Indeed been looking at the figures close to buying s9 what it makes on BTC a month to what an ETC/ETC rig can make and blows the generation away since the block reward half in july. No sign of an S9 banking its ROI any time soon. GPU mining on ETH and ETC is about 4 to 6 month brake even and now with the 480s coming out modded bios firmware it is going to be intresting if ETH or ETC goes POS. Wonder what will be next for gpu mining.
Maybe Zcash will be the next profitable coin..
Thats an idea, i've read on some of the ethereum forums that Monero might be another option... Curious to see how it turns out.
It seems some of the Ethereum mining hash has moved to the Monero mining. The difficulty has dropped a bit.
