The servers are really very slow here.
Do you have alternate server to mine
Topic: [PPLNS]HackShard 42 Mining Pool - Active Owners & IRC Channel (Read 690 times)
I scanned our database earlier today and detected multiple accounts using the same address for payouts. Total missing coins to this address was less then 1 blocks worth. I forcefully erased the addresses and ap-threshold's from the affected accounts in order to prevent anymore loss of coins. Please check your emails. if you have an email from us you was affected.
Someone stole money from my account on hackshard while I was mining 42. I had no address set on auto payout, had two different accounts one account was forced with a manual payout to my own wallet. The other one got a manual payout to an address that was not mine. How could anyone do that if they did not know my pin?
We recently sent out a mass email concerning what we believe the issue is as well as a plan for solving it. In case you have not yet received the email, here it is:

Dear miners of Hackshard,
Earlier this evening, amid complaints of fraudulent withdrawals from many of our miners, we at Hackshard launched a full investigation into our databases, websites, and other software with the goal of identifying and eliminating the faulty code, hardware, or security. We discovered no fault in the cronjobs, databases, stratum servers, wallets, or any of the other various components of the Hackshard mining pools. While this did confirm that the Hackshard infrastructure was not at fault, our findings hinted at something perhaps even more worrisome. We found that several dozen miners had recently withdrawn to a single address: the same address as that which many of those claiming fraud had presented to us as having stolen their coins. Given the extreme unlikelihood of so many miners being host to the same keylogging virus, and given the complete lack of evidence that our own pools have been infiltrated by malicious agents, we have concluded that the issue could only have arisen from miners using identical login credentials with multiple pools. If this is the case, with a significant portion of our miners having been victims, we further conclude that only one with access to the database of a rather large pool could have been the thief. As such, we request that all miners who have been affected by this theft respond immediately with a full list of pools which they have recently used so that we may attempt to identify the malignant pool. We further request that all pool owners search their outgoing transactions for multiple usernames withdrawing to a few addresses.
We strongly urge everyone to use separate credentials on each and every pool he or she uses and to enable automatic payments.

I apologize that you had some difficulty contacting support. I'm not sure what went wrong with the email, but we strongly encourage miners to contact us on the IRC channel which the website automatically brings up or via Bitcointak private message. Could you send me a message with a description of what problems you have experienced and your username on the pool?

Reliable
Here at HackShard we strive to be the best of the best. We work around the clock to ensure that our pools are running and our miners are happy. We deal with any and all issues as quickly as possible(for example, when all the Earthcoin pools were getting ddosed, we had ours running again within minutes while other pools took hours or days) and it is because of this that we are regarded as one of the best pools around.
Active
We not only direct our efforts to our own pools, but to the altcoin community in general. HackShard has released custom daemon patches to both Lottocoins and Earthcoins, allowing competing pools and solo-miners alike to mine up to twenty times faster than before.
Fast
We pride ourselves in our quick response times to miner difficulties and coin releases. We launched our Earthcoin pool within an hour of the coin's release and had our custom daemon running within three. We actively browse this and other subforums to look for the newest and most promising coins, and make pools accordingly.
