OMG What has happened to the SHA256 rental price? The price is ridiculous! Has something happened to BTC? Or maybe a new coin?
LOL, I came here just to ask the same question!! And btw, does nicehash/westhash have an IRC chan?
A new altcoin dropped I believe.

You would think. Nobody I know knows anything about it.
Another possibility is there is going to be a big announcement about an existing coin and they don't want to tip it off on the exchanges. But that should show up as an unexplained difficulty increase.
I don't care what it is.....multiple days of xx% instead of x% is just fine with me.

That's the way I feel. Hope they make money too.
Before the price increase prices were low and I was buying some too, and I got skunked so bad on my pool! It's like a jinx. Pools should pay me to
not put rental hash on them!
