Crazy jump in ethereum difficulty in the past 12 hours 08/25/2017 another "Dbomb

[frankbuse]

I just switched to ETC mining, because of diff. Etc is more profitable now for rx580 setup...
ETC development is working on Pos but no time soon, so mining will be profitable for long periode.
ETC development is picking up, I heard 3 teams working their ass off at the moment and I expect a few announcements soon also logowise

Eth diff  seems to go down a bit now at 2100 though from peak 2300 if it goes down to 2000 I am switching back to Eth.... But I don't think that's ever gonna happen.

Remember ETC was max at 40%  of price ETH and is now only 5% so we have good things coming our way...

Any rough dates as to when ETH will switch to POS?

[xxcsu]

NO one know for sure

I think it is fact now, 3ETH per block, 15 sec block time around 1500T difficulty.

ETH mining is more profitable now than it's been for awhile.  And the difficulty bomb is postponed for over a year! 

Yeah block reward was cut from 5 to 3 but block time is now 15 seconds instead of 30.  Win win.

But something happen according to what to mine, it is not so good as 12h before, do you have idea?

Nope nothing happened. After the Byzantium fork, i think calculators was still calculating 5 eth rewards per block instead of 3 eth reward per block. I also got excited when i seen the major jump in estimated profitability. Joke on me though, now the calculator will give you a more accurate earning.
