Ethereum Byzantium hard fork LIVE

[sevenmiles]

"Ethereum Core Dev team is implementing Metropolis Byzantium
https://np.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/6ywlxg/update_from_todays_ethereum_core_dev_call_for/
, which will:
Metropolis Byzantium hits testnet on September 18th
Difficulty Bomb on September 22nd will reduce current income by approximately 20%
Metropolis Byzantium go live on October 9th (not a final date, subject to change)
Mining rewards will increase by approximately 23% after Metropolis Byzantium goes live"

I didn;t see 20% increase...

Did someone experience a hard drop in valid shares ?? Running claymore + ethermine

I did not touch anything.... 15 hours ago Many Many  ethermine pool switches happened , failovers, current hashrate divided by 2, very high rejected and stale shares... on my 7 rigs... I'm using eu1.ethermine.org  on port 14444 and 4444

Need help atm

I noticed that too, so much stale shares on Ethermine (port 14444), before yesterday 0, 1, 2, or 3 max., today 5, 6, 7...

[Yohow]

I got more stale shares I'm the only ?

I got more stale shares too, eu1.ethermine.org 14444 + Claymore v10.0

Has anyone really seen increased mining rewards after Byzantium?

Still no payout from ethpool here , They keep moving the goalposts

yestday it said i was 6 hrs from finding a block now its over a day

Im almost hoping the profitabilty goes down so we can all give a big fuck you to the eth dev team and move
our hash to bitcoin gold, such a large block reduction was a slap in the face

[szafa]

Did not get,before or now is more profitable?

[Trofo]

If ethermine calculator isn't lying I am seeing quite nice increase in ETH. I am mining with small nvidia rig. Will have to test myself to see what's correct numbers at the end of month.

Yes, stale shares on Ethermine have increased a lot. The problem is claymore  or ethermine?

Any idea when the PoS upgrade will go live?

I'm kind of holding all of my ETH to free myself from this neverending mining race.

[Chan8]

My stale shares % also went up a  it. But nothing alarming. Still hovering around 7% stale shares.
But also my estimated profits has went up quite a bit. I hope this stays or moves up a bit more.
Overall pretty happy with the results of the hard fork. Maybe im missing something. But really hoping this is permanent and not miners falling off at the moment.

There is basically 2 phases left for ethereum.

Constantinople - end of 2018

then

Serenity - Date unkown. This will convert Ethereum to POS then mining is over for Ethereum

You can read a bit about the phases of Ethereum here https://etherbasics.com/the-basics/phases-of-ethereum/

Ethereum team/CEO are allays false/liars. It is not from today but since quasi the begining.
Ethereum PoS ? we are waiting about it since 2 years : the promise was for "end 2015".

Meanwhile, just because I was curious, I tried to switch one of my RX570-rigs from Monero back to ETH again just for the giggles. So bearing in mind I was hashing at 29MH/s per card back in the days (and I have NOT updated to the blockchain drivers) I was curious to see what hashrate I would get now...



Well, a whopping 24.5 MH/s per card.

Ouch.
No time to update drivers and stuff. Back to mining XMR!

[Bitcoin2theEnd]

So many forks happening

[mrdenis]

I did not notice any drop in hashrate (using Claymore miner). Just rise in the mining calculation 

It will probably good to mine ETH now for another 3-5 months, then we will have the same problem as we had before Byzantium fork. Later on PoS will be on the menu for sure... I hope another good project (coin) will be revealed by then

Honestly i think the calcualtors are way off , I think they are not accounting for the drop in issuance from 5 to 3, and only taking the reduced block times into account.

I say this becase on ethpool i have been following this one miner, his hashrate is 12GHs, and he just now found another block.

His next estimated block is 3 days away solo mining , dividing 30/3days that means he will find 10 blocks approximately this month which is

30 eth ?

http://ethpool.org/miners/3e638b01e2846905982C8aC15Fa6Ae0710B29ea2/blocks

but according to the calulator he will make 90ish eth this month , something doesnt smell right to me man

either way he was making 50 eth a month before so if i am right he is now making far less than he did before

30 seems low so what i did is multiply his 94 eth on thier  calculator times .6 ( drop from 5 eth to 3) and I get 54 eth

I think thats his true payout.

so basically he gained only 4 eth from before the fork and the dificulty bomb , not quite the 12-20% they promised lol

I got more stale shares too, eu1.ethermine.org 14444 + Claymore v10.0

im in ethermine too, stale shares up to 2% to 5% fucking hardforks

[Pennywis3]

Ethermine calculator if way off thats for sure.
I'm nowhere near 10 Eth/month as the calculator wants me to believe 

[huntingthesnark]

I think that calculator point is correct, but having said that my time to payout is plummeting faster than before (by c.50 hours) so far, so reckon the real figure is in the middle somewhere.

Better, but not quite as good as the calculators say - here's hoping though!

Hello guys!

My rigs are mining more Eth after the hardfork.

From 0,042 Eth daily to 0.052 Eth daily after the fork. So it is better!
