Different algorithms and service locations were differently affected. For some (Sha256 and Scrypt on NiceHash) were almost unaffected, because these most likely had big fat orders with enough of BTC loaded.
Quark on NiceHash for example, was severly affected - I remember the price was 10 times lower than usual when we started web back up, but then in few minutes price went up as buyers started placing new orders.
A lot of buyers do not put a lot of BTC, they rather use refill method every so often. If you check Quark order list now, you can see that not a single order has more than 0.2 BTC as remaining balance. The total hashpower of Quark before outtage was around 50 GH/s and the total when service came back around 30. You can do some simple math to figure out that these slim orders were quickly depletted in hours of downtime.
Also worth to note is that with parameter p= we give every miner an option to stop mining if price falls below this treshold. Not a single other pool has this option. If you do not want to mine for change, you should always set this parameter. Did you use it?
We did not skim or earn any BTC from this unfortunate event. Buyers are paying miners. The only beneficiers of this event are buyers that placed low paying orders. Maybe you should blame them, because they didn't put high enough prices.
Well I did do the math and really didn't have to, since hours remaining for certain orders are listed. But going upon current orders there is no way that within 7 hours the price would go from .5522 BTC/Gh/day to less than .13. Let alone be less than .25 for the majority of those hours. But i guess well never know what orders were in there before the "server crash" unless someone had screenied it. Let alone we don't really know who the ones are who have the low orders that will never be hit on normal circumstances.
Also I still havent received any reply from the emails sent to support from before I ever posted here yesterday. I hope that you guys didnt plan this but I still have removed all my miners from your network to be safe. Something is strange here.
Here is the bottom line what's done is done, if you feel cheated LEAVE because your in the minority.
I seriously doubt if nicehash would take their website offline just to get a few hours of cheap mining that's really a rediculous assumption. I'd be willing to bet nicehash lost more than they gained from the outage. However even if nicehash staff ran the numbers and determined an outage at that particular time would make them more money, (which I highly highly doubt), besides deciding to no longer do business with them there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do about it now. I had 6 rigs on 5 algos running during the outage and although my charts show no hashing being done the orange line showing profit in bitcoins continues to go up at the same pace. As somebody has shown in a previous post showing the orange line before the outage connecting to the orange line after the outage. So although the chart has a blank spot the profits were still increasing at the same rate with maybe the exception of algo's that had high paying orders run out during that time. NiceHash should not and I guarantee you will NOT pay you anything, besides the fact that most can see they were in fact paid correctly, there is no way you can prove that you were mining that entire time and that you should have made x number of bitcoins but you only received y amount. So please just drop it, your wasting your time.
