Something I do not understand NiceHash. At the helm of the company are two brothers of the most famous hackers, programmers of the highest level, and there is such a VOICE accusation against Phoenix. In fact, we only have another disappearance of the program developer (Phoenix) and the blocking of normal download links.
But there is no reason to blame Phoenix for anything. Removed Mega, Like Claymore. Nice took advantage of this fact ... And I do not believe in the good intentions of NiceHash represented by Shkoryants, known as Iserdo. Well, it's not for nothing that at the end of last year they decided to return long-forgotten and rotten debts ..
What I found out so far: NiceHash app downloads Phoenix directly from the MEGA.nz link! (Found in code on Github)
This seems to be safe, by luck: MEGA doesn't seem to allow to modify the file under the link.
That is how they even noticed that Phoenix's MEGA account got banned: users started complaining that Phoenix doesn't download.
Then as some people report NH released Phoenix plugin v15.9. Currently people can't find the miner binary in this plugin, it's empty.
So I suppose NH noticed that Phoenix's MEGA.nz account is banned, they tried to update the link top point somewhere else, then turned it into a PR stunt to push their own miner.
