I've got a 1070, and heat that pays me sounds legit when I'm not gaming. My only concern is safety, I get that my wallet can get hacked and Ill lose my butts. But how insecure is nicehash for the rest of my pc? My level of paranoia currently is I use a vpn, that's it.

But how insecure is nicehash for the rest of my pc? There is no evidence of it, thats the best we'll get. Its definitely not in their interest to poo poo the bed since Nicehash is a literal money printing machine and source code is provided. We've been over this before in this thread where that only matters if someone checks it, bottom line there is no guarantee.

Well, its right, it certainly is a miner and im glad windows picks up on that but it is annoying You can use the legacy miner if you dont want to whitelist nicehash.exe

I mean in a serious note there are programs that will change the location that the bitcoins are sent too. Since cpu mining is long dead and gpu mining still fringe it is unlikely, but yeah you can get hit and all your mining addresses will change to the hackers.

No big deal

If I'm just getting into this whole thing, and literally just got a Coinbase and installed NiceHash miner, am I hopelessly way late to the party after reading the OP - like, can I feel free to ask questions now, or should I go back and read through this whole thread? I feel like crypto moves so fast, it's hard to tell what's still relevant information.

Due to a bug, 1 million ETH (roughly $280 million) have become frozen in wallets, making it impossible to transfer Ethereum funds out of them. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/11/with-deletion-of-one-wallet-280-m-in-ethereum-wallets-gets-frozen/

There is no such thing as the cloud, only other people's computers. And in this case the computer belongs to some Russian guy whose last name sounds like some kind of drug.

Coincidentally, Nicehash is also a wallet The point is that people were making the argument that open source software is bug-free and definitely not malicious, because other people will have definitely found anything suspicious already

Themage posted:Buttcoin and security don’t belong in the same page I've been a casual holder of Bitcoin since about 2014. Not a lot of money, but never had a wallet hacked. I've used electrum for PC (Windows and Linux) and various Android wallets. Would you care to elaborate how easy it is to get your wallet hacked? I once had my PayPal hacked a couple of years ago, via eBay keeping the PayPal account unlocked after I'd bought something. I got the money back after assuring eBay/PayPal that I never bought those $150 shoes and that I'd never heard of the address they'd been delivered to. Never lost a single Satoshi when it comes to Bitcoin, though.

So my new Ryzen 1700 @ stock speeds mines butts via Nicehash at about the same rate as my 970 did. Maybe I should have gotten a Threadripper after all

Hackers are on the look out to do poo poo to steal bitcoins and other poo poo there is a reason why they estimate that every bitcoin in circulation has been stolen at least once.
