Nah i dont think it was before your time, just a smaller exchange with a nice trollbox.  Ghash...I remember them.  I guess they quit a year or so before crypto started to take off again.  A lot of coin was mined there.  For some nostalgia https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annbetaexchangerealtime-coinex-realtime-exchange-265277

Coinex must of been before my time. But I remember when I started in 2014 or so, I used Ghash (if that is what it was called) and it was the largest mining pool at the time, there were times when the hashrate was over 51% and people were panicking at one time.

You could mine there , and then you could actually trade your mined BTC for other alts or even fiat (couldn't withdraw however had to buy back like Tether) and from what I remember I don't think you could rent hash. But it was pretty succesful and went downhill shortly after pretty quickly. No idea why. Maybe bad management but I remember they had the nicest layout compared to other pools.

I think nicehash groups all your addies with your email address that you used to sign up with.  As long as your email is the same for old vs new version it should be transfered.  For the repayment....the remaining 12 or so % left to be paid out would probably take a year...They want you to keep mining there   To be honest the new platform isnt bad, I figure they want to be an all stop shop - mining, trading, renting.  meh.  Kinda like Coinex in 2013 where it was an exchange, but they had their own mining pools.  Of course they ran with the money or got hacked eventually

I got that payment my fear is I won't get the next ones.

Edit  In theory I may get them  since they are lower then 0.001

The 20th payment seems to have already disbursed. Did yo see any payment on Monday, September 2, 2019.?

https://blog.nicehash.com/post/twentieth-reimbursement-of-the-repayment-program

You should open a support ticket with them for records.

"...Repayment program for external wallet users

Users who were not registered with NiceHash at the time of the attack and were using the NiceHash service with their external wallet address are also included in the Repayment program. External wallet users can go to the following page and enter their external wallet address (that they were using at the time of the attack) to see their old balance and monitor the repayment progress. NiceHash will reimburse one percent of the old balance to external wallet users on Monday, September 2, 2019.

Seventy-eight percent of the old balance amount was already reimbursed under "Reimbursed pending". Conditions for payment to external wallet addresses do apply to the Repayment program! When you reach 0.001 BTC you are eligible for payment. NiceHash is including your unpaid balance in this amount. For example, if your old balance (that is going to be reimbursed) is 0.0009 BTC, you still have to mine an additional 0.0001 BTC (shown as unpaid balance) to this external wallet address so you reach the payment threshold of 0.001 BTC in total (reimbursed pending + unpaid balance). Once the combined balance shows 0.001 BTC, payment will be made to your external wallet address. NiceHash will only reimburse the funds to the addresses that were in use at the time of the attack. NiceHash cannot repay to any other wallet address as we do not have a KYC process for external wallet users...."

No does not help
My three addresses were not assigned to me my,old nicehash address is empty.

Those addresses were put in by me I have full control of them.  It is not much money about 0.0155 btc is under 200 usd but they seem to have vanished those balances.

If I pick any of those addresses and mine to them I do not see that old stolen balance anymore.
I do see current mining but that is it.

I created a new account under the new platform and there are some info on the old balance blah blah blah.

Hope it helps.

"...This is your new NiceHash wallet page. You have a new Bitcoin wallet address as well as new wallets for multiple other cryptocurrencies. Your old balance from the old platform with matching email address should be transferred and visible under Bitcoin transactions (Old platform transfer).
..."

Yes I got everything out also from  my balanced owed due to the hack. I remember when I mined it was sometime back during the crazy profit days where each GPU made like 1-2$/day. And it was a decent amount that they owed me. Then they got hacked and bitcoin started to crash and I basically forgot about it and just never logged in.

Then when we hit $13K a few months back the BTC owed started to be worth alot and I took the time to login, reset password and finally withdraw the 80% or whatever they repayed and haven't logged in since.

i can't login to my nicehash account even "the reset password for migration to new platform" doesn't work...it is a good thing i took everything that they refunded so far, still I have a very small amount of BTC there (remaining to be refunded).

so nicehash is venturing to an exchange now? what could possibly go wrong? another future hack lol. be careful with nicehash folks.

Anyone on nicehash?  I was wondering  what happens to the money owed me from these 3 addresses


comes to around 0.0155 btc

They say ProgPoW is effective against ASIC's:
https://decrypt.co/9064/ethereums-progpow-algorithm-is-effective-says-audit?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=Feed

The medium article doesn't really tell us much only that the audit is complete. Both the hardware and software audit. All it does is thank a few people and there are 2 links to the audit PDFs.

Reading the hardware audit by Bob tells us


So I am assuming that it means that the hardware audit is in favor of ProgPOW?

Anyone got more hardware experience that can read the article and analyze it better? I just read the conclusion in the last few slides.

Results of progpow audit

ETH has been talking "move to PoS" for years, nothing significant has happened.
I figure they'll take years to make an algorithm change as well, IF it ever happens.

Flash is FINALLY slowly dying, as new sites are largely going with HTML5 instead and some old sites are converting.

THANK GOODNESS.

What will AMD cards mine when  xmr changes to random x and eth changes to progpow?  I know eth devs are tools but I wouldn’t buy a card when a change a few months away might render them useless.

I have 9 Radeon VIIs and I'm thinking about selling them, when xmr changes algos the only thing left will be eth and that will get hammered with xmr rigs switching over.

Agreed. Also, It's possible that other blockchain projects ( ie: NEO Cardano, Holochain, Hedera etc.) will surpass ETH in due course. I have bought a bit of these other projects..but not Hedera (aka: HashGraph) yet. Diversifying  might be a safer path in the long run.

8gb gpu ram...they are past, remember how 3gb and 4gb got out classed? wait for better cards.
