After the Ethereum DAO attack. I think it is quite risky to build more farms for mining the Ethereum. It is too risky.

Ethereum has been risky for a while - especially if the recent rate of diff increase keeps going.
It's much less of a risk *IF* you were planning to buy the hardware anyway for another use, and it's no risk if you already have the hardware.
That's the ONLY 2 reasons I have an Ethereum farm at all - I've got OTHER uses for the hardware, or already had it on hand.
Your milage probably differs - not a lot of folks that rank in the top 200 on RC5-72 or top 600 on GIMPS or care to do so. 9-)

If the recent difficulty rise is caused by people using the exisiting hardware, that could be good. That means there are new miners. |

The Nexus Project has CPU and GPU mining channels... along with a variable proof of stake model and trust system for the network. 51% attacks are 100% impossible. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=657601.0 |

The difficulty rise seems to be more attributable to folks adding new rigs - but it's hard to tell for sure without a lot more information than is available. Yesterday, the network hash rate was 4220GH/s, Two months ago, it was 2469 GH/s. one moth ago, it was 3298 GH/s. That is almost 31% rise per month. |

The big miners are still adding new miners, this time it is the RX 480. |

I believe the miners should think about the return of investment (ROI) before they add more mining rigs. |

The ETC is the best to mine at the moment. It is actually 50% more profitable than the ETH. It changed a lot.

Not any more, the ETC price has dropped 40% in the last day. It is not more profitable to mine any more. |

at the end there will be millions of asic devices designed to mine any coins with any algo.
best opportunity for manufacturers.

So it is less profitable to mine now and it is volatile. still slightly more profitable than eth, and it's always better to mine the one were you can accumulate more easily more coins than the other, so i would mine etc |

I have not heard that already there is a asic miner for Etherium. |

Also the Ethereum POW mining algorithm uses a lot of memory, which is more expensive to implement in ASIC. |

The hashing rate rise is mainly caused by the GPU farms. |
