I think another mistake they made (assuming it doesn't turn out to be an inside job) was not changing the payout thresholds to keep up with the price of BTC. The weekly 'pot' must've been getting larger and larger. When I first started using NiceHash, you would receive a payout if your earnings exceeded 0.1 BTC before the scheduled weekly payout day. 0.1 BTC back then was around £100 or less, presently it's over £1,000. I was averaging about £500 per week, so I was probably up to about £400 at the time of the hack. Can't complain I guess; my miners are heating the house regardless. I've really just lost a few day's earnings.
Presently I'm using Prohashing for my L3+ miners, KanoPool for my S9 and poolmining.org for my D3. I've just started trialling WinMiner for my GPU rigs -- seems ok so far but I'm not sure if the earnings are as high as they were on NiceHash.
