Possible great news for games who will get excellent offers on used RX580 gpus for Christmas as mining ETH will become unprofitable.

Here´s a study of the date and daily cash flow of a typical RX 580 card with 28 MH/s of hashing power, the chashflow estimates 1 ETH = 245 USD and includes power costs and pool fees.

Apparently the Ethereum network is releasing their so called "ice age" for mining in preparation to a transition to Proof of Stake, this should happen at the end of this year as the above numbers confirm.

It´s a bad idea to build mining rigs having Ethereum in mind right now, also what will happen with our Hashflare and Genesis Mining Contracts? please post your opinions below.
