      Since last night/early this morning, all yiimp-based mining sites are offline and have had their wallets hacked… zpool, hexpool, altminer, etc.

        So far, a day later, only zpool.ca’s frontend has made it back online. All other yiimps I can find are still offline. :dizzy_face:

            yiimp.ccminer.org, altminer.net, pool.hashrefinery.com all back online. There are likely others, but I haven’t checked them (or they don’t offer neoscrypt coins other than vivo or gun).

            hexpool.com still AWOL. So: starting your own mining pool (or public-facing server of any kind) is one thing, but knowing/implementing security in the aftermath of a hack is quite another. That, and having cold-wallet “insurance” to cover losses. ;)
