The 2Miners pool lists 19 cryptocurrencies with 10 thousand online members. There is Ethereum with at least 4 thousand miners, Ravencoin, Bitcoin Gold, Zcoin, Ethereum Classic, and other popular cryptocurrencies. However, the pool often gets requests about adding Zilliqa that supports dual mining (mining two cryptocurrencies at the same time). We decided to put its profitability to test.

Ethereum Classic Will Not Be Supported by ASICs and Nicehash
November 1, 2020 · John Smith
Mid-2020 wasn’t the best time for Ethereum Classic. The network suffered from several 51% attacks in August and September. As a result, miners lost a lot of their earnings. ETC took action by decreasing the DAG file size. This way, even 3GB GPUs can mine ETC and the hash rate is significantly higher. But this is not the only positive change. Let’s see what to expect from ETC in the future.
