All my mining rigs use NiceHash as their base mining application.
Since yesterday many parts of the application were either not working or showing incorrect information.
This made me super paranoid until I saw this from the NiceHash Admin:
Our service is facing massive growth, and our team is working hard to ensure the platform's stable operation. Due to high growth, we are facing some challenges that need periodical maintenance.
They have assured that:
You are still getting paid for every share, so there is no need to disconnect the mining rigs! Check your wallet for mining payments, and you will see that payments are executed as scheduled.
This has given me a bit of relief and I am still continuing without stopping my rigs.
They have also advised that:
NiceHash Miner will lose unpaid balance information for some time! This is a necessary step to improve stability and you can always check your unpaid balance online!
Based on what they have said this is a result of:
- Bitcoin's new all-time high
- Spike in the number of transactions on the blockchain
- Withdrawals will be delayed
- Additional maintenance will be there in the following days
