Small miners like me today lose hundreds of dollar because of nice-hash shutdown. first of all , i thought it might be a small maintenance job. I started hesitating on the site to make sure the service was back, but nothing happen yet.
After a little effort or searching on the internet, i discover the disaster; $60M was hacked from nicehash account according to reddit.com :

$60M in Bitcoin from users wallets transferred to a single wallet. With no communication whatsoever from NH we are left with the sobering reality they were hacked and $60M worth of users (both buyers and sellers) Bitcoin was stolen. I don't see any way NH will be able to cover these losses.
If this is all as bad as it looks, NH will quietly shutter, users will cry and gnash teeth until the class action lawsuits come.

There is nothing to be done as i have personally lose more than $200 of mining reward. At the moment i went back mining ETH and DCR with low profit income.

Are you mining with a pool or minergate? Curious to know as I am starting to find new ways to mine too. Thanks.

I am mining on pools now, but befor I was mining with nichash
I do mining for ethereum ,dash and LTC

Damn that's some bad news buddy I am sorry for you.

Thanks mate, it is a bad day fr me.

That is truly sad news. This is one of my personal favorite mining pool. Man how can they let that happen.

And we do not know the impact of this on the market yet, however all coins are in red color except BTC.

I am expecting a correction with BTC soon :)

Very Good news. Thanks
