AMD card for ETH, Nvidia card for ETH.
Sometimes other coin will gain more, but ETH always back to his throne.
I think the new DAG in a couple of hours might take care of that "fact".
yup .... every dag is getting more and more painful even for my 6ghs farm....
... the ice-age timebomb is painful, I dont think I can bear till 1st Nov even with reward halving - either way miners are screwed
my only consolation is we have vaulted all mined ETH since January -- hope it would be worth higher when it reaches POS.
I thought there would be a block reward halving from today onwards. I must've misunderstood... -.-
Looks like the truth is somewhere in the middle...
For the last 2+ years, the block reward has been 5 ETH every block mined every 15 seconds (on average). I checked whattomine.com, and it looks like the current block reward (BW) value is 4.85. I think they are slowly reducing the block reward downward periodically to 3 ETH per block mined. Once ETH forks to 'metropolis' this September, the reward will be 3, likely, until it forks again to 'serenity'. Once 'serenity' is released, ETH will be fully POS.
So my best guess/understanding is that we can expect a gradual decrease in block reward until we hit 3 ETH per block.
If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll delete this post.
