Largest Ethereum Mining Pool, Ethermine, Shows No Support for PoW Hard Fork

The Ethereum Merge is rapidly approaching, marking a significant shift from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). This transition has sparked debate about potential PoW hard forks, but one key player has made its stance clear: Ethermine, Ethereum's (ETH) largest mining pool, won't support PoW fork post-merge.

Ethermine, the world's largest ETH mining pool, has decided not to offer any dedicated mining pools for the planned PoW network. They wrote a blog post highlighting the end of the PoW mining phase of the network.

This decision is a significant blow to proponents of a PoW fork. As the dominant force in Ethereum mining, Ethermine's lack of support signals a challenging future for any potential PoW continuation. The platform noted that it wouldn’t offer a.

Ethermine, the world's largest Ethereum mining pool, will stop offering proof-of-work (PoW) services after the Ethereum network switches to proof-of-stake (PoS) and will focus its resources on supporting Ethereum's intended PoS future. Nice to see Ethermine (one of the largest mining pools) supporting Ethereum as it's intended to be. They are choosing to refer folks to other mineable coins they already support instead.

This also means that ethereum will shut down all Ethermine. 14 de sept. de 2025 is when it becomes reality.

This move reinforces the growing consensus within the Ethereum community that PoS is the future, and that resources should be dedicated to ensuring a smooth and successful transition.
