I suspect such long term scenario: ETH will jump into PoS in 2017, as planned ETC will stay at PoW ("ethereum core" miners will jump into it) that will be quite funny to observe this battle...  |

PoW is proof of work, am I right?
What is PoS?

Proof-of-stake (PoS) is a method by which a cryptocurrency blockchain network aims to achieve distributed consensus. While the proof-of-work (PoW) method asks users to repeatedly run hashing algorithms or other client puzzles to validate electronic transactions,[1] proof-of-stake asks users to prove ownership of a certain amount of currency (their "stake" in the currency). Peercoin[2] was the first cryptocurrency to launch using proof-of-Stake. Other prominent implementations are found in BitShares, ShadowCash, Nxt, BlackCoin, NuShares/NuBits and Qora. Ethereum has planned a hard fork transition from PoW to PoS consensus. Both Peercoin and Decred[3] hybridize PoW with PoS and combine elements of both consensus approaches in an attempt to garner the benefits of the two systems and create a more robust notion of consensus.

In the short term ETC will absorb some of the ETH hash rates so profit will last a bit longer.
As a miner I don't see a negative.

you can mine with many rigs against single worker, maybe that's the answer |

Multiple rigs all set up to point to the same worker.
I could easily have a "250MH" worker if I reset my current mining setup that way.

He might use a proxy. All his miners point to that proxy. That proxy connect to the mining pool. That is it. |

There has been NO sighting of a legit ASIC for Ethereum - and given how soon they plan to go to PoS, I doubt there will ever be one. |

What a great plan from ETH devs that they convert into POS instead of POW..
Well better to mine ETC if it will happen..

I do not see ETC taking over the game from ETH, the coin's popularity is due to the reputation ETH has built over time and ETH developers will definitely not allow their coin to slide to second place.

Does anyone know what is going to happen with the "ETC" when the original PoW phase end?
