With Nicehash being down for "maintenance" there has been some speculation about an odd bitcoin transaction which happened right around the same time.
A wallet which started out with a balance of .01 BTC yesterday, had a very large influx equaling 4736.42 BTC which is 59,789,855.35 USD.
for those interested, here is the wallet

Pretty crazy amount right?
The rumor that NH had been hacked has been floating around on the discord since early this morning, which spread to twitter then facebook.
I had an alternate thought tho, while it is a stretch, what if there was something that went wrong on the back end and they had to do an Oh Shit maneuver and just yank everything out to a safe location?
here is to hoping that we hear something soon.
I know that the internal NH wallets wont necessarily appear on the blockchain, so actually looking up if your BTC still exists is kinda not going to happen. I had .01 BTC on there, which sucks but really not that huge of a loss, Fortunately the bulk of my stash is kept in a hard wallet.
Guess its time for me to switch to another platform. I liked NH because... well... Im lazy and very new to the scene. Lesson learned and time to move forward.
