Maribor, Slovenia, November 16, 2020 - NiceHash, the world’s leading hash-power mining platform and cryptocurrency exchange, will complete the Repayment program on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. This will bring the NiceHash Repayment program to 100% completion!

About NiceHash Repayment program

NiceHash has created the Repayment program for NiceHash internal wallet users and external wallet users that were affected by the security breach that happened on December 6, 2017. At the time, the attackers stole over 4640 BTC when the price of Bitcoin was at around 12,000 USD. The Repayment program started on Friday, February 2, 2018, and 82% of the old balance amount was already reimbursed to all users that were impacted by the security breach and have joined the Repayment program.

Completing the Repayment program

Since the first reimbursement, we have been repaying the old balance to our users through our fees and thus cutting our profits. We wanted to repay all affected users faster but the bear market that followed has slowed down the Repayment program significantly.

We are deeply sorry we were not able to complete the Repayment program sooner. But, we did everything in our power to do what is right and make a good example in the cryptocurrency industry, and set a standard for the time when things go wrong. All users who have supported us through these difficult times have helped us significantly in improving our products and services. NiceHash platform now ranks among the most secure cryptocurrency exchanges!

We have always stated that we are committed to complete the Repayment program and we are happy to announce that we are now able to do so!

Yes, users will get reimbursed in full - all 100%! Save the date, we will reimburse all the remaining funds on Wednesday, December 16, 2020!

Here is a special message from our CEO, Martin Škorjanc:

“Dear NiceHash users! Three years ago we were hurt together, and we healed together. Your loyalty made us stronger, better, more efficient, and I'm profoundly grateful for your support and patience. We kept our promise, and we will repay everything taken from you while making NiceHash safer than ever! Our platform now ranks among the most secure cryptocurrency exchanges! You were there when we needed you the most, and you can count on us to be there for you in the future. We will continue to work hard and diligently, providing the best services possible in our industry.”
