Guys,

Sorry to bring the bad news, but dual miner might be over in a few months.

Asic miners on the market are now spiking up the difficulty for LBC/DCR/PASC/SIA

Baikal Giant-B - Blake256R14/Blake256R8/Blake2B/Lbry/Pascal

Antminer A3 - SIA

Dual mining maybe gone soon as GPUs cant compete with ASICs, you have have noticed rewards and payouts and difficulty and spike lately, Devs of claymore may need to reduce their fees. to help in a few months.





ETH asic also announced, release in coming weeks.

Do you even know the basics of ethash algorithm? it is so memory-intensive that it would be too hard to design an ASIC with that much memory, let alone a compact size (like the S9).This fact makes eth ASIC-proof.

Try again next time.

it only takes 4gb to mine... PoS is coming late 2018
its coming, start selling ur rigs.

It only takes 4GB system RAM, and about 2.5GB on each card (increases over time). That is not the point. Ethereum mining is extremely memory intensive, making memory bandwidth and latency the only limiting factor. If you made an ASIC 1000 times faster than a GPU... It would mine identical to a GPU given the same memory. High speed memory interfaces are not cheap. At best you may get a 3x improvement, not worth the investment cost. BTC ASICs are about 3000x faster than GPU, LTC about 150X, others somewhere in between.
