Why should anyone leave his money on a pool , ppl still don't understand cryptos , never trust third party ,if they don't run with your money someone will hack them and run with it , so it's a matter of time to be stolen , control your private keys control your own money....no banks in crypto

Payouts are scheduled in this case, at least to my knowledge.
A lot of Crypto mining is about trust and contributing to the network and pools, i guess.

LMAO!!! " Promise I won't tell anyone"!! WTF....good thing that developer stayed the company course. She would have lost her job due to that Judas!!

Yeah she should have said "Our PR team will send out an update soon regarding the outage"

Instead she said "handle the situation"

to me "handle the situation" implies something not good.

I wish I had .0001 BTC for every time a "hack" rumor circulated. Fun to watch all the guppies swim to and fro. Here's a hint. Don't leave money in ANY wallet. At least not any amounts that will be painful to lose.

Everyone saying about having 0 on their wallet and checking it out on the block chain.. Doesn't really understand how their system works...

They will not literally deposit any money on the wallet they generate to you as it would have unnecessary network cost for them.. What they do is just add an entry on their database pointing that address X has Y balance... And when you ask for payout.. Then their internal address will send out the money and deduct from the database...

Só tracking your NH address on the blockchain won't work.. You might be able to see it through if you have made any deposit to it previously.. But you might never see that address sending funds directly to you.. Or you might even see that it has been zero out long time ago....

Hello guys, nicehash is not using standard wallet for transaction so it’s normal if the balance is 0. If you notice there are not transaction even if you had it before.

The thing is big and even the two factor authentication is not safe because if someone hacked the server the two factor aurh can be bypassed.

Usually the keys and the password are not stored cleared so if someone hacked them has been really good on it or they keep clear all users data.

My two cent.

This doesn't look good. They have been down for maintenance for 6+ hours. I feel some lawsuits on the horizon. I don't understand why miners don't just mine the most profitable coin and go through a proxy service like nicehash. I moved off of them a year ago and mine directly to a wallet of the coin I am currently mining in. When I need to take profit I move it to an exchange and do so.

Are you sure? Picture/screenshot and timestamp to prove?

I wouldn't continue to mine if it let me , just in case.

They probably stored all those generated private-keys on one single repository, unencrypted. Ouch..

Recently switched away from using NiceHash so havn't been affected by this, hope it turns out that they are actually just doing maintenance and everyone's balances remain intact.

blatantly wrong. any buyer can see their wallet transactions on the block chain. And I can clearly see 50ish withdrawls from my nicehash wallet between 2017-12-06 02:27:00 and 2017-12-06 06:15:12 averaging about 1btc each.

If you are checking your addresses on from Nicehash, you won't find it, its because they are using internal addresses from their site, and you can't find them on Blockchain at all

It's been half a day now and this is certainly no longer a "regular maintenance". If they were hacked then this is theft and a SWAT team will stomp those hackers out.
There is another downside to mining crypto. The constant fear of getting hacked. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin is unhackable, they just go for the weakness - the exchanges, etc.
