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.
Maybe it can be worthfull i saw some of miner are mining eth for good maybe they get what the earnings they want so they continue to mine those, maybe also you should try it so you can find out to yourself that eth mining is worth it or not, and also i dont know what is the turn out of monero mining since i don't have any idea how profitable it was if we select to do so maybe we must do some backreads so we may know the status of monero mining profitability.
I mine both the ETH and ETC, whichever is more profitable as both prices are quite stable recently, not like a few weeks ago.
