Ethereum Byzantium hard fork LIVE

[itzybitzy]

Yeah block time is shorter now but block reward is lower.

Curious to see how long ETH stays profitable for us miners.

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

Ethermine calculator is wrong but  https://whattomine.com/coins/151-eth-ethash is more or less fine.


Edit:
The ethermine calculator has also been corrected, now work fine.

My stale shares on "eu1.Ethermine.org:14444" are going crazy. Yesterday 5, 6, 7 max. Today 9, 10... It's crazy! Somebody has noticed this increase in stale shares? Any solution? Is for Byzantium fork?

[szafa]

Byzantium not create any other coin?

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!

it is better for time being until difficulty catches up
then we will be back to what it was before

difficulty already back to where it was , we are making around 10% more than before

Yes. Kinda 10-15 percent for now. I hope they wouldn't switch to proof of stake soon.

I cant see proof of steak coming soon, too much money is being made with ETH at the moment

Totally agree. And they might risk a hard fork if they switch. I am sure that there will be a big part of the community who will want to mine further.

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.

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/

Oh, so it's a long road ahead still.

Thought it was going to come live much sooner.

I don't yet notice rewards and profitability to go up in Nicehash. Probably only direct pools like Ethermine and direct miners like Claymore notice an increase in profitability for the moment.

What is your actual increase in daily profitability in Claymore miner in bitcoins per day or Ethereum per day ? I would love to see some data before I switch from Nicehash to dedicated miner like Claymore.

[KryptoCoach]

ah it s to early for POS I think. even more 2-3 years, then it would be good

[leonix007]

Seems the upgrade is not yet completed and have some bugs, hopefully mining is not affected with this.

Using Nanopool, my estimated monthly income went from 130eur to 188eur (miner speed 140Mh/s). I would say it's a pretty nice jump in income!

My profit goes from 0.73 to 0,83 ETH a month aprox. Be patient, ethereum price will increase of course. PoS is will delaying for 1-2 years I think. Hold and wait!
