Hello everybody, i'm new to mining so I think my question is kinda nooby but still...

I want to buy a Bitmain E3 Ethash algo, But I heard that ETH want's to hardfork the algo like Monero did to avoid the asic miners. How serious do you guys think this treath is?
And if ETH does a algo hardfork can I still mine ETC, musicoin and Ubiq with the E3 or isn't that possible?

thanks in advance

So far from what I read, they will not hard-fork to change their algo. They did an investigation and found out that the E3 is similiar to a GPU rig and its not a threat to their network.

But if they hard-fork you will be able to mine all the other coins like ETC or Musicoin. However keep in mind that if ETH forks, they might fork also since the 51% risk will be higher then since there will be more ASICs on their network.
