Thanks, I thought it's close because Ethermine keep posting stuff about their new Ethereum stacking pool in their Twitter and also MEWWallet keep advertising different staking methods.
Honestly I'm really scared that what's gonna happen in ETH PoS and that's why I can't risk staking any amount of ETH either solo or in a pool because how we can be sure that price of Ethereum doesn't decrease after PoS update or worse how can we be sure that their programming are perfect and can't let hack attacks like what happens to doomed destiny of BitcoinSV?
I think that having both PoV + PoS at least for a while after introducing PoS is a good idea that Ursul0 mentions.
I believe that's what is going to happen. PoW + PoS will co-exist for a while, but PoW block reward will be getting slowly so low or so hard that it will not be worthy to use it until it will cease to exist. And we will probably have testnet of PoS before it get launched to iron any issues it might have.
As for miners, ETC and RVN are strong candidates when ETH leaves PoW, as many GPUs that can't mine ETH anymore still can mine those just fine.
