Ethermine, the ETH mining pool that accounts for more than 27% of the Ethereum network’s hashrate, says it will no longer support Proof-of-Work ETH mining after the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency network completed upgrading The Merge to switch to using the Proof-of-Stake mechanism.

This mining pool also confirmed that it will not support any other PoW ETH forks, meaning that it will close the ETH mining server completely.

Instead, users can continue to use ASIC miners and GPU graphics cards to mine Ethermine-supported cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum Classic (ETC), Ravencoin (RVN), Ergo (ERGO), and Beam (BEAM).

The Merge is the most important upgrade in Ethereum history, scheduled for early September 15, 2022. This is the long-awaited event for the Ether community in particular and the cryptocurrency community in general.
