2Miners Crypto Mining Blog

In 2020 we posted one of the most read articles on our website. It is called Confessions of a Miner: How Much I Made in a Few Years of Mining. In the past two years over a thousand people were reading it daily. The author, an anonymous member of the 2Miners chat, has reached out to us asking to post his new article. It’s about the upcoming end of Ethereum mining and the future of cryptocurrency miners.

This summer the most well-known ASIC miner producer Bitmain released the new Antminer E9 device for Ethereum mining. E9 delivers a huge hashing rate of 2 400 MH/s which could be compared to 25 of Nvidia’s high-end RTX 3080 graphics cards. With the Ethereum going to POS soon Bitmain has just released the new firmware that allows Ethereum Classic mining on E9. Let’s have a look at how to set up this ASIC for ETC.

Monero hard fork, Cryptocurrency node updates, Ethereum ASIC issues, Ethereum Merge news.

Se espera el cambio del mecanismo de consenso de Ethereum de Prueba de Trabajo (POW) a Prueba de Participación (POS) a mediados de Septiembre. Este evento también se conoce como Merge (fusión). Cuando esto suceda, la minería de Ethereum finalizará y no se podrá extraer más ETH con GPU o ASIC. Demos un vistazo detallado al Merge y cómo funcionará el grupo Ethereum de 2Miners en Septiembre.

Ethereum consensus switch from Proof-of-Work (POW) to Proof-of-Stake (POS) is expected in the middle of September. This event is also known as Merge. When this happens Ethereum mining ends and you could not mine any ETH with GPU or ASIC. Let’s have a detailed look at Merge and how the 2Miners Ethereum pool will operate in September.

Recently all Innosilicon A10 ASIC owners reported problems with the Ethereum (ETH) mining. This happened when the Ethereum DAG file size reached 5 GB. No matter how much memory the ASIC has 5 GB, 6 GB, 7 GB, or 8 GB. All of them fail to work right now. In this post, we talk about the causes of this incident and possible solutions.

New ASIC miners and ASIC firmware for the Ethereum Classic mining, suggested Ethereum merge date announced, ZEC, FIRO, ERGO, XMR node updates, and new mining software.

July 2022 is definitely a good month for Ethereum Classic. While the cryptocurrency market keeps falling, ETC goes in the opposite direction. In the last 24 hours, the exchange rate increased by 20%, and in the last two weeks it leaped by 169%. With more and more hype around the coin, it doesn’t remain unnoticed in the cryptocurrency community. Mining devices manufacturers are no exception. Now you can officially mine ETC with Innosilicon A10 and A10 Pro. Keep reading for more details and mining settings.
