yes it is, but its also got really hard since the difficulty raise up that much and the DAO was attacked.

regards

The difficulty is already 54T, another all time high. The miners are so confident that the price will rise further.

Maybe the big owners of the Ethereum are also miners themselves. That is the reason why most miners support the soft fork.

That could be a good thing. Does it also mean the miners will also support the hard fork if they want to recover the loss?

They will definitely support the hard fork if they are also the owner of the DAO. They will save themselves.

The big players of ethereum don't need to mine, they bought the coin when it was cheap and have millions now.  The softfork also will not pass because they discovered a vulnerability in the code that is suppose to cause problems for the miners and possibly blockchain but im not 100% on that.  The big pools will accept a fork once something stable is proposed in hopes that it will be bullish to the market and raise the price.

The Ethereum devs really are screwing up big time.  How they can propose a fork that has further problems is beyond me unless they want to crash the market.

They still have 14 days to solve the soft fork problem and implement it. I hope the new one does not have the problems.

I am mining with the 280X at the moment. It seems in 2 months, my mining operation will not be profitable.

If you use the default clocks and do not undervolte, you will not be profitable. If you use undervolt, one more month.

For high electricity price place, it is getting harder week after week to be profitable. The difficulty is too high.

 That's why I am moving (and others have already moved) to a land of VERY VERY low electric rates.

There wont be any forks...I don't believe any change to asic's either...If you tell gpu miners your all done if you don't go out and buy asic's that coin will die. For this coin to stay on the road to the moon it must remain a gpu coin and unforked...

Another point I would like to make is that I don't think Eth devs should look at Eth as a coin that has to go above and beyond bitcoin in order to be a success. Bitcoin is the KING of asic mined coins. IMO Eth should stay the KING of gpu mined coins. Any other philosophy, I think, will bring it down... If a hoard of Eth gpu miners suddenly changed coins let say to Expanse it wouldn't take long for Expanse to become the new gpu King.

Ugh Wolf there was no King in place at the time of bitcoin's. Now there is a king and to stand on his playground you have to compete on a level in which he has a 6 year head start. Forget it and accept the lessor crown...

Coinprice and difficulty is to low / high at this moment to mine profitable eth.

That's why BTC is dead today. Oh, wait...

I agree with the point that the bitcoin has to evolve and improve in the future to attract more users.

Bitmain CEO said 30-40% of the miners are sold out of China. So maybe there are more Western miners now.

PoW's endgame is centralization. Get used to it.

For the GPU PoW, it will be mostly centralised. But there are many people in different parts of the world, it is still a little bit decentralised.

That is the reason I like the GPU coins. The proportion of the big farms is much lower than the ASIC coins.

Your exactly right.  Only way to be decentralized is if we all have access to equal resources.  Power asics cheap labor etc.  since that isnt the case what is the point of all this again.  For me its get what I can while I can because I see this all comin down in a ball of fire!  Great experiment but will have to do better next time!

The more I ponder the more I realize why satoshi left and doesn't want to be known.  I imagine if this does go belly up. He won't be too popular!

Compared to Ethereum, bitcoin is much simplier. If there is anything wrong with bitcoin, we should know it several years ago.

That is right. The Ethereum is too complex. It is still quite new. I think there will be more bugs to be found.

There is no wrong with bitcoin and i think bitcoin still the best to choose than choosing altcoin ethereum because the movement price of bitcoin is fast .
Ethereim is profitable if you have a good GPU mining.

GPU or ASIC...it makes no difference once the farms start mining.  In Ethereum it only takes 3 of the major pools to make decisions on a specific fork for the entire network.

Bitcoin is same.

Crypto is centralized where the few decide the fate of the many, decentralization is an illusion.
