough to leave a MONTH'S income there deserves no less. Are you fucking kidding me?? I only use them when their earnings are higher than other sources and when I do I NEVER leave more then 2 days revenue in their wallet. Why?? Because it's THEIR Wallet!!!

Good that I didn't have much funds there. Google for kryptex if someone's looking for a substitute (auto-algo, bitcoin-payouts service)

Mining Pool Hub have the same features as Nicehash. It has multy mining and even it is better as you can choose coin for auto exchange.
