2. Nicehash detected some kind of internal breach and as a security precaution they moved all coins they controlled to a new wallet they control.

Why would they do this? Possible reasons include their private keys were compromised or passwords were stolen
A high level employee with access may have made a threat or been a security risk so they (over?)reacted by moving everything

In either scenario it's likely going to be a while before we really know the truth. I'm sure they are contacting authorities and are beginning investigations.

My advice is to pick a coin you like and start mining it or start looking for NH alternative sites.

Yes. I hope like that. Nicehash will be fine

Insane In The Blockchain ⚠

Nicehash is a mining centralization plague, it's bad that someone can loose earnings, but if Nicehash disappears it would be a good luck

Maybe some of its users will start mining on regular pools and trading instead of searching for another alternative for noob miners Cheesy

Reading through reports here and on Reddit I see two possible scenarios here

1. Nicehash has been hacked

Or

2. Nicehash detected some kind of internal breach and as a security precaution they moved all coins they controlled to a new wallet they control.

Why would they do this? Possible reasons include their private keys were compromised or passwords were stolen
A high level employee with access may have made a threat or been a security risk so they (over?)reacted by moving everything

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

You are wrong! I could find my and many people can find theirs. It's 0 now. Fuck (bad) hackers!

Just before payday too Sad

.. Guess im out a week of mining :/

If they never come back where should i take my 1060/1070 rig? Are there any other switching miners? I loved that it was doing the most profitable coin at any given time. Instead of staying on one all day/week.

Boy, this really is a good example why it's important for companies to be a little more transparent with their customers when they do things that are service affecting... Take the BTC transfer mentioned above - it could be one of two things:

#1, Transfer all wallet funds into a temporary wallet when changing something on the existing wallet (good safety measure)
#2, Hacker transferring all wallet funds to their wallet - poof! Your money is gone.

Since Nicehash has been around the block for a while, I'd like to assume they've got things running pretty tightly on the wallet side of things, so let's assume for now it's #1 - the problem by not coming out and saying what's going on beyond "Our service is currently under maintenance.", or the equally enlightening "it might take longer than expected."

So are they going "Oh crap! We need to get these servers up now! What's taking so long?!" - or are they saying "Oh crap! All the money is gone! What are we going to say?!"

Either way, no one can do anything but sit on the sidelines and wait because no one will know anything until they give us some sort of update.

Yea, I'm worried. Had $600 in my wallet. I tried checking it, with a few websites, and they all say 0. There are no transactions at all tho. No sends no receives, nothing. One site had a thing on the bottom that said "No transactions. If you are seeing this message, this address may not of been used yet.", so on the other hand I'm not seeing where anything was moved either. I remember hearing something before about their addresses not being an actual address, only an internal address specific to them, so I dunno. Definetly stressful waiting for info.

WTF!!!!!

It is a bit worrying, But I do think everyone is quick to grab their pitchforks.

I checked my 2x NH wallets and they show 0 transactions so a little worried.

Just been thinking about if they have been hacked and the funds in my NH wallet have been taken.

I have 2FA enabled so, in theory, this would stop them.

You also get a mail with a code, a massive long string of code to confirm the transaction also.

NH have their own wallet.

I have a wallet with NH but it is it's own wallet so again in theory only I should have access to it.
