they should keep ethereum on POW IMHO

but the point here is that even if they do that, due to the diff increasing in this stupid way, you would end up not mining anything at the end

so is not even a matter of adding more gpu at this point

I will not add any more GPU at the moment. But some cheap electricity users are adding the GPU at the moment.

the Ethereum network mining difficulty level is 51 T now. It is another all time high. These new miners are very confident.



they are not very confident, they simply can not mine anything else they are forced to stay there

they cannot simply switch to another algo and destroy it, no other coin can sustain even 1/4(probably 1/8, i didn't do the math here) of the etheruem hashrate

You are right. Some miners have already ordered the parts, so they have to build the farm equipment any way.

The difficulty is 55T now. So those miners have ordered too many parts to build the mining farms. Hope they can make some profit.

So these guys think there will not be a mining bomb which was originally to explode some where around November?

Yeah true that.. I am gonna add more GPUs anyway, but will mine the most profitable coin..

Shall we ask the Etheruem developers to let the PoW mining continue for a few more years so that we can protect the network more properly?

That might not be correct. Do keep in mind, that not only the difficulty is increasing, but the value of ethereum is increasing at the same time too. If the cost of ethers keep on increasing


 It didn't - massive collapse in price the last couple days, both vs. Bitcoin and overall. Still profitable for most, but ROI on new gear just became REALLY SUPER iffy at best.



The Etheruem price dropped a lot in the last few days. It is better not to buy the new gear to build mining farms.

Everybody will change the mining to Decred   Cool

That might not be correct. Do keep in mind, that not only the difficulty is increasing, but the value of ethereum is increasing at the same time too. If the cost of ethers keep on increasing with the current rate, there might be a lot more mining left in ethereum, regardless what the mining difficulty becomes.

If the price increase at the same rate as the difficulty, it is profitable to mine if you calculate using the fiat. But it is better to buy the coin instead of mining, you will make more profit.

How much hashrate is enough for solo mining?

If you have very good network connection to the outside world, very low latency, 200MH/s is enough.

What speed is very good connection?

It is mainly the latency to connect to the outside world. If the latency is too high, you will have lots of stale blocks.

depend on what coin you want to mine for ethereum you need something like 400 giga to able to find block on a regular bases

i would say that for any solo you need 1/10 of the hashnet, but some times i do it with 1/20, no more than that, it depend on how much is the block time....
