Can't say about ethermine pool but some pools are very profitable, for example spark pool and Nicehash gives miner double profits since two days ago, in early february I used to earn 9$ per day but two days ago it's now 17$ to 19$ but today things are slowly going back to the way they are
I did notice that yes. Ethermine did the same thing for me. My daily profit estimate now is over $200 but it is starting to drop again as the transactions cool off. But it won't last and in the end I still get less per week than I did 2 years ago.
Isn't that the way it is with mining? My mining reward is going down too and there is nothing anyone can do about it, let's just keep hoping that this bull season lasted a bit longer so we can get more closer to ROI, I used to earn 4$ before the bullrun and now it's 9$, getting ROI will only take longer once bear market starts
