Nicehash excavator doesn't charge any fee, so they don't make more money from removing Phoenix.
The question is what happened really? Why nicehash is not explaining what did they actually compare to get "different hashsum" on their end.
Because Phoenix we use (from end of January) got exact same hashsum as posted in opening post in this thread.
This is utter garbage for noobs. What checksums did they even compare when the link is down?
Why do they even need checksums, don't they have a copy of PhoenixMiner 5.5c? It was released 3 moths ago.
NH has been distributing PhoenixMiner 5.5c for almost 3 months.
The rest of the evidence of "suspiciousness" is ridiculous and is based on the dev not visiting Bitcointalk.
