Etc had hard fork today and it can be minned with 3gb gpus now
Any idea why Nicehash won't support it anymore? They said that by supporting ETC it would lead to 100% invalid shares and the sellers of hash would get paid but buyers of hash would result in a complete loss. I am completely puzzled by this because this algo is pretty much the same except the DAG size is just smaller. Anyone got a clue as to why they would do this?
Probably because all the miners used for Eth need to be updated to support the new ETC algo. So if Nicehash sends a request to the miner to switch to ETC and the miner isnt updated it will only provide invalid shares. I'm sure in a month or two they will add support for it.
