Damn it, lost a day of troubleshooting. After the whole NiceHash thing I started mining other coins, tried SGminer for ETH for a few days just to see.

 

But somehow SGminer started to crash my display drivers (it was at first) and then the GPU would mine at it's idle speeds (300Mhz core and mem) ... couldn't figure out what was happening until I started running the benchmark with Afterburner open beside it (before that I would only check the GPU clocks after the hash rates went down the drain).

 

I was scratching my head trying to figure out why my HD 7870 hash rates were down to 1/6th of what it used to be, switched back to Claymore and everything is back to normal! xD

 

Not sure what's up with SGminer, seems some people (like me) have problems with it and their AMD cards but I couldn't find an easier solution than not using it! (there are solutions using older drivers but that seems overly complicated since I would have to download them and start playing with drivers install and uninstall).

    Well, you could always just start using Nicehash again.  My profit has gone up compared to before the hack. 

    The only real issue right now is the higher treshold for payouts to external wallets, but that'll sort itself out once the transaction costs drop back to reasonable levels.

    I might switch back after my next payments. For now I'm mostly mining ETH with my old 7870 and I'm using WinMiner on my desktop when it's idling.

    i stopped mining and just buy like $1k in bitcoin when it goes to 12-13k then i sell it when it goes back up to 15-16k, slowly making like $10-$13 a time lol i made like $8 a week mining so this works the same but faster.

    @CryptoMatt that's the next step, I've already opened accounts with 2 different exchanges and plan on starting soon :P
