Title: What coin to mine when Ethereum goes to proof of stake?
Post by: Swimmer360 on January 02, 2022, 08:24:18 PM
Hello, I am just wondering what everybody plans on doing when ethereum goes to proof of stake?

sell equipment? rent out hash power? move to other coins? build some gaming pcs and sell them?

Eth is not going POS anytime soon.

at the moment

the eth network is using about 10 million 3080's

10          3080's        = 1gh
10,000   3080's        = 1th
100,000 3080's        = 10th
1,000,000 3080's     = 100th
10,000,000 3080's   = 1000th

10,000,000 x 1000 = 10,000,000,000 billion in gpu sales.  more likely 15 billion maybe 20 billion

I think that Nvidia, AMD ,Intel do not want eth to end pow

We discussed this thread twice in past weeks

I agree with philipma1957, ETH POS is not close yet, even if they delayed difficulty bomb to june 2022, I think they will delay again, ETH is not ready

I think that Nvidia, AMD ,Intel do not want eth to end pow

I don't know Intel, but AMD and Nvidia have tons of money since 2017 because of mining

Both companies probably earned more money than 4 or 5 generations of only gaming cards
