In the early days of December, the Nice Marine Pool was forced after closure, in the process approximately 4,450 BTC was lost. At that time, these bitcoins were worth about $ 60 million and since then much of the appreciation is miners who stole their new coins are afraid to leave for good.

Goodness arises from the dead
The news of disappearances disappeared on December 6 after the sudden collapse of the website of the mining pool. After this, an announcement was made from Reddy, which states: "Our payment system has been compromised, and the material of goodwash bitcoin Wallet has been stolen. We are working to check the exact number of BTCs."
Many commentators thought that this was the end of the matter, and this incident will be marked as another bitcoin hack, which will not be compensated. In the last 24 hours, though, Nicehash's been back in life. In a message sent to its miners, the company wrote:
We inform you that our service will start today and your money will be refunded! ... We are pleased to announce that we are able to raise the necessary funds to restore the balance of the group of international investors. The old balance will be restored by January 31, 2018. We need this interim period so that it can be ensured that all legal documents are processed properly, so be patient while doing so.
Since the theft, the price of bitcoin has increased by more than 25%, which has reached the value of the stolen coin at around $ 77 million. Nicehash did not specify whether the miners would be paid in fine or bitcoin form, though some pool members said that now the BTC balance is seen in their dashboard, even if the funds are not available for a few weeks.
The company's marketing director, Andrej Skraba said, "You have invested with us - not only your money but also your belief ... we are really sorry for any inconvenience that may be the reason for theft. We hope That you will continue to trust your money and the world's largest crypto-mining market. "

Provided they increase security for preventing such an event from happening again, there is no reason that in a relatively short time the loan can not be paid for the miners, who have lost everything, Renaissance is a good Christmas gift.
