I've just been able to catch up on ETH news after a few weeks and from what i've read i'm now confused as to when the block reward reduction is going to be implemented. Is it October 2018 or during the Constantinople upgrade in 2019?
That being said, it indeed seems like ETH mining is guaranteed to end for GPU miners when that happens (i don't see ETH price recovering anytime soon). I wonder if Bitmain knew that ETH was not going to go POS this year, thus the ASIC developments.
5º They obviously want to reduce the amount of coins generated, and begin to take away from the coin those miners, so that the migration to total PoS is done without many people complaining too much.
Ignore the troll, the fork to reduce block reward, delay difficulty bomb and a few other network updates is called
constantinople, and its this year october 2018
this...
