No, it's a mining pool. If you have a miner, you can direct it to Nicehash, and it gives you a proportion of all the pool's mining rewards. This way, it reduces the variance of rewards for individual miners, who may otherwise go months before mining an actual block.


It's not quite a mining pool. You don't solve shares and get it back tied to that share.

You sell computing power for $x/hr, and you get paid $x-%/hr, as two completely unlinked things.
