Two Weeks After Losing $60 Million in Bitcoin, Nicehash Are Back

In early December, mining pool Nicehash was forced to close after allegedly being hacked, losing almost 4,450 BTC in the process. At the time, those bitcoins were worth around $60 million and they have appreciated substantially since then. Miners who had their newly minted coins stolen feared they were gone for good. To their delight, it’s now emerged that Nicehash will soon be back in business, and they’ll be reimbursing pool members in full.

News of Nicehash’s demise broke on December 6 after the mining pool’s website suddenly went down. This was followed by a Reddit announcement which explained: “Our payment system was compromised, and the contents of the Nicehash Bitcoin wallet have been stolen. We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken.”
