Bitfly: Ethermine will close the ETH mining pool on September 15th, and will not provide a dedicated mining pool for PoW forked coins

[Bitfly: Ethermine will close the ETH mining pool on September 15 and will not provide a dedicated mining pool for PoW forked coins] On August 19, Bitfly, the parent company of the Ethermine mining pool, announced that the mining phase of Ethereum will be Ends on September 15th, after which time it will no longer be possible to mine ETH on the Ethereum network using GPUs or ASICs. Once the PoW mining phase is over, the Ethermine pool will switch to withdrawal-only mode. An accurate countdown timer will be provided on the miner dashboard, and users can continue to mine Ethereum until the countdown reaches zero. This means that all Ethermine layer servers will be shut down and users will no longer be able to connect their miners to the Ethermine pool. After careful evaluation, Bitfly has decided not to provide dedicated mining pools for any of the planned PoW forks. However, Ethermine will continue to provide ETC, RVN, Ergo and Beam mining pools.

According to previous news, the tentative TTD for the merger of the Ethereum mainnet is expected to be on September 15.
