Miners who are using nicehash are doomed. I really feel sorry for them. It could be happen again on any mining pools if it is an exit scam.

NiceHash The Mining Service Got Hacked. What are your thoughts guys? Will bitcoin going to drop?

We had more than three bad news about bitcoin today; first, bittrex scammed millions of people, steam stopped accepting bitcoin deposits, and now NiceHash lost more than 60 millions of dollars worth of bitcoin.

This is crazy, the price is $13,950 EACH BITCOIN, and it was less than $11,800 yesterday, this is crazy guys.
I dont know when it will stop going up.

Lol, all the btc were sent with very reasonable transaction fees too, not like the perpetrator(s) were rushing at all.

Definitely smells like an exit scam.

I think so too.

Actually I think we will see a drop in bitcoin price when this news reach the mainstream media.

What just happened does not show the perks of a secure and safe currency.

See, most of the time I think that anyone who gets "hacked" either had someone do something through an inside job or they were bad with their handling of their funds, resulting in the lots funds being stolen due to incompetence. It's a shame that they saw those losses but it's not like there will be much that can be done for them now.

Bitcoin shouldn't drop because, if it was going to, it likely would have already. Only if they get dumped will such a thing happen, but at the same time there is almost no chance that will happen since they'll move it piece by piece, slowly selling them off and taking the value. More than likely, anyways. Not sure what the mentality of the hacker, or thief, is.

It's not going to affect the BTCUSD market. The price continues to push new all-time highs as we speak, hours after the news dropped. The losses are estimated at ~$60 million, which is paltry compared to the overall market.

However, I will say that NiceHash was the most reputable cloud mining service. I know a couple altcoin miners that regular rent hash rate from them, and I'm guessing they were affected by this. It will definitely send some shockwaves through altcoin and miner communities, and it will probably have some effect on POW altcoin hash rates.

I'm skeptical about the circumstances. It sounds like they kept their bitcoin holdings all online on a live server. That's violating security 101 for an operation as large as NiceHash. It starts to smell like an exit scam.... Undecided
