Whats your memorable ETH mining moment....

I can't say I have any one moment in particular that is memorable with ETH. I mined some early on. I was airdropped a bunch that I still hold. I've used some to play around in the metaverse and with NFTs. I really like ETH, but the gas fees have always been a deal breaker for me. That's why I've sort of embraced MATIC as the coin I like to play around with these days. Getting airdropped a bunch of ETH definitely sent me down a fun path of exploring what can be done with crypto besides holding/spending it. I guess the education on tokens and smart contracts as a result would be what I would find most memorable. Without ETH I would never have learned how to mass produce generative art or write a smart contract.

You know, you have the same thought as I, to share some memories about ETH

I started to mine ETH when I was looking for a new GPU, an RX 480 XFX, I took a look at some foruns about hardware and saw some guy talking about buying a couple of GPUs, and I thought "Oh my god, I only have money for a card and this guy is buying more than one", but I started to dig more and found about ETH mining, this is the breakpoint for me.
When my card arrived I started to learn everything about mining, ETH, BTC, rigs, riser etc.
In a few weeks I was mining with more cards, at my peak I had more than 20 GPUs mining, and to me, earning money and having such powerfull cards like 1080ti was a dream Cheesy

After the crash of 2018 I felt really bad, ended with a bag of coins worthing nothing, but I had diamond hands at least, and today I have some coins from the past, sold only a few coins in last bull run.

It's a sad day for all of us miners, but we can still have hope of another coins, another bull market, another proof of work coins...

This might be the end of eth altogether not only mining, I myself will not invest in this anymore, pos uses the analogy, the rich gets richer, eth will be a lot more centralized than ever before and eth was already centralized in POW, imagine in POS ehhe

We are approaching a historical moment for crypto, the merge is imminent in a few hours, mining will change radically many will abandon this activity, others will move on to mine other altcoins, i see 2 possible secenaries for the eth after that no one will be interested in eth anymore and its value will collapse or everyone will want to buy it for the stake and its value will become priceless, we'll see

Wow so many moments.

Still have 2 frozen eth coins rendered inaccessible due to the dao hack.

As to what is the biggest or best moment I simply don't know.

Maybe it is yet to come when etc moons at 400 usd next week and eth crashes to 400usd.

I would love to see etc flip eth so I vote for that to be my best moment in eth.

it is yet to come but happens before dec 2022.

or not. Wink

I would love see that too so some people will understood pos is nothing.at least pow has value.
I started in 2017 i had good pc with 1060 on it then i bought some rx470 all night i spent for rx470 to get 26mhs then 29 something it was happy moments.

My most memorable moment was when someone sent a transaction with a crazy high transaction fee in the millions of USD and ethermine hit the block and my pending balance jumped like crazy! a couple of day's work in a minute (if I remember correctly).

Go to Google and type "the merge", currently about 14hr 38 mins to go...

Lets share our memories of when we first started to mine ETH.

I started in Feb 2016 because my Antminer ASICs were getting boring. I had tons of GPUs sitting and collecting dust from the Litecoin/Dogecoin 2014 days. Figured this Ethereum might take off and decided to switch over my mining. Turned off my Bitcoin ASICs and went back to full GPU mining again.

Back in 2016, there was no Claymore miner. You had to use the crappy ethminer which came with the ETH client software, and it sucked. I remember every time there was a new DAG, all my rigs froze. Every single time. I had to set alarms to manually restart the mining every 5 days when the DAG change happened.

There was also no remote monitoring back then. The only type of monitoring that was possible was with the pool. Some pools sent you an email and alerted you when a rig went down. However 50% of the time I never got any emails.

Then there was the DAO hack. I had tons of ETH I was holding and then when the hack happened I ended up selling at a crappy price because there was bad publicity how the coin is going to die. I think I sold at the lowest price ever at the time. Oh well...
