Is GPU mining profitable after the Ethereum Merge?
The Ethereum merge is the upgrade from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake as a way of validating block transactions on the network. What is the future of GPU mining?The future of GPU mining depends upon miners’ willingness to continue mining alternative GPU mineable cryptocurrencies. Mining, the foundation of PoW cryptocurrencies, may continue to flourish, given that energy costs are low for GPU miners. Moreover, the application of graphics processing units beyond mining, including graphics designing, gaming and video editing, make them ideal for fixed capital investment. Also, when one....

It seems that some GPU owners have resorted to selling power to non-crypto projects following the Ethereum Merge. It’s been nearly two weeks since Ethereum made its historic transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, and some ex-ETH miners say they remain clueless on how to move forward. Following the Merge, many took to crypto Twitter to discuss what they believe will happen to these former Ethereum miners. On the day of the merge, Twitter user hashoveride tweeted: GPU #mining is dead less than 24 hours after the #merge. Here are the three largest #GPU chains and current daily....
Mining profits of the PoW cryptos have gone into the negative following the Ethereum merge as ETH miners flood the hashrates of these other coins. Mining Profits Of Popular Proof-Of-Work Cryptos Like Ethereum Classic Crater After The Merge A couple of days ago, the much awaited ETH merge finally arrived and transitioned the network into […]
Since the transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS), ethereum cannot be mined and miners are now dedicating hashrate to different PoW chains. Since ethereum can no longer be mined, the most profitable PoW consensus algorithms are Kadena, Scrypt, and Cuckatoo32. Five days ago, before The Merge, the consensus algorithm Ethash was the most profitable, as the top miner raked in $79.53 per day in profits. Today’s top mining rig, with Ethereum out of the picture, accrues roughly $69.41 per day mining kadena. Today’s Top 7 Mineable PoW Algorithms Include Kadena,....
According to Ethereum developer Tim Beiko, The Merge is likely to be pushed to the third quarter of 2022. Despite the delay, Beiko also said he “strongly suggests not investing more in mining equipment at this point.”
The Merge May be Delayed, Ethereum Hashrate Taps New ATH
Four days ago, Bitcoin.com News reported on ethereum miners hashing away at the blockchain at great speeds just before The Merge happens. The Merge is the name of Ethereum’s upcoming transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to a full proof-of-stake (PoS) system. On April 7, 2022,....
Merge is the currently awaited upgrade on the Ethereum blockchain. With the launch of Merge, the network is expected to migrate from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This would finally remove the mining process entirely from the Ethereum blockchain. Hence, transaction validation will solely depend on staking after the upgrade on the […]
