Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

What's a decent wallet for various alt-coin?

None of them. Any of them can and will be hacked. Don’t keep more than you’re willing to lose.

That being said, Coinbase is good. It will be hacked one day, but it’s good now.

I hear there are a few nicehash alternatives, none so easy to use but they support basic algo switching.

Multipoolminer https://github.com/aaronsace/MultiPoolMiner
awesomeminer http://www.awesomeminer.com/
winminer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2004875.0

I havent used any of them and I cant guarantee they wont steal all your wallets and burn down your house.

So technically speaking, where "are" my BTC if I haven't reached the payout minimum for NiceHash to send to the Coinbase wallet I was using? When I viewed the stats page for the NiceHash hosted page for the Coinbase wallet address, it showed a balance, but is that just a dummy page and the BTC were actually in a NiceHash wallet until it triggered the transfer?

I assume it's off in a hacker's wallet at this point. Man, has hacking ever been as lucrative a skillset as now?

You own nothing unless it's paid out from nicehash to some external wallet.

Hacking is not as lucrative as being a CUDA/openCL developer making miners with dev fees imo

From what I've gathered its a Nicehash wallet ID, which is how anybody knows whats "missing" at all. Its definitely not yours until its yours though and if this tanks them, its gone.

if you use minergate make sure you manually choose what coin to mine. The "smart" mining doesnt actually mine what you are best at.

It chose the best for me but I did verify it first just because.
I had to max out the cores and intensity for it to match what I was expecting to see however

for me it just wants to mine monero for $2 a day on a 7700k and 1080ti. If I were to manually set it, what should i be mining?

Im currently checking out winminer. It seems to be most similar to nicehash legacy compared to the other ones I have tried today

Yeah I have $130 sitting in my Nicehash balance. I hope it works out, mostly because Im just used to Nicehash though.

Minergate is kind of weirding me out because it started mining without any wallet IDs or setup of any kind really other than "enter your email address" (not even a password lol). I'm guessing I'll have to cross that bridge when the time comes. Also since this is mining coins directly now I have to deal with converting currencies and poo poo... I hope Nicehash wasn't hacked or if it was, that money was moved out of Nicehash's accounts as a nuclear option to prevent it from being drained.

I too am mining Monero (XMR), but where do you see $2 a day or any daily figure? I'm just doing the math based on my mining rate and using other websites to calculate

winminer is the closest i can find that is like nicehash. the algo switching isnt as aggressive and the amounts seems lower but all signs seem positive so far

it knows to mine eth on my amd card, zen on my nvidia and monero on my cpu which is better than minergate which just wants to do monero on everything

Nicehash posted:

Unfortunately, there has been a security breach involving NiceHash website. We are currently investigating the nature of the incident and, as a result, we are stopping all operations for the next 24 hours.
Importantly, our payment system was compromised and the contents of the NiceHash Bitcoin wallet have been stolen. We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken.
Clearly, this is a matter of deep concern and we are working hard to rectify the matter in the coming days. In addition to undertaking our own investigation, the incident has been reported to the relevant authorities and law enforcement and we are co-operating with them as a matter of urgency.
We are fully committed to restoring the NiceHash service with the highest security measures at the earliest opportunity.
We would not exist without our devoted buyers and miners all around the globe. We understand that you will have a lot of questions, and we ask for patience and understanding while we investigate the causes and find the appropriate solutions for the future of the service. We will endeavour to update you at regular intervals.
While the full scope of what happened is not yet known, we recommend, as a precaution, that you change your online passwords.
We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused and are committing every resource towards solving this issue as soon as possible.

Hope no one was using a Nicehash wallet like was advised in the thread and only loses out on their most recent payout. About $70 lost for me but could be a lot worse.
