I think that there are no coins for mining for ASICs on the ETHASH algorithm. Ethereum classic will not withstand the addition of new ASICs and the profit will be minimal, and the owners of video cards will need to look for other coins for mining.
But these ASICs continue to be successfully sold, which means that buyers have other information.
ETCHASH seems be not seriously changed ETHASH. I think it will be possible to reconfigure ASICs from ETHASH to ETCHASH.
And lots of ASICs were pre-paid. May be buyers want to return their money back but will get ASICs.
Ethereum(ETH) hashrate 600Tx
Ethereum Classic(ETC) hashrate 28Tx
ASICs will have no choice for mining after changing Ethereum to the POS algorithm.
They definitely won't go mining dubai coin
100 terahesh will come to Ethereum classic and make the life of GPU miners horrible
Didn't ETC change their algo slightly to prevent ASICs. I remember the E3 didn't work, then they released some firmware and it worked again. So maybe the E3 might work but the newer asics probably will run into the same issue. So the ASICs might not be able to switch, only the GPU miners.
However like you said. There won't be enough miner supply to keep everybody happy. The value of ETC is very low compared to ETH and it just can't remain profitable for long.
I remember when ETC switched algos and I tried mining with my old 3GB GPU, it was barely profitable. Then price increased and it became profitable however this is most likely only temporarily.
