Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I understood that issue rate was going to be lowered, but actually seems a bit better for miners??? |

As block segregation is gonna happen on ethereum this time along with the hard fork. We have to wait till the upcoming fork happening day. After that bitcoin and ethreum cost will move again to flight. Whenever the hard fork or halving implementing, that time dump is usually happen. Don't bother about the difficulty chart bump in the graph. If you fear sell it out. You will surely loose your profit and amount you saved or bought for it. |

Block times also went down by more than 50% from >30 seconds to <14 seconds. Before the Byzantium fork ~10 ETH/min were issued, now ~12+ ETH/min. I would not be surprised to see a hybrid POW/POS implementation sooner than people think. In the last Ethereum developer meeting it was discussed preparation for the POW/POS implementation is at a point where it could be released in the next hard fork, Constantinople, which should be within 6-9 months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN-AtGgtmtA&feature=youtu.be&t=2297 |

It's the result of Byz fork. Block time 30s -> 14s and block rewards 5ETH -> 3ETH.
It made 15%-20% increase in ethereum mining profit.

It's because of the fork. At the day of the fork when the difficulty lowered itself I nearly doubled my ETH income but later that day the reward was lowered from 5 to 3eth per block. It still made a positive uptrend towards ETH/month ratio by 15%. And right now as ETH price is driven down thanks to the Bitcoin Gold, our ETH profits still increase. This is the season to mine ETH!

I do not fear much, I believe in crypto long term and along with mining I also invest. I do not know what effect will have PoS on Ethereum ... either is cheap to produce and therefore price lowers OR there is more demand as the network fees are lower and the price increases. It is unclear to me frankly... any hint? |

Thanks for the clarity. I think bitcoin gold may have effect on Ethereum, but I think the Eth project at the moment has a strong community and some big whales behind. |

It is unclear to me frankly... any hint? It may happen anything dude. Ethereum difficulty chart completely falls down in the graph. I don't know whether you checked it or not. Yesterday bitcoin's value bumped more and now it is settled around 6100 USD, but the Ethereum cost floats down to 287 USD in the chart. Henceforth, we cannot speculate the cost of ethereum until we see the real price at that time. You have to wait till upcoming fork day. |

Have I missing something? I am mining also and seen increase. I was thinking that we'll get lower profit because block rewards will be 3 ETH instead of 5. But it seems to be better  |

I'm not mining directly. I'm using the nicehash pool. I get there and immediately change Ethereum on bitcoin. So I don't follow the price of Ethereum. But I can say for sure that the income from mining in dollars does not change. The higher the price the less bitcoin mined coins but the result is not changed. Only in case if the price goes down we can lose income. In such periods it is better to exchange the coins for Fiat.

I do not need moral support nor preaching, just technical views. I would hire a professional for the former. |

As a result of the update on October 16, the block time was reduced by a factor of 2, which led to a doubling of the difficult.

There is no increase in profit at all, you are blind to the truth. |

Then why did the payout time on ethermine reduce by ~25% or so ? I get .05 shares every 15 hours instead of the 20 before the fork. It's the result of Byz fork. Block time 30s -> 14s and block rewards 5ETH -> 3ETH.
It made 15%-20% increase in ethereum mining profit.
