Silly question: can ETH/ETC be mined with CPU on windows?
Thanks to whoever gives me an answer (and a link to an "official" miner).

Please don't say anything about the low hash rate and such, I will calculate for myself.

No no
ETH not profitable anymore to mine
Except you got free rigs and electricity

true statement, if you pay over 40 cent per kwh of energy. most of us pay 15 cent or less, so ETH mining ist still profitable atm

If you use some kind of undervolting and reduce the frequency of the core or memory, it is still profitable.

Miners tend to overvolt and overclock. That will make their ROI faster if their electricity price is low.,

The difficulty of the ETC+ETH is still rising even at the uncertain times. It seems people are very confident.

profitable if price ethereum up
i think mining ethereum profit with high gpu

The mining of the ETC is some times more profitable when you do the calculation. But when you sell the coins to the exchanges, the price is lower.

You have to sell the ETC as soon as you mine it. But most pool will only send you the ETC several times a day.

technically you are right, but you might as well use a more profitable coin for your machine unless you still really believe in ETC (which I do, but I'm just playing devils advocate here and choosing to point out there are more immediate gains for mining right now)

The ETC is 30% more profitable than ETH to mine at the moment. So the hashing rate is increasing fast.


if many people stop mining the ETH and Start mining ETC, then ETH will become more profitable for a while ?

Probably not, because ETH price will drop.

That was a concern. The Ethereum price is too volatile. It is only profitable if you have cheap electricity.

i think profitable to this moon. because price and fast trend grafik
mining with gpu

It is profitable to mine the Ethereum now. But it is more profitable to mine other coins such as neoscrypt or lyra
I think ethereum is not profitable right now instead they are converting into ETC because they said this is a new version of ethereum.
We know about the issue in dao because of this hackers hack ether that can bring down the price of ethereum..

There are talks about the attack on the ETC at the moment. The price of ETC could drop a lot soon.

right now the hashrate is split at 700GH/3500GH.  you need 21% of the ETH network on the attack pool
if hashrate continue to migrate (lets say 1400GH/2800GH), the attack pool would require 51% of the ETH network in order to 51% attack the ETC network.

You just need the DAO hackers to dump his coins to push down the price below $0.2, 51% will be easy then.

why would he do that? better to wait for the price to increase another 20-30% and for ethereum classic to potentially become the stronger chain (depending on miners). then his coins will be worth much more

What would be the effect on the network of ETH (fork) if miners from ETH migrate to ETC (given the low diff)?

The difficulty of the ETC has increased due to the profitability of mining ETC. So the price of ETC determines its difficulty.

I think some of them will continue to migrate, even with the increase in the diff, because many people think that the ETC price will rise soon.

It is all due to speculation. When the DAO hackers start to dump the coins, the price will slump a lot.
