We just experienced a 23 block chain reorganization, a potential double spend attack on our network - everybody with buy orders on exchanges please pull out now until the exchanges respond with an audit of their databases!

Two good reasons why nobody should support the Nicehash botnet for hire, run by a known convicted criminal.

Anyone who is pro-decentralisation and therefore anti-ASIC, should also be against the centralised Nicehash botnet where every criminal can hire for a short time and therefore basically at zero cost a massive botnet to attack and double-spend, i.e. defraud the community (exchanges, merchants, users). No, these criminals would not be able to buy 25,000 GPUs and set up a huge farm in order to make a double-spend attempt, but at Nicehash they get this for a few hundred bucks.

Let's not forget, the DAA upgrading too started as a result of Nicehash instamining attacks in the early phase of the chain (kudos to that mysterious "user" on slack who kept pushing until the problem was finally tackled Wink

)

Say no to nicehash as you say no to vertical video Grin

Only the dumbest people use the nicehash "miner", i.e. rent out their PCs to a criminal, (and vertical video...)
