On October 30, NiceHash announced the end of support for Russian users due to the current geopolitical situation. Similar restrictions may affect other pools, so it is worth choosing from those where users from Russia are a priority. One of the good alternatives to Nicehash is the Kryptex project, and another excellent choice is the EMCD service.
According to the Nicehash developers, the service is moving to its new home - Crypto Valley (Zug, Switzerland). And these changes will help them comply with global regulatory standards and maintain the security and reliability of the platform. But, unfortunately, they will also entail several significant changes.
Starting November 12, 2024 11:00 UTC, Nicehash will no longer be able to support users from Russia. This will affect all accounts with Russian IP or KYC and will affect all of the company's services, including the ability to mine cryptocurrency on the NiceHash platform.
These are the words the developers ended their official statement with: "It was not an easy decision for us to make. We hope that in the future, geopolitics and related regulations will change in such a way that you can become our customers again..."
To prevent Russian users from facing such problems in the future, a good option would be to switch to the well-known Kryptex service.
Or you can try one of the top 10 pools in the world EMCD with a hashrate of over 17 EH/s and a developed ecosystem. There is 24/7 support in Russian, firmware and even a savings wallet to increase mining profitability. The pride of this project is the largest Russian-speaking mining community in Telegram.
