    This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napolean Hill pitch.

    This reminds me of when Louis Rossman said he wouldn't take a sponsorship from a VPN company because there's no way to know how secure the service is without taking a super in-depth look at every piece of what's happening.

      All a VPN is actually good for is to circumvent geoblocking and secrurity in open Wifi. It actually doesnt make you anonymous or safe from the government/police at all. If the government wants to spy on you they will i.e. with fingerprinting, etc.
      If you want to be anonymous then you'll have to use Tor. And even with that your not 100% secure.
      If you want a VPN that you can trust you have to set it up yourself.

    Also, it is important to point out that NiceHash was “hacked” at the peak of Bitcoin last bull market. Then they paid back the Bitcoin in the bear market.
    Hypothetically if they weren’t hacked but instead secretly sold the NiceHash user’s Bitcoin at the peak, then later bought Bitcoin for much less and then paid back the users in Bitcoin, they would have walked away with tens of millions of dollars. While their users missed the chance to cash out at that peak.
    Hypothetically speaking of course...

Common sense would dictate that - if anything you can learn for free is being packaged for a hefty price by experts that you've never seen popularized, start questioning things left and right. I've seen some mindvalley garbage and dug into their Glassdoor reviews etc and people have heavily criticized the work environment and the pseudo intellectual shallow courses they offer. It's not illegal or a scam but basically getting people to buy into shit that's out there for free. 🙄 I might as well start a youtube channel and target them first 😂

    This isn't all they've done, there's also a bunch of other stuff:
    - Nicehash recently claimed (falsely) that Phoenix Miner, a well known mining software, was malware, and said to use their own miner. The miner was pulled because of Mega's new policy regarding mining software, not because of malware. They also did a similar thing in the past with Claymore Miner.
    - It's been speculated that Nicehash "hacked" themselves, and essentially pulled an exit scam. They didn't refund small balances (I know this from personal experience), and did not refund people until after the crypto market had already crashed.

      His channel has also done a few videos with incredibly clickbaity thumbnails that were effectively pointless. The one that got me the most was one titled "How Nvidia gave consoles the middle finger" or something to that effect. It was basically stirring the pc Vs console crap and literally explained nothing on the topic nor added anything to the conversation. It wasn't even a sponsored video. It sounds like a minor thing but it's these little things that have lately rubbed me the wrong way about LTT's channel.

      @samsong samsong This just shows how clueless you are, if it wasnt profitable people wouldnt be doing it massivly. Pretty much every miner will optimize (mostly undervolt core and OC memory, it literally takes 2 mintues to do it, you dont have to be an "IT professional") their GPU for efficient mining, so in the end mining becomes less of a workload for GPU than gaming which boosts your core frequency way past that any reasonable miner would do. Also keep in mind that while you re gaming, your GPU load is going up and down all the time as you enter loading screens/alt tab to something/if you cap your fps... so your fan speed and temps are all over the place compared to a steady temp/fan speed that mining will do. A graphics card isnt a fucking car and doesnt have any moving parts so it works just as fine after 6 months of mining as it did brand new, at most you just have to replace thermal paste. Also most modern graphics cards will give you 2/3 years of warranty and there is no actual way to tell if a GPU mined or it was used for gaming (not that mining is illegal) so you re just talking nonsense.
      At the time of writing this you can earn 9-10$ a day mining ethereum with an RTX 3080. In 3 months you can make your money back and you pretty much got yourself a free graphics card at the very least.

Then I noticed that all my desktop icons had turned white and I couldn't start discord, windows settings or anything. I don't know if I caught a virus while I unabled my anti-virus to download nicehash or I'd I did something wrong. Right now I'm running a full computer scan and I really need help to gt my computer back to normal please help me. Thank you.

    Thanks. I just installed the Nicehash miner, and noticed that AVG kept blocking certain files, (while I was mining) from opening due to malware

      All crypto software does that. It’s not malware.
